Gears Of War Series 1 Figures (All Three, Real Photos)
Posted by Luke Plunkett at 10:30 PM on January 21, 2008
OK, no more screwin' around. No more pics of Marcus hiding in a dark, dark closet. No more shots of Cole standing proudly in the midnight rain. Action Figure Xpress have started pre-orders for the figures, and blown NECA's cover by posting clear, finished shots of all three figures, including the hitherto-unseen Locust Drone. They're listing a release date of April.

If you guys liked GOW, you need to check out Kill Switch by NAMCO for the original Xbox (it's also BC for the 360). In fact, this game and Resident Evil 4 inspired some of the game mechanics in GOW such as constant cover and over the shoulder POV.

@Anaardvark: It comes with all the weapons and all.
Also, is it just me, or are these figures supposed to look even more cartoony then the game? Just look at Marcus' and Cole's heads compared to real screenshots. They look like caricatures.

I wish they were the same size as the original GI Joe dolls from way back when. Almost 200 bucks for the set though? I can't justify spending that much.

I don't quite get why it's a pack of 14..
"This case of 14 figures may include duplicates of some or all figures."
Hmmm, I just want them separately :(

@mikecoscia: Also, I think that is just for that website. Hopefully there'll be reasonably priced individual figures.

I hope they don't all come with just Lancers. I want my Marcus using the weapons I used, Shotgun and Longshot.

@rebelphoenix:
Actually I'm quite tired of FPS and looking for over the shoulder. What other 360 games are gears-style?

@rebelphoenix: Due to the cover system and dodge mechanics a first-person view would not have worked well. Take Rare's Perfect Dark Zero as an example of why a first-person view would have been very bad. If you prefer a traditional FPS with a cover system, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas series nails this pretty well.
On a related note the figures look great but the pricing only promotes buyers to play them all on eBay for $25 each. More information on where to purchase them individually would be great.

Pretty cool looking, but still didn't like the game. If it was an fps it would have been great, but I'm really getting tired of this over the shoulder crap.

@photoboy: It is red and is blood. Adjust "screen" or "eyes" :P
They look nice, but I don't buy these things so I don't really care.

Looks pretty cool, although Marcus appears to have sprayed the front of his Lancer orange?

@dude360:
The price is for 14 0f the figures; Not 1 of each. Since they're by NECA, I'll assume they will be priced similarly to their RE4 figures (15$).

They don't look so great. I think they can do better.
