Call of Duty: World at War Figures Show Off U.S., Brit Might
Posted by Brian Crecente at 12:00 AM on July 4, 2008
McFarlane Toys this morning announced that they will be making four toys based on upcoming shoot-fest Call of Duty: World at War. The toys, expecting to hit shelves this fall, will sell for $US 10 to $US 15 a pop.
The press release says there will be four soldiers:
Marine Infantry, Battle of Peleliu - Includes M1 Garand rifle and M1 bayonet
Marine Corps with Flamethrower, Battle of Peleliu - Includes M2-2 flamethrower with removable flame, and M1911A1 pistol & holster
Marine Corps with Machine Gun, Battle of Okinawa - Includes M-1928A1 machine gun w/20 round magazine and M1911A1 pistol & holster
British Special Ops, Battle for the Roer Triangle - Includes Mark II Sten gun
What? No bad guys? How am I supposed to reenact Operation Stalemate II without some Japanese figures to pack into my fortifications of coffee cups and DS cases?
McFARLANE TOYS ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH ACTIVISION TO PRODUCE ACTION FIGURES FOR CALL OF DUTY®: WORLD AT WAR
TEMPE, Ariz. - July 3X, 2008 ~ McFarlane Toys announces a partnership with Activision to produce action figures for the upcoming video game Call of Duty®: World at War. The line is expected to hit store shelves in fall, 2008 and retail for around $10-15.

* Marine Infantry, Battle of Peleliu - Includes M1 Garand rifle and M1 bayonet
* Marine Corps with Flamethrower, Battle of Peleliu - Includes M2-2 flamethrower with removable flame, and M1911A1 pistol & holster

@Gravnar: Color in war = defeats the purpose of camouflage.

When will people stop calling them "figures". You can pose figures, your can "play" with figures.
McFarlane creates statues with the illusion of joints.

I dislike the look of this statue. I really don't know why, It just for some reason doesn't appeal to me. Maybe it is just the design of it... there isn't enough color or something...

Tell me when they sell a guy on fire model, then I might buy one, or do I have to buy the flamethrower fig, 1/2 gallons of gas, and a bic lighter to make my one?

@phicaluk: Thath reminds me "that guy" from Strider Keep telling me "It's Strider Hiryu. He will never leave Eurasia alive". Boy, was he wrong!
@Dannon: Should have mini flamethrowers. You could use them to ligh up cigars (if youre into that, im not) or just melt then other toy soldiers. Burn, baby, burn!

@Shiryu: I missed the removable flames bit, more toys should come with removable flames, it'd make my Happy Meal toys collection way more exciting (and by collection I mean about 6 or 7 that I've collected over the past 5 years, that's right, it's one mean collection)

Give the British Ops guy an over the top British Accent and then he can be your villian, being from Britain I have begun to notice more and more in recent films that the more obvious a British accent is the more likely they are to turn out to be a bad guy as they generally start off friends with our main hero

Eh? Didnt Bash just reported this a few minutes back!? TIME PARADOX /o\
Anyway, my previous comment stands, very impressive detail (the other was the brit specialist) and hope the game delivers.
We really need pics of the flamethrower with detachable flame.

The huge marketing campaign MONTHS before the release of the game is driving me nuts. They should stop shoving trailers and figures down my throat to try and convince me to give Treyarch another try. It's almost like they're compensating for something, don't you think?

Thank god that they got the Call of Duty pointing/yelling guy as one. He's like the CoD mascot. I'm still mad at the fact he's not on the CoD4 case. >=|

Too bad there is no sniper and hitler doll, so you can at least pretend to assasinate him.
