<p>The New York Toy Fair kicked off over the weekend. And video games being big business and all, there were loads of new gaming figures on show. <em>Loads</em>.</p>
<p><!-- Gawker Tags/Categories: toys, figures, halo, mcfarlane, merch, neca, news, street fighter, toy fair --><span id="more-327249"></span>
<p><img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/02/inferno.jpg" alt="" /><strong>DANTE&#8217;S INFERNO</strong> &#8211; First up, though (and these are all courtesy of <a href="http://toynewsi.com/">Toy News International</a>), we&#8217;ll start with perhaps the most interesting figure of the weekend. Which is this one, to the left, giving us our first good look at the protagonist from EA&#8217;s upcoming take on Dante&#8217;s Inferno. Reminds me of Altair&#8230; if Altair had to give up the assassin business and get by selling his body. It&#8217;s due sometime later in 2009<br clear="all"></p>
<p><img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/02/gears2toys.jpg" alt="" /> <strong>GEARS OF WAR 2</strong> &#8211; Three new Gears of War 2 figures were on show: a Locust flamethrower, your trusty robot companion Jack and a Ticker. A surprisingly cute, buck-toothed Ticker. These guys (along with the Boomer, which wasn&#8217;t pictured) will all be out later this year.</p>
<p><img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/02/ghtoys.jpg" alt="" /> <strong>GUITAR HERO</strong> &#8211; God knows who these are intended for. They&#8217;re 3-inch cartoon figures for Guitar Hero, but look more like something you&#8217;d buy from a dollar store. Seriously, Activision, McFarlane, give up on this crap already.</p>
<p><img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/02/sftoys.jpg" alt="" /> <strong>STREET FIGHTER</strong> &#8211; Now we&#8217;re talking. The Akuma looks frightfully accurate, and the Guile, delightfully brutish, but this second wave &#8211; following up from the <a href="http://media.kotaku.com.au/mt/games/2008/11/street_fighter_iv_figures_are_ugly_yet_poseable-2.html">Ryu, Ken and Crimson Viper annouced earlier</a> &#8211; is dominated by Chun-Li&#8217;s thighs. Look at them! Kristin Kreuk, look at them!</p>
<p><img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/02/resttoys.jpg" alt="" /><strong>AND THE REST&#8230;</strong>- The video game-related gear winds up with these leftovers, comprising NECA&#8217;s Player Select Line and the only really new stuff McFarlane showed for their Halo line. From NECA, final (or near-final) sculpts of their Prototype and Dead Space figures, while from McFarlane, it&#8217;s a first look at &#8220;Halo Stylised&#8221;.</p>

Oh, what&#8217;s that? <a href="http://www.kotaku.com.au/games/2008/09/mcfarlane_toys_joins_the_halo_wars-2.html">McFarlane&#8217;s <em>already</em> on the case</a>? How <em>unexpected</em>.

They&#8217;re coming smaller (at 2.5&#8243;) than the <a href="http://kotaku.com/search/mcfarlane+halo/bydate/?timerange=all">standard Halo figures</a>, and in packs of three, and all colour-coded, because Halo Wars is an RTS, get it?

We&#8217;ve lost count. We <em>can</em> tell you, though, that for the first time in a long time, this is a <em>new</em> figure. Not a repaint, not an old figure with new weapons, it&#8217;s <em>all</em> new. And it&#8217;s a UNSC Marine, who comes with a battle rifle, a pistol and a trip mine. Should be out in March 2009, along with the other repaints/reissues in the <a href="http://kotaku.com/photogallery/halonovfig/">gallery</a>.</p>

They&#8217;re just the start of Activision and McFarlane&#8217;s push to sell you more mostly-immobile hunks of Guitar Hero-related plastic. Due for release in January 2009 will be a line of customisable guitars that let you swap out the heads, necks and bodies (no word on size or price), while later in the year, there&#8217;ll be more versions of the guitars, as well as 10&#8243; versions of the already-seen characters, eight more of the 6&#8243; characters (including Clive Winston and Eddie Knox) and a few lines of 2&#8243; character figures. If you&#8217;re torn between just which Johnny Napalm 10&#8243; figure you&#8217;ll want &#8211; the &#8220;British Flag&#8221; variant or the &#8220;Skeleton&#8221; variant &#8211; the full release (sadly, lacking any pictures) follows.</p>
