For those with far too much money -GoW statues
Posted by Christophor "SuperGuido" Rick, 105 days ago Aug 11, 2008 10:22

Best statues ever based on the best game ever on sale from the best retailer ever. Everyone in the world is so extremely excited that they may collectively wet themselves.

NECA today announced Amazon.com will be the exclusive retailer for its Gears of War Lancer replica and “Headshot” Locust Drone action figure in the U.S. and Canada. Customers who pre-order the Lancer replica, which is available for $139.99, will receive a free copy of the standard edition of the Gears of War 2 game for Xbox 360 and be eligible to upgrade to the Limited Collector’s Edition of the game for an additional $10.00. NECA’s Lancer replica and Gears of War 2, developed by Epic Games and published by Microsoft Game Studios, are scheduled for simultaneous release on November 7, 2008. Also scheduled for release on November 7 is NECA’s “Headshot” Locust Drone action figure with metal COG tag replicas, which retails for $19.99.

NECA’s Gears of War collectibles are intricately designed and appeal to fans of the game and devoted action figure collectors alike. The Lancer Assault Rifle is one of the iconic weapons of choice in the Gears of War universe with its signature chainsaw bayonet. NECA sourced 3D data from the Gears of War 2 game to fashion the electronic Lancer replica, which is 36 inches in length and runs on three “C” batteries. Highly detailed and hand painted, the reproduction features a trigger that sets off a motorized chainsaw sound accompanied by physical vibration. NECA’s Lancer replica is also equipped with a removable clip and an adjustable side handle that folds in and out and slides back and forth.

The Locust Drone is a nasty enemy in Gears of War, and NECA has iterated on its original Locust Drone action figure to introduce the “Headshot” Locust Drone, a collectible depicting the merciless foot soldier taking an unfortunate Longshot Sniper Rifle blast to the head. The “Headshot” Locust Drone comes complete with real metal COG tags, a nod to Gears of War’s intrepid Delta Squad.

Sorry about that leading sarcasm but it’s all I ever think of when I hear GoW - Best game in the universe from the major gaming news outlets. Of course there were three best games ever in that year.
