Altair, Kratos, and Lara Croft - Image 1 


Comic-con, aka Nerdvana, would have to be the premiere event this year after E3's less than stellar reception. While there are plenty of booths hosting game demos and photo shoots, a gamer's Comic-con experience wouldn't be complete without taking a few hours walking around the venue to see all the hot figures on display.

No, not booth babes. We're talking about those deliciously detailed figures behind the glass. Picking favorites is difficult, but some are simply so eye-catching that we can't miss them. The threesome of Altair, Kratos and Lara Croft masterfully created by NECA is sure to please the crowd.

Square Enix' booth offered countless of figures mostly dominated by Final Fantasy characters, yet we couldn't help but feast our eyes on this epic Lenneth piece. Diorama would actually fit the description more, as the star from Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth is depicted flying over a cathedral.

Like one would expect, it's tagged with a hefty price. You'll have to dish out US$ 450 to get this warrior-maiden.

Gears of War - Image 1Hearing a noise, Marcus Fenix trains his gun on the shadows, searching for the slightest movement when out of the darkness comes... the family dog?

Well that may not be what happened, but you'd certainly watch out that your pooch isn't looking for a chew toy when you buy a Marcus Fenix collectible. That's right, the National Entertainment Collectibles Association, Inc. has signed on with Epic Games to produce "a full line of collectible action figures, busts, statues, dioramas and prop replicas from the Gears of War video game."

Joel Weinshanker, President and COO of NECA, has this to say about the franchise:

Only once in a while does a property come along that is so rich in content, with amazing character designs and groundbreaking achievements in art, music, and story. While having to turn down most properties made available to us, this was an offer we could not refuse. We are thankful that we are able to work with the folks at Epic to bring these characters out of the box and into fans hands.


Just recently the award winning soundtrack of Gears of War has also been released by Sumthing Else Music Works. Now you can make Fenix fight the dog with the soundtrack.
