GoW series two figures: Now with exploding heads!

by Dustin Burg { Feb 19th 2008 at 1:30PM }

Thanks to the little big event dubbed ToyFare 2008, AFI has blessed us with a photographic preview of NECA's Gears of War series two action figures. And before we go any further, the awesomely bloody-violent picture you see above is a second series GoW figure rightfully named "Locust Headshot". A figure that brings tears to our eyes and is a guaranteed X3F purchase. We've even made room for it by our Viva Pinata toys.

Moving along, NECA's second series will be comprised of the Locust Headshot figure you see above, Dominic Santiago, Damon Baird and another Locust variant. No release date has been set, but one could gather that since series one will be releasing in April, the second series should release either in the Summer or Fall. The wait will be rough on us though, we want our headshot figure NOW!

[Thanks, Joshua Johnson]

Lets see a Halo figure do that!

Neon Jebus @ Feb 19th 2008 1:56PM

Yeah I'll take one please!

They missed an opportunity right there for a Carmine figure.

Magic Whiskey @ Feb 19th 2008 2:21PM

I can see potential here: of course you can aim your Master Chief at the popped guy, but there's more:

Maybe he's dating a Barbie doll and found out she was pregnant.

Maybe the Locust in question here got the RRoD, screamed "GAD!" and asploded?

Or...more likely than anything...he was an early HD-DVD adopter.

Where is my Dom they promised? I have yet to see a picture.

Dustin Burg @ Feb 19th 2008 2:23PM

once the website quits acting up, you can view "your Dom" figure right here.

Anticrawl @ Feb 19th 2008 2:33PM

Sweet, ya'll never posted the pictures in the galaries so I just assumed there was none.

"and another Locust variant."

isn't that the General Raam character model - in a very red version of his usually black attire?

Boff @ Feb 20th 2008 5:40AM

I'm not sure, the outfit looked like it was a commando (the ones with the torque bows) but the head I can't place. Does look a bit like Raam though.

Oh yeah, that headshot figure is awesome!

Those figures are HUGE - 12-14"! Are those 12" the prototypes for the 7" (a la McFalane) or are they going to offer both 7" and 12" ?

Something is not quite right with the Marcus head though... :-(
