Amazon Gets Gears of War "Headshot" Locust

GamerVision Reports: "Way back in April, while scoping NECA's wares at the New York Comic Con, I took notice the Gears of War line had a Locust with an exploding head. Cue "Dreamweaver," I was in love. I had never seen an action figure with quite the attention to the source material as this one. Immediately, I began asking (read: begging) NECA for information about when and where I'd be able to get this wonderful piece of craftsmanship. They had no answer for me then, but I was persistent, asking them every opportunity I had. With last week's launch of the Lancer Bundle pre-order, I asked my guy at NECA if he had any info about the "Headshot" Locust. He told me to expect an announcement shortly, and he was right. Today, NECA broke the news Amazon.com would be the exclusive retailer for the action figure."

Don't like GeoW but this is awesome! Very nice model idea, a bit gory and violent, but awesome nonetheless.

How can you not like Gears but like theis when this is why gears is awesome.

Just asking a question here. No fanboyism involved.

Well, no I agree there's no 'fanboyism' involved.

I like it becuase it's a clever idea for a model. The game for me doesn't feel very responsive, and the whole mantra behind it, as well as the game itself, gore and all, doesn't tick a single box for me.

EDIT: As i said in the first comment, it's gory and violent, doesn't mean it's not an awesome piece.No one has thoguht of it before, especially with translucent red filter plastic.

I don't think there's a reason to not like Gears of War, but there isn't a reason to love it either.

Sweet.

'nuff said.

Though working Lancers (life sized or action-figured) would be sweeter!

i wouldn't say pathetic, i would say this game is so popular that when made in different types of the market it can sell and they know it will. smart move.
