NECA's Gears of War - Questions?

[JeffSaylor]

I'm opening this thread up for any questions regarding present and future figures in NECA's Gears of War line. Series 5 is now hitting retail and many (including myself) are curious to what the future holds in Series 6 and beyond.

I'll be rounding up the best questions in the near future and posing them to Randy Falk at NECA for answer. Thanks!

Hi Jeff, thanks for ur reply!!

This thread is a really good way to get in touch with NECA!

1. Well the first and foremost question I (we all) want to know is why the Boomer not taller than others!??? The current figure is really really awesome, and no doubts he is BIG. I love him! But he is just not tall enough. Height wise not game accurate. Its going definitely going to disappoint many fans who are already disappointed with a "mini-RAAM" version. Little more dollar is ok to pay for fans who buy truck load of gears merchandises!

2. Series 6, along with Mauler , what are the other figures in store? Redone Baird and Cole?

3. The new COG solider's articulation is great. Will the older lot get similar articulations too? More Marcus and Dom???

4. Fans are dying to see Dizzy, Tai, Skorge and Kantus. Any good news for us?

5. Love how the Locust Horde is growing stronger series by series. Will we see some powerful Locusts, like Berserker, Blood Mount and the most famous Wretches? No exclusives here please!!

6. I know Disguise Marcus and Dom were not a hit among all.. what does NECA think? Was it a good move? Boomer on series 4 would have been a super hit!

7. (Optional.. just kidding) What does NECA think about all the fan made videos on Youtube using their action figures? Specialy mine :P

8. I am sure you will have some great questions to ask, so I will stop at this.. hehe

Thanks

Can we expect any more 1:1 weapon replicas?

It's been asked before, but are there any new ideas / viewpoints on the liklihood of a Locust Queen figure? Maybe as a limited exclusive or some-such?

Related: should we largely consider "unique" figures (those whose parts cannot be re-used later for other figures) to be essentially out of the question unless the economy picks up?

Are there any plans to create figures based on Epic's Unreal franchise somewhere down the road? (specifically thinking Unreal Championship 2 and Unreal Tournament 3)

Have non-weapon props been considered as accessories? For example: the Locust "COG-tag" which is a crude metal Locust insignia designed to be worn around the neck, or the Kantus scroll made of human skin, or the Trinity of Worms artifact (a sacred Locust object that ties into their culture and beliefs), which the players find while playing through the single-player story, either like the COG-tags packaged with the headshot drone, or in scale with the figures?

EDIT: If we do get Wretches, will they be in a 2 / 3 pack or will they have a gimmick like the Ticker?

most of my questions are covered in the above posts

1. will any of the larger locust like reavers and seeders be considered further down the line?

2. what 2-packs and box sets can we expect to see? a boxed set with all three helmet designs and jack would be beyond awesome

3. will there be figures of other characters apart from the general soldiers like anya, prescott and the locust queen -edit- and any of the characters from the comics and books like mataki, alex, barrick or rojas

4. will the locust pendant found in the game be available like with the cog tags?

5. are there any other helmet designs for the cog soldiers or are they all covered?

all i got

Are there any plans to release the Delta Squad(marcus, Dom, Baird, Cole) box set outside of England?
