McFarlane Toys in partnership with Ubisoft announced today a licensing agreement to bring the Assassin's Creed video games franchise to store shelves.

McFarlane Toys’ Assassin's Creed Series 1 will consist of seven figures including the fan favorite characters of Connor and Haytham Kenway. Connor will come as two action figures – one in his Assassin’s Creed III traditional Assassins garb and the second, as Ratonhnhaké:ton in the upcoming “Tyranny of King George” storyline.

The Assassin Creed figure line of figures will stand approximately six inches tall, include an average of 25 points of articulation, and will come with a unique code that unlocks exclusive Assassin's Creed video game content.

Todd McFarlane, CEO and founder of McFarlane Toys, said, “I'm always excited to work with a premiere entertainment company like Ubisoft. Their world-class studios have created some of the most compelling video games in recent memory. The Assassin's Creed series is a huge hit with gamers, and continues to grow in popularity. We're thrilled to have the opportunity to create high-quality collectibles based on their games, and to bring them to a wide audience at a reasonable price.”

Todd explains, “We're always looking to raise the bar with our figures, and Ubisoft has been a great partner to help make that happen. These will be the first McFarlane Toys to include integration with the game itself. Our Assassin's Creed figures will include codes that unlock unique content in game – things like new weapons, clothing colors, or other customization options. Features like this reward the hardcore fans who buy the figures, and give collectors some added value.”

McFarlane Toys' Assassin's Creed action figures will retail for $14.99-$16.99 and will be available at major mass and specialty retailers in the United States, Canada, South America, Australia, Mexico and New Zealand including Walmart, Target, Toys "R" Us, GameStop, Amazon, local comic book stores, and more.

Mcfarlane Toys are the only toy company that call their 4" figures 6", maybe they cant count.

Please tell me that was an honest-to-god "Todd Can't Count" reference like ten years later. If it was, we just became best friends.

McFarlane should stick to Halo and let NECA do it's Assassin's Creed job.

This reminds me of Todd's Prince of Persia figs.

It'll probably be about the same size, and do just about as well.
