[HR][/HR][B]NECA's[/B] Head of Product Development, [B]Randy Falk[/B], once again returns to kindly answer a new round of questions regarding their popular line of [B]Gears of War[/B] action figures. In addition, we get a first look at upcoming new Boomer types (Butcher and Grinder) and the world debut of the Locust priests/monks, the [B]Kantus[/B]. For those keeping track of this amazing figure series, NECA has also supplied a handy poster showing all 33 figures released to date that you can download [B][URL="https://www.figures.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=2199&stc=1&d=1257876758"]HERE[/URL][/B]! Lock 'n load your Lancer and let's move out...

1) With the amazing all-star Series 5 now hitting retail, the question on top of everyone's mind is what characters will make up Series 6? I know we have the robot Jack and numerous Boomer types (Mauler, Grinder and Butcher) still to go...

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

3) Love how the Locust Horde is growing stronger series by series. Will we see more powerful Locusts, like Berserkers, Blood Mounts and the most famous Wretches? No exclusives here please!

4) What's the likelihood of a Locust Queen figure or COG command like Anya?

5) The new Series 5 COG solider's articulation is incredible! Will older figures, such as Cole and Baird, receive similar upgraded articulations as a future release?

[CENTER][IMG]https://www.figures.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=2190&stc=1&d=1257876594[/IMG][/CENTER]

6) Speaking of COG soldiers, any chance of a box set featuring the three previously released helmet designs? Are there anymore helmet designs?

7) While I'm sure getting all the in-game characters produced is NECA's first priority, has there been any thought to producing characters from the comic books or novels?

[CENTER][IMG]https://www.figures.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=2189&stc=1&d=1257876956[/IMG][/CENTER]

8) Everyone agrees that the new Boomer figure is awesome, however there has been alot of discussion about his height and why he's not much taller than other figures. Care to end this Boomer debate?

9) Can fans expect any more 1:1 scale weapon replicas like your awesome Lancer rifle? A Locust Hammerburst would be killer! Any plans for more non-weapon props similar to your COG tags? A locust pendant perhaps?

10) With your Gears of War figures being a success, are there any plans to create figures based on Epic's UNREAL franchise somewhere down the road? (ie: Unreal Championship 2, Unreal Tournament 3, etc)

We'd like to thank Randy Falk for taking the time to answer these burning questions. We look forward to all the new Gears of War goodies NECA has planned!
