NECA, Finally.

[MJ12]

Announced to be working on Bioshock toys.

Dear god, I am excited to finally have a worthy game figure. I want my Bouncer.

For New licenses Randy made the announcement that NECA would be doing a line of figures based on the video game BioShock. First first series which is slated to hit shelves in October will include the Big Daddy Bouncer the Big Sister, Big Daddy Rosie, Splicers, and the Big Daddy Player from BioShock 2. Though no images were made available Randy mentioned this line would consist of some of the most complex figures to date for the comany and that they were massive. Look for a first look at this later next month at San Diego Comic Con.

No Fontaine? Goddamned NECA.

Why would you want him? That would be so boring. Big muscle guy pff.

I don't mean Fontaine at the end. I mean Atlas.

Bioshock is a good game. It has its share of problems and lackluster moments (the entire end sequence when you become a big daddy is shit IMO, the fight with Fontaine is shit, and the endings are shit), but overall it was a well-done game that was immersive, beautiful at times, and just plain fun. I mean, using cyclone trap 2 to throw an enemy into the sky and watching them crash back down? Firing bees at people? A crossbow that can set up an electric tripwire? How can you not like those things?

NECA sounds like some kind of politically oriented association.

 

[Barnz]

How can you not like those things?

Most of the plasmids were pretty useless. It feels like a System Shock set in an underwater city. Not to mention how it's similar to SS on many points. I mean I felt like I was playing SS2 (for a console) during botanical garden level. I knew Atlas was the bad guy all along. There's no reason to go back, and play it again when you beat it.

This I agree with.

It was meant to be System Shock underwater. As for the plasmids, yes, some were useless, but others--notably telekinesis, incinerate, cyclone trap, winter blast, BEES, and sonic boom--were fun.

I don't mean Fontaine at the end. I mean Atlas.

I really did like him, but as a figure, I am not so sure.

Just imagine a huge Bouncer Big Daddy with a little sister on his shoulder.

If NECA was really cool they'd give him red LED light eyes.

It's still a damn good narrative of a game that you rarely see these days.

Bioshock is miles more unique than most games put out today,

But ZT, just imagine having a Fontaine to call all your other figures goddamned sploicers.

 

[MFL]

... RYAN IS ALIVE!

 

[Absinthe]

An Andrew Ryan figure, would you kindly.

 

[Warped]

I'd probably buy a figure if it were at the $20 price point

Only if he had a voice chip.

"Goddamned sploic-" *hits button 5 times* "splo-splo-splo-splo-sploiccerrss"

 

[Gunner]

I still have two Big daddy figurines from the CE, they're pretty lame to be honest so these toys can only be an improvement.

 

[MJ12]

NECA makes awesome sculpts, so no doubt they will be awesome.

[MJ12]

You're so anti-neca it makes me sick.

They are becoming what McFarlane could have been if they didn't start spitting out baseball, army, and dragon figures for the past 5 years.

Chew on this.

 

[Darkside55]

I'm not anti-NECA. I just haven't been impressed with their Player Select line outside of Raziel.

Are you actually going to tell me cool face Ken and bug-eyed Chun-Li look good?

 

[MJ12]

I can't believe I am hearing this from the same kid who grew up with 80's toys.

I lol'd for a good ten minutes.
