Up for auction: Marcus Fenix

Recently spotted on eBay was a handful of Marcus Fenix statuettes. Most of you will recognize Mr. Fenix as a the hulking badass with a chainsaw on his gun from Gears of War. The statuette is roughly 15cm tall, hand painted, and has a limited edition production number on the base. Curiously, all three auctions are based in the UK (the currency for each is in GBP). Was Microsoft running some special promotion in the UK (or is some guy using three user names to sell them)? All three statues have at least 2 days left on the auction block, and the highest bid currently stands at £65 ($126.33). If you've got the urge -- and the cash -- to have one for your very own, you still have plenty of time to place a bid. Given how much they're going for right now, we could see these hitting $200 by the time the auctions end. How much would you fork over to get one?

See an embiggened image after the break.


If any fanboys get there hands on one of these, be sure and let us know.

[Thanks, un1qu3 n3wy0rk]

3. Thanks for the embiggened pic; it looked cool in the first one... the second one looks like young, thoughtful Marcus Fenix, not yet troubled by the horrors of emergence holes and berzerkers... Perhaps this Marcus Fenix writes poetry?

4. I won one of these statuettes in a competition. And you Americans can`t get one haha!

5. Yep, they were prizes in a HMV.co.uk competition. I posted higher quality pics of Statue Marcus on my own site.

According the original competition page, "HMV.co.uk have teamed up with our friends at Microsoft to give away 50 Gears of War Statuettes"

6. Oops. Forgot that HTML links are stripped out here.
For higher-res pics and a quote from Mark Rein saying that the statues are legit:
