We now officially have a new set of toys to compliment (or rival) our Halo 3 McFarlane figures with manufacturing guru NECA confirming that Gears of War figures will be releasing to retail later this Spring.
NECA announced that three "highly detailed" Gears figures will be available at retailers later this Spring, including our man Marcus Fenix, Augustus Cole, and a Locust Drone. NECA did not confirm any dimensions or pricing information in their press release, but did say that the Gears figures will have "extensive articulation, and game-accurate accessories". Chainsaw much? They also found it fitting to tease us with a dramatic Marcus Fenix figure pic you see above and did not include any full product shots. Yes, the pic is artsy and gritty, but darned if we don't want to see 'em already. What little teases.

Mmmmmm.... Extensive articulation....
Not that I'd purchase either set, but I'd have these over the Halo ones anyday.

*Chiming in with my expected comments, since this is a toy story..*
I'm on the fence about the Gears figs. I mean back in the day I thought they'd be sweet, but odds are if I were to pick any up, it'd be Locust characters over the Gears. I can see getting a Fenix fig, though..mostly to give Master Chief a Chainsaw Gun:)

Oh, to add...
The Cole figure's arm musculature looks great! (Follow Dustin's link from the story to peep it. There's three GoW pics up right now actually; two under this story and one under 'Can't Stop The Cole Train', found on the left of the NECA page.
