Re: NECA Gears of War Series 1

Has anybody else had any problems with the Torque Bow weapon breaking?
I had to return both my Theron Guards to the dealer as the Bows on both broke straight out of the package.

Other than that I'm impressed with the figures I've got so far,a bit more poseability would help some of them but the detailing is excellent.

My Torque Bows were fine... until I broke one of them myself during posing.

The plastic NECA uses seems brittle. My first Marcus figure had a broken foot, and the second the elbow joint snapped. I didn't even bother replacing the second one since it could still stay on.

My Torque Bows were fine but they do seem pretty fragile since I broke one during posing as well.

Nice pics Zero. Backgrounds fit quite well. Btw any of you know how I can grab my hands on a Carmine figure for a good reasonable price?

NECA is really turning this into a fantastic series. Can't wait for the new releases!

Also, here's a Theron Guard shot....

My bow broke right out of the package also, but one drop of glue and it's as good as new!

Were there any helmet-less Therons in the game?

It's strange NECA didn't do this version with the different visor.

Would have been cooler.

Aw crap, my series 2 Marcus just had his elbow break while I was dusting my room. Kinda annoying!

Re: NECA Gears of War Series 1

I am really enjoying collecting these not only because I'm a big fan of Gears of War be it the game or the comics but also because they are quite detailed and cool looking. Also am really excited to get my hands on a Boomer. Hope that they'll make all 4 types that are seen in the game. Was really hoping that they might make the Berserker from the first game, really liked fooling around with that thing lol.

RAAM is way too small and so is the troika he's holding.

Re: NECA Gears of War Series 1

Found series 4 at my TRU this weekend, all but Hoffman were on the pegs. Picked up a Locust Grenadier Flamethrower (awesome), but skipped out on the Ticker and Theron disguise figs.

Re: NECA Gears of War Series 1

Eh? I thought Hoffman was part of series 5? What's he doing on the pegs so soon?

I'm not sure if he's in 4 or 5; he's kinda a 4.5 release, so i'd expect to see him right before 5.

Opened up the RAAM vs KIM pack over the weekend:

Great pics as usual Zero!

Raam may be a little on the small side, but he still looks bad ass!!

Re: NECA Gears of War Series 1

picked up these guy today at work.

the ticker is such a waste i think, really should of been a 2 pack. Love the Grenadier Flamer though.

Re: NECA Gears of War Series 1

Found Series 4 today, and got em all, but Marcus and Dom in theron disguise are going back......kinda weak. The Grenadiers are awesome...I do dig the ticker myself...

I am glad I passed on the Locusts in wave 3...I was annoyed by the (continued) lack of arm articulation in them. Well, the Locust Hive set that I scored corrected that in a big, big way. The set includes 4 different versions plus the standard look. Sporting new and highly improved arm articulation, these are FINALLY the Locusts figures I've been hoping for

Just hope Boomer in series 5 is truly to scale and not pulling a Raam...

Re: NECA Gears of War Series 1

I picked up Dom and Marcus in Theron disguise the other day and I actually love 'em. Maybe I'm a sucker, but they are better than the rehashed Locusts over and over. And I agree with Sniper33, the Ticker at $14 per figure is a rip-off. Had it been a 2-pack, I would have bought 'em...

Couldn't find Hoffman anywhere (I *really* want to add him to my collection), but - until then - Dom and Marcus in Theron disguise are front and center in my GOW collection.

On a side note, is it me, or is Dom in Theron disguise almost the same design as Reaper from Team Ronin in Epic's UT3?? Maybe that's why I'm a fan of the figures cuz I love the designs in UT3.

Nah, it's not you. I always thought the UT3 designs and Gears designs look very alike... same with Cole and Othello.
