Amazon Gets Gears of War "Headshot" Locust

GamerVision Reports: "Way back in April, while scoping NECA's wares at the New York Comic Con, I took notice the Gears of War line had a Locust with an exploding head. Cue "Dreamweaver," I was in love. I had never seen an action figure with quite the attention to the source material as this one. Immediately, I began asking (read: begging) NECA for information about when and where I'd be able to get this wonderful piece of craftsmanship. They had no answer for me then, but I was persistent, asking them every opportunity I had. With last week's launch of the Lancer Bundle pre-order, I asked my guy at NECA if he had any info about the "Headshot" Locust. He told me to expect an announcement shortly, and he was right. Today, NECA broke the news Amazon.com would be the exclusive retailer for the action figure."

Don't like GeoW but this is awesome! Very nice model idea, a bit gory and violent, but awesome nonetheless.

GameOn5728d ago

How can you not like Gears but like theis when this is why gears is awesome.

Just asking a question here. No fanboyism involved.

NO_PUDding5728d ago (Edited 5728d ago )

Well, no I agree there's no 'fanboyism' involved.

I like it becuase it's a clever idea for a model. The game for me doesn't feel very responsive, and the whole mantra behind it, as well as the game itself, gore and all, doesn't tick a single box for me.

EDIT: As i said in the first comment, it's gory and violent, doesn't mean it's not an awesome piece.No one has thoguht of it before, especially with translucent red filter plastic.

TheDude2dot05728d ago

I don't think there's a reason to not like Gears of War, but there isn't a reason to love it either.

Jok3r5728d ago

Me want! Damn thats cool ^^

Muff1nB4k3r5728d ago

Sweet.

'nuff said.

Though working Lancers (life sized or action-figured) would be sweeter!

XD

xhairs95728d ago

I see lots of toys, but no games.

geda5728d ago

lmao! that's gross. impressive model though.

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart575693d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner0093d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic93d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica93d ago (Edited 93d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

RaidenBlack94d ago

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing94d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic93d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos94d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin94d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris94d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine93d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz94d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.

I'll Be Happy With Anything Gears of War, But Nothing Beats A 1-3 Remaster

Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."

Wyesvin98d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack98d ago

^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series

phoenixwing98d ago (Edited 98d ago )

I would buy it. I sh1t on microsoft alot but their gears of War series I loved. Some great gameplay and if they would keep up the multiplayer I'd play that too.

CrimsonWing6998d ago

1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.

ocelot0798d ago

I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.

When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.

Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.

chicken_in_the_corn98d ago

A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.

Juiceid98d ago

It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!

raWfodog98d ago

Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.

franwex98d ago (Edited 98d ago )

Agreed. The old games are there anyway.

I went back and played them all again in anticipation of Gears 5 with a friend and they hold up really well. In fact, they were more fun than the recent ones in some ways.

neutralgamer199298d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
