Blog Post 28/01/2013 (NECA action figures) - Games

[img]http://media.steampowered.com/steam/news/9825/Demo_and_Pyro_2_mast.jpg[/img] [quote]Hey, Scout superfans! Scout here. Some doll-makin' company called NECA told us they were gonna make action figures based on the best, most popular team member in TF2. Well, I just opened the box they sent us, and not to tell NECA their business, but MAN these two dolls do not look anything like me. Don't get me wrong, logically they GOTTA be ME. Right? I just dunno why they didn't start with my traditional outfit, or at the very least Scuba Scout or Kung Fu Fortress Scout or whatever. I guess they're tryin' the most obscure variants first to whet your appetite for the good ol' Classic version. Still, the way I see it, Chubby Firefighter Scout and for some reason One-Eyed Black Scout are better than no Scout at all. So be sure to hit up your favorite retail establishments (Toys 'R' Us, FYE and Hastings) or online (Amazon and the Valve Store) because these odd-lookin' Scout dolls are gonna sell like odd-lookin' hotcakes. —Scout [/quote] scout post, how interesting

Ugh... something everybody knew I had hope for a second

Wow, they'll be at Toys 'R' Us? That's pretty big.

So we have gotten blog posts from Scout, Soldier, and another I've forgotten at the moment (I think Sniper?) I can't wait for the drunk, ineligible Demo blog post that is covered in what may or may not be urine.

hale and the admin have posted as well. come to think about it, its been a while since they made these kind of posts. lately only hale made posts and that kinda shows how the whole thing is geared towards the stupid hat economy.

Shit you guys are fast

Apart from the action figures, they also added a Mann Co. lanyard to the store. [IMG]http://store.valvesoftware.com/product_images/main_images/ATF007_Main.png[/IMG] [url]http://store.valvesoftware.com/product.php?i=ATF007[/url]

They didn't mention the promo codes that are attatched. That could have been a few extra sales for them, the Portal 2 soundtrack didn't peak in sales until their blogpost about it.

I thought these were limited edition... NECA, you liars.

I don't know which one to buy, since I only can afford one.

now the million dollar question: what is the exclusive in-game content that comes with these?

[QUOTE=meppers;39396959]now the million dollar question: what is the exclusive in-game content that comes with these?[/QUOTE] Currently, it's a [sp]unique quality Brigade Helm for the Pyro, and a unique quality Glengarry Bonnet. It isn't known if these are placeholders for placeholders[/sp], or what.

[QUOTE=Moustacheman;39396900]I thought these were limited edition... NECA, you liars.[/QUOTE] Their site still says limited 10,000 of BLU figures. I've bought two of each figure, in each colour... so I HOPE they're limited!

[QUOTE=thecuntsman;39397002]Their site still says limited 10,000 of BLU figures.

Coming to think of it, the code is probably that "something extra", I hope those hats are placeholders.

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;39396483]Everything is pretty good except Demoman's face. I... Just... [I]What happened[/I][/QUOTE] They must've looked that the hwm face based on that shine

[QUOTE=Manibogi;39397033]Maybe they come with something extra, like the Sniper one?

(I know there always is with a valve real world product, but still, lay out the fakts) 2. Where has it been said WHAT this would be? 3. It better be damn good I tell you.

[QUOTE=DeRosaJ;39396470]Wow, they'll be at Toys 'R' Us? That's pretty big.[/QUOTE] Question is, which ones? If they'll be sold at various Toys 'R' Us all over then I'd head over to the one nearest me and buy both of these.

[QUOTE=UntouchedShadow;39397151]Question is, which ones? If they'll be sold at various Toys 'R' Us all over then I'd head over to the one nearest me and buy both of these.[/QUOTE] They'll be sold at all Toys R Us stores, like all other Neca products. Neca stuff has an aisle all to itself in there. I swear this is like the tenth time I've answered this exact question. Neca isn't a special company and these aren't special figures. They're in Toys R Us stores just like the rest of Neca's licensed video game and movie figures.

I give the TF2 Workshop five days before there are cosmetic sets of Scuba Scout, Kung Fu Fortress Scout, Chubby Firefighter Scout, and One-Eyed Black Scout.

With Spark, Blaholtzen, and Cuntsman already on it, I'd say 2-3 days is more than enough.

This kinda made me think that they were going to start making the scout action figure next but then i kinda re-thought about that when i saw this. [t]http://puu.sh/1UfwB[/t]
