After teasing the images and announcement across the web earlier this morning, McFarlane Toys is finally sharing details of its latest licensed toy lineup: Call of Duty: World at War. Scheduled to be released this fall – alongside Treyarch's latest take on the venerable franchise and McFarlane's other Activision-enabled lineup, the Guitar Hero figurines – the World at War figures can be described with superlatives like "highly detailed," "game-accurate," and "for sale."

Speaking of for sale, four figures will be available for $10 to $15 including the Marine Infantry soldier (includes M1 Garand rifle and bayonet, pictured above); the Marine Corps soldier (packing the flamethrower, just like in the game); another Marine Corps soldier (with machine gun, pistol & holster); and lastly, the British Special Ops soldier (includes adorable accent).

Who would buy this?

Justin: Jul 3rd 2008; 7:09PM

I would and will buy these. I wonder what scale the will be in (halo or spawn)?

GuardedMarman: Jul 3rd 2008; 7:41PM

I dont have any of Mcfarlane's action figures which ones have better detail and design?

Mr.ESC: Jul 4th 2008; 2:04AM

Spawn and the Dragons have the best design.

If you have a MGS figure from McFarlane consider yourself a lucky bastard.

Where the hell is my COD4 Captain Price figurine??!

Iwa: Jul 3rd 2008; 7:45PM

Maybe they'll make the COD2 Captain Price figurine instead.

Obie: Jul 3rd 2008; 7:48PM

Or a cybernetic Price for COD6: Future Warfare ;)

Justin: Jul 3rd 2008; 7:07PM

I would really like the great Todd to do the entire COD series, if not at least some COD 4!!! McFarlane Toys + Video Game licenses = me with an empty wallet and full shelves :)

I can understand Halo, Spawn, CoD 4 figures, but WWII action figures? Don't we have enough of those?

RoboChamp: Jul 3rd 2008; 7:14PM

I don't usually buy things like these, but for 10$-15$ these look pretty damn good. Wouldn't mind having one.

LordChimp: Jul 3rd 2008; 7:21PM

Same. I never buy things like these but they look really good. I might have to buy them.

uh-oh polio: Jul 3rd 2008; 7:26PM

This generations GI Joes. If it was like life size, and came with working flamethrower, id so buy this.

Obie: Jul 3rd 2008; 7:32PM

When I was 8: green army men + lighter fluid = Good times ( minus burnt eyebrows of course ;)

Cesaria (cesariatic.wordpress.com): Jul 3rd 2008; 7:47PM

Man, this action figure confuses me. What exactly is he angry at and why is he running toward it? Perhaps there will be another action figure that can compliment this one to clear up the confusion.

born2kill: Jul 3rd 2008; 8:13PM

Let me hear your war cry!

Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo): Jul 3rd 2008; 8:19PM

Holy crap. That looks awesome. I'm not one to collect action figures, but I might buy it.

Pajama_Man: Jul 3rd 2008; 9:07PM

I don't think these were "Modeled after the characters..." but rather a rename/rebranding of the upcoming Mcfarlane's Military WWII line.

Mcfarlane and Activision could even go "Modern Warfare" and redecorate their older releases

Is that Arnold Horshack?

lrowe: Jul 3rd 2008; 11:41PM

The detail is amazing.

horngreen: Jul 4th 2008; 12:57AM

You people act like you've never seen molded detail. What the hell is wrong with you? You're actually buying toys based on toys! It's like buying a G.I. Joe doll celebrating G.I. Joe dolls. And yes it is Arnold Horshack!

Jinkin: Jul 4th 2008; 2:45AM

If I paid attention in history class correctly, I believe the answer is "the Japanese".

Faar: Jul 4th 2008; 5:23AM

McFarlane COD4 figures - because only white American men fought in WWII!

Sami: Jul 4th 2008; 6:18AM

Haha! Enjoy your toys, "hardcore" kiddie gamers!
