HA HA! Those are pretty damn neat. They actually look really high quality as well. I love me some gaming action figures to hang on my wall.

Liara? Wouldn't you rather have Benezia?

Benezia? Great point. Why hook up with a hot chick when you could nail her dead mother instead?

You and me should go clubbing sometime.

No one said she had to be dead.

Also, you forgot a spoiler tag on that (though, really, who doesn't know that already?)

LOL I swear her death was the corniest moment in the game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuTdAaHE64s "No light. The always said there would be. Ah--"

Everything about Benezia was corny. Marina Sirtis is not a good voice actor.

And while we're on the subject of corny parts of Mass Effect, how effing ridiculous was the animation for that over-the-shoulder carry at the spawning pool on Virmire? And why was Ashley/Kaidan the only person with her/his facemask down when carrying the bomb out out of the ship?

"...who everyone knows is vaguely Asian and female," is absolutely hilarious because that is exactly what my Shepard looks like.

Same here, albeit dark-skinned and red-headed. I'd give her an ethnicity of "IN SPACE!"

Amy Shepard has bug eyes when you look at her from the side and to the back, but at least that way her eyelashes don't clip through her forehead during dialog scenes.

I made a number of Shepards but unfortunately the pre-generated one shown here is the only one that wasn't stuck so far in the Uncanny Valley that I was slightly nauseated. Hopefully this feature is more robust in ME2 (they did improve it a bit for DA:O but not enough).

I bought 17 Batman figures in three months last year. My man child rejoices.

As for Avatar figs: seriously? Those things are ass-ugly and don't fit a single scale. Enjoyed the movie, but I would never purchase any of those figs. Waiting for McFarlane to do a creature line.

Why can't we see through Tali's helmet? They could've at least painted on the vague outline of her face like you see in-game. Completely obscuring the face is no fun!

DC Direct has slipped, they used to be an awesome figure company but they've just been out done by Neca figures. I play as "Default official Box Art Shepard" and that figure is a poor likeness of Shepards design....I mean, it's OK but I'm convinced that a company like Neca could have done SO much better.

Yeah i wouldnt be so hasty, lots of prototypes look shitty. In 2008 when the prototype previews for the next years Star Wars line came out, they looked like absolute shit and completely different from the final product. Given that these don't even have license approval yet, I'm sure they'll be improved. Not to mention it looks about a dozen times better than the Gorilla Man Shepard statue Bioware released themselves

So when the virtual orgasmic rape nonsense was all the rage and in the news regarding the 1st game, and easy (and valid) response by the gaming community was something along the lines of 'hey, it's rated M, why would any child be playing it? Where are the parents?' etc. Not to mention that they weren't accurately portraying the sex in the game anyway, but that's beside the point.

So here it's another M rated game with adult themes, and I'm wondering if we're blurring the line now, enticing children with toys, luring them ever closer to alien side boob, rachni on rachni shenanigans, and whatnot?! I just wish someone would think of the children.

Considering these NECA figures typically sell for ~$17 and aren't sold in Toysrus, Walmart, or Target, I don't see many kids picking these up. I usually have to order online or schlep to Hot Topic and Spencers and pray the decent ones are still in stock.

Yeah, I guess I should wait and see...but DC Direct still isn't as good as they used to be. I'm a collector (mostly game related figures now) and was excited to see that Ratchet and Clank figures were coming out...but the finale product left a LOT to be desired. The molds were ok but the paint aps were just sloppy and amateurish. DC Direct stuff also tends to be a bit over priced.

Like I said, I still wish ME rights went to Neca. The Gears, Dead Space, Resident Evil, Castlevania, ect figures are all pretty darn good.
