DC Direct also manufacturing Dragon Age action figures

by Griffin McElroy on Jan 17th 2010 11:30AM

According to Previews' February order form, Mass Effect isn't the only BioWare property getting the action figure treatment from toy manufacturer DC Direct. Located on the form are four listings for statuette'd Dragon Age: Origins characters, including Morrigan, Loghain, Duncan and, everyone's favorite troublemaker, Genlock. No price is listed for these figures, but a release date of September 29 is mentioned.

Though we know it's not technically feasible, we're still a little disappointed that we can't get a figure made of our customizable protagonist. We're pretty sure DC Direct wouldn't know to make him look like Ernest Borgnine, but with a horrifically long chin. Nor would they know to call the figurine by his Christian name, Borgnine Mountainjaw.

I loved the game but the characters in Dragon Age couldn't be any more generic fantasy.

You really think that Morrigan was generic? Come on..

yeah that human hating lady golem is in EVERYTHING!

I'm with Fox, here. Yahtzee made the same point, but eloquently!

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1096-Dragon-Age-Origins

Yahtzee also complained about Torchlight because of having to click to do things.

He is a comedian not a reviewer.

i liked Olde Timey Carth and Olde Timey Kreia the most

Old timey kreia? Wynne was nothing like Kreia. Wynne was a helpful concerned wise old gramma, while Kreia was a creepy blind soothsayer trying to manipulate you.

Yahtzee's humor isn't that great either. It's the definition of "quit gettin' mad about video games." I'm not sure what people find so hilarious about someone getting super spergy about games, but whatever.

Why no Alistair?

Because no one likes him?

I do!

@Blank-Mage (Mahou Shounen Lyrical Blank)
I must down-rank you immediately! Alistair is teh awesome.

I haven't played much of this game, but from what Alistair told me he seems to be an important character, and he's with you even before you meet Morrigan.

Is he really not that special?

he just doesn't look cool enough to be an action figure

Alistair is special hes the secondary main character (If you didnt exist, Alistair would be the main character).

It is feasible to have custom characters made, just not for $15. Harmonix has been offering custom figures of your Rock Band avatar for awhile now.

Lady of the Forest...MMmmMMmm

Mmmmmm.

Oh you guys

I would rather take a Desire Demon or this thing = http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonage/images/4/40/Broodmother.jpg

@Katana

Brood Mother is a given...but between Lady and Desire? Lady all day.

A company has been offering WoW figures of your character, 3D printed, it is technically feasible but not cheap.

I want an Ogre.

Also "Borgnine Mountainjaw." immediately made me think of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDeawqKzEVM&feature=player_embedded/]Dragon%20Age%20Spoof%20DLC

Dragon Age action figures? Watch out ladies.

Did anyone else think Alister was a whiny version of Aragorn?

"Ooooh, I don't wanna be king! Why doesn't anyone love me?!"

That pissed me off slightly. He has a chance to be king of all the lands and he whines. I almost wanted to choose the option so he gets executed

Guys, please, here on Joystiq we don't spoil plot details for other people.

He tells you he's meant to be king about 2 hours into the game. I doubt its a spoiler

Why do you even write about games you obviously didn't play? "Glenlock" isn't the first name of "everyone's favourite troublemaker". It's just a kind of Darkspawn. There are many glenlocks, not one "Glenlock"

Well first off, they're called Genlocks and secondly, you're an idiot shut up.

Why do you write about writers you don't even know? Griffin talked about how he's played Dragon Age for a good 40 hours on the podcast, plenty of time to encounter "Genlocks". Asshole

nobody cares

wow i can put a plastic character from Badgame: Origins on my shelves next to the action figures of GOOD games!!!!2 wwowweeeee!!!!

Why on Earth were you ever granted Planeteer status?

Just get banned...please

Where's Cap, anyway? We demand you take responsibility for this guy!

hey guys I'm a planeteer too!

You have to be made a planeteer you can't just decide to be one!

Hey, did you know, and this might sound CRAZY, but you can actually change your name to whatever you want without another poster's permission! AMAZING!!!!

Yeah but abusing said power like so makes you a dick.

I am so sorry i abused a "power" that is a regular feature so I could infiltrate your dumb meaningless clique. please accept my non-apologies

Dragon Age characters now rendered from the same material their personalities are!

Brilliant, deep wells of character and information? Or were you just trying to troll?

Or maybe the fact your yet another generic account of filthy, deadman ect.

who's deadman

And hes comment gets deleted so i look like an ass...Bravo Joystiq...bravo

It was me, I know what I said. who's deadman tho?

[edited]

Nice! Here's hoping the next series is Ogre, Sten, Alistair, Zevran. I freely admit I'd buy them all.
