If you appreciated the handiwork of the National Entertainment Collectibles Association on the BioShock 2 props revealed a couple weeks ago, then you'll be pleased to know the company has revealed that additional video game-themed products are in the works. According to a Figures forum post, five franchises will receive replicas by early 2011: BioShock 2, Street Fighter, Gears of War, Dante's Inferno and Dead Space 2. Three other projects were mentioned, but not detailed: Assassin's Creed 2, Splinter Cell: Conviction and Borderlands (which includes an "articulated Claptrap with sound effects").
You can find a full list of the characters that the company will toy-ify on the Figures forum. Most of them are based on the aforementioned franchises' nightmarish enemies -- but hey, if you feel like lining your desk with Necromorphs and Unbaptized Babies, that's your prerogative.

I can't explain why I want the Eve hypo prop so badly. It would just look so eerily cool hanging out on my coffee table at night.

Are Borderlands Figs even going to be relevant in early 2011?
Don't get me wrong, I want a Claptrap action figure... but unless they've got serious DLC plans or a sequel on the way it seems like a huge delay between game release and licensed merch release to me.

I posted on my blog about Borderlands and Splinter Cell action figures (and others) but I didn't knew about Street Fighter or Dead Space: http://actionfiguresbuff-jon.com/neca-to-make-borderlands-and-splinter-cell-action-figures/
By the way, Isaac with a medieval outfit? What's up with that? Isn't he equipped with futuristic engineer space suit in the first game?

The dante's inferno figure I got for preordering the game was pretty damn nice. I'm looking forward to Dead Space and Bioshock figures.
