Loved the game! cant wait to see pics of the figs and movie.... Now only if they would make a God of War, Assassins creed and Metal Gear movie...

[MegaPrime33]

I'm always hesitant on movies based on video games. I honestly can't think of one movie that was even that good. Doom, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, even Super Mario Bros. All of them were mediocre or really bad. We'll see if Bruckheimer and Disney can do a better job.

[LUCKYDUBE]

Yup!!! I hear you on that one...Im just a suckah for Movies based on games that I played, just like Movies based on Comics and Cartoons that I read or Watch... I know Movies based on games are going to blow so I just set my expectation low for the Movies so i dont get disappointed...

[MegaPrime33]

I say regardless of how well or not the movie is, here's hoping the toy line will be something special.

Can't wait to see the Dagger of Time image. I don't expect the dagger to be as same as the game, let's see how they interpret it.

I really want to see the playsets. I hope their in scale with MU figs.....hope their figs are built similar to MU and JOES would be great for customs...

[Shin Densetsu]

I think these figures will kick ass

Sounds like the 4" scale figures might be a little bigger than MU and Joes. I'm surprised McFarlane is going that small. I don't believe they've ever done figures in that scale. I'm interested to see the final product.

McFarlane does 3 inch sports figures. Granted, they aren't action figures, but more like small statues.

In my opinion, I think McFarlane is old news. You don't see Dragons, Spawn, Military, or any other kind of collectors' figures besides the sports ones and Halo anymore. Companies like Neca, Diamond Select, Mezco, DC Direct, etc, are the ones to look at for collectors figures right now. Whoever owns PoP should've known that.

I used to be into McFarlane big time. When the first series of Spawn figures were released I couldn't believe how detailed and awesome they looked. I was instantly hooked. I collected the entire series up until about series 8 or 9 and then started to get bored with them. I was crazy about the Movie Maniacs line and have every figure up until the AvP wave. Neca pretty much took over now with regards to horror and cult movie figures, although Mezco does alright too.

McFarlane just hasn't put out anything of interest to me in years. I don't care for their sports, military, dragons, or anything they've been producing. The Halo figures look cool but I don't have any. On top of that, the fact that they laid off most of their sculptors and now use digital scanning to create their figures in kind of a turn off for me. The details almost never translate well that way, especially in the face.

McF is also making 6 inch deluxe figs I'd like to point out, but I'm only interested in the 4 inch ones because they take up less space & the 6 inchers have an "action feature".
