What about Richter, Maria, Trevor, Sypha, Grant, Julius, Soma, Werewolf, Minotaur, Slogra, Gabon, etc?

Technically all of their game figures be it God of War, Gears of War, Bioshock, or Deadspace have the player select mark somewhere on the box, but the God of War, Tomb Raider, and Legacy of Kain had the Player Select mark largely planted on the front. Except for Raziel who was such an older toy.


In contrast to lines like Castlevania, Bioshock, Deadspace, or Gears of War (early Gears of War were labeled Player Select but they sold so well to warrant a line on its own) where they do more than just one or two characters and make it a line, where the Player Select mark is hidden on the back with the other company credits. They only did one or two characters for Soul Reaver because it is a rather niche license, even when they made the toy it was kind of niche. This was also old NECA so many of their practices were probably very different than now.

We've trailed quite a bit from talking about the '84 Godzilla toy so this is going to be the last post I make here that isn't about Godzilla.
