Also why are NECA's Gears of War figures shown there next to their sample thingy, just for comparison I guess? Either way I would've way rather seen this license go back to NECA as they've easily been making better figures than McFarlane has for a long time now.

It's because the images are from a booth at UK Toy Fair from the distributor(Star Images, they were probably distributing the NECA GOW figures previously and probably just wanted to show a comparison.

I guess this is McFarlane's answer to Hasbro's Black Series and Funko's Legacy Collection. I really hope range of motion is better on these than previous offerings. There is no doubt that McFarlane still makes great sculpts but even if their figures have full articulation, their range of motion is usually hindered. I was somewhat excited when they acquired the Assassin's Creed license, because I knew their roster would surely surpass NECA(who only made Altair and Ezio) by far, but cautiously excited because I figured their legs would barely move.

And I was right. I would love to see a line of Assassin's Creed figures sculpted very well and with high range of motion/useful articulation. However, that day has sadly yet to come. In Assassin's Creed you play assassins that are skilled at parkour and do much more than stand immobile. So to make figures that are largely static from the waist down(yes I know there is leg articulation but what use is a knee joint if the hips barely move?), is underwhelming given the series.

I remain cautiously excited for the Commander Sheppard figure, with the same concerns mentioned above.
