Gimme NOW: Valve Toys

Toy figurines of Gordon Freeman! The National Entertainment Collectibles Association (NECA) has secured the rights from Valve to create figurines out of Valve’s characters!

The first thing that I thought was, “Buy ALL the figurines!” Unfortunately, my bank balance would not like it if I did that, but don’t stop me from dreaming. The deal between NECA and Valve was announced at last years Comic Con in San Diego; the long wait is almost over as NECA have said that they will be releasing Valve figurines over the course of the 2012 calendar.

Fans can expect figurines of Half Life’s Gordon Freeman; a Team Fortress 2 Heavy and Demo Man; and a Left 4 Dead Boomer and Smoker; to name a few of the many proposed figurines. I wonder if the G-Man will make an appearance as a figurine; if he does, he will probably be released in a location where you can neither touch, shoot, crowbar or purchase him. Figures.

If you are not a fan of Valve figurines (Why?), NECA has alternatives for you; they have planned to release ‘muppet-like’ makeovers and plushes of the Valve characters. I don’t think you could get a muppet or plush that exhumes awesomeness like a Left 4 Dead Boomer would; cuddly intestines and bile is definitely better than a cookie munching monster.


If none of this has excited you by now, then NECA has a few more figurines and surprises up their sleeves. They are creating figurines of Assassin’s Creed’s Ezio; Borderland’s Salvador (Gunzerker), Psycho Bandit and Assassin; in addition to this they are also making life-sized replica’s of the Portal Gun, Ezio’s hidden blade; and BioShock Infinite’s Sky Hook. Don’t be surprised if they don’t work, that is why they are called replica’s.

It is an exciting time in the world of toy figurines, all that must happen now is Valve must announce Half-Life 3. We live in hope.
