Well iv been writing mostly comic book quickies for what seems like ages now so lets try some thing a bit different.
I quite like gears of war. Its gid. Brown shooter extraordinaire that it is. I like it. The first yins probably why I bought my 360. If gears didn't exist I would have still got a 360 its just that gears one was the first next gen game that I saw that I just had to play. I'm pretty sure that's true. It dosent sound like lies at any rate. Anyway back in the day gears of war was the bomb. SIX YEARS AGO!!! how the funk did that happen ? That was a different age now long since past into myth and legend. It was a very yellow year wasn't it ? We can agree on that ?
Gears of war though. Its gid. Its your go to guy for chest high walls and brown-ness. Nothing wrong with that. That dosent have to be the formula for every game but its nice to have a dedicated guy for it kicking aboot. Now that's ware this chunky fridge man comes from, gears 3 to be specific. Yup its a toy of main character Marcus Fenix the shouty red ranger that he is.
I mainly got this handsome fellow because gears 3 was gid. Damn gid. Like surprisingly gid. It was mainly the less Nazi-ish world that drew me in and if I'm honest the game also lets you pilot mini mecha. You may not have picked up on this in the past but I am slightly partial to a wee bit of mecha.
Dude looks pretty funky in my option totally rocking the sleeveless summer gears outfit. Its summer time in gears 3. I like that. You could say that he has an awfully dull finish to him almost like he's had a dip in games workshops magic mud but that's totally in line with the feel and tone of the games. I feel I should also mention his trousers. MAN there awesome, just so detailed and they feel just so dame fine .... I may have said too much.
Articulation
Well this lad can move. A lot. Sort of. He's got a lot of joints and all that and its not like he's all that restricted its just that he's not very dynamic. Now that's not a bad thing its just that he's INCREDIBLY neutral. He just stands there. With his arms. And his legs. And his FACE. His not giving a crap face . I quite like this. See some times you get toys that are too committed to one pose. Not this guy though. No sir. Now the face on the other hand I don't quite dig, I would have liked it to have more grrrrrr to it. A More of a angry I'm going to kill you type of face would have off set the neutral body quite well. The joints in his legs allow him to fully sit down. THIS BLEW ME AWAY WHEN I FIRST SAW IT. Now he can be posed so that he's daintily dipping his toes in the pool !!!
Accessory's
He has a gun ! A retro lancer. Which to me is just sort of bllleehhhhh. I kinda thought he'd come with the proper lancer what with him being the main character and all. Nothing against the retro lancer but the proper chainsaw one is the thing most people remember most about these games. It kinda makes a gear a gear. Now he cant hold it all that well. Well he can hold it in BOTH hands but its kind of a stretch and when combined with his neutral-ness it dosent look all that fabulous. He can wield It one handed but its a bit wobbly. And that's just silly. But no worrys ! He can store it on his back and that looks GLORIOUS !!!
So a pretty solid toy likes.
