Action Figures!

I work in a toy store, and you wouldn't believe some of the crap we get. We get collectable McFarlane-style figures for some of the most insignificant movies and games, and they never sell. So it occurred to me that there's an easily accessable market out there that would be an awesome addition to CoX.

Now, I know there were some CoX HeroClix released awhile back...But how about we get some real figures? Standard 6-inch (Or more for characters like Black Scorpion) vinyl likenesses of the heroes and villains we know and love. I would certainly be happy to shell out some cash to add them to my collection.

And to promote the figures, you could even introduce a virtual toyline in game! Say 1000 Inf at an invention table for a random figure, which can then be placed in your base. Seperate them into differant rarities and you've got something for OCD collectors like me to drool over. For example, Statesman would be a rare figure, and an Arachnos Wolf Spider would be common, but you have no way of knowing what you'll get until you pay the 1000 Inf. Next thing you know you'll have people trading figures and selling them on the market, just like real life collectables.

But I digress. The main point of this is to get CoX figures out in stores, so I can waste my money on vinyl morsels of awesomeness.


The off-beat space pirate...Capt. Stormrider (50+3 Elec/Storm Science Corruptor)
The mysterious Djinn...Emerald Dervish (50+1 DB/DA Magic Stalker)
The psychotic inventor...Dollmaster (50 Bot/FF Tech Mastermind)

Virtue Forever.

Awesome! Put them as statues in the base, please!
I'd be happy to do this. Or perhaps as recipes that only drop while in SG Mode.

I'd happily pay good money for a Ghost Widow figure.

Um....rendered at what scale and in what material?
Because there are some others I'd collect instead.
Er.....nevermind.

Sounds cool. I think I saw some CoX custom figures awhile ago, can't remember where though.

But anyways, Player Select produces alot of video game related figures, and they aren't too shabby quality. *Pokes NCSoft marketing team* Hint...Hint...

That would be so cool. I am so tired of seeing WoW items everywhere, but would love a set of Recluse and his core group and Statesman with his core group. COH/COV figures would be a great way to get new people into the game. By the way I have a full set of American McGee Alice.
