They are a bit fugly. They could have been better, but also note that several of the sculpts are from the Actionclix line and this is the main reason they are 'backwards' on the bases.

I am odd. I always liked the rookie guy from GoW 2 that got eaten basically by those bug things... the one you knew would die simply because he never took his helmet off? I think Carmine was his name? I always thought it was weird to be in this war with all kinds of crazy tech, gasses, acids, etc... yet a majority of the cast never wear a helmet or face protection.

That might be cool, but how would the handle Shepard? Since he can be any class and carry just about any weapon?

Okay, I would nerdgasm over Mass Effect clix too, just like I am for Halo. But the best way to do Shepard would be a mixed bag of powers. Give him some RCE, TK, BCF, and defensive powers sprinkled thru his/her dial. Shepard is also one of those characters that could get we could get multiple versions of, like Master Chief.

I was thinking just simply multiple versions... and also add in some sort of Renegade/Paragon tactic or ability. The only other issue would also be making male and female versions and the fact that you can change the facial construction as well... but I could simply see them just sticking with the image most people know Shepard to be.

There is a Carmine in all three games, and in the first two (at least) they both die in some horrible fashion. In the first one, they actually explained why the COGs don't wear helmets. The standard issue helmets are too constrictive on movement and vision, and Carmine found out the hard way that this made it hard for him to see a sniper before it was too late.

I think multiple dials is the best way, but I wouldn't be surprised to see only the default male sculpt and maybe the default female sculpt as an LE. This is basically what they did with Noble Six for the Halo Actionclix: They went with the default look, even though he can look a lot different once you've played the game for awhile. I think some of the different dials would show the different classes you can play as, and would put different weapons as powers and abilities throughout the dial.

I have such a bad memory of GoW... I am looking forward to the 3rd game, and I still have the first 2, but I only played through each one once. Perhaps I should replay them.

As for Halo... Noble six is actually my fav. character from the franchise. Kind of odd since they left him as even more of a blank slate. It would be neat if they could devise some sort of customization feature like posts/holes in the figs were you could swap in-out different armor pieces, helmets, etc...

I would like that simply from a figure, collector standpoint...

You mean sort of like Shadowrun? :P

Are we talking awesome 1994 Sega Genesis RPG? Or lame Xbox/Windows FPS from 2007 Shadowrun?

We're talking about the Wizkids made customizable action figure game, actually called Shadowrun Duels.

Never heard of it. But if the switching parts thing existed... they could bring it back.

The only people that know about it are the ones that find old stock on clearance.

Man, really, can we get off of 'power gamers' and 'min/maxers' like some sort of evil cadre?

How about "At least all players have more good pieces in the toolbox."
