Due to the success of the Gears of War video game, Epic games teamed up with NECA to create a series of highly detailed figures based upon characters and enemies from the series. They released ten series, as well as two series of figures available only at Toys R Us stores. In 2016, McFarlane Toys secured the rights to create future Gears of War figures.
All current Gears of War figures
Box Art[]
The first two series feature just the "Gears of War" graphic along the top of their box art, whereas series three to six feature "Gears of War 2" along the top of their box art. This was due to the fact that when series one was released, Gears of War 2 had not yet hit retail shelves. The "Gears of War 3" graphic appears on figures from series seven to nine with the "Gears of War Judgment" graphic being present on Series ten.
Where to Buy[]
US- Gamestop, Online Retailers, Toys R Us

Gears of War 2[]
Series three was released in March 2008 and features characters from Gears of War 2. Better articulation than previous figures was added to give the figures a more-life like appearance. The two pack is the first released and features Marcus Fenix in a duel with a Locust Drone. Starting with series three the figures use new Gears of War 2 Boxart.

Batsu Figures[]
In Japanese, the symbol "batsu," like the English 'X' is used to show something wrong. Like when you get a strike on Family Feud, that's a batsu. For NECA, it's a whole new way of experiencing some of your favorite characters and lines, and we're starting with the three most popular Gears of War combatants in limited production runs (translation: get 'em while you can).
The highly stylized Batsu versions of Dom, Marcus and The Locust each stand over 5" tall, are poseable at the neck and shoulders and designed with urban vinyl in mind. They also have the Lancer accessory, and you'll know them when you see them because of the window box packaging.
