Gaming Heads Announces Valve License – Team Fortress 2 Collectibles Available for Pre-Order

I’ve been waiting for a while for someone to pick up the Valve license. You may not know who Valve is, but they’ve got some of the most popular games out there, including Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead 2.

The first items are available for pre-order – the Heavy from TF2. There’s four versions of the 12-inch statue. Red and Blu, each with a regular and exclusive version that includes an alternate head. At $229.99 for a regular and $244.99 for the exclusive, these might be a little out of my price range no matter how much I love the Valve games.

Gaming Heads is very proud to have signed a license with Valve to produce a range of different collectible lines from Valve’s portfolio of franchises, including Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead 2.

The Valve collection line up will include:

  • 18 inch statues from Half Life 2
  • 12 inch statues from Team Fortress 2
  • 12 inch statues from Left 4 Dead 2
  • Life size props

Gaming Heads will use original game files to ensure an accurate and artistic representation of each collectible.

First Look – Masters of the Universe Classics Tytus – TheFwoosh.com

VeeBee at the Fwoosh has a nice first look at the second over-sized figure in the Masters of the Universe Classics line (Battle Cat was the first). Tytus goes on sale in two weeks, on May 17.

One of the great things about the MOTUC line at this point is that is has been successful enough that the collection is expanding in all sorts of ways. We are seeing MOTU, PoP and NA figures, beasts, and now giants and by this time next year, your MOTUC shelves are going to look very cool and extremely diverse. Tytus is also the first rotocast figure in the line so there are certainly some differences from the standard figures to the big guy.
