Gears of War 3 Anya

Here's another Neca review and I actually like this figure.   I picked up Anya for around twelve or thirteen dollars and I'm not disappointed.  I was at first when I opened up the box and saw her hair, but after opening her up I saw the hair sculpt was actually separate from the head and all it needed was a good little push.  Unfortunately Anya suffers from what I call "Females cheaper than males toys - itis..."   Yeah doesn't make too much sense but that this means is the Anya figure is much cheaper than the other Gears of War figures.   No Marcus or Dom are going to be decorating my shelf slicing baddies with their Lancers.    Not for the price they're currently demanding anyways.   

 The face sculpt shown on the back looks really good.  Too bad prototype face sculpts almost always look better than the mass produced toy.  

 Her armor detail is amazing!   Unfortunately I didn't get to finish GOW 3 b/c I don't own an Xbox 360, but Anya kicks ass is Horde mode!

 Whoever thought of this weapon was a genius. 

 Unfortunately my Anya doesn't hold the Lancer very well.  Her right shoulder is very loose so she can't do many poses with it.

 The two good Neca figures I saved.   And they were pretty much the same price.     They currently share a spot on my desk together. 

 The best pose I can get out of Anya with the Lancer.  I heard the guys have an even harder time doing this. 

PARENTS:   Get your child another toy because this one is meant to be posed and not played with.   There's also the blood splatter on the chainsaw part of the Lancer so it's not too kid friendly.   Actually shame on you if you let your children and young teens play this game.      I don't really care for their whining about school and hardships at home.  

COLLECTORS:  I say get her while she's cheap.  I cannot find the guys for less than $25 so I'm a little put off by that.   If you are a Gears of War fan I say don't pass on her for too long especially since she is the only female figure so far.
