Soldier and Heavy TF2 Action Figures Arrive In July


Valve has revealed the next two classes to be given the action figure treatment after the Pyro and the Demoman.

The Soldier and the Heavy will be the next two classes in Valve's popular war-themed hat simulator Team Fortress 2 to be given the action figure treatment. They will join the Pyro and the Demoman when they go on sale in the Amazon [http://store.valvesoftware.com/index.php?g=7].

"We want TF2 toys," came the overwhelming cry from TF2 fans who weren't content with throwing money at digital hats. "We will make TF2 toys," said Valve, announcing a series of gorgeous, intricately detailed TF2 models by gaming heads. [http://www.gamingheads.com/index.php] "We want less expensive TF2 toys!" replied the fans, on seeing the $250 price tags on the gaming heads models. Valve, who only aims to please, then went on to announce a line of cheaper Team Fortress 2 "action figures," from prominent action figure company NECA.

At just $21 and coming bundled with a code for a free hat in the game, who could have been disappointed with the of the Engineer and the Spy [http://store.valvesoftware.com/product.php?i=FTF204], which we can probably assume will be the next two figures after the Soldier and the Heavy.

Valve previously released a baloonicorn plushie [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/123758-Buy-Pyros-Plushie-Get-Team-Fortress-2-Asset], along with a free in-game asset, on its store.

...Steve, stop trying to get me to take out my wallet! I need to save my money dang it!

OT: Hm, didn't even know that there was a TF2 toyline. But as the person above me said, call me when I get to have a Medic one. Although I feel that I must post this at the thought of a new hat:

Why is the Soldier fingering his Rocket Launcher? Why is the mouth of the Rocket Launcher so small that only a finger can fit inside. I'll buy it for the hats but that's some poor quality craftsmanship.

If you look at the soldier's official model [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Soldier] it seems that the rocket launcher is the same size in game anyway

Oh, well there you go. I never noticed how small the mouth of the Rocket Launcher was.

I appreciate that they are adding the hat, but how is it free if it requires a purchase??
Buy a hat and get a free action figure!

I had no idea that Team Fortress 2 figures were being made. This pleases me. But I'll wait and save up for when the whole series is finished. Just so I can get them all and set 'em up like this...



Come on... Don't act like you don't want this sitting on your shelf.
