The 12.5inch (31cm) tall fully articulated Hazmat Trooper figure, due to launch Q3 2014, will feature the character’s signature Helghast light-up red eyes and intricate detailing will closely replicate the powerful armour and weaponry of the iconic Killzone™ character. Retailing at $160, the figure will also come complete with two sets of interchangeable hands for posing with or without StA-5X Arc Cannon weapon, which is also included with four movable pistons. Lauded for its artistic and technological achievements, the Killzone™ series eschews the laser and spacesuit sensibilities of other sci-fi shooters – opting instead for a gritty, realistic look best described as ‘World War II in space’. Its main antagonists, the Helghast, have become gaming icons for their dehumanizing gas masks and ominous red goggles. |
David Evans European Licensing Manager at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe comments, “Our adult video game franchises like Killzone™ have a core following of die-hard fans that are avid collectors of these high quality limited edition pieces. 3A have a strong track record of producing high calibre collectibles that are must-have items for fans of the franchise and the launch of this figure further cements the cult status of the brand.”
Kim Fung Wong, Director of 3A says, “We have long been admirers of the Killzone™ franchise, which has a massive global fanbase and we hope that the announcement of this new Killzone™ figurine will send ripples of excitement through the gaming community.”
