BioShock action figures on their way
Images of the NECA-made BioShock action figures have recently hit the web and, as you can see, they are pretty awesome.
Despite not being in their final stages, all three characters we’ve seen feature a high level of detail and intricacy. So, one could only except them to be even more highly detailed when they are ready for the market.
There’s no word on when these will actually go at sale or at what price but GamerVision suggests that they will be shown during Comic-Con this week in San Diego.

Exclusive SF4 controllers coming to Comic-Con ‘09
MadCatz and Capcom have recently detailed their intentions to bring a limited number of exclusive Street Fight IV controller to this year’s Comic-Con.
Mad Catz Art Director, Roentgen D. Reyes, commented on the hardware’s artwork:
“When we set out creating the Limited Edition artwork we knew that we had to create an impactful design that was radically different from the previous imagery and color schemes. With that in mind we chose not to concentrate on a group of characters but instead produce something targeted to the fan community. After working through a number of designs, we focused on one of the strongest ‘fan-favorite’ characters in the game, Sagat. The character is renowned for his large scar which game legend tells us was caused by archrival Ryu. In my mind, playing Street Fighter® IV evokes the player’s competitive nature, with rivalry a key element of the experience.”
The exclusive Tournament Edition arcade sticks will go on sale for Comic-Con attendees for $179.99 while the exclusive SF4 controller, pictured after the break, will go on sale at the convention along with on the Mad Catz website for $49.99.
