Epic Games has just unveiled this super sweet Retro Lancer Replica from NECA which will be available directly through GameStop. Players can get their hands on this baby by pre-ordering one of the several bundles for Gears of War 3, or they can purchase it standalone for $99.99. For that price I can assume it’s not some small toy, but rather it’s full-size.
The replica will be available a full week before Gears of War 3 releases on September 20th, which is a pretty awesome deal. It was made from 3D data that Epic used to create the weapon in the game, including it’s detail and weathered look. The Retro Lancer measures a full three and a half feet from the butt to the tip of the bayonet, and it even makes machine gun firing sounds. This thing is awesome.
This will be a perfect item for any Gears fan to have, and I know I will be getting mine ASAP. The Retro Lancer was tons of run to use in the beta, and now that we get a life-sized replica makes Epic and the Gears series even more ridiculously sweet. How many of you will want to own one of these babies?
