Larger than life heroes and villains from one of the best rated games of 2009 are captured by DC Unlimited in Dragon Age Series 1, including (left-to-right): Loghain, the games primary human antagonist; Duncan, the Grey Warden-Commander who recruits your PC (playable character) within the game (before he ultimately perishes at the Siege of Ostagar); Genlock, one of the many types of evil Darkspawn that you face throughout the game; and Morrigan, a sexy sorceress who joins your party early in the game.
I received my complete set of these figures today, and couldn't be more pleased with how they turned out. I do wish that companies would stop referring to these items as "action figures" since most of the toys that are released to collectors wouldn't really stand up to very much "action" before they started breaking. That is actually one of the very reasons that I stopped buying stuff from DC Direct some years ago. It seemed like every time that I opened a blister pack and tried to display any of their figures, the damn things would either fail to stand up on their own, or attempting to place accessories into the characters hand (for instance) would result in the appendage coming off or snapping apart right out of the package.
With these figures, it was challenging getting the Genlock's axe and Loghains sword into their hands, but I succeeded without breaking anything. Duncan is supposed to hold the chalice that Grey Warden recruits drink the darkspawn blood out of during their Joining ceremony, but this item doesn't really want to cooperate. A little glue might be necessary here, but again a minor quibble, since the figures look so cool standing on the shelf (which is all that I ask of them).
The hit EA Games/Bioware Dragon Age: Origins, like its parent company counterpart Mass Effect 2, are tons of fun to play, and having stuff like this is really terrific for fans of any age. This series was supposed to follow a four character Mass Effect 2 set, but DC Direct has incessantly delayed releasing that set over and again since last summer, recently rescheduling it for May 2011. If those badly wanted figures finally make their way into my hands [I pre-ordered a set of those, too], they will be equally welcome upon my shelf. By the way, if you like action-adventure, science-fiction or fantasy, play either Mass Effect 2 or Dragon Age: Origins as soon as you can. Dragon Age 2 hits stores in about two weeks!
