Gears of War fans are most likely already set on the Gears of War 2 Limited Edition of the game. Some hardcore may even be going for the Lancer bundle offered exclusively by Amazon.com. But there's another very cool set of collectibles that the hardcore "Gearheads" can look forward to and proudly display their Gears fandom with. Mindzeye Studios has created a limited run (1000 pieces of each) of cold cast bronze and cold cast platinum Marcus Fenix, Dom Santiago and Boomer statues. Thanks to a distribution deal with Sideshow Collectibles, the Gears of War statues are now available for pre-order.

From the announcement:
“Sideshow has set a new standard in the collectibles market by offering only the highest-quality products. That type of quality control is something that echoes our own business philosophy and work ethic – in addition to speaking volumes about the type of confidence they have in us,” said Pete Jirles, President of Mindzeye Studios™. “We’re thrilled to be working with Sideshow to bring the Gears of War™ statue line to a very knowledgeable, international audience. The consumer confidence that Sideshow has created over the years is a testament to their insistence to bring only the very best to their customers.”

The Gears of War™ statue line produced by Mindzeye Studios™ will be carried by Sideshow Collectibles™ – just weeks before the eagerly awaited video game sequel hits store shelves.

PORTLAND, OR (October 9th, 2008) – Mindzeye Studios™ has announced that it has entered into an agreement with Sideshow Collectibles™ to offer their Gears of War™ statues to a much wider audience.

The highly detailed initial line of statues from the award-winning video game Gears of War™ (GOW) will be available to Sideshow Collectibles™ customers beginning October 9th, 2008. “Mindzeye Studios™ has truly captured GOW in their statues,” said Brant Bridges, Operations Manager at Sideshow Collectibles. “They’re wonderfully faithful to the in-game models, with an incredible amount of detail in each sculpture. The faux-bronze and platinum finishing allows you to see all of the impressive sculpture work in each piece – these are definitively the GOW collectibles to own.”

The Mindzeye Studios™/Sideshow Collectibles™ partnership comes just prior to the Gears of War™ video game sequel hitting the market in early November.

“Sideshow has set a new standard in the collectibles market by offering only the highest-quality products.

The consumer confidence that Sideshow has created over the years is a testament to their insistence to bring only the very best to their customers.”
