Who-wouldn't want a 'splodey-head drone?... Especially when it comes with an interchangeable head and "real-metal" COG Tags.

The toy itself looks great. The detailing is ALMOST as good as a MacFarlane Toys action figure.... almost. However, NECA continues with it's tradition of using what could be considered sub-standard materials to make this toy.

When my action figures arrived, I promptly took one of them out of the box CAREFULLY. Much to my chagrin I found my efforts were in vain, as even though I exercised the utmost caution in removing my action figure, in the plastic packaging were little bits of shiny red plastic. Further investigation revealed these to be pieces of the blood-splatter that used to be the drone's head. Gingerly carried-out inspection revealed that these were indeed broken pieces and not just random shavings/scraps of plastic. I was disappointed.

The COG tags that come with the figure are, themselves, actually pretty sturdy. However, the chain they come with, and the link-rings they used to attach the tags to said chain are sub-standard. I had to work carefully for about 20 minutes with a pair of pliers to fully close the rings so the tags were in no danger of falling from the chain. Be advised that the linking rings are VERY flimsy and cannot take much stress abuse. IF you choose to wear your COG tag necklace that comes with the figure do so carefully!

Other little things that are nice are the removable Boltok pistol he has in his hip holster. Although, be advised, no matter how loose and wiggly the extra clip that is also contained in the holster appears, it DOES NOT remove. It wiggles like it should but DO NOT attempt to remove it. It will break in your hands. Trust me.

As stated before, the toy LOOKS great. It's a wonderful shelf, mantel or coffee table piece. Do, however, be wary of its flimsy construction. The durability of a MacFarlane toy this DOES NOT have, though it comes close to looking as good as one.

This arrived three days after ordering. The packaging was a little shabby, but the "toy" arrived in good condition, still perfect in the plastic container. The detail and quality of the piece is very good, and accurate to the game. I was also surprised to see that the figurine came with additional objects not mentioned in the description. There is a non-splattered head for the locust to wear also. The cog tags are durable metal and good length to wear. Overall I am very satisfied with the purchase, and it makes a funny and great gift to the avid gears player.

My brother recommended this toy to me to give to my boyfriend for Christmas (he is a HUGE Gears of War fan). So I got it...it came quickly, intact and it was just a very smooth, great purchcase. Although I think I am done shopping for Gears of War toys for a while, I would certainly buy from here again. Thanks for helping make my boyfriend happy at Christmas :)

this action figure is very good. nothing was wrong with it. it was exactly what i expected. it's not really a toy, but more of a display of for those hadcore gears fans. what i like the most are the cog tags. they are really authentic, kinda worn torn but still feasible. these cog tags are great to flaunt if your a true gears fan.

I ordered the locust drone and it exceeded my expectations. First of all the detail on the figure was amazing and it was also well articulated. NECA did a great job of incorporating both. Secondly, it came with metal COG tags. A must for a GOW fan...

Only drawback was that the pistol holster came loose, but it can be stuck back together...just didn't get around to doing it as yet.

Overall a great product at a great price!

ok, so i only got this thing for the "real" cog tags. unlike the crappy thin metal ones that will prob breat if u look at them to hard. so in my eyes, i got a free toy for buying some cog tags. any ways, the toy is awsome. the detail alone is insane. it sits in my game room with its head blown off. no if i could only find a cole train with a long shot. the cog tags are actual size (to the way they would be in the game). heavy, but not to heavy. imean come on, its made of gun metal. the chain is the same length as a reg pare of dog tags. i have mine on all the time. and im a 22 yr old who works for the sherrifs dept. a gear head must buy. if not for the toy, then for the cog tags.

this thing is amazing!!!!!!!! the tags are everything i expected they are heavy metal i get complements everywhere i go!!!the figure is amazing also!! and the best thing...i selected the trial membership of amazon prime to get the free 2 day shipping and i got it THE NEXT DAY!!!

I bought this thing for the COGS, and no, I didn't think they were going to be the limited edition COGS like some delusional people. I put this thing in my game room, and it's freaking awesome. Looks nice, arrived in a timely manner, and arrived in condition promised.
Recommend this for anyone who likes Gears of War or for anyone who displays action figures.

Very heavy and sturdy. Amazing detail and of course... the headshot. It does come with a replaceable normal drone head also. The pistol in the holster does come out as well. One of the best figures I have ever seen. Just awesome.
