Hype continues to build up around Epic's upcoming Gears of War 2.  Along with the recent announcement regarding the Limited Edition content, new images of the Gears of War 2 series action figures have been released by NECA, the National Entertainment Collectibles Association.

Meet the curiously multi-cultural cast again in miniature form, with Delta Squad leader Marcus Fenix, his ever informative friend Domingo Santiago, and the ever-sarcastic techy Damon Baird (he's still got great hair).  They'll be joining Augustus Cole, who was released as a part of Series 1.

Marcus Fenix is angry!  Grr!

The familiar face of 2nd player running at you every time you're down for the count.

He's the cute one, with anger management issues.

On their tails are the Theron Guard and Theron Sentinels, two trademark enemies of the Locust Horde hell-bent on obliterating humanity.  Add these to the Series 1 Locust Drone and Sniper, and you've got quite the little bloodthirsty army.

You'll hear a "dink" followed by a "BOOM"!

We're not sure how they can see, but somehow they always manage to hit their mark.

The new Fenix doll -- excuse me, I meant action figure -- also features added articulation, and the weapons each figure holds are game-accurate, making them the coolest accessories you will ever get with a toy.  These Series 2 action figures will be available this fall and are an excellent addition to the Series 1 figures already on shelves.

Gears of War 2 is schedule for release on November 7, meaning there's still a little over two months to wait through.
