The holiday splurge may have left our wallets begging for mercy, but there’s another tempting offer coming along to bid for your buck. Coming soon to hobby shops and gamer hubs in the UK are deluxe 12″ poseable action figures modeled after the characters of Resident Evil 5.

 

The two that have been confirmed so far are Chris and Wesker, both in their respective S.T.A.R.S. uniforms which will be in real fabric. Both will carry the Bio Hazard 5 logo, three interchangeable posing hands, and a nameplate.

Just like in The Mercenaries, S.T.A.R.S. Wesker comes with his Samurai Edge handgun, and the Hydra shotgun. The figure will also come with two incendiary grenades and the standard combat knife. Being the agile, bullet-dodging freak that Wesker is, his figure gets 36 points of articulation. To top it all off, Wesker’s eyes are battery-operated to glow red to complete the creepy Uroburos effect.

As for S.T.A.R.S. Chris, he comes with the MP5, the S&W 500 Magnum, plus the M9 handgun and the bulky Gatling Gun. Being buff does take out a lot of flexibility, so it’s only 21 points of articulation for the RE5 lead.

 

Both figures will be available on March 30th in the UK, RRP’ed at £159.99 (about US$ 229).

 

On the subject of RE5 toys, Hot Toys released three figures (BSAA Chris and Sheva, and Midnight Wesker) back in May 2009. Those are worth a look as well.
