THE MCFARLANE ACTION FIGURES

The first line of action figures that we could purchase was dedicated to the Kenway family and characters from the beloved Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag. The Assassin’s Creed Series 1 consists of a total of eight figures and was first released in August and October 2013. Each came with a code to unlock exclusive in game gears, weapon or boat sails. Therefore, badges could be unlocked on the Initiates website and each figurine could be added to the owner’s personal collection.


         

          

Series 2 is short on figurines but not on quality! Two new characters and an updated look for one more: three great new figures, all-new characters, outfits and weapons from Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation and the Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag expansion pack, Freedom Cry. Each figures unlocked their respective avatar on Initiates and also added up 20 Uplay points to the user’s account. The set was released in September 2014.



      

Like its predecessors from series 2, each action figure comes in a package with a code to unlock 20 Uplay points and an avatar on the Initiates website. Only the Arno figurine would unlock the exclusive outfit designed by Todd McFarlane in Assassin’s Creed Unity . This time, McFarlane goes and catch up on the earlier characters of the franchise and a new one. The set came out in November 2014.


      

   

Due first to release in April 2015, the series has been pushed to September of the same year. As of now, three figurines have been announced: Shay Patrick Cormac, Arno designed by Todd McFarlane and the Eagle Vision version of Arno. I would suspect that more would be added, at least one more, since Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is set to release later this year. The new game could also mean a new series of figures and the new characters Jacob and Evie Frye could be added to it.


         

   
Assassin’s Creed Series 5 brings collectors new figures, outfits and weapons inspired by the mind of Todd McFarlane and based on the characters from Assassin’s Creed Revelations, Assassin’s Creed III, and the new Assassin’s Creed Syndicate!
Release date: May 2016


         


Jacob Frye comes equipped with a detachable Assassins hood and a variety of hidden weapons, his Cane Sword, two large pistols, and extended/retracted hidden blades. Released in October 2015 as a Gamestop Exclusive.
