It's basically statue porn, if that's the sort of thing you're into. We've included several more pictures of our assembly adventure below. We figure he's going to give the janitorial staff a collective heart attack and our flashlight cops are going to freak out. Suffice to say he's now the centerpiece of our little slice of Beverly Hills. There's really not much more we can say about this sucker. We really have no idea how to read instruction manuals. We weren't very good with Legos either when we were kids. A torso, head, legs, arms, weaponry, base and even bullet shells were laid out for proper assembly, and despite the hassle of trying to get this massive construct properly attached to his stand, we put together our masterpiece in just over 90 minutes. And we really, really wish we were joking about that.Īfter airing things out a bit, we set off to build ourselves a warrior. Imagine a very concentrated spray paint smell and you'll have some sort of an idea. Making matters a bit more complicated, our Task Force 141 soldier was packaged in boxes filled with trimmings and remnants of bra padding, and the odor emanating from from these containers was. YES NOArriving in five massive boxes, Ghost would take some time to assemble. After rummaging through our money hats stealing money from some leprechauns, we dialed up Activision and demanded they have their statue people make us one. something like a life-size statue of Modern Warfare 2's Ghost. Comics EIC Rich has a ton of statues on his desk, but something more was needed for our space. One of our goals was to make our new offices a bit more IGN-esque, and that meant tricking out the place in style. You know how that goes.Įarlier this year, we moved our digs from a crusty old building in Culver City (complete with an elevator that would randomly drop between floors - it was awesome) to something far more modern and shiny in Beverly Hills (we have security guards now!). Collectibles, comic books and accessories are definitely good, but we wanted something.
The Los Angeles-based IGN crew is doing that as well. And perhaps that includes tracking down as much merchandise as possible.
No doubt many gamers are clearing their schedules and taking time off of work to ready themselves for launch day on November 10. This is the last weekend before Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 hits retailers nationwide. You can almost feel the excitement in the air.
