Assassins Creed 7" Action Figure
From NECA
An assassin's assassin. The hero of Assassin's Creed comes to life as the newest release from NECA's Player Select line of action figures! This supremely detailed Altair figure stands approximately 7-inches tall and includes terrific accessories like a retractable blade, removable swords and daggers, and alternate hands. Bring this video game legend home today! Assassin's Creed is a 3rd-person stealth game developed by Ubisoft Montreal in which the player assumes the role of Desmond Miles, an average bartender who is the last descendant of a long family line of assassins. Desmond has been taken to a facility where he is forced to use the Animus, a machine that traces and recreates the memories of his ancestors during the Third Crusade. Through these memories, the player controls Altaïr (Arabic, 'The Flying One' or 'Flying Eagle'), a member of the Assassin Brotherhood. Altaïr's objective in the game is to slay 9 historical figures propagating the Crusades in the year 1191. (According to Ubisoft developers, all of the main character's targets are historical figures who died or disappeared in 1191, although not necessarily by assassination.)

Altair by NECA
I've never played Assassin's Creed, I wanted this figure because I liked the character design. Compared to other NECA action figures I own, the paint job here is the cleanest, generally I've noticed paint jobs done by NECA are very random in quality. All of the details are excellent, swords, daggers, hidden knives could all be taken from their compartments. Definitely the best quality paint job I've seen from NECA. Here's hoping that the sequel to the game won't have anymore of the glitches I keep reading about.
Detailed, nice figurine
Very well made figurine with great attention to details. All the swords are detachable, the long sword and short sword, you can put those in the hand and Altair will look like he's ready to fight. Throwing knives are too small to be held in the figurine's hands. All the limbs are movable except for the knees which you can only bend a little bit, so it makes a bit difficult to good posture other than just standing up straight or knees bent a little bit (but it wouldn't stand up with knees bent). It would've helped if it came with the stand.
Excellent figure with amazing detail
This figure is just downright awesome. NECA recreated our favorite assassin with amazing detail. This figure is such a good quality for the price that I purchased two, just so one could stay mint. It is important that the figure be given in the appropriate age range! There are a ton of small pieces and the figure simply isn't safe for young ones. The figure is for ages 17+ so don't get it for your five year old.
