Now that the story has been reported at Kotaku and our own Capcom-Unity, we might as well confirm the Nathan Spencer action figure that has been spotted in the wild (we like to think of ourselves as being fashionably late, you see).
The exceptionally detailed figure is made by the good folks at NECA, who make merchandise for a whole host of cool properties, gaming and otherwise (and whose level of enthusiasm for what they do is downright terrifying).
Unfortunately we're not quite ready to tell you any more about this little guy, but you'll be able to get your grubby little mitts on him soon enough. But what we can tell you is that you haven't seen everything in action, and Spencer might have a little trick hidden up his sleeve. Hahaha! Sleeve, geddit? Cause he has a... bionic... you know... arm? Sleeve?
Right, I'll get my coat.

something up his sleeve eh?
up his sleeve you say? OH MAN is, is it that i can also buy nathan's Bionic Mobile or jet pack. Perhaps something else he will never need to use due to the swing factor but for some reason this fact is lost in the action figure world.I gotta ask though how did this all come about? more so was it because people were requesting for a nathan action figure or was this something that was planed long ago?
fashionably late? I woulda figure way to busy.
and i just gotta ask Geriod are you gonna be posting wat a day working at capcom is like for you?
Ben Judd's "loose" interpretation of Gearoid Reidy's day
9AM: Tea and crumpets... (er, "Beer and crumpets")10AM: Thank Ben Judd for being awesome
11AM: Thank Ben Judd for ruling hard core
Noon: Whiskey and crumpets
1PM: Thank Ben Judd for this great job
2PM: Give Ben Judd 100 dollars for his greatness
3PM: Thank the powers that be that he met Ben Judd
4PM: Give Ben Judd a (non-sexual) back massage
5PM: Throw a party for Ben Judd
6PM: Go home and think more about his favorite boss in the world "Ben Judd"
Pretty simple really...
LMFAO..
..LMFAO! XDI know the trick...
Opposable hot-dogsconfirm/deny?
HAHAHAH YA!!!
I would strip my clothes off and run completely naked through the Capcom building while chanting "Go Go Bionic", for this action figure. Also I would cover my entire body in honey, and roll in a pill of live bee's.Still I have a feeling I know one of the things that comes with the special edition of bionic commando next-gen now!!! HUZZHA
(by the way the spell-checker for this website seems to think I'm spelling Capcom wrong.... that's strange)
Where my BCR Boy?
Interesting. Where is the old-school BCR Radd Spencer for us bionic geezers :D? We want to play with dolls too!Out of the woodwork comes a happy swede.
A little while ago I started collecting figurines of some of my favourite anime and videogame characters. This looks like it would be an awesome addition to that collection.I would totally give both Ben Judd and Gearoid a (non-sexual (sorry) ) back massage for this btw.
I hope it won't be a hassle to get ahold of, those NECA guys did have a couple of other figurines that I've seen over at Play-Asia. So if it's distributed through there I'd definetly be able to get it.
Looking forward to the game(s) guys, keep at it.
If only you knew...
Trust me guys, when we reveal more about the NECA tie-up and some of the cooler things we have done, you will scream with joy! Or at least crazy hyakitaki will!Let's make this the year of the commando!
Ben
It all makes sense now!!!
I get it now. Nathan Spencer must be from Hawaii --- why didn't you mention it sooner? With the exception of the military cut, he either has a long, out-of-control Hawaii surfer cut or dreads.Shoots bra, save us from Dakine Imperial army. :D
u get 100$, a back message, and a party? I fail to see how u can have a bad day...EVER
WOW Geariod has a long hard day i can honestly see why he would start it out with booze. Whiskey and crumpets, i like the way you think. It sounds alot like my breakfast, tequila and waffles.
Oh i was also wondering does the action figure have some form of "kung fu grip?"
and maybe i shouldnt ask but you guys tell it like it is so ima ask anyways. Ben when Geariod is massaging your back has he ever mouthed the words "olive juice" to you?
The real story
9AM: Wake at my desk, choke down screams before I remember where I am and what I'm doing here9.01AM: Recommence screams
9.05AM Whiskey
10AM: Correct Ben's English - berilligent, monosyballic and puppethead are NOT words
10.05AM: Under duress, add new words to the Juddictionary
11AM: Slave over a hot podcast
Noon: Lunchtime - slam head on desk for an hour
1PM - 4PM: Whiskey mercifully leaves little memory of this time of day
5PM: Try to take over the world
6PM: Curl into ball under desk and rock back and forth until nightfall brings its sweet darkness
Ok I can't stand it
I need Bionic Commando 2-D version, i've been taking fist full after fist full of pills for the anxiety and my doctor tells me that the sediment build up is going to kill me.If you want I can go to the blood bank and send you a couple pints of my blood if it would help... Otherwise just tell me who or what is holding up the release and I will get as violent as possible destroying everything in my path.
ur day sounds like its chalked full of adventure. Interesting to know you drown out the screaming with whiskey. Oh can u or anybody use berilligent, monosyballic and puppethead in a sentence or perhaps give me a definition? So hows taking over the world coming along?
Oh and someone help Hyakitaki, it sounds like he is gonna turn into "The JUGGERNAUT"
hahahahahahaha..
.."The Juggernaut"! That's some classic crap right there.Just gettn on here every nite and reading some of these posts from some funny @ss individuals here on BC.com makes my day.
Seriously cant wait for that BC:R either Hy! I purchase and play all these "next-gen/current-gen" games and they get old really quick. GTA4-on the shelf, Ninja Gaiden2-on the shelf, MGS4-on the shelf. I absolutely know when I get my hands on.....well, download BCR, I'm takin a couple dayz off from work and appreciating the hell out of this game! Going to preorder BC-3D this weekend...also very eager to take on that.
No doubt that this is the "Year of the Commando"~
BC costume
Its also popular to sell costumes of heros to kids: Batman, spiderman, superman etc. So when are we getting a Spencer? For the kids of course!<_<
>_>
(Im from Europe but the UK board is empty, so Im visiting. And the Geroid breakfirst is pretty much the regular one in Europe, mix with wine or vodka)
Spencer costume and Hyakitaki's blood!
@Lucas --> Trust me... one of the cooler things is coming soon. Matter of fact, soon we are going to turn up the Summer heat and be revealing A LOT of stuff.Hyakitaki --> I talked with my German advisor and he is recommending that we have you express us 8 liters of O positive blood as soon as you can. (Blood! I hope this is not Hyakitaki's blood! -Barry {RE1})
Ok all cool stuff... but what about?
Hey you have tones of cool stuff, but I want to know about the most important part of the game. IRON BOOTS! Do I get to bash people in the face? Is there a cool "Gong" sound when you do (Big Ben style)?Oh and Hyakitaki, I'll take a pint too.
I will, of course, settle for a BC:R style Spencer. He can live amongst my model airplane collection. Who needs 787s, 777s, etc when you can have a Bionic Commando and his buddies?

Cool.......
But not as cool as FREAKING MEGA MAN 9 WITH NES GRAPHICS!!!Sorry I had to get that off my chest, I never thought there could be this much old-school love from any one company. 2008 = 2000 GREAT (I know I am not the first to say this but it is such a clever ryme)
If you had told me 3 years ago about BC, BC:R and MM9 I would have exploded on the spot (Which now that I think about wouldn't be that good). You have to get Keiji Inafune or someone for MM9 on the podcast, PLEASE!!!!!
Oh yea the figure looks very nice too :)
MM9
Hey, dancrane, don't those scans look very shopped? I would love MM9, but I really don't believe this news as of now. Hopefully one of the Capcom guys can set things straight...@griestat
If it is fake (which I refuse to even consider) then it is one of the cruelest gaming related pranks the world has ever seen (I am including a certain EGM street fighter prank)Oh i was wondering which country is asking/begging/demanding/dieing for Bionic Commando and BC Rearmed the most?
*Swingin Great in 08*
I'm feeling....
I have a feeling that this weeks field report is going to announce the release date for rearmed, and frankly I'm windmilling my genitals in a clockwise fashion.@dvincent747
...So will there be a Master-D figure with Real Exploding Head Action™?...LMFAO!That would be a must buy 4 every1 im sure!!
It would be absolutely nuts if the "real exploding head action" was a one time deal!! So you buy the Master-D figure and what do you do? Buy 2 of course! One to keep in the box and the other to charge your friends $10 a head to see the explosion in all its glory. That would be freakn awesome!
MM?
We will get BCR & BC3D this year, and they are releasing a new MM??!*give myself a massage....in a ever-so sexual way*
^^^^^^^^
..OMG!Set Date
Come on now guys u said may,then that was a flop.I can understand it taking a little more time to make sure all is well but please get us our BCR date set at least already.@ Bladewolf
I dunno if it's really in their hands, so I kinda doubt they even know the release date as of now.Any chance of a "Rearmed" variant?
Cause those shades are slick...
