The McFarlane Toys Borderlands toy line has gotten a pretty good start, with a nice selection of initial characters.Right now they have Handsome Jack, Tiny Tina and Claptrap, and Zer0. They have updated their Zer0 product page with some new images of the figure. The figure will stand 7″ tall with 12+ points of articulation. It will include a “0” hologram, Infinity Gun, an Energy Sword and a figure stand. Zer0 is due out in February 2018 at a price of $19.99. Check out official details below and all of the new images after the jump.
Shrouded in mystery, Zer0 is an assassin-for-hire whose identity and origin are unknown. Left unsatisfied after a previous target failed to fight back, Zer0 turned to Vault hunting in search of a worthy challenge.
- Highly detailed sculpt of Zer0 modeled from in-game assets
- Figure includes a code for exclusive downloadable in-game content
- Figures comes with Infinity Gun and Energy Sword
- Includes iconic “0” Hologram
- Figure is featured in outfit worn by Zer0 in Borderlands 2
- Designed with 12+ points of articulation for dynamic posing
Borderlands 7-Inch Figures by McFarlane - Pre-Orders Now Live
I'll be picking these ones up
Huge Borderlands fan!
I might get Handsome Jack, it depends on how well the final product turns out and what else is out at the same time.
I don't know what Borderlands is, but these look swell.
I guess NECA will never release that Zer0 now :/.
I started playing again for the first time in years. The game really holds up. However, I hate Handsome Jack, and Tina, to a lesser extent. Hopefully we get the Vault Hunters. Right now I'm seeing McFarlane making the same boneheaded mistake NECA did when they acquired the license. Who wants these over the player characters?
Thanks for the explanation. Yeah, I remember seeing the NECA offerings & aesthetically wasn't blown away, at least not enough to warrant buying figures from something I didn't know anything about.
As far as games go, anything that I have to play with other people on is an instant no-go for me.
I've solo'd BL2 both times that I've played it. The run I'm on currently is solo. It's 100% doable. The story is 2 is really good, much better than the low-brow(but great) humor would make you think. The game is also challenging. It's not for tourists like Skyrim or other games that hold your hand. If that sounds cool, then try it. It's cheap, no matter what console you get it on.
I'm not surprised that McFarlane isn't even indicating they'll do vault hunters, besides the overwhelming popularity of characters like Claptrap and Tina in comparison apparently when NECA had their Zero and Salvador prototypes at conventions retailers showed no interest. It probably doesn't help matters that since there are multiple playable characters you are going to be dealing with split audiences, again this is where Tina and Jack will come out on top because no matter who someone plays as they will be forced to interact with these characters.
As far as games go, anything that I have to play with other people on is an instant no-go for me.
Anyway, would be nice to see some of the main characters come to this line!
Interesting, I do hope they do vault hunters but I'll definitely grab Tina, McFarlane did an excellent job with her.
So for the life of me I can't spot the 12 points of articulation on Tiny Tina?
I also hope for a good Articulation on the Figures.
Not just Arm up and down.
So i hope the 12 Points are distributed well on the Figures!
Tiny Tina looks very cute. I also hope for a Gage or Maya Figure.
I was so sad when Neca cancelled their Figures Years ago.
I always wanted a Handsome Jack Figure, so i really hope he is well
articulated with the 12 Points on his Body.
Can someone tell me what to expect with 12 Points of Articulation??
I just saw a MCFarlane Mass Effect Scott Ryder Preview Video.
Looks very good so far.
How many Articulation Points does the Mass Effects Figures have?

They look good on their stands displayed with the others, so worth picking up!
Due to the earlier figures in the series I regretted starting collecting the Color Tops, but if the Ryder and Marcus are anything to go by, these Borderlands ones will be pretty good.

Does this mean:
One Point for each Body Part/ or 1 Point for 1 Joint
So for example
1 Point or Articulation - Left Shoulder Joint
1 Point of Articulation - Right Shoulder Joint
1 Point of Articulation - Left Elbow Joint
1 Point of Articulation - Right Elbow Joint
= So 4 Points of Articulation in Total as an Example, is that correct?
Or does Left AND Right Shoulder Joint TOGETHER count as ONE Point of Articulation?
im a huge Borderlands fan. if these are articulated and they take out Zero, berserker or the Psycho bandit, im buying it for sure but these 2 characters are lame. even clap trap would be awesome...

Each moving joint is assigned a number of its own. For an easy example I'll use something like an old Star Wars toy. It has 5 points of articulation (POA for short) because 5 parts are given some kind of moving joint. In my example we have a swivel at the neck, another for the right shoulder, again for the left shoulder, the right hip, and lastly the left hip. Five points in total. Nothing is added together or counted as equaling one point except for those individual joints.
Being told how many points of articulation something has though isn't very helpful in knowing where or what those points will be, unless it's a part of a long running line with a recurring articulation layout. Unfortunately McFarlane uses no such layout and each figure is set up kind of differently thanks to the figures already sporting varied dynamic poses. So even though it lists 12 POA 6 of that could wind up being useless. Each leg having a swivel thigh, hinged knee, and swivel boot-cut adds up to 6 points (3 per leg) but if those swivel thighs are set in the right (or rather wrong) place then they negate the utility of all of the rest of the leg's articulation and that 6 starts to feel like a 2 or even worse a 0.
that many People are interested in more Borderlands Figures
like the Vault Hunters, Gage, Maya and so on.
Gage + Robot would be awesome!
For those who want more Borderlands Figures from MC Farlane, i suggest to do TWO things:
1) Buy the first Figures Jack and Tina = The more Pre Orders they have, and the more Figures they sell, there is an higher Chance that other Characters will follow.
2) Write to MC Farlane Toys, and ask them for more Figures, like i did. Same here = the more enquiries / Requests they get, the Chance gets high that more Figures will follow.
McFarlane can be contacted on Facebook and with this Email:
customerservice@mcfarlane.com
Thats all!
I also hope for more Figures like Gage, some Psychos, Krieg and so on, and
that Tina and Jack will have well distributed Articulation Points.
