Release Date For Resident Evil 5? No, Better!

I don't know why you're still looking to find out about the release date for Resident Evil 5, because there's something even better out there. Oh, yeah, just as a side note - Resident Evil 5 is already available! Anyway, today we'll only mention briefly that part, because some great Resident Evil 5 figures are out there, waiting for you...

...and if you don't like what you see in the image above, then you surely need to see a doctor, or - even better - start playing Solitaire, and leave serious games to serious gamers. All right?

Just to get rid of that part, remember that the release date for Resident Evil 5 is behind us already, since the Capcom survival horror third-person shooter was released on March 5, 2009 in Japan and on March 13, 2009 in Europe and North America for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It quickly became the best seller of the franchise in the UK, and got a lot of positive reviews from gamers and the press.

Good, now collectibles started appearing, with Hot Toys from Hong Kong coming up with Chris and Sheva as 1/6 scale figures that feature an impressive amount of detail. This is the good part, but the bad part is that, apart from a bunch of pictures that appeared in a Hong Kong magazine and all over the Web, there's no official release from Hot Toys, so pricing and availability info should become available...someday.
