Prototype Collector's Edition

Few games let you become an unstoppable bioweapon tearing through Manhattan, and even fewer got the collector's treatment to match. The Prototype Collector's Edition on PlayStation 3 pairs Radical Entertainment's brutal open-world action with a 7-inch Alex Mercer NECA figurine that captures the hoodie-wearing shapeshifter in all his menacing glory. " and then handed you an entire city to devour.

Alex Mercer became an instant icon of late-2000s gaming, the kind of anti-hero that thrived in the console wars era when disc-based experiences were pushing boundaries no digital storefront could replicate. That NECA figure is the real draw here. Standing at seven inches with his signature bladed arm and ball-jointed articulation, it's a display piece that commands attention on any shelf.

NECA's build quality from this period holds up remarkably well, and finding one still boxed with the game is the kind of hunt that keeps collectors like us in the hobby. The Prototype CE is one of those PS3-era packages that flew under the radar at launch but has quietly become a worthy addition to any action game collection.
