Consume. Destroy. Become.

And then put the figure on your shelf. The Prototype Collector's Edition on Xbox 360 pairs the standard game with a 7-inch Alex Mercer NECA figurine that captures the franchise's antihero in all his hoodie-and-biomass glory. NECA built their reputation on quality licensed figures, and the Alex Mercer sculpt delivers the kind of detail and presence that makes it hold up alongside their standalone retail releases.

Prototype gave us a Manhattan sandbox where the power fantasy was the point, no moral hand-wringing, just pure shapeshifting destruction through a viral apocalypse. The game carved its own niche during the summer of 2009, going head-to-head with inFAMOUS in a rivalry that defined open-world action for that entire year. The NECA figure is the centerpiece here, standing tall enough to anchor a display and detailed enough to satisfy collectors who know the difference between a pack-in toy and a proper figurine.

For 360 collectors, the Prototype Collector's Edition is a clean, focused package. One game, one figure, no filler. Sometimes that restraint is exactly what makes an edition worth tracking down.
