Vanquish (Limited Edition)

Seven inches of Sam Gideon in ARS-suited glory. The Vanquish Limited Edition for Xbox 360 comes with a 7-inch figurine of the game's protagonist, and for a title built entirely around looking impossibly cool while sliding on your knees at Mach speed, having a physical figure to display is the logical endpoint.

This edition was available exclusively through Zavvi.com, which means the distribution window was tight and the audience was specific. Zavvi exclusives from the 360 era have a way of quietly becoming hard to find, especially when the included physical item has genuine display value. A seven-inch figure isn't a trinket you toss in a drawer. It's a centerpiece.

Vanquish remains one of PlatinumGames' finest, a third-person shooter that made everything else in the genre feel sluggish by comparison. The Limited Edition gives collectors something tangible to represent that legacy beyond a disc in a case. Between this figurine bundle, the SteelBook, and the lenticular edition, Vanquish has one of the more interesting variant spreads in the 360 library. But the Zavvi-exclusive Limited Edition with the figure is the crown jewel. If you spot one complete and in good condition, you already know what to do.
