The Lancer Assault Rifle is the backbone to the COG military and has gone on to become one of the most iconic weapons in the history of viedogames. We had our work cut out for us when trying to recreate this incredibly intricate and absolutely lethal assault rifle. The COG workhorse is cast in high-grade polystone, measures 40 inches in length, weighs 15 pounds, and is fully realized with LED effects. The Lancer is 150% in game accurate to the source material from Gears of War 2 and is one of the most ambitious collectibles available on the market today. Every single bolt, chainsaw tooth, decal, ding, and spec of grease was given careful attention.

To further illustrate the sheer size of this awe inspiring piece of COG ordinance, Erick Sosa art director of TriForce is shown wielding the Lancer Assault Rifle prototype as he preps for combat.

Gearheads buckle up; you are in for one hell of a ride!

Working with a sculpture Chris had masterfully created we knew we were providing Gears of War fans with a truly unique and exciting piece. In creating our first Gears of War collectible we wanted to guarantee Gears fans the highest level of quality and authenticity. We knew we had the quality we were looking for as soon as we saw the fearsome Locust Drone for the first time. As for the authenticity, well lets just say you cant get much more authentic than releasing a design maquette from one of the creative masterminds at Epic Games for the masses to enjoy. In order to keep up with the level of quality that had been laid before us, we knew we had to do something special.

To compliment the raw power of this dynamic sculpt we brought in Jordu Schell, one of the most talented and prolific Hollywood special effects creators the world has ever seen, to paint and bring the vile Locust beast to life. Jordu’s credits in addition to working for TriForce include the feature films Avatar, Aliens vs. Predator Requiem, 300 and many others. Talk about a tag team of Epic proportions, no pun intended!

Quality and authenticity, we get it.
