Not only is the McFarlane Toy company making “Guitar Hero” action figures for the fall. They’ve got “Call of Duty: World At War” figures coming for the fall as well, timed to the release of the Treyarch-developed WWII Pacific Theater game. The company wil debut four figures today and have given us an early look at one of them.
According to the press release, the full set of “highly detailed” and”game-accurate” $10-15 figures will consist of:
-Marine Infantry, Battle of Peleliu - Includes M1 Garand rifle and M1 bayonet
-Marine Corps with Flamethrower, Battle of Peleliu - Includes M2-2 flamethrower with removable flame, and M1911A1 pistol & holster
-Marine Corps with Machine Gun, Battle of Okinawa - Includes M-1928A1 machine gun w/20 round magazine and M1911A1 pistol & holster
-British Special Ops, Battle for the Roer Triangle - Includes Mark II Sten gun
More info will be forthcoming at Spawn.com. First “Guitar Hero” and now “CoD”… any votes for other Activision series the McFarlane company should also turn into toys?
After the jump, check out a full shot of the British Special Ops.

Whoever you are out there, I am better than you at only one form of “Call of Duty.”
You can probably take me in a “Call of Duty 4” deathmatch.
You can probably trounce me in “COD2.”
But on Friday I played the “Call Of Duty: Real-Time Card Game” — one hour before it was announced to the world — and since you, dear reader, did not, that means I have the advantage. For now.
Yes, there is a “Call of Duty” card game in the works. And, yes, it is fun.
I battled fellow Multiplayer blogger Jason Cipriano in it at the New York Comic Con in a match personally overseen by the game’s creator, Upper Deck designer Ben Cichoski. Ben made a good game, was a fun host and is a bit of a tease: he told us the game is partially based on “Call of Duty 5.” You know, the “COD” game that isn’t really announced yet.
So how does a “Call of Duty” card game work?

I wrote up a “Call of Duty 4” interview today that includes such illuminating details as:
1) They almost called the game “Call of Duty: Warnado.”
2) They refuse to render feet in an FPS.
3) Infinity Ward won’t ever make a “CoD” each year.
There’s plenty more, in my GameFile column at MTVNews.com.
