As part of Hot Toys’ Video Game Masterpiece Series, here are some early photos of the Assassin’s Creed II action figure.

Ezio’s infamous blades!

I’m afraid that this type of costume might not translate too well in 12-inch figures. But, all I can say is WOW! Even more impressive is that this is Hot Toys’ first Renaissance Era action figure.

Price hasn’t been set yet, but based on their other figures, I’m guessing at least $175.

Release date: End of Q3, 2010
