Whoah, I totally confused Omega with Sigma!  How in the world did that happen??!?!  The side of the box talked about Lamb sending Omega against Delta as her final attack... which, since I was thinking of Minerva Den's Sigma, really had me scratching my head.


Haha! That is funny. I went through a similar confusing line of thinking before a few days before I read your post.


I was kind of bored earlier in the week and happened to be passing a Toy's R Us, so I pulled in just to browse their Bioshock stuff. They had a ton of the Splicer mask + Little Sister + Omega sets. Took me a while to dig through and find one without a broken mask, but when I did I broke down and bought it. The cashier saying, "Oooh man! That is so sweet looking!" as he looked at the splicer mask reassured me I had made the right choice. So yeah, I bought one. At $20 it was hard not to. They had a Lady Smith Splicer figure there too for $7, which seemed like such a good deal I almost jumped at it, then realized she isn't something I want to have to look at, which kind of defeats the purpose when you're talking about something that's solely intended to be a decoration.


With the Omega/Sigma thing. It has been so long since I played any BS2, I forgot who both of those guys were. I though he was just one of the other random Alpha series Big Daddies you run across in the game. It wasn't until I got it home and read the side of the box that after a few minutes of feeling a bit puzzled I remembered what happened to Augustus Sinclair at the end of the game. That actually made me more fond of the figure (which is much, much, much cooler than I expected him to be. Not a big fan of the Alpha series, but it is a really well made figure. I like his coloring much better than Delta's... though it is still hard not to wish he had a drill). It is funny you (Xhonzi) thought he was Sigma from Minerva's Den, because after realizing he was Sinclair I spent a few moments wishing he was Subject Sigma (if you remember I was a pretty big fan of the Minerva's Den DLC).
