Dead Cell: Jade Van Helsing

Now…this is definitely a figure I will be adding to my collection.

The story behind the character is this:

Brought to the attention of the United States Government after the end of World War II, the secret society known as “The Prophets” reveal that the forces of the undead are very real and that all will be lost if they do not gain official help. The US Government creates a new splinter faction called “Dead Cell.” Dead Cell members comprise of only the best special ops members across the world and are armed with the latest technology and weaponry to combat the undead. Led by Abigail Van Helsing, the first Dead Cell team comprises of only five members. Today, there are over two hundred members spread across the world.

After years of tumultuous battles with the Ragnaroks, the resistance is beginning to lose hope. With the werewolves, zombies and vampires now banning together to fight as one, the human resistance is outnumbered and out powered. But just when all hope seems to fade, a new band of hunters rise from the ashes of what was once known as Las Vegas.

Jade Van Helsing, the great grand-daughter of the famed Abigail Van Helsing - a blood-line long thought to have been lost - leads the team of hunters from state to state as they crush Ragnarok strongholds to restore the former Dead Cell team...

Despite the fact that I have fallen in serious likey likey with this figure, I am not gonna do the pre-order thing quite yet because Triad Toys has a way of NOT releasing a figure when they say they will.
