Model Kits

Video Games And Model Kits

This generation of video game consoles have proven to be very successful indeed and the games that are on them are even more successful and part of this success is down to the fact that so much more budget is thrown into the making of the games than ever before, many are marketed more than the biggest of films. They are also starting to appeal to more than one audience with things such as model kits even coming with some of the most important games.

As just an example I will be looking into Halo Reach because it is upcoming and huge. Although the game itself is not out until September the beta is already running and if the marketing campaign is going to be anything like the Halo 3 one then millions are going to be spent, you can already pre-order three different versions of the game. The very first is actually just the game. The next edition will consist of the game, in game Elite armour for the use in multiplayer an artefact bag, security badge and a Spartan II patch. The last edition of the game will be known as Legendary and it comes with a huge model of Noble Spartan team along with an in-game Spartan armour unlock.

The great thing about this model is that it will reach out to people that simply collect things. On top of this I have seen things such as Mega Bloks based on video games too which is pretty cool. I have also seen a remote control Warthog (from the halo franchise) so there are already things like RC Nitro cars starting to appear on the market.

So the next thing has surely got to be remote control helicopter based on things like pelicans from the Halo universe so look out for all kinds of models being released around video games.
