Big Abe figure

My friend and i love it to make a window shopping in the beautyful city Mannheim (Germany).

There's many Playstation shops.

And in Sandhofen (part of Mannheim) is a big Playstation shop, at the people can games buy or lend.

This shop is very popular because on the shopwindow is a big Abe figure!

The figure is looking great to see



in the next time, i'll go to Mannheim again,
then i take a photo of this shop with this big figure and shows you!

That sounds really cool Alector! I can't wait to see the photo... if there were a shop like that over here I'd be walking past all the time!!!

We don't really have too much in the way of games shops over here... yet alone ones which would have Oddworld!!!

Oddworld seems to be infamous here. I got AO by coincidence, and had LOTs of trouble getting AE. There are a lot gameshops, but no one has Oddworld-promo stuff.

So, looking forward to see your picture.

It's probably just that figure that's on Ebay all the time. Still, a photo would be nice to see.

I'd like to see that picture!
They out to make an Oddworld action figure set. Trouble is it's not really suitable for kids, is it? So it'd be a waste?

I originally thought that it would be the Abe figure that is on eBay (the one that I have!!! :fuzzlesmile

But on reading the post further it sounds more like a larger kind of thing... perhaps something the shop got made up. I heard Oddworld is very popular in Germany... not sure how true this is.

I wonder how much promotional stuff will be released for Oddworld... hopefully lots!!! Then again that mightn't be that good... as it's a pain trying to locate it all and then be able to get the shops to give/sell it to you. When Final Fantasy IX came out the only thing that they had was a shelf hanger thing which I managed to scam from K-mart. But if Munch is the flagship title on the Xbox, then surely Microsoft will make it prelevant in the promotion of the system.

As for other Oddworld merchandise... I'll buy anything that I can get!!!

Be sure to let us know what you find out... as I think a lot of people's parents wouldn't let us not in Germany ring overseas.

My Abe statue is from Germany.
