Nice Gaming-Related Desk Figure: Does it exist?

Kind of scoured the 'nets on this one so turning to GAF: Looking for a neat gaming-related desk figure. Nothing from uber-popular franchises (Mario, Zelda, GoW). My idea would be like something from Rez or Ico but I know that doesn't exist. So are there any nice desk figures not from the super-big franchises? I saw some MGS ones that are nice but they just look like big GI Joes so not quite what I'm looking for.

There were SOTC trading figures a few years back. I've got one of them.

There's an Ikaruga model out that's pretty nice. I think it's small enough to be displayed on a desk, think it's about $50.

Somewhat classy. Came with the Limited Edition of Bioshock so I'm not sure how easy it would be to find.
Apparently very hard since there were alot of complaints about them breaking.

The broken ones were from a freight that apparently fell so some broke and most were just the tips of the drill. Irrational offered free replacements for the affected ones so I got two. They're nice.

But yea, very rare cuz the LE was in short supply and Gamestop presoldout them.

I was thinking about this and maybe you want something whose presence would be pronounced but "video games" would not be the first thought it invoked to a none gamer
...and you were ok with committing small crimes like theft to obtain such a piece

Would have to go through eba or another source to get these now but they fit what you're looking for.

The first two with Valus and Avion look wonderful.

I've seen Professor Layton ones, not sure if that fits the bill.
The Layton revoltech is great, I have one on my desk at home but it probably doesn't fit the bill because of the joints (they're discreet but visible).

Why are their no BF or COD statues?

There's this:



I wouldn't put it on my desk though.

Just bought this guy today actually. Had to step foot into a Gamestop to get 'im. *shudder*
These figures caught my eye while at Gamestop. They looked alright from far away, but after picking it up and looking at it, they looked pretty terrible and messy up close.

thanks everyone especially for the boob and butt ones. but do keep the non boobs ones coming too if there's anything neat that hasn't been posted.

i tried searching for more vintage figurines on ebay but no dice really; guess tchotchkes were a lot rarer back in the day

diggin these the most so far, any idea where they can be got? i'm a fan of stuff that's a little harder to find and out of the mainstream a bit but if it's nowhere hmmm
