You're ready. You're wearing the official Marcus Fenix bandanna. You made sure the sleeves of your red Gears of War licensed t-shirt are rolled up so the world can see the tattoo your friends described as "definitely of Cliffy B." You paid $250 for tickets to E3, another $500 for plane tickets from Detroit, and another $300 per night for the hotel within walking distance of the expo hall. You sat through the first forty minutes of this Microsoft presentation knowing that in time, you will be rewarded. And suddenly the heavens open as Phil Spencer points behind him. It's the Gears of War logo. Your time has come. The tears begin to form in your eyes and you clench the armrests when suddenly, what bursts through the brick wall? It can't be. Not like this.

Yes. Like this. Prepare for your Funko Pop future.
