Trivia

  • Both variants of the Soldier feature what appears to be the Gentle Manne's Service Medal albeit inaccurately colored gray.
  • Strangely, the BLU Engineer figure has his head, forearms and left hand cast in a semi-transparent plastic, usually reserved for NECA's more realistic characters.
  • The box for the Sniper figure claims the Sniper's first name is "Mick"
  • The packaging mostly includes the class portraits from the Main Menu, however, some classes include some notable differences:
    • The Scout holds the Bat in a pose similar to the class selection screen instead of his Scattergun.
    • The Heavy has a different facial expression.
    • The Spy holds the Knife instead of his Revolver, in a different way compared to his Winter-themed portrait.
    • All classes also include a BLU team variant that is never seen on the Main Menu, other than the Soldier from the End of the Line Update.
