CliffyB loves his chainsaw gun, and his toys

And when sexy bachelor designer CliffyB learned that one of his weapons made the list, he did what any of us would have proudly done: totally geeked out and sent in pictures of his toy collection.
A brief interview with Mr. Bleszinski reveals his favorite items in the collection, the all-importance of combining chainsaws and guns, as well as the undeniable truth that nothing is worthwhile until they've made action figures of it. So true, CliffyB. So true.

Nice! Iron Giant! Too bad it's not the bigger one that I have :)
joevill @ Dec 6th 2007 9:08AM
He is a Transfan! w00t! Fortress Maximus and Brave Maximus are in his collection, that means he is a hardcore Transfan! :-D

The way you say "trans" makes me never able to hear the name "Transformers" the same way again.
You trannie.
jsn @ Dec 6th 2007 9:15AM
the list itself is pretty lame simply because they put He-man and green lantern above lightsabers? Give me a freakin break. Only the kids with downs ran around pretending to have he-mans sword or green lanterns ring, practically every kid has swung an imaginary lightsaber at one point in their life.
Wilson @ Dec 6th 2007 10:21AM
Dude, the lightsaber is cool, but the Green Lantern ring is the ultimate weapon, limited only by the bearer's will power.
But I have to agree with you on He-man's sword.

I have to agree on the sexy bachelor-ness, Scott.

After reading the review, I want the Transformers game CliffyB describes! C'mon CliffyB make it happen!
Rick @ Dec 6th 2007 9:59AM
No link to the list itself? I want to see how the Klobb stacks up against the top weapons!
Not very well you say?
What about the double Klobb?
colin @ Dec 6th 2007 5:39PM
we called that the staple gun
Dirt @ Dec 6th 2007 10:03AM
Chainsaw gun is from Warhammer 40,000... Games Workshop gets screwed every time... Almost all of their characters look like Space Marines, too.
Cliffy should give credit where credit is due. Lame.
maylon @ Dec 6th 2007 11:03AM
Yeah, why is it that Games Workshop is continuously ripped off and never given credit? Even Blizzard steals from them Zerg=Tyranids, and originally the Orcs were nearly identical until they were gayed up in WC 3 as misunderstood shamans. Alot is owed to Games Workshop
FatRabidRamboCow @ Dec 6th 2007 10:05AM
Is that Unicron and Metroplex I see in his collection?
youruglyclone @ Dec 6th 2007 10:04AM
For those who are interested in the list itself.

screw figures...get replica weapons out!
Chris @ Dec 6th 2007 10:28AM
He even has the import THS-02 Optimus Prime from Japan. That is hard core.
My love for Gears just grew three sizes.
LiK @ Dec 6th 2007 10:55AM
haha, sweet collection. i love toys too.

"sexy bachelor designer CliffyB" may I never read that again. (i wonder why he is single?)
T3H WICKERMAN (FDF) @ Dec 6th 2007 11:15AM
I agree too. Might as well made a space marine/imperial guard game. No licensing fees that way. But yeah even though GW are bunch of priceraisng fuckers they do have good properties. (but come on warhammer fantasy rips tolkien to be fair)
Dirt @ Dec 6th 2007 11:39AM
To be fair, GW borrows a lot from everything else.. Alien, Terminator, Dune, etc etc etc. But the sawblade gun and the fact the guys all look like Space Marines is pretty obvious where they're borrowing from. It wouldn't hurt to give a nod to GW for some of their success.
colin @ Dec 6th 2007 12:02PM
ha! CLIFFYB has Cthulhu at his desk, or at least, the EYE of Cthulhu.
niiiice
Robobagins @ Dec 6th 2007 12:40PM
Hey all, let's rob Mick Jagger, er I mean CliffyB.
yojimb0 @ Dec 6th 2007 1:22PM
What teensy monitors.
ill trooper @ Dec 6th 2007 1:55PM
I find the transformers stuff uninspiring, but that's obviously just me! I'll give him props for that G.I. Joe with 'Kung Fu Grip™' and the Space Battleship Yamoto. Plus he 'transformed' his look and looks a lot more presentable. So high marks for all that.
Ranus Studios @ Dec 6th 2007 2:17PM
Is that a G1 Optimus Prime up there? I have Soundwave and Wheeljack, but still. Damn.
Libb @ Dec 6th 2007 4:20PM
I am deeply surprised that CliffyB doesn't have a Jazz Jackrabbit, AKA the most awesome character he has ever created, figurine on his desk. There ain't nothing better than a little bunny with a big-ass gun.
