One fo the best Batman action figures on the market is the Arkham Origins Play Arts Kai Batman from Square Enix, but I'm having a hard time justifying the $99 purchase. Slap on a coat of shiny paint and limit it to 1,000 figures sold during this year's San Diego Comic-Con and I may reconsider.

E3 isn't just about games. It's about game-related stuff as well. An example: Square Enix's Play Arts action figure line, which is using the show to debut a couple of new pieces based on upcoming titles (which it also happens to be publishing).

After the whole Final Fantasy XIII hullabaloo, a FF break was in order. The world didn't get that. It got Final Fantasy XIII-2.

Square Enix Products has produced some lovely action figures in its Halo: Reach Play Arts Kai series. Now the company commemorates the tenth anniversary of the Halo franchise with a re-envisioned version of Master Chief and a stunning Spartan Mark V.

The best, of course, being 3A's Metal Gear Rex. But since that looks as expensive as gold-plated gold with diamond chunks, this Cyborg Ninja slots comfortably into second place.

Besides making Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, Square Enix also makes plastic figures under its Play Arts brand. And this summer, it's releasing more Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Play Arts figurines.

Now available at the North American Square Enix store, these adorable Tarutaru Play Arts figures represent the best thing to come out of Final Fantasy XI.
