I Missed My Only Chance To Buy An ‘Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee' Action Figure

Abe action figure. I was browsing LinkedIn today, something I don't recommend anyone spend their precious time doing, and happened to come across a cool Kickstarter campaign for an Abe action figure. No, not presidential Honest Abe, and not Good Burger actor Abe Vigoda, but the brave Mudokon with a heart of gold, plucked directly from long-running puzzle-platforming franchise Oddworld—the Abe, in my retro gaming book. The only trouble is…. the campaign ended on May 29, so now I can't buy what UK-based Gametee was selling: An officially licensed, 5-inch tall, 10-point articulated, hand-painted Abe action figure. What a complete bummer, although I'm honestly happy for the 1,686 backers who helped fully fund the project, which soared way over the original £14,000 goal with an impressive total £112,959 (roughly $152,000 USD). I'm honestly surprised it's taken this long for an official Oddworld toy to make it to market, because the IP's world and characters are so stunningly rich and fleshed out and, let's admit it, utterly bizarre. It's all perfect for plastic, really. I'm thinking back to the '90s and I can't recall any mention of Oddworld action figures being in the works, although I wouldn't be surprised if there were talks at some point. Crash Bandicoot eventually got a set of toys, as did Primal Rage, Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. No Abe, though, until now. As disappointed as I am that I missed this Kickstarter opportunity, it does give me hope that maybe Oddworld Inhabitants and Gametee will partner again to expand on what could potentially be a whole series of creatures. The Oddworld universe is simply begging for this kind of collectible tribute, and truly, there's no shortage of wacky critters to immortalize. An Elum would be rad, which is a sort of alien steed that Abe rides around like a two-legged horse. A Slig toy would be a must as well, since they're patrolling everywhere inside the games. I'd especially love a Scrab or a Paramite, and I'm even imagining some detailed dioramas in which to display the figures. Or maybe Mighty Max-style playsets with miniature Mudokons, and neon lights! I'm getting carried away, obviously, but it's fun to think about.

Abe's Oddysee released way back in 1997, which seems like eons ago, but seeing this sort of Kickstarter come to fruition really brought back a lot of great gaming memories. The games were hard, no doubt, but I forgave the steep difficulty curve, simply because the sheer creativity on display was through the roof. I'll eternally have a soft spot for Abe and his strange adventures, especially those incredible CG cutscenes that made owning a legacy PlayStation feel like magic. Oh, and we can't forget the farts. So many digital farts.

UK government to spend £1.5bn on six new weapons factories

The government will spend £1.5bn on at least six new munitions and explosives factories to "better deter our adversaries", Defence Secretary John Healey has said. The factories will support up to 7,000 UK-built long-range weapons and create about 1,800 new jobs, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said. The announcement is part of the government's Strategic Defence Review, which is due to be published on Monday. The war in Ukraine has highlighted serious deficiencies in the West's ability to produce weapons and munitions, and senior British military officers have long warned about the UK's depleted stockpiles. As part of its defence review, the government said it would build new factories to make key munitions and explosives as part of its plans to have an "always on" munitions production capacity that could be scaled up quickly. It also said the UK would purchase more than 7,000 British-built long-range weapons, including drones and missiles, over several years. According to the MoD, the new funding will see UK munitions spend hit £6bn during this parliament. Ministers said the extra investment - which came after Healy said that UK defence spending would rise to 3% of GDP by 2034 at the latest - will strengthen the armed forces and boost British jobs. Chancellor Rachel Reeves said: "A strong economy needs a strong national defence, and investing in weaponry and munitions and backing nearly 2,000 jobs across Britain in doing so is proof the two go hand-in-hand. "We are delivering both security for working people in an uncertain world and good jobs, putting more money in people's pockets." Healey said the UK's defence industry will become "an engine for economic growth" and will "boost skilled jobs in every nation and region". "The hard-fought lessons from [Russian President Vladimir] Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine show a military is only as strong as the industry that stands behind them," he added. "We are strengthening the UK's industrial base to better deter our adversaries and make the UK secure at home and strong abroad." Senior Western military chiefs have long been warning the UK would quickly run out of ammunition in the event of a war. In 2021, the former head of the US Army in Europe, Gen Ben Hodges, told MPs in a simulated wargame most of the British Army's inventory was exhausted after just eight days. The former head of the British Army, Gen Sir Patrick Sanders, has also been calling for the UK to boost weapons production. He recently said the Army's diminished stocks of artillery rounds and missiles "would put hairs on the back of your neck". The UK has now significantly increased production of artillery shells. New contracts have been signed to produce more complex weapons, such as next generation light anti-tank weapons (NLAW) and long-range Storm Shadow (also known as SCALP) cruise missiles. Both have been supplied to Ukraine but production rates have, in the past, been slow. Exact numbers are not made public. With the war in Ukraine, global demand for explosives and propellants has also been high. The UK has often had to source materials from abroad. Healey expects UK to spend 3% of GDP on defence by 2034 UK turns to AI and drones for new battlefield strategy The real problem facing Britain's shrinking military

Britain plans at least six new weapons factories in defence review

MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) -Britain will build at least six new factories producing weapons and explosives as part of a major review of its defence capabilities, the government said on Saturday. The 1.5 billion-pound ($2.0 billion) investment will be included in the Strategic Defence Review, a 10-year plan for military equipment and services. The SDR is expected to be published on Monday. The Ministry of Defence added that it planned to procure up to 7,000 long-range weapons built in Britain. Together, the measures announced on Saturday will create around 1,800 jobs, the MoD said. "The hard-fought lessons from (Russian President Vladimir) Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine show a military is only as strong as the industry that stands behind them," Defence Secretary John Healey said in a statement. "We are strengthening the UK's industrial base to better deter our adversaries and make the UK secure at home and strong abroad." The extra investment will mean Britain will spend around 6 billion pounds on munitions in the current parliament, the MoD said. Earlier on Saturday, the MoD said it would spend an extra 1.5 billion pounds to tackle the poor state of housing for the country's armed forces.
