My favorite detail, and its one most companies would have skipped or not really paid much attention to, is his little chest plate heads up display. Even the boots received some little extras. His left wrist and hand have a bit of tech looking equipment bits that are intricately sculpted and cleanly painted. I've since looked at quite a bit of material from Dead Space and this suit seems very game accurate. There are all sorts of things happening all over Clarke's suit. The areas that are clearly meant to be fabric LOOK like fabric and the parts that are clearly meant to be metal (or whatever super plastics we may use in a space travel filled future) have a good solidarity to them.
NECA has given it some good texture to keep him from looking like he's in a one piece body suit.
Clarke's suit is very simple in its very utilitarian style design. Its one of my most common praises of NECA, they do not use weak, rubbery plastic like most mainstream companies. Issac Clarke is made out of a dense plastic that carries some good weight without being clunky. I've never seen that before in an 8" figure. It was only a few weeks before the Con when I read that the average, 8" scale Isaac Clarke, in keeping with the game's aesthetic, would feature LED lights in his head and torso. What I didn't know, is that thanks to their San Diego Comic Con exclusive debut of Isaac Clarke, that I'd be drooling over their creation. This year, when I heard NECA secured the license to produce Dead Space figures, I knew they'd do the fans of Dead Space proud after seeing their outstanding work on several games including Gears of War and Street Fighter IV. Not being a well trained super soldier is always a more engaging premise. What struck me about what I'd read was that you play an entire action shooter, set in a very 1979 Alien film-like setting, as a mechanic, Isaac Clarke, with mainly tools with which to fight. I first read about the PS3/XBOX/PC game, Dead Space quite a while ago and, regretfully, I've yet to play it.
