News and Pictures from the Raving Toy Maniac already has news up about plans for Quake III Arena action figures from ReSaurus, as well as an update on the stat of the Quake figures (thanks Steve Lawson). Here's the update:

The eternally busy gang at ReSaurus has just announced, via their new ReSaurus Newsletter, that their next all-new series of Quake figures will be based on the upcoming id Software release Quake III: Arena!

There are four figures planned for the new series, including a new Male Marine named Sarge, Slash, a female cyborg, the alien champion known as Klesk (pictured, from the game) and Sleeg a heavily armored alien.

Subscribers to the ReSaurus Newsletter were given a special sneak peek at the control art for the Klesk figure. Want to see it? All you have to do is sign up for the Newsletter right here!

So, what about the figures based on the original Quake game announced at Toy Fair? ReSaurus plans to release many of those items, including the nearly completed Shambler, in the future (possibly as exclusives for their in-progress Collectors Club). As always stayed tuned to the ReSaurus website, as well as right here, for the latest news!

It's a Quake world, baby! Are you ready?

BTW, there's a specific request on the Q3A toy concept art described above that it is not for republication, so you'll have to get the newsletter if you want it. Also, the ReSaurus Newswire has word of an "upgrade" to their Quake II figures (though as far as I know no patch or point release will be available for existing users). There will be changes to some existing figures, adding some new features, and some cultural diversity: "Four brand new characters will include Marine Viper - a solid African-American fighting machine; Female Marine Lotus - a seductive, Asian warrior; an imposing Tank Commander; and an even creepier Iron Maiden. All four figures feature "upgraded" heads, accessories and paint schemes."
