Pre-order Dante's Inferno, get figure from fires of hell photo

When Visceral and Electronic Arts announced the Dante's Inferno demo for December, I breathed a sigh of relief. It was not, as many demos seem to be these days, tied in to a pre-order bonus.

Instead, Dante's Inferno is getting something a bit better -- a Dante's figure. GameStop is offering up the collectible figurine with pre-orders of the title. The figure looks pretty detailed and posable, but there's no indication as to how big it is. Dante is also, as GameStop points out, holding the tattered remains of his red Snuggie. 

If you enjoy the demo, is the promise of a figure enough to get you to throw down your pre-order dollars?

It looks like a decent figure but two things are stopping me. It looks like it could be the same quality as the figures from the SFIV and RE5 collectors editions and I'm not sure this game will be great and if not, it's not worth preordering.

Since this is a separate pre-order bonus offered exclusively by GameStop, I'd have to guess that this figure is the same size(5 inches) and quality as the figure pre-order bonus offered for the Afro Samurai game. That Afro figure offered by GameStop is surprisingly good in quality, and it's a good size as well. I'll definitely be pre-ordering Dante's Inferno from GameStop. :)

from the site "Straight from the fires of hell to your bookshelf, this figurine is so detailed you can actually see the shredded remains of Dante's red Snuggie."

It's been a long time since I read the Divine Comedy, but I don't recall him having a cross cut into his chest.

I also never recalled him having a bionic left arm...

Looks nice, and I'd preorder it if I was confident that the game would be awesome, but after playing the demo at PAX, I need to hear some better impressions of a much-improved version.

I want this figure, but I can't force myself to pre-order through Gamestop! How much do these things usually eBay for? You know what, I'll look it up...

Why would you spend extra $$ to buy this figure when you can get it free with a preorder ... ?

The figure is freaking awesome. It is at least 7" tall, and like they said super posable. Also the scythe can be taken off the hilt and worn as an arm blade, and the cross can be unstrapped from his hip so he can absolve all your sin-filled toys of their sins.
