Giant Overwatch Action Figures Appear Across The World
Giant Overwatch action figures have popped up around the world as Blizzard gears up for the shooter's release in a few days.
Three huge figures, including Tracer in Hollywood, Genji in Paris, and Pharah in Busan, began to appear after Overwatch's official twitter tweeted a cryptic message about "agents activating."
Each stands around 15 feet tall and is showcased in action-figure styled packaging. Stats for each character is written on the back of the oversized packages, as well as a "try me" button on the side that lights up the figure. For Tracer in particular, you can watch Hollywood Boulevard's EarthCam to view it in real time.
You can check out photos of the oversized characters below.
