I think this by far wins the "coolest thing" in my collection award. It's a 1:1 size replica of Cole's Amp. As far as I know these were only given out as prizes, but I happened to get one from someone lucky enough to win one. Apparently it originated from G4 if I use the original shipping label as a reference.
Anyway, this is a really awesome item! It's a lot more sturdy than I imagined it to be too. The Amp itself is made from actual metal, and the ends are a thick rubber. It's really heavy too. The base is a thick material as well, but is probably some kind of plastic. An amusing little tidbit: one of the replica Amps like the one I have is on Kevin Butler's desk in one of the inFAMOUS 2 commercials. I'm going to assume it's not the same one though.

Now this is something truly interesting. It's a replica of Cole's backpack from the first inFAMOUS game. The seller of this item said it was used to promote the games in Latin America, but this is the first time I've seen it anywhere. It's pretty cool. I tried to get a picture of the inside of it as well, as I found the mesh pocket inside a neat little detail. I think I quite prefer this one to the inFAMOUS 2 bag. :)

This is a promotional box sent to retailers (I believe) in Europe to promote the release of inFAMOUS 2. It came with another Cole figurine (I have so many of these now :b) a cool inFAMOUS 2 shirt, a poster I already have, a lanyard with inFAMOUS 2 information on the back, a pin, some stickers and a promo copy of the game. Pretty basic stuff here but it's pretty cool. My favorite thing about this set is the box. One side has good Cole colors and the other has evil. Awesome!
|
All I know about this is that its a 35mm film reel of the "Ultra Guy" inFAMOUS 2 Commercial (that's the Kevin Butler commercial). I tried to get more information on it from the person I bought it from but I didn't get much. It didn't cost much anyway, and its certainly a unique item.

I literally have no idea what is on this. I got it off yahoo! Japan auctions. I got it because it said inFamous 2 on it. However, when it arrived it was in its original plastic seal! The collector in my weeps at the thought of removing the minty plastic seal from it. So, I don't know what is on it. It's probably just a japanese inFamous 2 trailer, as this was probably used in video game store video displays or so. But this is just my best guess, as the minty seal prevents me from the truth. :D
|
Here's a neato item that was apparently a pre-order item available only in Spain! It has the same type of cover as the inFamous 2 Special Edition in which Cole changes between good and evil depending on the angle you look at it in. It's really neat! It's made for a PS3 slim.
|
It's a double sided acrylic keychain with the box art from inFAMOUS on it. It is double sided, one has good Cole and the other depicts evil Cole. Also don't ask why I have four of them.

The glorious inFAMOUS 2 press kit! I know in the past I split items up for photos in my website, but this one I decided to keep together. This press kit comes with a bunch of interesting items. My favorite is of course the replica of Cole's wallet. It's actually really well made, and comes with a copy of his courier ID card and a fake credit card. I guess Cole prints his own money too because that is included, as well as a receipt for some food. There are some articles in the wallet as well, but they are in French so I can't read them.
It also comes with some mock-polaroid photos of important new elements in inFAMOUS 2. Some posters are included as well. One side is the same comic book poster I already have, and on the back is a poster of Cole in the Obama poster art style. The included brouchure of New Marais is in French as well, but when it folds out the back has another poster, which is the same cover art as the PAL version of inFAMOUS 2.
Also in case you were wondering, the blocked out parts are redeemable codes. I don't want anyone stealing my codes, okay.

A miniature cardboard Cole. He stands approximately 16 inches. Its printed on high quality shiny cardboard and is really neat. I saw this used as a display item in my local Gamestop, I'm not sure what other stores had them up though. This is probably one of my favorite items because its unique but still really cool. Also a fun fact: the tattoos on his arms in this standee aren't the ones he had in the final game, despite this being the same image they used on the boxart.
|
Cole's Backpack from inFAMOUS 2. This came as one of the extras in the Hero Edition version of the game. Its a really nicely made backpack. It has a lot more room in it than it looks in the pictures too. It's pretty much exactly like the one he has in the game.
|
The Cole figure that was also included as a component in the Hero Edition version of the game. This figure is actually pretty cool, its highly detailed and seems very well put together. Cole's face might be a little weird but I find most figurines tend to have slightly weird faces. Oh, and he looks like he just got done rolling in some dirt too. I guess all that parkouring around the city tends to do that to someone. Now if only inFAMOUS could get an actual figure line... the things I would do for a Zeke figure...
|
A heroic repaint of the Cole figurine as pictured above! This isn't available in retail and as far as I know is only being given out for prizes and marketing purposes. I am unsure of the exact numbers of these but they are a lot more common than the other prize-only inFamous thing.
|
Another repaint, but this time in the Evil version. This figure is kind of creepy, but I guess he's supposed to look that way! He even has detailing as intricate as the veins and paler skin. Neat! For some reason my camera did not like taking photos of him.

I got this super cool inFamous 2 display box from the internet. It's actually from Gamestop, as is obvious from the front. It appears to be just a larger version of the retail copy of inFamous 2. The artwork for this game is one of my favorite aspects so it's always nice to have them in larger high quality forms.
|
This is perhaps one of the oddest things I own. It's not the entire box, but rather just the slipcover from the PS3 box that came bundled with inFamous 2. So no, I did not purchase an additional PS3 just for inFamous 2 artwork. Its still pretty awesome though.
|
The inFAMOUS press kit! I found this on eBay and it looked pretty awesome, signatures and everything on it. I ended up in a pretty epic last-minute bid-sniping stand off over this that had me paying a bit more than I would have liked, but in the end I'm really glad I got this! It has a lot of super cool artwork, not to mention the asset disc which has a lot of media extras (images, videos, etc) on it. It also came with another copy of the game, and a copy of the soundtrack! Awesome!
|
I don't know why it took so long for me to finally get this but I am glad I did! Not only does it come with 3 extra tracks that were not included on the digital release, but it's got a pretty nifty design as well. I am really fond of the design on the disc.
|
The physical counterpart to the download-only inFAMOUS 2: The Red Soundtrack. The blue soundtrack includes additional tracks from inFAMOUS 2 including the song used in the ending credits of the game. The artwork inside this release is pretty lacking compared to the inFAMOUS 1 soundtrack, but it more than makes up for it in content.
|
Probably the most random inFAMOUS item I've run across yet. I also won these in that IGN for Haiti auction in early 2010. Funny thing is though, one of them just has the inFAMOUS logo taped to it, it's like their prototype design or something? I'm not sure, but I find it amusing and consider it part of the collection anyway. especially considering the price I payed for that lot!.
