We've already reported on Cryptic Studios' plans to have several pre-order offers for their upcoming super hero MMO Champions Online. This week the developer announced yet another pre-order special, and this time it's totally free.

Simply sign on to receive Cryptic's Champions Online newsletter by August 31 and when you purchase and sign into the MMO you get an "action figure" that resembles your in-game character. Apparently "action figure" is not just a figure of speech. According to the web site your living merchanising toy will follow you around and is "prone to fits of spontaneous dance." There's no word yet if you can kick it and send it flying several blocks. If so we are so getting one.
