Each individually packaged McFarlane Toys Assassin’s Creed action figure unlocks a different item in the upcoming Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. Simply enter the unique code into Ubisoft’s Uplay service and follow the prompts to claim your reward.

KENWAY FAMILY SWORD
Unlocked by Edward Kenway action figure (Available August 2013)

The distinctive Kenway Family Sword hints at its mysterious origins through details such as the iconic crest and eagles on its hilt. Though not the most powerful sword in the game, the Kenway Family Sword is stronger than Edward’s starter sword, and will give players an edge when starting out in the harsh Caribbean world of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.

DARK BLUE OUTFIT FOR EDWARD
Unlocked by Haytham Kenway action figure(Available August 2013)

Give a new look to Edward’s standard Assassin robes with this unique dark blue color scheme. Similar to the tailor’s dyes of previous Assassin’s Creed games, this option recolors Edward’s standard outfit in dark blue, with red accents and gold trim.
