While I didn’t speak to anyone at the NECA booth (everyone looked very busy), I did take some pictures of their action figures in HeroClix, Player Select video games, and movie license categories, excluding Harry Potter and Twilight. Sorry, fans of those two franchises – I couldn’t bring myself to do it. 😀

Here’s a great picture of RDJ with a 6-inch Iron Man 2 figure we didn’t see when we were onsite with Hasbro. SHH has another picture with him and the Iron Man electronic helmet. Cool stuff!
