By Ron, on August 27th, 2010 OK. Twilight’s not exactly my thing. But back when we were still hoping for Series 2 of NECA’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle line, Randy Falk told me that Twilight was NECA’s biggest selling line. My wife and I saw these at Toys R Us the other day – she wasn’t interested, but I think if NECA made some vinyl figures there’s another Twilight market ready to bust wide open!
New Eclipse Figures
OMG OMG OMG!
  
It’s only the biggest cultural phenomenon of the last decade, so if you’ve been missing out on the whole Twilight thing, that’s perfectly understandable. Or not. At all.
The newest movie chapter in this bona fide saga, Eclipse, is the most massive yet, and you know NECA’s right in there, bringing you all the supernatural goodies you can handle and then some. Whether you’re pulling for Edward or Jacob, you’re definitely going to want to check out our newest line of Eclipse 7″ action figures!
It’s a hard choice, vampires or werewolves, and we figured why make it when you can have both? Eclipse series one features both Edward and Jacob in all their brooding/hyper-abdominal glory, plus the first Twilight villain ever to be made into an action figure (and we’d know, since we’re the ones making them), Victoria!
All three figures are available now, featured on our Amazon storefront , and if you haven’t yet seen our official Eclipse store, now’s definitely the time.

By Ron, on August 23rd, 2010 Does Robert Rodriguez ever stop working? I still haven’t seen Predators, and already Machete is right around the corner. But really, I’m wondering when Sin City 2 is gonna make it to the big screen.
Machete Cut Down To Size
Because a house isn’t a home without Danny Trejo.
He is one of the ultimate cult film icons of all-time, and now he finally gets his time in the limelight. Danny Trejo is Machete. A renegade with a flying motorcycle, a penchant for making things blow up, and a keen sense of revenge for those who’ve wronged him. Sound good? You know it does.
Directed by Robert Rodriguez, the movie Machete is based on one of the fake trailers that preceded 2007′s Grindhouse. and it features Trejo in the role he was born to play: a deadly ex-Federale who’s just as much on the hunt as he is on the run, stacking up a body count along the way that would make Rambo blush. Forget the summer. This is the feel-good hit of your life!
NECA is proud to help immortalize Trejo in his first starring role as Machete, and we couldn’t be happier to unveil our new Machete 7″ action figure, which comes complete with Trejo’s likeness (yes, that is a special feature) and his character’s trademark weapon. You’ll never guess what it is.
So join us in celebrating the release of this slab of awesomeness and raise your machete high. May it be the first of many sequels — both the movie and the figure.
Machete opens Sept. 3, and our figures will be in stores later that month, and of course will also be featured on our Amazon storefront .

There have been many different Predator figure lines, from the original in the early 90′s to the earlier NECA movie lines, but to me this particular incarnation of the Classic Predator from the first film is a real winner.

By Ron, on August 4th, 2010 Robokillah picked the Square Enix version of Ezio for the Fwoosh Best of SDCC article, but if he was looking for less expensive alternatives to the Hot Toys Ezio, NECA may have just the figures.
A Real Renaissance Man
NECA’s got an Ezio for every taste
Assassin’s Creed II is one of our favorite action games ever, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to show off our two new figures of the main character, Ezio!
 
He might be the most enduring game nobleman since Simon Belmont, and in ACII, Ezio Auditore da Firenze is inhabited by Desmond Miles, who lives out genetic memory in Renaissance Italy from the future via the Animus 2.0. Sounds complicated, and it is, but what it rounds out to is one of the coolest and most intricate games ever, and the winner of Best Action Game at the 2009 Spike Video Game Awards.
Our figure of this highly requested fan favorite stands 7” tall and has over 20 points of articulation. Ezio is available in two different versions, Standard or Black, and each figure features retractable wrist blades and intricate, game-accurate costume design and detail.
Ezio is set to feature in the next sequel to Assassins Creed, dubbed Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, which is due November 12, 2010 from Ubisoft, and our assortment of figures ships in September and of course will also be featured on our Amazon storefront.

The 2010 San Diego Comic-Con is one day away and we’re writing down the things we are looking forward to the most! If you’ve never been to Comic-Con, I have to say it is one of the craziest places to be if you’re a fan of comic books, movies, television and most important to us: TOYS!
In this “Super Bowl” of geekdom, we get a lot of first peeks at various companies’ future toy releases. Here’s what I’m looking forward to seeing!
Masters of the Universe Classics (Mattel)
We got a lot of good stuff from this line this year. Last year Battle Cat was the star of the Con for me, as was seeing Teela and Trapjaw. This year they are supposed to show the same amount of figures they showed last year and I can’t wait to see what they have in store for us! I’m hoping to see Man-E-Faces, Panthor, Mantenna and maybe some vehicles!!

By Ron, on July 6th, 2010 A little over a month ago, NECA published a teaser pic for their line of action figures for the upcoming Predators movie. Now they’ve revealed the first shots of the three Predators. They’re three… ugly motherf*ckers!
Still Ugly After All These Years
New Predators revealed!
In honor of Predators hitting theaters this Friday, July 9, we’re thrilled to show off our all-new Predator figures!
That’s right, no more living in the shadows. The most fearsome hunters in the galaxy have returned, and this time, we’re on their turf. In Predators, some of Earth’s most able killers are kidnapped and brought to the Predator homeworld for some good old-fashioned hunting. It’s the first Predator-only movie since 1990′s Predator 2, named in the fashion of the Aliens series and starring Adrien Brody and Laurence Fishburne, among others.
  
But we all know the real stars are the Predators themselves, and it’s them we’ve honored in our line of figures from the movie. In the series of three, you get the brand new Falconer Predator, the menacing Berserker Predator, and of course, the original, Classic Predator! Each figure comes with unique weaponry, amazing detail and stands almost 8″ tall.
Predators is in theaters this Friday, July 9. Our Predators line will be in stores later this month and will also be featured on our Amazon storefront.

By Ron, on June 24th, 2010 I’ve just got an excerpt from WizKid’s preview of two of the figures from the upcoming Heroclix Web of Spider-Man set that was announced back in late April – Carnage and Cardiac. But you should really check out the full article, especially if you’re interested in the product planning that goes into producing a set of figures like this.
  Today, I have two sneak peaks of figs for you to look at, one from each category. First up, I have a “need.” If you’re going to do a Spider-Man set, you got to have representatives on the Symbiote front. Fans have been bugging (okay, asking) me for a new Carnage since I began working on Clix years ago. Web of Spider-Man includes a powerhouse version of Cletus Kasady that is sure to guarantee “maximum carnage.” Equipped with a vicious Special “Symbiote Blade,” Carnage is a worthy adversary. Next up on my preview board is another fan-demanded piece that conveniently happens to be from the Spider-verse.
Wow, that sculpt is a real shocker! All bad puns aside, what a breath-taking sculpt and paint for this awesome frie-nemy of Spider-Man. While Carnage is a top-line Spider enemy with a couple of major cross-over stories under his belt, Cardiac has a slightly longer and more nuanced relationship with our favorite webhead. He’s a perfect example of the supporting cast that makes Spider-Man’s world so rich and interesting. I can’t wait to show you more figs from the set, and in my next article, we’ll get into one of the meaty mechanics that makes Web truly innovative.

By Ron, on June 23rd, 2010 This is probably one of the more disturbing action figures I’ve seen. With spinning head action, the only think that could have made it more so would be if it shot pea soup of her mouth.
If NECA has this on display at San Diego Comic-Con, I’ll try to get some video of it. Yikes!
She’ll Make Your Head Spin
…Or at least hers will
It’s one of horror cinema’s all-time classic images: little girl, in bed, head spinning. NECA is proud to unveil our deluxe Exorcist boxed set of poor possessed Regan — complete with motorized spinning head!
 
The bed on which she rests is over 7” long, almost 6” across and over 5” tall. Regan herself is articulated at the neck, shoulders, and forearms, and motorized action allows the head to rotate 360 degrees timed in sync with the actual movie scene. The figure also plays music straight out of the film.
In the true spirit of terror — as in, you should be afraid you might not get one — we’re limiting our dear Regan to ONE PRODUCTION RUN. That’s it, buddy. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. It’ll be like they’ve been exorcised from our catalog.
The Regan deluxe boxed set will hit stores late September or October (in time for Halloween) and will also be featured on our Amazon storefront.
