NECA Announces Web of Spider-Man HeroClix

Looks like with the Web of Spider-Man HeroClix series, you’ll get the chance to pick up a First Appearance Spider-Man HeroClix as some kind of mail-in promotion. I might have to pick up a HeroClix Deadpool and make a Marvel Legends Icons-sized Rhino to go with him. 😀

NECA Announces Jonah Hex Props and Figures

My first exposure to comics was through my uncle’s pile of DC comics. He mostly read three titles: Justice League of America, House of Secrets, and Jonah Hex. I’m psyched to see Hex make his way to the big screen, and now I’ll have the chance to add him to my toy shelves. We have more pics of the NECA Jonah Hex figures from Toy Fair.

Welcome Jonah Hex

NECA shows off first figures and props from the new movie!

Josh Brolin is Jonah Hex, a scarred bounty hunter with a chance at freedom from the warrants out on him. All he has to do is bring down Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich), who’s been planning to unleash hell on earth. Aided by the gun-toting prostitute Leila (Megan Fox), Jonah Hex sets out to secure his future and maybe just save all of ours in the process.

The film is out June 18, but you won’t have to wait nearly that long to get your hands on our first batch of goodies from Jonah Hex! NECA is proud to unveil an assortment of action figures and two movie props that are sure to start your summer blockbuster season off just right.

First up is the tomahawk hatchet that Jonah Hex uses in the movie. Our authentic replica is made of wood and metal, is 16″ in length and cast directly from a film-used prop. Obviously we don’t recommend throwing it or the hacking of anyone into tiny bits, but it certainly does look great on a shelf.

Next is the cane carried by Quentin Turnbull. Just like the one used on screen, our replica has an eagle head, is over three feet long and is made of wood and metal.

And last but not at all least, the action figures. Set to a 7″ scale, our first Jonah Hex assortment features Jonah Hex, Leila and Quentin Turnbull. Jonah comes with a pistol, his tomahawk, and a removable hat. Quentin features his cane, a pistol and removable hat and mask, and Leila comes with a pistol. That might seem like a lot of pistols, but hey, it’s a pistol-toting kind of movie.

Our line of Jonah Hex replicas and figures hits stores next month, but is available now for preorder and will also be featured on our Amazon storefront.

NECA Announces More BioShock Figures for Summer

I know Sandman likes these (see his Big Sister and Little Sister review), but it’s difficult for me to appreciate them fully without ever having played the game.

Shocked Again

NECA Shines Light on New BioShock Figures and Replicas!

Hot on the heels of our Big Daddy Bouncer plush replica and the EVE Hypo Syringe, we’ve got a whole new wave of BioShock items due this summer!

Based on the 2k Games smash hit, BioShock 2, our latest wave of BioShock items are bigger and more detailed than ever before — and in the case of the Subject Delta plush, also more adorable.

At over seven inches tall, Subject Delta is the sequel to the Big Daddy Bouncer plush replica. It perfectly captures the look of Little Sister’s doll from the game. Comes complete with a baseball head, corkscrew drill arm and a wristwatch face.

For those looking for a little more action (figures), we’ve got our Series 2 assortment, which features an Eleanor Lamb and Little Sister two pack and a 7″ Ladysmith Splicer that comes with a tommy gun, rolling pin and a removable mask. The Little Sister and Eleanor Lamb stand 3 3/4” and are fully articulated. Accessories include ADAM syringes and two small Big Daddy dolls for the girls to hold.

And then it’s time to get deluxe. Big Daddy Rosie is loaded with articulation and tanks that plug into the back. This enormous figure also comes with the Rivet Gun accessory that she can hold in her right hand. This is the biggest and baddest Big Daddy yet!

All these new BioShock items will hit stores late June or July and will also be featured on our Amazon storefront.
