SDCC '11: NECA's Movie Figures
Evil Dead 2, Robocop, Predators, Terminator,
and Gremlins
Evil Dead II: NECA has three Evil Dead
II Ash figures coming out in 2012. There is evil Deadite Ash with Lind's
severed head, Farewell to Arms Ash with a freshly lost hand, and Hero Ash with
the mighty chainsaw hand. As much as I love my McFarlane Toys Ash figure, he's
basically stuck in one pose, so a poseable Ash with a chainsaw hand will be
groovy. Well, poseable except for his legs, unfortunately. There is also a
Henrietta figure that is just as grotesque as it was in the movie.
Robocop: NECA is making a solitary Robocop
figure. I love Robocop, but I'm not sure if the new figure is something I'll
need. I'm perfectly happy with the McFarlane Toys one that came out years ago.
NECA's Robocop does have the data spike, though, for data spike middle finger
action. I do hope NECA gets to make an ED-209 at some point.

Groovy. |
I love that Robocop was
placed behind the Terminator sign. |

Deadite Ash include
Lind's severed head. Nice. |
It's still difficult to
decide if it's Evil Dead II or Evil Dead 2. |
Predators: Many of NECA's Predators from
Series 1 - 3 were on display and should all be out by now. The display was
pretty much the same as last year's, just with a few newer Predators. The 1/4
scale Predators have been out for a while now and were also on display. I love
the figure, but I hate that the figure doesn't include all three heads. It's bad
enough that the $15 Predators don't have removable masks, but it really sucks
when it's a figure that costs $50 - 60. The Predator exclusive was the very cool
"Gort" Predator that appeared for a few seconds in Predator 2.
Terminator: NECA's Terminator figures look
fantastic. Now that NECA has the rights to the first Terminator we can get some
quality figures from the start of the franchise. Series 1 has been out for about
a month now and Series 2 should be out in September. The Tech Noir Terminator
from the first movie is great and will help you to re-create the dance club
scene. another quality Endoskeleton is always good. At least the Endoskeleton
has articulated legs.
Gremlins: NECA is pumping out the Gremlins
figures with couple series of both Mogwais and Gremlins. The best one is
obviously Rambo Gizmo, who will be out in October along with Series 2 of the
Mogwais and Series 1 of the Gremlins. There was an Electric Gremlin on display,
but I'm not sure if NECA is actually making it or not. Their Gremlins exclusive
was the SDCC Gizmo that included sunglasses, an SDCC badge, and an SDCC bag to
put him in, which was pretty clever.

Now that is a large
Predator. |
 |
 |
|
Can you see that cloaked
Predator? Me either. |
More Predators! |
 |
 |
|
Oh look, a battle-damaged
Terminator and you can still recognize Arnold's face. |
Whenever I see the
Terminator on the left I want to go, "Unce unce unce." |
 |
 |
|
Make sure these little
guys behave themselves. |
Rambo Gizmo is clearly
the best figure in the Gremlins line. |
 |
 |
|
Flasher Gremlin.
Outstanding. |
I couldn't see Electric
Gremlin being sold on his own since it's so much less material, but maybe
with another figure. |
