What's Your Obsession

A few days ago NECA announced their 1:1 scale Lancer replica from Gears of War. It’s a US exclusive, HOWEVER, international customers are getting something even better. The Gold Lancer! UK customers get it at Play.com, Australia via Gametraders, Mexico through Blockbuster Mexico, and Canada through Gamestop.

Terminator Collection Series 1 (June) – Tech Noir T-800 w/ Uzi 9mm and .45 long slide with laser sighting – Motorcycle Cop T-1000 w/spike arm and Uzi – T-800 Endoskeleton (new version – not pictured) Terminator Collection Series 2 (September) – Battle Damaged Tech Noir T-800 w/opened forearm exposing endoskeleton (includes shotgun and 2 interchangeable [...]

Apparently that NECA Predator Hound is going to have 20 points of articulation on it’s own, pretty impressive. The Elder Predator and the Classic Predator figures both look great, I’m sure action figure collectors are gonna be pretty happy about them!

A consistently popular line for NECA, their Gears of War figures, gets a 6th series. It’s going to feature Skorge, the Kantus Priest, the Cog Soldier on a newly-articulated body, and a Boomer Mauler. Unfortunately the promo images are a little small, but oh well, it’ll be up at toy retailers soon enough if you [...]

Since NECA is still using the promo shot of Isaac from before, seems that they aren’t planning to revise the Isaac figure. On the other hand, the Necro looks great. The Isaac will be heavily articulated and feature LEDs, the Necro will have body parts that snap off, which is kind of great since you’re [...]

NECA’s made some impressive 18~ inch figures before and no doubt this is going to be another fine way. With over 20 points of articulation, tons of small details, and 3 facial display options, it’ll be a pretty good purchase at $80. Should be hitting store shelves in April.

This was supposed to be decent considering NECA’s figure record of late…but uh, I’m not sure where NECA went wrong with this Dead Space 2 toy. Just take a look for yourself. Here’s hoping for some improvements.

Yep, it’s a re-release of the previous NECA Army of Darkness Ash figure, but that one is tough to track down so here’s a chance to get it for retail.

No pictures are available yet, but I’m sure a prototype will be available at SDCC. Current plans are for at least two figures, Frank-N-Furter and Riff Raff, both about 7 inches tall. I’d be amazed if they didn’t release 2 or 3 separate waves at the least.

The Bioshock line is getting a Big Sister Eleanor with Saved Little Sister 2-pack. Eleanor has modified armor and the little sister looks like a normal girl, instead of a regular little sister. Gears of War gets Jace Stratton, a character from the comic books. Their Terminator line gets a liquid metal T-1000 figure. All [...]
