The first photos of the upcoming Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets action figures have been released by NECA. The first figure we get a look at is K-Tron, a police robot from the film. On social media, NECA has stated that the final figure will be highly articulated. We’ll get a look at the next two figures in mid-May.
From the epic sci-fi saga directed by Luc Besson, visionary director of The Fifth Element and Lucy. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets follows a pair of space-and-time-traveling special agents on a mission to the unimaginably huge intergalactic city of Alpha.
The assortment includes Valerian (with likeness of Dane DeHaan), Laureline (with likeness of Cara Delevigne), and police robot K-Tron. Each fully articulated, highly detailed figure stands approximately 7” tall and comes with character-specific accessories. Window box packaging.
The figures are scheduled to ship out in September. You can see the new photos after the jump.

If they just make the aliens in the trailer, they have like 10 waves.
Cool!
Now if they could just get the license to Mad Max: Fury Road. I would sh!t my pants.

Mad Max and John Wick are two series that I wish NECA would pick up. I never thought about Valerian and Laureline. This could be a massive and amazing wave. Drenched in Euro-scifi awesomeness. Lord I don't need another NECA line that I want to collect in its entirety. I can't wait.
Movie trailer: yuck.
Yeah, a good 1:12 figure of Mel Gibson as Mad Max would be a grail.
I am looking forward to the new Howard the Duck Movie
They will most likely make only the lead characters and maybe an alien and/or droid that figure big in the film.
Not sure how excited I am about the movie, but the comic is one of my all time favourites. So, in that regard, I'll gladly buy anything NECA puts out. Plus, it's a good thing that the source material that Lucas so obviously ripped off for Star Wars is finally getting some mainstream attention.

The similarities are notable but it's not like Valerian invented most of these things, a lot of classic sci-fi tropes were established in ye ol' Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon stories. There are a ton of sci-fis from before the '70s that clearly set the tone for what would become the sort of standard used by Star Wars and Star Trek before it.

Same could be said for many other characters: Batman (Zorro, The Shadow), Robocop (Japanese Metal Heroes, Marvel's Deathlock), ...

anyway, yeah, thats it...doesnt seem as shocking as when i first saw it. the frozen guy still stands out but like was already mentioned the rest seemed pulled from sci fi/fantasy tropes...
i cannot wait for this movie.
