NECA has revealed plans, as well as the first image, of a new line of figures based on characters from the cult classic film Boondock Saints. The first figures revealed are Connor and Murphy McManus.
Connor and Murphy McManus are coming for you, and they brought their pennies.
The story of vigilante/religous nutball brothers who take to the mean streets of Boston on a brutal and murderous quest to rid the city of organized crime, Boondock Saints has become one of the true cult classics of the 21st Century. Developing a word-of-mouth DVD audience after a limited theatrical release in 1999, it has defied time, logic and criticism to attain the status of a true phenomenon. Don’t worry, there’s a sequel in the works.
And just in time for the 10th anniversary of the movie’s original release, NECA is psyched beyond belief to unveil our new 7″ scale Connor and Murphy, seen here in a movie-accurate pose ready to take a bite out of crime, execution-style. Each highly-detailed figure comes with a pistol and interchangeable head and plenty of pious justice to unleash on the gang underworld!

Murphy: Absolutely. What are ya, insane?
Connor: No I ain't. Charlie Bronson's always got rope.
Murphy: What?
Connor: Yeah. He's got a lot of rope strapped around him in the movies, and they always end up using it.
Murphy: You've lost it, haven't ya?
Connor: No, I'm serious.
Murphy: Me too. That's stupid. Name one thing you gonna need a rope for.
Connor: You don't f#ckin' know what you're gonna need it for. They just always need it.
Murphy: What's this 'they' sh!t? This isn't a movie.

Connor: Well, "Name one thing you're gonna need this stupid f#king rope for."
Murphy: That was way easier than I thought.
Connor: Aye.
Murphy: You know, on TV you always got that guy that jumps over the sofa.
Connor: And then you gotta shoot at him for ten f#cking minutes, too.
Murphy: Aye.
Connor: Christ.
Murphy: We're good.
Connor: Yes, we are.
Oh...these will definitely be on my desk!
Need
Like this movie, but if someone who didn't it and saw these figs, it be awful hard to explain the appeal of two action figures in plain jeans and a jacket.
The figures come with 2 heads.. with and with out glasses.
If you havent gotten them yet you should start hunting.. NECA had to cancel these they didnt have the legal rights to produce them..
I posted a story about it that got front paged..

i just saw two of each at TRU for $13.99.
