One of the coolest reveals today at Toy Fair 2017 was that NECA was doing an entire assortment of DC Comics vs Aliens and Predator Figures. You an see all three 2-packs at the NECA Toy Fair 2017 Booth Photos. Today they released official photos and info for the Batman vs Joker Alien Set.
NECA is extremely excited to reveal the first in new series of action figure 2-packs inspired by classic comic book mash-ups!
The first release in the “Versus” line comes from the 1997 Batman/Aliens comic book mini-series co-published by DC Comics and Dark Horse. In it, Batman faces strange new Aliens produced using DNA from some of Arkham Asylum’s deadliest inmates.
The set includes two brand new, comic book based figures, both with over 30 points of articulation. Batman features a fabric cape, and the “Joker” Alien has a bendable tail.
Window box packaging.
Look for this set to be released in July. All of the new photos can be found after the jump.
Toy Fair 2017 - NECA Batman vs Joker Alien 2-Pack
Need this.
Very creative, very cool! Never even knew there was a crossover comic. Gonna have to read it. And of course but this pack!
I like the Batman figure a lot.
The batman will be a definite for me, he will go good anywhere. I was on the fence with the alien but the more I see it the more I like it. Way to go NECA.
Am I the only one considering getting this just for a good comic Batman figure from NECA that can go anywhere? Same with the Superman one.
I hope they give these guys some decent accessories, though. Granted it is intended to be a set based off of a comic, but the Superman and Batman look really good as standalone figures.
I'm looking forward to all of the Neca dc vs two packs, they look really well done.
Love that Batman!
Oh those are two packs only? Damn. I want the DC figures, and maybe the Predator, but that Joker Alien is way too silly IMO. Guess I'll pass then.
Any updates on what happened to this set ? The website kept listing it out at the end of July, yet I havent seen any photos or reviews out there.......
did they cancel it ?...... :/
It hasn't been cancelled…yet. They are still trying to get through all the licensing hurdles. I believe Randy said they won't be coming out this year and hopefully they WILL come out.
Does that include the Batman vs Predator set? Reeeaaaallly wanting that Batman vs Predator set.
Yep. All 3 of the DC sets.
*hrmm* Fine. I can be patient when I have to be. Won't like it but I can do it.
The delay is frustrating though. There isn't much we can do but wait so wait I will. I am in for all of these sets though. The armored Batman is even cool and would go great with the Superman in a battle scene even if the suit isn't as comic accurate.
Sorry guys, I just got horrible news.
"Thank you for Pre-ordering from BigBadToyStore!
We regret to inform you that we must cancel all Pre-orders for the Batman Vs. Alien Figures Two Pack. NECA notified us that due to limitations from their licensor, this item will only be available for sale at conventions. They have cancelled all orders for this item. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding."
So this two-pack is going to be a con exclusive? That is a ridiculous, unnecessary move on part of the licensor and NECA. Sad days upon us Aliens/DC fans.
Well, it's not unnecessary for NECA. They were running up against barriers left and right. They already paid for tooling, which makes releasing them anyway they can completely necessary.
So what convention? I have to have that Batman!!!!

Not sure what there is to be upset about though...it seemed clear that this was due to circumstances (red tape dealing with multi-licenses) beyond Neca's control.
Anyway, I'd rather it come out as a con exclusive, where I'd at least have some kind of chance of getting it then to not come out at all.
Don’t they usually put con exclusives up on the web? I think I’ve even seen a couple of the predator con exclusives at TRU and Hastings.

Does that go for the Batman vs Predator set too?
