During Christmas, we got our first glimpse at a bunch of items coming from NECA Toys. One of those was the all-new Crash Bandicoot figure. Today, NECA fully unveiled their new Crash Bandicoot 7″ Scale Figure! This is just the first in a planned line of figures from the PlayStation game series. The figure is set to hit stores in May. Check out some details below and see the first photos after the jump.
NECA’s debut release in the eagerly anticipated line of Crash Bandicoot action figures is Crash as you know and love him!
This core figure stands 5.5 inches tall and features a head sculpt unique to this release. Crash has plenty of articulation for maximum wumps, but just as importantly, he’s outfitted with ball-jointed eyebrows to create a variety of crazy expressions. As a bonus, tucked inside the clamshell packaging is a thick cardstock replica of a crate!
NECA Gets The Crash Bandicoot License
Oh hell yeah! Crash Bandicoot was one of my favorites when I was little, even had a plushie toy at one time.
NECA getting the license means affordable yet collector-friendly figures, so I really hope we get a good selection of characters, I need Crash, Coco, Neo Cortex and N. Gin at least.
The boss mutants might be right up NECA's alley considering how much they like TMNT, so getting guys like Tiny Tiger or Dingodile could be fun too.
Of course they did, becuase why not? I love Crash. It was one of the first Playstation games I ever owned, but unlike Mario or Sonic, I never thought, "Damn, I need toys from this series!"
Anyway, I do hope they do good things with the accessories.
I'm all in on these! I still beat myself up over missing the Resaurus stuff.
ohh hell yeah, the resaurus stuff is super pricey on ebay but i was still gonna buy it. but if this is coming out might as well save money, this is a automatic purchase from me neca! TAKE MY MONEY!
Funk making Disney Afternoon toys and now this?
LORDY!! Where do I sign up?
I actually wonder how they'll handle the scale. A 6-inch Crash Bandicoot figure would be a bit weird since the character is rather short.
I'd prefer it if the bigger guys like Tiny Tiger or Koala Kong are 6-inch and the others are made to scale with them.
First look at an early prototype from the NECA Twitter, featuring articulated eyebrows!

Crash Bandicoot Figure Revealed by NECA - The Toyark - News

My girlfriend's gonna go ga-ga over this. She loves Crash.
ohh kool an update on crash. already wrote the release date on my want list. this i have to buy! he will look good next to my Sonic. thanks for the update Joe
been waiting for this. it looks great and i'm very impressed they articulated the head and body so cleanly, but a cardstock crate is the only accessory? that is weak
Loved this game. Kinda surprised Crash isn't being released with Aku Aku. Maybe they are saving him to release with Coco.
Looks really nice! I can't wait to see what other figures outside of Crash NECA may do.
I only hope that this figure is under the $19 price range. While NECA undoubtedly gives you some of the best bang for your buck, their prices have been steadily creeping up and up...
I also have the feeling that after enough versions of Crash are released that NECA is just going to pull an "ultimate" on us and re-release him with all of the varying headsculpts/ accessories plus a new cardstock accessory.
hope they make this guy

Yes! Looks awesome. I'm not a huge fan of this particular facesculpt (and the fact that they openly admit they will release dozens of versions of this guy, all with different ones) but I'm still very excited for this.
Especially that they plan to make this a line. They could stop after Coco and Cortex mind you, but if they could get to some of the boss mutants, that would be epic.
Also, yeah, the accessory count isn't the greatest. But I assume they save those to sell the other characters better as many people might plan to only buy Crash himself.
Could be exclusives they sell elsewhere, different iterations like Crash with the jetpack, biker gear etc. or just later releases with new accessories.
Awesome, now please give us a Jak and Daxter too! From the first game hopefully.
since we are on the topic of video game charcters. they should make a figure of Rayman
I'll definitely grab this release and another if they do a more classic looking head. An Aku Aku will be a must sooner than later for me.
sidenote:: does anyone remember that oldie but goodie game called 'Crazy Taxi' they should make the vehicle from that game, ill buy it (that game was like a crazier mario cart)
