under Horror Toy News

NECA shared some new photos of the final production version of the Santi 7″ Scale Figure from The Devil’s Backbone. This will be the first release in the Guillermo del Toro Signature Series. Future releases from the line will include characters from Pan’s Labyrinth. Santi is scheduled for release in August. See the new photos by clicking the headline of the story.

NECA is thrilled to announce a new collaboration with renowned director, Guillermo del Toro​! The new GDT Signature Collection will bring select characters from del Toro’s movies to life in premium action figure format with deluxe added elements.

The first release in the collection is Santi, from the haunting film The Devil’s Backbone. “The one who sighs” is super-poseable and comes with a detailed diorama base featuring the bomb that falls into the courtyard of his orphanage.

    Nice, they went with Mignola's artwork for the box that was used for the Criterion release. Can't wait for this!

    Nice packaging. I just hope that these sell in sufficient numbers...I don't know how much this line will appeal to non-Del Toro/horror/fantasy fans.

    That said, I have never seen The Devil's Backbone. Should I?

    I think you've eliminated any interested parties by excluding horror and fantasy fans

    I hope there is a healthy amount of interest at least to keep the line going long enough to get everything we've seen so far. I'm still very anxiously awaiting the Faun to go up for pre-order and I also want the Amphibian Man.

    Yes, highly recommend The Devils Backbone. That and Cronos are I think his best films, though I'm really partial to Hellboy being a fan of the comics, and Pan's Labyrinth of course.

    I kinda worded that very poorly, didn't I? I meant that only Del Toro and horror and fantasy fans would dig these.

    The designs are pretty awesome, so how much they would appeal to general populace is debatable. That said, how much of any of NECA's offerings appeal to the masses? Horror, fantasy, sci-fi, video games, or nostalgia. All of which, I'd suspect, have a built in audience, but does not reach too many others. Maybe the Golden Girls will break that mold.

    It's a common mistake but that cover art for "The Devil's Backbone" was done by frequent Del Toro collaborator Guy Davis. Mignola did the cover art for "Cronos".
