NECA They Live Frank Figure 004

Shout Factory has opened up pre-orders for their exclusive Frank Armitage 8″ Scale Retro Clothed Figure from the movie They Live. The figure is available as a stand alone release, or as a bundle with the film. The Frank figure features the authorized likeness of actor Keith David. It includes a fabric outfit, a pair of sunglasses, and two guns. It’s limited to just 4,000 pieces and is priced at $39.99 for the stand alone figure. Look for it to be released in December. Prices vary for the bundle depending on which you buy. Check out the details and pre-order links below. You can see a few images after the jump.

DELUXE OFFER: THEY LIVE [Collector’s Edition] + Exclusive NECA Action Figure + Poster + Exclusive Vinyl – $94.99

They influence our decisions without us knowing it. They numb our senses without us feeling it. They control our lives without us realizing it. They Live.

For the first time ever in action figure form, “Frank” as portrayed by Keith David in John Carpenter’s sci-fi classic They Live is available in the 8″ Clothed action figure format. A perfect complement to NECA’s “John Nada”/Roddy Piper action figure (available in November 2020), Frank comes with two accessory machine guns, and is dressed in a purple sweater, khaki pants, and special sunglasses to see right through the aliens’ disguise. The figure will be housed in a collectible retro box packaging featuring original theatrical art.

This ShoutFactory.com exclusive NECA figure, authorized and approved by actor Keith David, is a limited edition of 4,000 units.

    NECA seems to be abandoing plastic figures for the MEGO style. Aliens and Pred are money, but other properties......

    I am okay with it if it gets us characters like this, and the head sculpts look good. Just letting everyone know what is going with NECA.

    They’re not “abandoning” plastic figures

    I honestly don't think it's possible to not love Keith David. The guy is just awesome.

    It's the fight that wouldn't end...until he got an action figure WITH the glasses ON. LOL. That movie is deep.

    I challenge anyone to watch “men at work” and not want that man as your neighbor. Guy is a legend as far as I’m concerned.

    Absolutely. Any time someone actually asks "who?" when I'm discussing him it almost feels like someone punched me. Usually if I describe some of his roles, they'll be like "oh yeah", but just the fact that he's not a household name for some is a tragedy.

    The good news is that Shout does have the figure available to purchase separately. The occasion here is that They Live is being released in 4k UHD Blu-Ray format in the US. I already have the overseas 4k release from Studio Canal, so it is nice they're not limiting this figure to those who purchase a bundle.

    The bad news is that the total comes out to $47 shipped, which is giving me pause. I'd like to see more images to get a better understanding of the likeness. I do want a Keith David action figure, but the pricetag is a bit steep.

    Yeah, I'll wait til someone shrinks the head down to 7" scale, pop it on a CW Captain Cold body, and have a passable Childs from The Thing haha

    Unlike Rufus with their Bill and Ted release from a few years back.

    Aaaannndddd NECA found a way to fuck up YET AGAIN!!!

    Seriously, fuck you, NECA. The only way we can order this figure is for $47 shipped (as pointed out above) via Shout Factory? Fucking assholes with your bullshit exclusives.

    I would have preferred a wider release for this, but even I will admit that a Keith David figure from They Live has limited appeal. Maybe a Shout Factory release of limited to 4000 units was the only way that NECA could make the numbers work financially?

    The more I think about it, the more I'm leaning toward getting this figure. It is likely the only way I'll own a Keith David figure anytime soon.

    Less appeal than, say, a Chop Top figure? I doubt that. Yet a worthless character like Chop Top (no offence to Bill Moseley, but TCM2 sucks) gets a wide release and Keith David doesn't?

    As with all Shout Factory exclusives made by NECA, Shout Factory wants them, orders them, and buys them from NECA. The price is set by Shout Factory.

    Are you saying that this figure might not even have existed if Shout Factory didn't ask for it?
