NECA DEC 2019 Previews

Two new behind the scenes previews have been released by NECA Toys. The images give us a new look at two upcoming, highly anticipated releases. First up, they have shared a look at the prototype for their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cartoon Metalhead Figure. For that, they are still finalizing articulation and then the figure heads off to the factory for tooling. No word on official release date for this figure. You can see more of Metalhead from SDCC 2019.

The second preview is for the Alpha Predator figure. The figure was initially meant to be the 100th Predator figure released by NECA. The photo is of the unpainted prototype, but you can see more of that figure from Toy Fair and SDCC 2019. It uses “armor” based on the unused Jean-Claude Van Damme Predator design. The Alpha Predator is due in Spring 2020.

Check out the photos after the jump.

Batman vs Joker Alien NYCC041

At New York Comic-Con 2019, the final two DC Comics vs Dark Horse Comics sets were made available by NECA Toys. While the sets were originally planned as retail releases a few years back, licensing issues popped up, which prevented that from happening. Negotiations with the various rights holders allowed the four planned sets to be released under strict conditions as convention exclusives. The first two sets were available at San Diego Comic-Con 2019 this past Summer. Those sets included Armored Batman vs Predator, and Superman vs Aliens. For NYCC, a Batman vs Joker Alien Set, and a Green Lantern vs Sinestro Corps Predator Set were available.

Today, thanks to our friends at NECA, I’m sharing my photo gallery and review of the Batman vs Joker Alien set. With this set you receive their all-new Batman and a repainted Resurrection Alien Warrior as the Joker Alien. The Batman figure includes a batarang, and an interchangeable hand. After the jump, you can see my thoughts on the set, as well as a full gallery of both figures.
