Friday The 13th Corpse Pamela NECA 017

In Friday The 13th Part 3, once Jason is defeated, Chris Higgins, the final girl from the movie, having finally escaped Jason on a boat on Crystal Lake. There, she  has a dream where she hallucinates being chased by a still alive Jason Voorhees, looking to exact his revenge. As she tries to escape on the boat, the decomposing corpse of Pamela Voorhees leaps from the water and pulls her into Crystal Lake. The ending is an homage to the first film, where a child-like Jason jumps from the water.

NECA is releasing a new figure based on this scene. Their Friday The 13th Part 3 – Corpse Pamela Voorhees 8″ Scale Figure is shipping now to retailers, and has begun to show up in stores.

NECA Godzilla 1964 Figure 032

Making its way to retailers now is the latest Godzilla 12″ Head-To-Tail Figure by NECA Toys. Their latest addition to the Godzilla line up is based on his appearance in Mothra vs Godzilla (1964). The figure is packed in all-new flapped window box packaging. The figure is already available directly from the NECA eBay Store and the NECA Amazon Store. However, it should hit retail shelves within the next week or so.

In the film, a greedy land developer uses large machines to begin emptying parts the ocean near Tokyo. His plan is to use the new land for a series of luxury condos. During a hurricane, the massive egg of Mothra is displaced from Infant Island. It drifts to Tokyo and washes up on its shore. The developer uses the egg a a tourist attraction. Tiny twin girls known as the Shobijin reveal themselves, and beg for the egg to be returned to its home, fearing the hatch lings could wreak havoc in search of food.

When Godzilla reemerges, an dying Mothra is sent to help protect Tokyo by the Shobijin. After a fierce battle, Mothra is killed, and Godzilla continues his rampage. When all seems lost, the egg hatches and two Mothra Larvae emerge and follow Godzilla to Iwa Island. There they trap him with their silk spray, and force Godzilla to return to the sea once more. After the battle, the Shobijin take the Larvae to Infant Island where they belong.

NECA They Live Ghouls 042

The NECA Toys They Live 8″ Scale Figure 2-Pack has just hit the NECA eBay Store and the NECA Amazon Store. To commemorate the release, we have an advanced look at the set. In John Carpenter’s cult classic They Live, a nameless drifter (now known as John Nada) is just looking to get by, working any jobs he can. While taking a job on a construction site, he comes across sunglasses that reveal a terrible truth. The specialized lenses block out an alien signal that shows that Earth has been infiltrated by strange looking aliens, masquerading as humans. The aliens are using subliminal messaging to lull the world into a false sense of security, allowing the ghouls to go by unnoticed. As Nada takes justice into his own hands, he comes across a group of rebels who stand against the invading ghouls, and look to alert humanity to the danger around them.

The new 2-pack features two of the “ghouls” from the film. The male and female aliens are revealed at the end of the film, when the world is shown the true appearance of those among them. The figures are part of the retro style clothed figure line. The set includes a magazine and a newspaper with the hidden massages on the front and back. Also included is a TV set that showcases a ghoul masquerading as a politician.

Not only have our friends at NECA supplied us with the figure, but they have confirmed that more figures based on They Live are in the works! They hinted that the likeness rights may have been acquired for some of the cast. After the jump, you can check out my thoughts and photos for the set.

Mafex Wick 2 46

Tell them all. Whoever comes, I’ll kill them. I’ll kill them all.  John Wick movies have been some of my favorite non sci-fi, non-hero based movies in recent memory, and the merch keeps coming!  We shot MAFEX’s first release (see our first John Wick gallery here), along with DST’s John Wick Select, and now we have MAFEX’s entry for John Wick Chapter 2.  This version is very similar to the first body wise, with slightly better head sculpts and paint.  He also comes with Dog, not a dog, but Dog, proper which he picked up at the end of the first movie.  His look is an all black suit with white shirt and tie this time, matching his look for much of the second movie.  Weapons include a shotgun, rifle, 2 pistols and an extra hand with a pencil.  A f*****g pencil! 

All in all it’s a solid release, and copping depends on your scale.  Mafex is a small 1/12, while DST is a very large 7 inch scale.  So pick your poison.  Read on to check out over 45 HD images showing his skills courtesy of Entertainment Earth! He’s in stock and shipping now!

Siege at Bjorngarr 1

Mythic Legions by the Four Horsemen continue dropping new figures and expanding the line that started back in 2015.  It’s fantasy based theme works well with fans of LOTR, Dungeons and Dragons, World of Warcraft and the like.  At the 1/12 scale, they have a wide range of mythical creatures and human warriors to pick from.  I’ve said before, Fantasy style figs aren’t normally my thing, but as I’ve grown into 1/12 as my primary collection scale, these figures were too well done not to jump on.  So, I’ve been grabbing random select figures from each new wave they offer.  The latest wave to drop was titled Siege at Bjorngar and featured:

  • Kkurzog – (Ogre)
  • Bolthor the Tower – (Half Giant Barbarian)
  • Ogre Legion Builder – (Ogre Troop Builder)
  • Faustia – (Female Cleric)
  • Thwikk – (Goblin Archer)

It was a smaller wave, but the key here was a new size class that featured the first Giant and first Ogre. They are humanoid in style, one a Giant which is basically a really big human, and one is an Ogre.  I grabbed Kkurzog, a specific character Ogre, and Bolthor the Tower, also a specific character in their lore.  They also offered a generic Ogre troop builder but he is not featured here today.   Read on to check out over 50 pics of the two to show how they stack up with other figs, in the line and across brands!

Make sure to keep an eye on SourceHorsemen.com as well, they plan to relaunch soon with new features and info!

Marvel Legends Bro Thor Thorbowski

The Endgame has come and gone, but we are still getting figures from the epic conclusion to the Infinity Saga. One of the recent waves of Marvel Legends to drop was Endgame wave 3 which featured a solid movie line up – Iron Man Mk 85 with Hulk sized Infinity Glove, Captain America in his Movie 1 costume, Endgame War Machine in Iron Patriot deco, a translucent Vision, Heimdall in his later series get up, and Valkyrie in full battle gear. The Build A Figure – Thor in his crisis mode aka Bro Thor aka the Big Thorbowski!

For movie fans it’s a great wave, no filler. The Build A Figure is one I wanted on first sight back at SDCC 2019. Did it need to be a BAF? No. But, I did grab the whole wave to get him so I guess those guys are smart over there. This wave is out in the wild now, check the full gallery showing all the figures after the break courtesy of Dorkside Toys!

z NECA Godzilla Reissues

When NECA renewed their license with Toho ahead of the release of Godzilla: The King of the Monsters, it gave them a bit of extra freedom with the license. One of the biggest changes was that they were no longer required to use the Bandai style guide for their packaging. The first few years of releases all featured the same exact packaging. New Godzilla figures are being released in flapped window boxes, featuring poster artwork from the corresponding films. NECA is also re-releasing many of their older Godzilla figures in with completely updated packaging. Those reissues include Godzilla figures from Godzilla (1954), Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001), Godzilla vs Space Godzilla (1994), and Godzilla vs Destroyah (1995).

Our friends at NECA have sent along the figures for us to check out. After the jump, you can find a quick review and photo gallery for the figures.
