NECA They Live John Nada 019

In 1988, John Carpenter released They Live. In the cult classic film, a nameless drifter (now known as John Nada) moves from city to city, taking any jobs that he can. He’s a man just looking to get by. After taking a job on a construction site, he comes across sunglasses that reveal the truth about the world he lives in. Humanoid aliens have infiltrated every aspect of society. The use subliminal messaging to keep the population unaware of their presence. The specialized lenses in the glasses block out the alien signal, and reveals not only the messaging on our every day advertising, but who among us is one of the ghouls. As Nada takes justice into his own hands, he comes across a group of rebels who stand against the invaders, and look to alert humanity to the danger around them.

Coming later this year is their figure based on “John Nada“, one of the heroes of the film played by the late Rowdy Roddy Piper. The figure will eventually be joined by Frank Armitage, who was played by the excellent Keith David. Our friends at NECA have sent over an advanced sample of the Nada figure.

NECA Retro Ghostface Figure 015

In the Scream film franchise, the Ghost Face persona is shown with a haunting white mask and a Halloween costume cloak. Ghost Face’s look can be easily imitated by anyone. This allows the killers to change from film to film, revealing themselves only when they feel their plan to kill Sydney Prescott (Neve Campbell) is announced to the audience. The new 8″ scale Ghost Face figure from NECA pays homage to the character’s appearance from the entire franchise, as opposed to a single film. The figure is an updated version of the 8″ scale Ghost Face that was released back in 2014. The figure includes a fabric outfit, a knife, a voice changer, and a swap out right hand.

The Ghost Face 8″ Scale Clothed Figure is now shipping to retailers, and should hit shelves within the next two weeks. Our friends at NECA have sent over a sample for review. After the jump, you can see our photo gallery and thoughts on the figure.

NECA Iron Maiden Powerslave Eddie 016

In September 1984, Iron Maiden released Powerslave, their fifth studio album. It contained hit songs like 2 Minutess 2 Midnight and Aces High. The cover art for the album featured an Egyptian theme, with Eddie as the centerpiece of a massive monument. The theme was carried over to the subsequent World Slavery Tour, which ran from August 1984 until July 1985. The Egyptian themed Eddie became part of the band’s set for the duration for the tour.

NECA Toys took the album cover and imagery from the world tour, and used it to create their own version of a Pharaoh Eddie. The figure is part of their 8″ scale clothed figure line. It is set to ship out to stores later this month. Our friends at NECA have sent over the figure. After the jump, you can see my thoughts and a photo gallery.

Halloween 2 Clothed Michael Myers 039

In October 1981, the highly anticipated Halloween II was released in theaters. The follow up to the genre defining Halloween continues moments after the events of the first film. After Dr. Loomis shoot Michael Myers numerous times, he and Laurie Strode are horrified to see that Michael has survived and has fled the scene. An injured Laurie is transported to a Haddonfield Memorial Hospital. Michael, in a quest to finish what he started, stalks the halls of the hospital. As he attempts to locate the injured Myers, Dr. Loomis learns a terrible truth. Laurie Strode is actually Michael’s sister, and Michael seems to have learned that fact as well. Loomis and Laurie confront Michael together, hoping to stop his rampage and end the nightmare. The events of the film were eventually retconned in Halloween 2018, removing the relationship between Michael and Laurie, and erasing all the sequels from canon.

Last October, NECA released the excellent Halloween II – Ultimate Michael Myers Figure. At Toy Fair earlier this year, we learned that a few new Halloween II items were on the way, as part of their retro clothed line. The selection will include Michael Myers, and a 2-pack of Dr. Loomis and Laurie Strode. Today, thanks to our friends at NECA, we have an exclusive in-hand photo gallery and review of the upcoming Halloween II – Michael Myers 8″ Scale Clothed Figure. Read on to see the photo shoot and my thoughts on the figure.

NECA Sgt D Figure 027

Stormtroopers of Death (aka S.O.D.) is a satirical thrash metal band featuring Anthrax members Scott Ian and Charlie Benante, ex-Anthrax bassist Dan Lilker, and M.O.D.’s Billy Milano. They focused on intentionally over the top and offensive lyrics that brought them both notoriety and controversy. Though they never intended for anyone to take the lyrics seriously. The idea came as Scott Ian would sketch out a comic-like villain of a skull in an army helmet known as Sargent D. The sketches would feature slogans, and eventually lyrics that would become the basis for the bands songs, with Sgt. D becoming the bands mascot.

NECA is releasing an action figure of Sargent D, based on artwork from the bands first album “Speak English or Die”. The 8″ scale clothed figure includes a removable helmet and a rifle. Our friends at NECA have sent over the figure for review. After the jump, check out my thoughts and photo gallery.
