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.

NECA Candyman Clothed Figure 027

The original Candyman film was released in 1992. It was based on a story by Clive Barker called “The Forbidden”. The film follows a grad student named Helen Lyle, played by Virginia Madsen, researching urban myths. One that catches her attention is the story of Candyman. Legend says that if you say his name five times in a mirror, he will appear and kill the one who summoned him, using a hook on the stump of his right hand.

NECA Night of the Demons Set 029

When Scream Factory announced their Night Of The Demons – Deluxe Limited Edition Steelbook in 2018, they revealed that they worked with NECA to create an exclusive figure on Angela, one of the central characters of the film. After the success of that release, Scream Factory teamed up with NECA again to create a new limited edition release from the movie.

Trick r Treat Sam Retro and Ultimate 049

Today I have another catch up photo gallery for a pair of figures that were released in the last quarter of 2019. In this update, I’m taking a look at the excellent Retro 8″ Scale and Ultimate 7″ Scale versions of Sam from Trick ‘r Treat. For those unfamiliar with the film, Trick ‘r Treat is an anthology horror film by writer and director Michael Dougherty, who is directed Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Sam is featured in the film as the character that ties each of the stories together. He is a child-like devious creature. If you break the rules of Halloween, then you’ll pay the price. While the film was immediately a fan favorite with horror fans, its growing status as a modern cult classic seems to draw in new fans as the years go by.  Sam is known for his small stature, his orange pajamas, and the burlap sack he wears on his head.

The figures come courtesy of Toyark sponsor Entertainment Earth. After the jump, check out my thoughts and all of the hi-res photos in the gallery. The figures are in stores now.

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.
