The newest IT (2017) collectibles from NECA hit stores over the next few weeks. The Pennywise Accessory Set should be available in stores within the week, and the Dancing Clown Pennywise Ultimate Figure ships out to retailers starting next week. Look for that to be available from stores by early June. As of right now, these look like the final two releases from IT: Chapter One. NECA will be producing figures from IT: Chapter Two as well. That film hits theaters this September, so there should be plenty for Pennywise fans to look forward to.

The Pennywise Accessory Set includes a sewer diorama figure base, complete with a Pennywise bust to place inside. The set also includes a Pennywise doll based on the “cameo” of the 1990 Pennwyise, a Pennwyise Jack-In-The-Box, a severed Georgie arm, a paper boat, and a red balloon. The Dancing Clown Pennywise Figure includes four interchangeable portraits, swap out regular and insect forearms, and two sets of hands.

Our friends at NECA have provided us with these two IT: Chapter One items. I combined them together for a massive photo shoot. Check out the photos and review after the jump.

While the attempted relaunch of The Predator franchise didn’t quite resonate with fans or movie goers, the film did provide all new Predator designs for collectors and fans. The Fugitive Predator was the focus of the marketing, but the most dangerous creature in the film was the “Ultimate” Predator, who is also known as the Armored Assassin Predator. In the film, it’s concluded that the Yautja have been split into rival factions. The majority opting for genetic experimentation, taking on the strongest traits of the prey they hunt. While the others feel this is against their code. The Fugitive Predator heads to Earth, in the hopes of bringing a “gift” to mankind that will even the odds against the upgraded Predators looking to take the planet from humanity. The Assassin Predator is larger, stronger, faster and more resistant to attacks.

Our friends at NECA have sent over the Armored Assassin Predator figure for us to check out. The figure is set to hit stores within the next week or so (if it hasn’t shown up already). We have a full photo shoot and review. Check them out after the jump.

For the 10th anniversary of the films release, NECA is revisiting the Friday The 13th reboot with a new Ultimate Jason Voorhees Figure. When the film was originally released in 2009, NECA had produced a figure based on that films Jason. The film tells an all-new origin story that pays homage to the original series. The young disfigured Jason witnesses his mother’s death, causing him to grow up in isolation near Crystal Lake. When young adults trespass on his territory, the now adult Jason meticulously takes out each to protect his land. The film mainly pays homage to the first three films in the original franchise. We see Jason first in the sack mask disguise, and then in a hockey mask that he discovers.

With the new Ultimate figure, NECA resculpted the body from their original release, adding new articulation, packed in more weapons, and modified the unmasked portrait. the figure has just begun to show up in stores. Our friends at NECA have sent along the figure, and you can check out a full photo gallery and review after the jump.

When it originally debuted as a San Diego Comic-Con 2018 Exclusive, the TMNT themed Street Diorama was an instant hit. The set looked perfect for fans looking for unique displays, or (like me) toy photographers wanting an easy to use diorama for their photo shoots. The dio consisted of a multi-level building front. The main floor featured a sidewalk that acted as a base, with two additional floors, each with a bit of rooftop space for figures to stand. The Street Dio was quite large, standing over 18″ tall, and 2′ wide and could easily fit 30 figures. It was clear almost immediately, that this set was going to be highly sought after, and that being an exclusive was going to be problematic. Thankfully, NECA was quick to announce that the diorama would see a general release in the future, but without the Ninja Turtles branding.

I’ve been using the TMNT Street Diorama in photoshoots ever since San Diego Comic-Con. It’s one of my favorite items to use whenever I can. Now, the standard set is available, and we have a gallery and quick review. We picked up the NECA Street Diorama from sponsor Entertainment Earth.

In 1962, Godzilla made his third appearance in theaters, this time, facing off against an equally impressive monster in King Kong. In the film, King Kong is brought to Japan in the hopes of boosting the ratings of a failing Pharmaceutical television show. At the same time, Godzilla is unleashed from his icy tomb (from Godzilla Raids Again) and resumes  his attack on Japan. When King Kong escapes from his captors, the two colossal creatures meet in battle for the first time. The film itself featured a number of firsts for Godzilla. This was the first of many crossovers for Godzilla, who would go on to battle other Kaiju such as Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah over his next few films. The film also marked a major departure from the previous two Godzilla outings, as King Kong vs Godzilla was presented as more of a comedy, this was done to attract families to the movie. The film introduced a number of costume alterations for Godzilla’s design for the first time, severely altering his design. Finally, King Kong vs Godzilla was the first time Godzilla (as well as King Kong) were filmed in full color.

It may be a coincidence, or it may not be, but NECA’s Godzilla figure from the King Kong vs Godzilla movie also represents a major first for their line. The figure is NECA’s first Godzilla with completely unique packaging, a nice departure from their prior releases, which shared a pre-done packaging style. This release is part of a new agreement, where NECA has a bit more freedom with the license, and we should see some additional unique releases in the near future.

I picked up the figure from sponsor Entertainment Earth. You can see my reviews and photo gallery after the jump.

The newest additional to the Guillermo del Toro Signature Collection from NECA Toys is The Faun from Pan’s Labyrinth. The mythical figure, also known as Pan, tests Ofelia as she looks to escape the confines of the difficult life she is forced to live. She is never truly sure if she can trust the Faun, and ultimately disobeys his commands. The creature is portrayed by frequent del Toro collaborator Doug Jones, who also portrays the Pale Man in the film. The Faun features a design that pulls elements of the forest into the anatomy of the creature, and has ram-like horns.

The figure, which is officially scheduled to ship out next week to retailers, has actually started to hit some stores this week. Fans have been showing off their purchases on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Our friends at NECA have sent over the figure to check out. After the jump, you will find my thoughts on The Faun and a full photo gallery.

In 1994, Capcom released a side-scrolling beat ’em up arcade game loosely based on the Alien vs Predator comic series. In the game, you can control one of four characters, all with distinct move sets. The playable characters were the Predator Hunter, the Predator Warrior, Major Dutch Schaefer, and Lieutenant Linn Kurosawa. Along the way, the players face off against numerous Alien creatures, who have invaded California. During the sixth level, you face off against the Mad Predator in a boss fight. All-in-all, the game is a fantastic tribute to the Alien and Predator franchises. It’s remembered fondly for it’s quick paced fighting, outstanding visuals, and great character designs. Sadly, the game never received a proper port to home consoles.

Now, 25 years later, fans of the Alien and Predator franchises can relieve the great game via a new series of action figures from NECA Toys. They have broken down the collection into three waves. The first assortment features the Predators from the game; Predator Hunter, Predator Warrior, and the Mad Predator. The second wave will include three Aliens, while the final assortment includes Dutch and Linn. We picked the figures up from sponsor Entertainment Earth. You can check out my review and photo gallery after the jump.
