NECA 1990 TMNT Shredder 046

When the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film was released in 1990, kids were introduced to a serious and intimidating version of The Shredder. Gone were the zany antics of the cartoon version. Oroku Saki was given just enough back story, and just enough screen time, to establish himself as a formidable foe to the Turtles. The costume design paid respect to the original comic version of shredder, with large blades, and more traditional Clothing. To this day, the original live action Shredder remains the best movie version of the character. Fans have been hoping for a collector oriented action figure for years, and those requests have finally been fulfilled.

Courtesy of NECA, The Shredder joins their excellent line up of 1/4 scale figures based on the TMNT 1990 film.  Standing 18″ tall, Shredder includes interchangeable hands, a staff, a removable face mask, a knife, and a cape. We picked the figure up from sponsor Entertainment Earth. Check out my photos and thoughts on the figure after the jump.

NECA Poster Godzilla 019

The iconic creature known as Godzilla originally debuted in Japan in 1954 as Gojira. The film featured groundbreaking visual effects, a haunting score, and a timely story of nature punishing man for experimenting with nuclear weaponry. The film was brought to North America in 1956 and renamed Godzilla: King of the Monsters. The film was re-edited, with a number of scenes and plot points removed. Filmmakers inserted actor Raymond Burr into the film as American journalist Steve Martin, who functioned as the lead of the Americanized version of the movie. A striking poster was released to advertise the film, and it has become one of the most recognizable pieces of art for the U.S. release of the film.

When NECA struck a deal deal directly with TOHO, it gave them a bit more freedom in what they could produce. One of the first items that NECA showcased under the new license was a Godzilla inspired by the original 1956 theatrical poster for the film. Today we have a first look at the new Godzilla 1956 Movie Poster Version! Our friends at NECA have sent over the figure, and we have a full photo gallery and review. Check them out after the jump.

Fans who kept their membership up throughout 2017 had the opportunity to pre-order the Kenner Tribute Purple Alien Warrior. The figures colors are based on the Alien artwork that appeared in Kenner’s card art for the toy line.

The figure has been delayed all through 2018. But I am happy to share some great news with fans who have been waiting for an update. By this Monday, June 10th, the Purple Alien Warrior will begin shipping to customers! Fans in the U.S. will receive theirs directly from NECA.

The final pieces of the Alien vs Predator Arcade Tribute Figures are in stores now from NECA Toys. Earlier this year, the Predator Assortment was released. With the release of the Dutch Schaefer and Linn Kuroswa 2-Pack, as well as the Aliens Assortment, fans have a pretty hefty line up of figures based on the fan favorite video game. In the arcade game, which was released in 1994, you can pick from the Predator Hunter, the Predator Warrior, Major Dutch Schaefer, and Lieutenant Linn Kurosawa. Along the way, the players face off against a wide array of Alien xenomorphs, who have invaded California. The game served as not only a top notch beat ’em up, but a successful merging of the Alien and Predator franchises. It’s remembered fondly for it’s quick paced fighting, outstanding visuals, and great character designs. The game never received a home console port.

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

During filming of The Predator (2018), the third act of the film went through numerous rewrites, reshoots and adjustments. Changes to the back half of the film eventually impacted the base story. In the finished film, the upgraded Assassin Predator is eventually killed by Quinn McKenna and Casey Brackett. But, the initial end of the film could have been far different. An unused, but filmed, concept included a series of “Emissary” Predators that were working with the army. They team up with the humans and help to fight off the Assassin Predator, and the Menagarie of hybrid Predators he unleashes from the crashed Fugitive Predator ship. The Emissary’s were decked out in army camo, using human weapons. Why a creature who can cloak himself needs jungle camo, I’ll never know. Those scenes were ultimately cut from the film, but the Emissary Predators live on in action figure form.

NECA Toys is releasing two figures based on the gun-toting, camouflage clad, Emissary Predators. The first figure should be hitting stores any day now. Our friends at NECA sent over the Emissary Predator #1 Ultimate Figure. You can also grab it now from the NECA eBay Store or the NECA Amazon Store. The figure includes interchangeable heads and hands, as well as a rifle. After the jump, check out my review a photo gallery for the new figure.

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.
