News – NECA Aliens Light-up Egg with launching Facehugger Packaging Shot

NECA tweeted a photo of their upcoming Aliens light-up egg with launching facehugger. The shot shows off how it will look in its packaging. Sadly, because of the light-up and launching features, it won’t be in scale with the current line of 7″ NECA Aliens figures, but it should make a cool display piece.

Ask Mattel – Answers for September 16th, 2013

Mattel Mattycollector Logo

Jay asks: Does Mattel have the rights to utilize the MOTU looks in the new DC Masters of the Universe comic book? Would it be possible to get figures of these designs somewhere down the line, possibly as an SDCC exclusive set or something?

We do, but right now we are focused on using every slot to complete the vintage roadmap by the end of 2015.

 

superpowersfan asks: You stated the 66 batman line is done for now after catwoman. Does this mean the line is over forever or are you looking at doing more figures down the road?

The NECA Predator 2 Trophy Wall is Incredible!

I recently picked up the NECA Predator 2 Trophy Wall display and it is truly amazing. I haven’t had the time to do a real review, but I couldn’t resist taking this awesome photo and showing it off. I used some gels over my lights to get the red glowing effect that the inside of the Predator ship had at the end of Predator 2. If you’re a fan of the NECA Predator figures, then you need this display piece in your collection. If you’re wary of getting it because you don’t have any of the trophy skulls to adorn your trophy wall, then fret not because NECA has you covered. They have a set of all the trophy skulls in one pack that they’re selling on their eBay store right now. Just click the links below to get a set of the trophy skulls and the trophy wall to really spice up your NECA Predator collection!

News – NECA Teases Possible Rambo 2 Action Figure

NECA posted a picture of a behind the scenes of an in-progress sculpt for an unnamed figure. The photo shows off a shirtless male torso with scars on the chest and wearing what looks to be the jade necklace that Rambo wears in First Blood Part 2. NECA was being very coy in the tweet and did not spill the beans on what character the sculpt is for, though it seems pretty unbelievable that it could be anyone but John Rambo from First Blood Part 2. When it’s fully revealed what this figure is, you can bet it will be posted here.
