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.

News – NECA Reveals Alien 35th Anniversary Nostromo Spacesuit Figure

Never let it be said that NECA isn’t going all out on their Alien and Aliens figures. To help celebrate the 35th anniversary of the 1979 film Alien, NECA is releasing an action figure of one of the Nostromo crew inside a spacesuit. From what I can gleam, this is just going to be a generic Nostromo astronaut in the spacesuit, and you won’t get to see anyones’ face. If that changes I’ll be sure to let you all know here. This seems to be a good way to get some figures from the original Alien movie though, since Sigourney Weaver won’t allow her likeness used for a new Ripley figure.

News – Quick Preview of NECA Aliens Bishop Action Figure In Progress

One of the reasons that NECA is one of the coolest action figure companies out there is that they love throwing early teasers up on the web, usually on their Twitter and Facebook pages. This is one of those occasions. NECA put up a photo on Twitter of their sculptor Jason Frailey hard at work on several projects. There seems to be a lot of Easter Eggs in the pic, but one that a lot of people are going to be interested in, myself included, is an in-progress sculpt of the upcoming NECA Aliens Bishop action figure. You can spot it right away in the picture. I know it’s a very early sculpt, but it already has me excited!

EBay Find – Obitsu Doll Stand, Perfect For Action Figures!

I thought I would share this for all my fellow action figure enthusiasts out there. If you’re in need of some action figure stands, these are the best I’ve ever used. They pop up sometimes on eBay, and they’re great. They’re called Obitsu doll stands, and they’re from China. They’re clear, multi-jointed, and have two different sized clips to accommodate several different sized action figures. They’re cheap too.

I have a bunch that I’ve bought over the years, and they’re perfect for flying characters, or just making a scene more action packed. If you have Marvel Legends, DC Universe Classics, or even Japanese imports like Figma, Figuarts, or Revoltech, then the Obitsu stands really are perfect.

Out of all the different figure stands that have been made over the years, the Obitsu stands are hands down my favorite. The seller seems to have a bunch in stock right now too, so if you need several, then you’re in luck! I hope this helps out anyone in need of some awesome action figure stands. To buy the Obitsu stands, just CLICK HERE or the photo below.

News – Damian Wayne Robin Added to 2014 Club Infinite Earths!

Mattel just revealed on their Mattycollector Facebook page that the canceled Damian Wayne Robin figure would be in the 2014 Club Infinite Earths subscription for the DC Universe Signature Collection! This figure was originally slated for a retail release in the Batman Unlimited line, but both Batman Unlimited and DC Unlimited have been cancelled, and with them some figures that fans were looking forward to. Damian Wayne was revealed earlier this year to much fan excitement, but when it was cancelled a lot of fans immediately started asking Mattel to include him in the subscription for the 2014 Club Infinite Earths. Well it looks like those people got their wish, because it’s happening.
