In case you missed it last week, I did two new reviews exclusively for Toy News International. They’re both of the new Prometheus action figures put out by NECA. The Engineer in his Chair Suit, and the Engineer in his Pressure Suit. Be sure to check them out! Thanks.
NECA Toys has recently been putting out a line of figures to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the cult hit movie Evil Dead 2. So far we’ve seen a few variants of the movie’s protagonist, Ash Williams, in various states he found himself in in the movie. With the second series out, NECA has now given us the best and most iconic version of Ash: with his chainsaw hand, or “Hero Ash” as he’s called on the packaging. This is how everyone remembers the character, even though he technically only appeared like this through the climax of Evil Dead 2, and the beginning of Army of Darkness.
McFarlane Toys attempted their own version of Ash from Army of Darkness back in the early 2000’s, but it was rather abysmal. There was really nothing redeeming about that figure at all, so for many fans this is the figure they’ve been waiting for for a very long time. Does it meet expectations and give fans the Ash figure they’ve always wanted? Does it beat McFarlane Toys’ attempt at the character (spoiler alert: yes it does)? Keep reading to find out.
Hey guys, head on over to Toy News International to check out my latest review for them. This time I take a look at a 3 pack of the characters Andrew Agony, Grim Trekker, and Captain Payback from Jakks Pacific’s S.L.U.G. Zombies mini figure line.
NECA sent along this announcement to me today to share with you all. New images of series 1 of the Prometheus action figures, including packaged shots. These figures are set to release in September.
Photos and details after the jump!
