NECA previously teased us before with some behind the scenes pictures of an upcoming First Blood Rambo figure. Today however, they have revealed via their website NECAonline the full promotional images and product details of the upcoming figure. I don’t know about you, but I sure hope this isn’t just a one time figure, and this marks the start of a full fledged Rambo line from them. I would kill for a Rambo 2 Rambo, not to mention Sheriff Teasle, Colonel Trautman, amongst others. Rambo is set to hit shelves April 2013.

Review – Robocop with Spring Loaded Holster – Robocop, NECA

NECA Robocop with Spring Loaded Holster Action Figure

NECA has been celebrating Robocop with its action figure line for a little while now. So far we’ve gotten three other versions of Robocop (including an homage to the old Night Fighter Robocop from the 80’s). This one marks the fourth, and I’m sure many fans will argue that this is the way NECA should have done Robocop the first time. By this point we’ve gotten so many versions of the main guy that it has fans telling NECA “Stop. Or there will be trouble”. No doubt, it would be great to get some other characters from the movie, but this version of Robocop is not to be overlooked. This one is like the original release of Robocop, except he has a spring loaded holster in his right leg, to match the movie.

So join me as I take a closer look at NECA’s Robocop with Spring Loaded Holster, and see if “I’d buy that for a dollar!”. I’m sorry, I’ll stop that.

Review – Henrietta – Evil Dead 2, NECA

NECA Evil Dead 2 Henrietta Deadite Action Figure Horror Halloween Sam Raimi Bruce Campbell Army of Darkness
To celebrate Evil Dead 2’s 25th anniversary, NECA Toys has been steadily releasing action figures based on the movie. Up until now, they’ve all been variants of Bruce Campbell’s character Ash Williams. However, now we’re getting a brand new character in Henrietta. In the movie, Henrietta was portrayed by Ted Raimi, director Sam Raimi’s little brother. He had to be inside this torturous foam latex fat suit all day, and they reportedly had to frequently drain his sweat from it. That part has no bearing on this review, but if it grossed you out, then I’m just preparing you for this figure. It’s disgusting.

In the movie, Henrietta was the wife of Professor Knowby, the former owner of the cabin that Ash and crew get stuck in. He had read from the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, or Book of the Dead. This released an ancient Evil Force that ended up possessing his wife Henrietta. Professor Knowby was forced to dismember her and lock her in the cellar to save his own life, and with the cabin full of people and the Evil Force stronger than ever, they now have to contend with the lady of the house.

So join me as I take a look a closer look at Henrietta!

Review – Hero Ash – Evil Dead 2, NECA

NECA Evil Dead 2 Army of Darkness Hero Ash Williams 7" Action Figure

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.
