When asked to write up the important showpieces of Toy Fair 2015, I took it very seriously. With 20 years of collectibles reporting behind me, I develop a sort of twitch if I'm not able to dive into the topic fully and completely. That being the case, there was only one company I needed to look to for that same level of love in creating every figure it brings to retail: NECA.
Did you catch NECA's incredible BioShock Infinite Motorized Patriots? What about the army of Gears of War figures, complete with two of the bloodiest toys ever created? NECA loves its work and it shows, and we show them our love by throwing money at them. Get ready for plenty of that impulse as I explore NECA's 2015 video game related lineup.
Blizzard's team brawler brings all its favorite characters into one game, and now, one action figure line! Blizzard action figures used to be brilliant but fairly immobile, statue-like figures. That all changes now. NECA's fully articulated 7 inch action figures kick off with...
Series 1: Summer 2015
Nova
Illidan
Deluxe figure: Stitches
Note: Stitches pictured is actual figure size while the others are two-up prototypes.
Tyrael
Arthas to stores late Summer/early Fall.
This is a new licence for NECA and a new partnership with Sony, which will hopefully lead to more projects down the line. The LittleBigPlanet figures will be released in assortments of three, featuring two Sack Boys and one version with a deco from another video game.
Series 1: June 2015
Happy Sack Boy
Sad Sack Boy
Kratos from God of War
The rest shown are 'possibilities' including Killzone and Uncharted versions. NECA says it hopes to crank out at least six of the eight shown, if not all.
NECA continues its popular salute to classic video games starring our favorite movie characters through 2015. This year's crop includes...
A collaborative effort between two main painters at NECA and Director of Product Development Randy Falk made these little pieces of art a reality. Poring over cut scenes, gameplay, box covers, and title screens gave them plenty of reference to use for the final figure. For instance, Rambo here comes from a couple of different looks inspired by a mash-up of the Nintendo and Sega games. The painter decides on the colors and shading and the group gives input. What's next? Randy says "a bunch more!" No spoilers, apparently.
Dante comes in a deluxe window box with over 35 points of articulation, Ebony and Ivory pistols with removable muzzle bursts, Dante's sword Alastor, a shotgun, and interchangeable hands. The figure goes on sale in May.
Video games heroes, movie protagonists, and more - that's a pretty cool collection. Which icon is going on your shelf this year? Sound off in the comments below!
There's more to see this year, like the for a look at just about everything on the show floor.
