NECA Adds Dead Space to Player Select

If you’re not feeling NECA’s new Batsu vinyl figures for Gears of War, rest assured that they are still making action figures. Dead Space joins NECA’s Player Select line with two Isaac Clarke figures that will feature light-up masks.

You can check out more NECA figures from San Diego Comic-Con here: San Diego Comic-Con 2009 | NECA.

Suit Up With Isaac Clarke

NECA’s premiere series to fill Dead Space on shelves worldwide

In Dead Space, it’s the 26th Century and you’re Isaac Clarke, an engineer sent to repair the interplanetary mining ship USG Ishimura, near the planet Aegis VII. Seems simple enough — another day, another dollar — until the whole thing gets shot to hell and you end up having to fight for your live against zombified Necromorphs while simultaneously uncovering a conspiracy involving the Church of Unitology and wondering just where your girlfriend, Nicole Brennan, who was assigned as a medical specialist to the Ishimura could have got off to.

Sounds like the makings of some serious trouble, but fortunately ol’ Isaac’s got a pressurized suit that along with keeping him alive, goes great with his plasma cutter, flamethrower and ripper. The EA game was a Game Informer game of the month and has picked up numerous awards for its sound design, atmosphere and overall quality. NECA is proud to reveal two new figures of Isaac Clarke based on his appearance in Dead Space.

Both the standard Isaac with the plasma cutter and the bloody variant with the ripper come with a light up LED mask and back and over 20 points of articulation. With ball joints at the neck, shoulders, wrists and ankles as well as ball hinges at the knees and elbows, left swivel biceps, a swivel waist and T crotch with hinged swivel hips, Isaac has the flexibility to take on whoever — and whatever — he might encounter aboard the Ishimura.

NECA’s Dead Space figures are available September 2009 in stores and online at our own Amazon storefront. Stay tuned to necaonline.com for more info on this and other lines from your favorite games and movies.

NECA Announces Urban Vinyl Gears of War Figures

NECA is the latest toy manufacturer to jump on the urban vinyl bandwagon with its new line of Bastu figures for Gears of War. In what traditionally has been the realm of niche designer toy makers like Toy2R, Neca’s Batsu joins Hasbro’s Mighty Muggs, McFarlane’s Odd Pods, and Mezco’s Mez-Itz in the mass and specialty markets. I wonder if Mattel will follow suit with the AttiTUBES they showed at San Diego Comic-Con.

Shifting Gears

NECA announces new BATSU Gears of War figures!

Sure, we’ve got our regular Gears of War figures and they’re awesome, but now things are getting Batsu.

In Japanese, the symbol “batsu,” like the English ‘X’ is used to show something wrong. Like when you get a strike on Family Feud, that’s a batsu. For NECA, it’s a whole new way of experiencing some of your favorite characters and lines, and we’re starting with the three most popular Gears of War combatants in limited production runs (translation: get ’em while you can).

The highly-stylized Batsu versions of Dom, Marcus and The Locust each stand over 5″ tall, are poseable at the neck and shoulders and designed with urban vinyl in mind. They also have the Lancer accessory, and you’ll know them when you see them because of the window box packaging.

Once again, these are limited runs, which means they won’t be around forever. They hit stores next month, so make sure to keep an eye out, and of course they’ll be available online at our Amazon storefront. Keep it tuned to necaonline.com for more info on this and other lines from your favorite games and movies.

McFarlane Announces Action Figures for Prince of Persia Movie

Prince of Persia

I guess I’m not up on my movie news, because I didn’t know that Disney was delving into the video game genre looking for its next summer franchise. I played the original Prince of Persia game that came out in the late 80’s, but haven’t revisited it since. This movie is titled for the 2003 video game from Ubisoft, and Disney and McFarlane must be hoping it’ll spawn many sequels, just as that particular game did.

McFarlane plans to make figures in both the 4-inch and 6-inch scale, and the smaller scale will also get horses (not much in the way of vehicles in ancient Persia, I suppose) and a playset. The figures are planned to hit retail in May next year, around the same time as the movie is planned.

I wonder if Disney will also produce toys exclusive to their Disney Stores, like they did for Pirates of the Caribbean.

Hot Toys Marvel Movie Masterpiece Battle-Damaged Iron Man Mark III Teaser Pic

Here’s your chance, folks – if you didn’t get on board when Hot Toys released its Iron Man Mark III, they’ve just released a teaser pic showing a battle-damaged version of the Mark III suit.

I was reluctant to spend the money the first time and passed, and I’ve been more than a little regretful about it. On this version, I’ll wait to see what the differences are, because I am positive Hot Toys will release another version of the Iron Man suit for the Iron Man 2 movie next summer.

Masters of the Universe Classics Scareglow Press Pics

Mattel has posted pictures of the upcoming Masters of the Universe Classics Scareglow on its Facebook page. We asked them about the Greyskull accessory in the last installment of Ask Matty, but they were still playing it coy. The only clue from the cardback bio is that Scareglow is obsessed with breaking into Castle Grayskull.

Update: The official listing on the Mattycollector sales page lists the accessory as a “Cursed Grayskull reliquary.” Websters defines a reliquary as “a container or shrine in which sacred relics are kept” – perhaps the reliquary keeps Scareglow bound to Eternia in his ghostly form, or in servitude to Skeletor.

I never had a Scareglow when I was a kid, but having all these glow in the dark MOTUC toys (like the ring that comes with Tri-Klops) is making me feel like a kid again. Scareglow goes on sale on November 16th on Mattycollector.com.
