In Honor of Mother’s Day – the Top Three Moms Who Deserve Action Figures

It was a slow day for AFP yesterday, as I was on the road taking my wife and her mom to Las Vegas as a little Mother’s Day celebration. As we were sitting at the gate waiting to board the plane, I thought about action figures of mothers. And came up with one. Pamela Voorhees, from Friday the 13th, was the only one I could recall. And actually, there were at least two made of her. In 2005, NECA came out with deluxe set for the movie’s 25th anniversary, with Jason and his dear old mom (pictured above, courtesy of BigBadToyStore). Sideshow made a 1/6 scale version – see Michael Crawford’s review of Pamela Voorhees.

So, what other mothers deserve action figures? Before getting called to board the plane, I came up with three.

Is NECA Owning 1/4 Scale? Reveals Man of Steel Superman Figure

We just saw the tweaks NECA is making to their 18-inch Adam West Batman, and they’ve now released a preview of their upcoming quarter scale Henry Cavill Superman from Man of Steel. While I’m not as taken with the likeness on this figure as I am with the one on Mattel’s Man of Steel Movie Masters, nevertheless I am thoroughly impressed with the rest of the sculpt and the amount of articulation (30+ points!) we’re seeing in a figure this size. (Click on the image for the full view.)

I imagine that this figure will see tweaks, just like the Adam West Batman did, so I’m not too concerned about the likeness at this point. NECA says this massive 18-inch+ Man of Steel figure is due out in July.

NECA Teases Upgrades to the Quarter Scale Adam West Batman – Burt Ward Robin in the Works?

NECA teased some upgrades to the 18-inch Adam West Batman that already looked impressive when we saw it at Toy Fair. In addition to some tweaks to the head sculpt, it looks like Bats will come with Batusi hands and fists. And could it be? Is that a Burt Ward Robin head sculpt at his feet? Also, you’ve gotta love the kitbashes the guys in the studio have come up with. (Click on the image for the full view.)

Since Toy Fair we refined the head & added multiple pairs of hands. Super poseable too. Check this out & enjoy – Adam West

NECA is Giving Away a Full Set of Predator Series 9

NECA has been kicking ass with its ass-kicking Predator figures, and just like Predators series 8 (Entertainment Earth), the ninth wave has got a Double Dutch helping.

Scheduled to arrive in June, NECA is celebrating by hosting a giveaway of a full set of the figures. And for your chance to win, all you have to do is get a little down and dirty. You’ve got until May 3rd to enter.

Toy Fair 2013: NECA Lone Ranger

Yes, I still have Toy Fair pictures, and I need a break from all the Iron Man hoopla. And what could be a better respite from hi-tech armor than an old-fashioned gunslinger and his faithful Indian companion? I’d hoped by now to hear more about NECA’s Lone Ranger toys, but I suppose with the movie pushed back to a July 3 opening, we still have a couple of weeks before we should start to see some product hit retail shelves.

At Toy Fair, NECA promoted two lines – one in 7-inch scale and one in 1/4 scale (like the NECA 1/4 scale Batman figures). What they had on display, however, was a bit confusing. I don’t think the larger figures are the 1/4 scale figures – they looked a little too small for that to me. I actually think those are 2-ups for the 7-inch figures. Entertainment Earth and BigBadToyStore have the 7-inchers estimated to arrive some time in May.
