Note: In light of the economic situation and in gratitude to collectors and fans, NECA is proud to announce that for the sixth consecutive year the prices for our Exclusives will remain the same at the low price of $20 each.
Due to the increased costs of freight and storage at the convention site itself, we’re bringing in smaller edition sizes on all of our exclusives. For those unable to attend the San Diego Comic Con, we will be offering limited quantities online through the NECA store on Amazon.com. Watch for more details closer to the event.
NECA has announced the latest series of Gears of Wars figures.
War On All Fronts
Due out late July, our fourth series of figures based on the wildly popular Gears Of War 2 coincides with the release of the brand new All Fronts Collection for Xbox 360 The series features four figures from the game and of course enough firepower to blast Locust into oblivion!
With interchangeable heads, Dom and Marcus each represent COG in Theron disguise from the Road To Ruin mission with improved elbow articulation and Lancer weapons that can peg into their backs, for those times when theyre not raining down destruction on the Horde.
An armored Locust Grenadier Elite comes with a peggable Gnasher shotgun, and NECAs biggest Gears Of War figure yet, the helmeted Locust Grenadier Flamethrower includes a Scorcher flamethrower and fuel tank backpack! And for anyone who cant get enough Gears, theres the Ticker with classic motorized “pull-back-and-go” action!
The All Fronts Collection drops July 28. Stay tuned to NECA for more info and news on figures to come!
Capitalizing on the upcoming Terminator: Salvation movie, opening May 21st, NECA has announced four new figures based on T2: Judgment Day. Three 7-inch scaled figures will feature new tooling and articulation. The fourth figure is in the 12-inch scale.

New T2 Figures Unleashed!
Just in time for the release of Terminator: Salvation, NECA is proud to unveil a brand new series of 7″ figures based on James Cameron’s groundbreaking T2: Judgment Day! All three figures feature new editions of the T-800, including two new Arnolds with interchangeable heads!
The still-terrifying Endoskeleton has a newly tooled head and improved articulation, with over 20 moving parts and a Plasma Rifle accessory. A leather-clad Pescadero Escape T-800 comes with a ball-jointed neck, shoulders, elbows and wrists and is packing heat in the form of a Winchester Shotgun. And last but not least, the Man or Machine T-800 boasts a ball-jointed neck and shoulders, as well as swivel biceps, waist and boots, and a pistol, in case Robert Patrick should happen along.
A 12″ version of the Pescadero Escape T-800 will be released in June, and the 7″ figures will be back in late summer/early fall with a whole new second series!
Peter Laird announced on his blog that April O’Neil will be one of NECA’s exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con. The San Diego exclusive will come two Mousers – one battle-damaged and one featuring an articulated jaw. April will also be released this fall as a single-carded figure, but only with a single battle-damaged Mouser, according to earlier reports.
A nifty nugget of NECA news…
I got an email from Steve Murphy yesterday, with some information which was sent to him from Randy Falk at NECA. Here are the pertinent quotes from Randy, along with an image:
NECA TMNT April O'Neil with Mousers
I just wanted to send over an image of our SDCC exclusive for this summer.
It will be a brand new April O’ Neil figure that comes with a Battle Damaged Mouser and a Regular Mouser with a new head featuring an articulated jaw.
This is the first non Turtle figure in the NECA TMNT collection
This version of April will be available at San Diego Comic Con this July.
We are going to try to make arrangements to offer a small amount of figures online for those who can not attend SDCC.
Pretty cool! I look forward to putting these on my shelf next to the NECA Turtles. — PL
