Dang. TNI has a new pic from NECA of what seems to be the production piece for their new Ninja Gaiden II Ryu figure. And… wow! They went articulation crazy on this guy! Reminds me of the old ToyBiz days. Good for NECA. He has a tentative release date of September, but I am so preordering this guy today.
If you’re jonesing for some of these uber-excellent Four Horsemen FANTastic Exclusive Seventh Kingdom Anitherian Nine figs (what a mouthful…) then your time is nigh! The 4H stated today that they will be putting up the latest exclusive - the pink elephant “Chalice of Guudenuph” (I love that name. “Hey man, how about a pink one? Will that work? Sounds good enough to me! Done!”) - for sale at their online store this coming Tuesday night at 12:00am ET. They’ll also be putting up a few Ramathorr’s and a limited number of full sets of the nine for sale, so stay up late on Tuesday and be sure to get your order in!
So, this year’s SDCC is already shaping up to be the most expensive (in terms of awesome exclusives) ever, and now NECA has made things even worse (better) by unveiling a Mouser 3pack from their TMNT line. I’m hoping the pic to the left is an early sort of promo deal and not the final shot. I really hope these guys get done up with some articulation. At least poseable hips, knees, and ankles… and, of course, some working jaw action! NECA has a complete release on these here.
So, now that we’re in the era of making every action figure as poseable as possible, we’re seeing a lot of interesting properties pop up with superarticulated figures - like the recent TMNT and BSG and Ninja Gaiden figs and what-not. And now NECA has busted out with a super-poseable Alien figure that stands 9″ tall and boasts 20 points of articulation! I’m pretty darn impressed with this thing. NECA is fast becoming one of my new favorite toy companies! See more pics at NECA’s site.
I got a hold of two of the four turtles from NECA’s first series of new TMNT figs… and man, I’m really liking them! I’ve got the partial review up (Leo and Mike) in the Indie section. So click over to read my geeky thoughts about how awesome these are!
