Year of NECA



Time was that McFarlane Toys was the absolute shit when it came to movie authentic looking toys... and NECA had lots of ground to cover... well with one well-timed toy at San Diego Comic Con 2013 they kickstarted a whole new revolution of toys with figures in their 8-bit color schemes which has taken off like wildfire. It started with Jason then it went to Freddy then it went onto Robocop
and then the Predator...
NECA toy above and NES screen below
...then they went all out on the Mego-styled Jason known as the #trujason which was a Toys R Us exclusive and hard as fuck to track down but was a bigger and slightly different variation from the SDCC '13 exclusive figure....

Next up in this great series of releases are Batman
...why yes Castle Geekskull, suddenly Wild! Berry Pop-Tarts
do sound good all of a sudden...
and Rambo

My only hope is someday for an 8-bit Godzilla...
