8” Mego Re-Animator Figures Coming From NECA

Longtime fans of Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator rejoice: NECA landed the rights to Re-Animator from Re-Animator Productions and are looking to design 8” Mego figures based on the film.

This is very exciting news, as a lot of fans of the film have been wanting new officially licensed figures for some time now.

There has been no official street date announced nor which figures are being produced yet, but Randy Falk, director of product development for NECA had this to say. “I have been a longtime fan of Re-Animator and know that there are lots of comedy sci-fi collectors waiting for a new Re-Animator figures. It will be a perfect addition to NECA’s line.”

Brian Yuzna, president of Re-Animator Productions and producer of the Re-Animator films, said: “We are excited about our relationship with CLC and its ability to get the Re-Animator brand out to fans internationally. “Re-Animator is a horror classic with a passionate fan base that will be well served by CLC’s relationships with top producers such as NECA.”

Rand Marlis, CEO and president of Creative Licensing, concluded: “Re-Animator is a film about a scientist who invents a way to re-animate deceased bodies. It is full crazy, gory, over the top scenes that fans have come to love. We are excited to continue to build out the merchandise licensing programme for this film.”

There have already been a few figures created for Re-Animator, but only Herbert West. Maybe this time, we can have a few other figures in the line like, Dr. Hill, Dan Cain, or Megan Halsey, or some of the other re-animated souls that West and Cain bring back in the film.

Only time will tell. Hopefully with San Diego Com-A-Con coming up more details will unfold.

Review of NECA’s Terminator 2: Judgement Day 3D T-800

There have been a lot of Terminator figures released since Terminator 2: Judgement Day opened way back in 1991. The original toy line that came out upon the film’s release, were not the best likeness of the actors and were heavily aimed at children – though Terminator 2 was an R rated film, and marketing toys to kids was still a thing back in the 1990s, even if the movie was R rated.

But over the past several years we have been getting figures from some of our favorite movies in with details they we would have never dreamed of years ago.

Case in point: NECA’s T-800 from Terminator 2: Judgement Day 3D

When NECA first announced they were producing a new T-800 to celebrate the release of Terminator 2: Judgement Day in 3D I was excited. The production pictures were fantastic and the likeness to Arnold Schwarzenegger was uncanny – but I remained skeptical as sometimes when the final products hits our shelves it only resembles the actor, but never truly captures their likeness.

How wrong I was.

This may be the best representation of Schwarzenegger I have ever seen in my life. It looks so much like him that it’s like having a mini Ar-nold sitting on your shelf – I’m just waiting for him to say, “I’ll be back,” any moment now.

But it’s not only Arnold’s likeness that they nailed this time, but also some of the small details, like the rose box he carries the shotgun in in the mall when he is tracking down John Connor in the film. The .45 pistol is the same as what he uses in the movie. And the shotgun is exactly the same. His jacket is also riddled with bullet holes after the T-1000 shoots him. It’s fantastic!

Then there is the articulation of the figure. You can practically pose it any way you want, and with over twenty-five points of articulation; your imagination is the limit here as to what you want to do with the figure.

The T-800 also comes with an interchangeable head – one with sun glasses, one without – and both are a stunning likeness to Schwarzenegger.

This is a great addition to any Terminator fan’s action figure collection.

This Halloween, Sam from “Trick ‘ Treat” is Coming…

There are a few thing more joyous than Halloween Night.

The smell of the foliage lingering faintly in the cool October air; air which is scraping at your skin trying to get to the bone beneath the flesh. Hundreds of carved pumpkins lining the sidewalks and stoops of homes; their chilling faces and glowing eyes watching your ever move as if they are the watchful eyes of the departed and damned. A harvest moon glowing above guiding the dead, on their night, to their destinations to torment the living. The voices of children hauntingly echoing through the neighborhood as they near your front door, hoping to score some candy and yelling “Trick or Treat” as they open their candy sacks to you – unless, that is, you’re one of the unlucky few who have been visited by Sam.

Well then my friends, if Sam is on your doorstep you’re in for an interesting night…

But if Sam has never paid a visit to your home (feel thankful he hasn’t) and you’d still like to own the loveable little guy (who has a healthy respect for the rules of Halloween) now is your chance.

Mezco Toyz has just created a 15” Sam from the cult film Trick ‘r Treat.

Mezco’s description of Sam:

Part pumpkin, part supernatural being, it’s Sam, the enforcer of the rules of Halloween. Straight from the cult status film Trick ‘r Treat, Sam shows no mercy to those who disrespect his holiday. He may look child-like and dressed for trick-or-treating, but Sam is the personification of Halloween itself. Standing an impressive 15 inches tall, Sam comes complete with his infamous and mysterious sack as well as his deadly oversized translucent lollipop. Remove his film accurate hood mask to behold his twisted demonic visage. His tattered orange footie pajamas complete the outfit. Sam features over 9 points of articulation, and comes packaged in a specially die-cut window box perfect for display. Just remember, he can watch you from inside the box, so don’t blow out your pumpkin until midnight. Look for Sam to creep into stores in September – November 2017.

The Crimson Screen Collectibles is now accepting preorders for Sam (from Trick ‘r Treat) and you can find the link below to place your order. As it states above the figures will be in stock sometime between September – November of 2017.

But beware, if you don’t obey the rules of Halloween, Sam may be paying you a visit this year with his deadly lollypop . Happy Halloween!
