NECA Avengers "Captain America" 1/4 Scale Action Figure

NECA is known for putting out some of the best looking collectibles on the market. Their 1/4 scale figures come with some of the best sculpts in the business and are a great alternative to the more expensive Hot Toys line. NECA's Captain America- Unmasked Battle damaged 1/4 scale action figure is an amazing piece and would be an awesome addition to any collection. 

Based on Captain America's appearance in the first Avengers film, the figure stands at an impressive 18" and has 25 points of articulation. It comes in an impressively designed box that features Cap's shield and "A" on the front and the back features a character description and creator credits. The sculpt on this figure is amazingly detailed; its likeness of Chris Evans is comparable to that of anything that Hot Toys has done. Even the costume is impressively detailed, right down to his boots. The figure comes with interchangeable hands and Cap's iconic shield. 

For all the things that NECA got right with this thing, it's not without its flaws. The weight of this thing makes it, at times, hard to stand up as it is top heavy. Trying to put Cap in certain poses can cause him to fall over. Another issue is paint flaking on the interchangeable hands. Though it's not that big of a deal as it's not visible once the hands are in their socket, it is an issue that some may not be happy about. Beyond that, there isn't anything that I've found to complain about. At a retail price of $99.99, this figure is a steal and can be found on Amazon.

NECA Batman 1989 Video Game Appearance Action Figure

NECA has just released a 7” Batman 1989 Video Game Figure. It’s one in a line of video game figures that NECA has released, including a Predator, Freddy Krueger and RoboCop, among others. I picked this one up from Toys R Us for $24.99. It’s probably one of the best investments I’ve ever made. This figure is just INSANELY cool. I played the Batman video game for hours on end and it takes me all the way back to my middle school days. Back when I could actually sit and play video games pretty much all day. The packaging is even designed to look like the old NES box! This figure is so cool, that I can’t even bring myself to open it. I’m going to have to pick another one up before these disappear just so I can have one to sit on my shelves.

Description via Amazon:

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of both the 1989 film that defined Batman for the modern generation and its video game adaptation, we're proud to announce our first-ever Batman figure in 7" scale! Batman (1989 Video Game Appearance) is the sixth figure in our highly successful line of classic 8-bit video game tributes. Following Michael Keaton's iconic portrayal as Batman in the movie, the side-scrolling game was released in late 1989 for the super popular 8-bit home console and is a true '80s classic. Batman stands 7" tall, with over 25 points of articulation for great poses, plus removable cape, Batarang and Spear Gun accessories. The paint deco takes a stylized approach to reproduce the game's original cel-shaded look. This limited edition figure comes in special window box packaging with opening flap to re-create the look and feel of the classic 1989 video game packaging. One production run only.
