NECA has been producing dolls and action figures of iconic character since 2002, and their showing at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con features a whole new slew of collectibles ranging from recent smash hits to retro-style icons!


First up is the Pacific Rim “End Titles” Jaegar 3-pack, featuring three of Pacific Rim’s fan-favorite Jaegar robots! Standing at 7″ tall each, the set comes with Gipsy Danger, Crimson Typhoon, and Striker Eureka, each of which has been repainted in black, high-gloss finishes to recreate their appearances during the end credits of the film. Each Jaegar even has glow-in-the-dark visors, and will come in a collectible window package with foil slipcover. Priced at $60, this collector’s set is limited to 5,000 pieces, making it a must-have for any diehard Pacific Rim fan!


NECA has been known to make figures of characters that no one expected, and this year’s SDCC lineup does not disappoint with the new figure of Super Freddy! Featured in A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, this 8″ Super Freddy figure comes in a retro monochromatic color scheme and includes actual cloth for his attire. Super Freddy is limited to 5,000 pieces and retails for $40.


In order to commemorate the new Predator: Fire and Stone comic book series by Dark Horse comics, which begins in October 2014, NECA has also create a limited-edition Ahab Predator action figure! Featuring unique new sculpting and designs that will be featured in the upcoming comic book, Ahab Predator stands at 7″ tall and will retail for $25 in a limited edition release of 5,000 pieces.


Also coming to SDCC are exclusive colorways of the Marvel and DC Scalers! These miniature 2″ figures are designed to grip headphone cords, wires, cables, and more! These SDCC exclusive two-pack releases will be priced at $10, and feature previous Scaler releases in new colors: Silver Centurion Iron Man and Marvels Spider-Man, and Monochrome Batman and Joker!


Finally, NECA is continuing their retro-styled character releases, following last year’s exclusive NES Jason release, with a variety of new characters announced and on display at the event! The first releases represent character from the popular 1993 videogame “Robot vs Terminator” on the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis systems! Two 7″ figure sets are planned for release: one featuring the T-800 Terminator and a Terminator Endoskeleton, and the second featuring Robocop in his normal look as well as an on-fire variant! All the figures in both sets will be designed and decorated to match their on-screen appearances from the videogame, and come with their own unique accessories and weapons.


NECA has also announced a brand-new 7″ Batman figure, designed and colored off of his appearance in the 1989 NES videogame! Featuring a cel-shaded design of purple and blue, Batman will feature a removable cape, along with his Batarang and Spear Gun accessories. Unfortunately, none of these retro-colored toys will be available for purchase until October, but fans at NECA’s SDCC booth will be able to get a good look at these cel-shaded classics in person for the first time.

NECA’s SDCC celebrations don’t stop there: a flash sale will open on their online website at 6:30 PST on Wednesday, July 23rd, allowing fans from all over the world to pick up their SDCC exclusives from the comfort of their own home! On top of that, NECA will continue to release new information on upcoming toys and releases throughout the event, making their booth a must-see for toy fans everywhere!
