Django Unchained Classic 8″ Action Figures!

Django Unchained hits theaters Christmas Day, and it just wouldn’t be Quentin Tarantino if there wasn’t some love for the ’70s involved.

True to the vibe of the film and to Tarantino’s aesthetic, our new Django Unchained action figures are classics in the truest sense — cloth clothing, window box packages, larger scale — and still they keep the level of movie-accurate detail you’ve come to know, love and expect from NECA.

As we said when we first announced the partnership with Django Unchained, we couldn’t be more thrilled to be producing these figures, and now that they’re ready, we think they came out great!

NYCC 2012:New York Comic-Con’s Minimates Tenth Anniversary Exhibit a Big Hit

Minimates celebrated their 10th birthday with a bang, as over 100,000 fans attended this past weekend’s New York Comic-Con, where the Minimates-related festivities were in full swing! An art exhibit, panel and two signings drew thousands of attendees, from die-hard Minimate fanatics to casual enthusiasts, and thousands of Minimates, pins and posters were given out over the course of the weekend. Manufacturer Diamond Select Toys also gave fans a glimpse at the future of the line!

Located on the lower level at the Jacob Javits Center, the Minimates 10th Anniversary Exhibit had over 400 Minimates on display — not even a third of the over 1400 Minimates that have been released over the years. Marvel and DC Comics characters were displayed alongside Minimates from <em>Star Trek</em>, <em>The Walking Dead, Ghostbusters</em> and <em>The Munsters</em>, and the walls were hung with original concept art, as well as promotional posters from movie-based Minimates lines like <em>Back to the Future</em> and <em>A Fistful of Dollars</em>.

The artists behind most of those posters, Minimates designers Uriel Caton and Barry Bradfield, were at the exhibit on Sunday to sign 500 Universal Monsters Minimates posters for exhibit attendees. They were also joined by Minimates product manager Robert Yee for a panel presentation on Minimates, during which they revealed the control art for next year’s 50th series of Marvel figures. The line-up for that series was voted on by over 10,000 Marvel.com visitors, and the release will coincide with the Marvel Minimates line’s 10th anniversary.

NECA: Assassin’s Creed: Revelations Ezio Auditore

 

Coming Soon: Assassin’s Creed: Revelations Ezio Auditore 7″ Action Figure!

 

 

Assassin’s Creed: Revelations 7″ Ezio Auditore ships this month!

 

We’re not exactly quiet about the fact that we love our Assassin’s Creed around here. All throughout the series, we’ve been bringing you figures, flying machines, even a replica of Ezio Auditore’s hidden blade! If it’s a secret, we’ve been doing a lousy job of keeping it.

 

For the latest in the series, Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, we’ve got a brand new sculpt of Ezio. Now with over 35 points of articulation, our Assassin’s Creed: Revelations Ezio Auditore 7″ action figure is set to ship to stores this month in time for the fall season.

 

A Long Line

 

The first Revelations Ezio follows up on the success of a slew of Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood Ezio action figures, including the SDCC Exclusive Eagle Vision Ezio and the Toys ‘R’ Us-only Unhooded Onyx Costume Ezio, and in addition to the über-articulation and incredible game-accurate detail, it comes with the standard extending blades hidden in the sleeves, a crossbow, dagger and sword.

 

Along with the Assassin’s Creed: Revelations Ezio HeadKnocker, this is our first Ezio from the fourth game, so we couldn’t be happier to bring it to you.

 

Have a look:
