New NECA 7" The Defenders of the Earth Wave 1 Figures In-Hand Images

[JayC 2,442]

Shown below via mjerrett are new in-hand images for NECA's first wave of 7" The Defenders of the Earth figures. This wave includes The Phantom with Zuffy, Flash Gordon and Ming.

Here in the US these figures should start seeing release at Walmart stores, and then about 30 days later they will be available at other retailers. Look for them on shelves any day now.

so cool . I want Ming and flash. Phantom doesn't really appeal to me but always liked that toon version of Ming.

Ming is the best there. On the fence if they pop up in BBTS I might consider getting them, at the moment they're not worth it as long as they're exclusive to Walmart.

These are great looking. But so jacked!! Wow, steroids much? Seriously though that's how they looked in the cartoon so can't really complain. I do miss the Phantom's striped briefs, which to me always looked silly, yet its his iconic look. However he didn't have them on the show so again, they're being faithful to the series look. Not a walmut fan so I can wait till they hit other outlets; Ming looks like a must get. I'm definitely looking for these!

[Nosferatuman62172 139]

These look great. I may pick them up. I'm not sure yet because there's so much more I want.

[Belmont13 699]

So far I'm only planning on getting the Phantom, depending on how they scale I might get the Flash Gordon to stand in as a powered down Human Torch for the Invaders.

The lateral bends in the elbows of Flash and Phantom look kinda serious.  Ming looks fine. I wonder if NECA plastic can actually be heated, rebent into the correct position, and will stay...or will the whole damn thing just fall apart.

[Roadpigmaster 197]

I will get them all...

Technically, he did. I believe the Phantom from Defenders was supposed to be the 22nd., who's inferred to be the son of the Phantom from the comic strip (the 21st.). When the 21st Phantom appeared in flashbacks, he did indeed wear those crazy candy-stripe trunks.

LOL, that's the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw the Flash Gordon, Invaders era Human Torch. Or even Master man from Red Skull's 3rd reich. These are all certainly some class A1 looking figures.

They all look great although I am a little concerned about the plastic that will be used on these, the joint plastic looks kinda bent in package. I'll definitely get me that Flash Gordon figure once it available everywhere and not Walmart!!

[Lord_Scareglow 314]

these look awesome, I've been wondering when finally they would get released, I'm very stoked about starting to collect these.

[mako 551]

I guess I'm not the only one who hopes these are closer to the Target TMNT end of the 7 inch scale. I don't wanna put to fine a point on this, but I NEED a 1/12th Phantom in my collection. Flash and Ming, sure, but the Phantom is a must.

That's a great idea for a custom of Master Man from the Super Axis or whatever the group was called.

I tried to make Master Man out of a ML Nuke figure but the head repaint didn't look right so I ditched the idea. I know you have to break a few eggs and all that, but I hate to waste a good figure in a hack handed attempt to try something with little or no skills. No guts no glory.

Anyone seen these in Walmart yet?

The Walmarts I frequent are still mostly empty pegs across the board.

[Roadpigmaster 197]

Any update on this!

[UsagiYojimbo 5]

Haven't seen these yet at all, but I'm definitely in for a Phantom!

[tycondrius24 52]

I want all of these , though Ming is my fav of the bunch

I'm more inclined into the Phantom and will buy them all...

[JayC 2,442]

NECA's first wave of 7" Defenders of the Earth figures which includes The Phantom with Zuffy, Flash Gordon and Ming have been listed on Walmart's website. The figures are not yet available for purchase. These will initially see release at Walmart stores first and then a month or so later will see release everywhere.

[Mr_Scary92 684]

Ah yes good ol' Walmart, it's more worth waiting for BBTS to have them in pre-order.

[Belmont13 699]

I really want to get that Phantom but I don't want to deal with Walmart's subpar shipping practices so I'll wait for it to be available at BBTS or somewhere else.
