NECA's Randy Falk sat down with Pixel Dan to talk about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Jaws, Defenders of the Earth and more. Some of the key takeaways from the interview include the following: There will be 4 NECA SDCC exclusives offered this year and they are looking to work with some of their retail partners so they will be made available both online and at brick and mortar stores, since the con itself has been canceled. Randy confirmed that a Rocksteady in Bunny Suit figure will be offered in one of the LootCrate bundles, to go with the Bebop in a Bunny Suit, as seen in the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles episode “The Turtles and the Hare”. The Bebop figure is only available when you buy all the 3 Turtle crates as a bundle. The Rocksteady figure should be the one offered in the cartoon based crate, to go along with the Mirage Shredder and recently announced Arcade Electrocuted Turtle figures. For the TMNT movie line coming to Walmart, things start off in June with the Casey Jones and Raph in Disguise 2-pack. Casey's mask is not removable, however they did sculpt an unmasked head. Unfortunately they were not able to get the actors likeness rights in order to release it. After the Casey 2-pack, they will be re-releasing the 4 movie turtle figures in 2-pack form. The only real difference with these Walmart versions and the previous Gamestop ones is, the new Walmart ones will feature additional headbands. There is a Movie FOOT Clan Army Builder Pack coming and they are hoping to be able to include the weapons rack previously released in last years SDCC exclusive set. Beyond that Randy said they have two more 2-packs for the first movie coming to Walmart as well as some type of movie accessory pack. Then of course they also have the TMNT II The Secret Of The Ooze Super Shredder deluxe figure and Tokka & Rahza 2-pack. The Tokka and Rahza 2-pack will cost more than their other 2-packs and likely cost around $60, as opposed to $50. For the Target exclusive TMNT animated series line, Randy said wave 3 will be shipping soon and wave 4 will soon follow after that. By the end of the year Randy expects that they will have released around 40 different animated series figures. Randy said they are looking to release the TMNT animated series diorama that was on display at Toy Fair. Originally they were looking to first make it available during SDCC this year. Now it will likely be offered as a specialty store item with hopes of getting it out by end of year. Sometime after series 5 gets released. While NO where near being confirmed at this time of being able to happen, Randy said they had been doing some design work on possibly doing a Animated Series Sewer Lair diorama. The idea would be that it would attach to the building diorama so you would have the building above ground and the lair under the street. They have also been looking at ways of possibly doing a Party Wagon van vehicle. Randy goes on to say that they have a big expensive Turtle item coming to Target which is set to be released in mid-november, just in time for the holidays. This item is going to cost around $100. If that item sells well, it should help open the door to being able to do other things like the Sewer Lair and Party Wagon. Randy also indicated they really want to do a Usagi Yojimbo figure for the Turtles line, but that some additional negotiations still need to happen first. The Usagi character is controlled by it's creator Stan Sakai, so they need his blessing as well as Nickelodeons to make that figure happen, which Randy doesn't foresee being a problem. Randy also teased the possibility of doing characters like Napoleon Bonafrog and his entire clan. More quarter scale figures are coming as well. For the movie look for Splinter and Casey Jones to be released some time in 2021. Randy said they also plan on doing animated versions of the 4 turtles, with the idea that each will come with interchangeable facial expressions. Outside of Turtles Randy talked about things like how they have been working on a huge 30" Jaws shark figure which will feature a diorama base and articulated jaw and fins. Because of the size and cost, they may end up looking to crowdsourcing to get it released. Randy said they have a couple more Godzilla figures coming, but then after that the line will likely go on hiatus due to there being a new master toy license holder for the property. I don't think we should expect any Kong vs Godzilla products from NECA. The newly announced 7" scale Defenders of the Earth line likely won't be released until 2021. Randy hopes that either Target or Walmart will carry these figures. The plan is to release Flash Gordon, Ming the Merciless and The Phantom first, followed by Mandrake the Magician and Lothar. Other figures have been sculpted for the line which they also plan on releasing. If the line does well then they may look to expand it and do figures based on the Flash Gordon comics and animated series. Randy finished up by saying they people should look for more NECA product in general being available in more Walmart stores by September.

NECA Toys Armored Batman vs. Predator

Randy Falk from NECA Toys recently said in an interview that he thought we would see the release of 40 different figures by the end of the year for their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Animated series line. Because of that, we thought it would be fun to compile a list of all the figures we know about, and see how close we are to that 40 number. We are going to assume Randy wasn't including the original SDCC exclusive figures that were later released in the Target waves, or the re-issue of the Shredder and Krang figures that were originally offered in wave 1, and then released in a new 2-pack. We will count all the figures in wave 2, even though all but two were repaints of figures from wave 1. Based on what we know, we don't quit get to 40 yet, but we assume NECA has a few more unknown surprises in store for us between now and the end of the year. So lets start off with the figures that have already been released in the first two Target store exclusive waves. Wave 1: Michelangelo & FOOT Soldier, Donatello & Krang, Leonardo & Shredder, Raphael & Foot Soldier Wave 2: Bebop & Rocksteady, Raphel & Michelangelo, Leonardo & Donatello, FOOT Solider 1 & FOOT Soldier 2 That bring the total up to 16 figures. Now lets look at the figures we know are coming for waves 3 and 4. Wave 3 is slated for release in late June and wave 4 will be out shortly after that. Wave 3: April O'Neil & Bashed FOOT Soldier, Casey Jones & Slashed FOOT Soldier, Leatherhead and Slash Wave 4: Splinter & Baxter Stockman, Granitor & Traag, Roadkill Rodney & Triceraton-Soldier That bring our total up to 28 figures. Now Wave 5 which Randy said would be out by the end of the year has yet to be revealed, but they did show off at Toy Fair Triceraton Captain Zorax and Zork, so we are going to assume those will make up at least two figures in that wave. That bring us to 30 figures. Now besides the regular 2-packs coming to Target, NECA has announced the release of 3 different Deluxe figures for this year that will around cost $30 each. Deluxe Metalhead Deluxe FOOT Soldier with multiple heads, hands and accessories Deluxe Krang with Android Body That brings the total figures being released to 33. Now the Deluxe Krang is also coming with a mini Baby Shredder figure which we are not counting as a separate figure, though I guess technically it could considered as such. We also know that NECA is releasing figures of Rocksteady and Bebop in bunny costumes through Lootcrate. No images of those have been released at this time. So that brings the total up to 35 figures. We can assume wave 5 will at least have 4 more figures in it, which would bring the total to 39. NECA also recently teased a big priced item was coming to Target around the holidays that would cost in the neighborhood of $100, so that may include the 40th figure. Check out more images below for all the figures shown here, and we will update you as more stuff is revealed in the coming days.

The figures they are doing for this line will be in a similar style and scale as their popular Toony Terrors line, which stand around 6" tall. At Toy Fair they showed figures for Marty, Doc Brown who will include his dog Einstein and Biff. They are even doing an in-scale DeLorean time machine for your figures to ride around in. Just this week NECA has said these figures will start to see release in September 2020 and promise more details will be coming soon. Check out our images for this line from Toy Fair below.

Back in February during Toy Fair, NECA announced that their TMNT Movie figures going forward would be exclusively sold at Walmart stores. During Toy Fair they showed off a new TMNT II The Secret Of The Ooze Super Shredder deluxe figure as well as 2-packs featuring Tokka & Rahza and Casey Jones And Raphael In Disguise. NECA has just recently stated that we can expect to start seeing the Walmart figures on shelves in June. These will also be sold on the Walmart website. The next wave of Target exclusive TMNT Animated series 2-Packs should also be out by the end of June. Check out images of the Walmart movie figures that were on hand at Toy Fair below.

Now NECA has released behind-the-scenes images showing off the various Marty Headsculpts which were done by Trevor Grove Sculpture.

Ellen Ripley died trying to wipe this species out. For all intents and purposes, she succeeded! Here's your look at the NECA Alien Resurrection Xenomorph Warrior Figure!

Following the official word earlier today that this years San Diego Comic Con was being canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, NECA has come out and said they are making plans to release 4 exclusives this year and that they should be available for everyone. Well not quit everyone. They did state they would not be offering worldwide shipping, so I guess you will have to live in the US to get your hands on them or know someone who does. No specifics on what exactly the exclusives this year will be, but a good bet there will be something for TMNT and Predator. Aliens and Terminator are other favorite properties NECA likes to do exclusives for. Those details will be revealed in the coming days.

NECA has released new packaged images for their upcoming third wave of Toony Terrors figures. This wave which will start shipping at the end of May will include Ash from Evil Dead 2, Valak from The Conjuring Universe, and Count Orlok from Nosferatu. You can pre-order these figures from our sponsor BigBadToyStore.com.

NECA has released new packaged images for their upcoming Stormtroopers of Death Sgt. D 8" Retro Figure. It will be shipping out to retailers on April 27. Straight from the cover of S.O.D.'s satirical metal album, the band's Sgt. D character comes to life as a clothed action figure. Standing 8 inches tall, the figure comes with removable helmet and rifle accessory. You can pre-order this figure from our sponsor BigBadToyStore.com.

NECA has released a new image for their upcoming Alien 40th Anniversary Ripley figure which includes the Motion Detector, flamethrower, Cat Carrier, and a new Jonesy the cat for accessories. The figure also sports an updated headsculpt and comes in the special 40th Anniversary package. This figure is part of wave 1 which will also include Dallas (Compression Suit), and Big Chap (Concept) xenomorph. Wave 1 will be released as Target store exclusives. Wave 2 which will be released exclusively online at places like our sponsor BigBadToyStore.com will include Samuel Brett, Dennis Parker and a bloody variant of Big Chap. The third and final wave has yet to be fully revealed. At Toy Fair we saw the Kane and Ash figures. The third figure has yet to be revealed. One would think it will be an updated version of Lambert, since she is the final crew member of the Nastromo to be done for this Anniversary line. Probably done similarly to the way they are doing the wave 1 Dallas figure, with an updated headsculpt. Wave three should be released as a Walmart exclusive. Check out the new Ripley figure image below as well as the other revealed figure images from February's Toy Fair.

NECA is re-releasing their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Animated Series Shredder and Krang figures from wave 1 in a new two-pack which is available at Target now.

No word if that has happened, but it is not currently available for purchase on the website.
