Toy Fair is an annual trade show where hundreds of toy companies get together to showcase their latest innovations for buyers and press. The following is a photo recap from the Neca booth. To see the rest of our coverage, click HERE.
The Neca booth called out to me from afar with their lifesize foam figures of Deadpool, Harley Quinn, and Spider-Man. Unlike most items of that size, these were not just for display purposes. You can actually purchase each of these figures for around $1,000 each. Aside from the price, a total lack of space, and a wife I’d like to keep, I could certainly see myself a collector splurging on one of these because the quality is astounding.
Luckily, the attention to detail carries over to their much smaller scale collectibles. Their Evil Dead II Ultimate Edition 2-figure set was one of the most fun things to photograph at Toy Fair, especially due to the awesome cabin diorama that sadly does not come with the figures. The quarter scale Ninja Turtle figures look as if they were perfectly cast from molds of the original Jim Henson creations. Dr. Strange may be their most accurate Marvel figure from the Avengers lineup and the Mayor edition of Penguin from BATMAN RETURNS is simply astonishing. Other highlights included the massive Predator display, a Muhamad Ali / Superman 2-pack, and a surprise Batman / Aliens 2-pack that features a Joker Xenomorph!
I am not sure if I am supposed to have a favorite company at Toy Fair but lets just say Neca knows what they are doing. Not only are their figures high quality and reasonably priced but Randy Falk, their Director of Product Development, is absolutely killing it on Twitter (@Neca_toys). Seriously, all companies need to be as interactive and passionate about their products on social media. Check out the images below to see what he is so proud of…
