FIGURES AND MORE EXCLUSIVE!!
TOY FAIR 2010: NECA
Next up on our tour of Toy Fair is a stop to see what’s new from the leader in pop culture toys: NECA. NECA is best known for figures based on cult classic movies, such as The Exorcist, The Dark Crystal, Twilight and Harry Potter. They also produce a popular series of figures based on cult classic videogames, such as Resident Evil, Gears of War and Bioshock. Here’s the latest from NECA.
This year, NECA bought Wizkids from Topps and so, they are continuing the Heroclix line. In addition to the Marvel and DC versions that have previously been available, NECA will be adding new versions based on their other licenses, such as Gremlins.

In addition to the Player Select line, NECA has two more videogame licenses: Gears of War and Bioshock. There are a number of new releases in both lines. In fact, NECA’s line this year actually ties in to the new Bioshock 2 game. The figures shown so far are: Subject Delta, Big Daddy, Big Sister and Little Sister. A Splicer figure was also shown at Toy Fair. In addition, there is a Big Sister/Little Sister 2 pack available. Also, there are a number of other collectibles from Bioshock 2 available, including a rag doll Big Daddy and a light-up EVE syringe.
