Up, Up, And Away!

Continuing their ongoing series of amazing new 6″ scale One:12 Collective figures, Mezco has released a full solicitation for the upcoming figure based on DC Comics Superman! This figure is based on the characters classic pre ‘New 52’ look, so he’s sporting his bright red undies on the outside of his pants just like the good old days! Check out the full solicit below-

Mezco-One12-Collective-DC-Superman-010

The sole survivor of his dying home planet Krypton, Superman was raised by his adoptive parents Martha and Jonathan Kent as their son Clark on a modest farm in Kansas.

Having developed powers far beyond those of mortal men and imbued with a strong moral compass, Clark takes up the fight for truth and justice as Superman. Although he is based in the big city of Metropolis, Superman is a global hero — righting wrongs worldwide. He is arguably the greatest and most powerful hero in the DC Universe.

Our One:12 Collective Superman figure is digitally modeled to craft a hyper-realistic “real world” look. This fully posable figure is assembled on a signature One:12 body with over 32 points of articulation. Additionally, this figure features meticulously-crafted cloth costuming with sculpted details to create an amazing collectible.

The One:12 Collective Classic Superman features:

Hyper-realistic facial sculpt
1:12 scaled, highly realistic fabric uniform and cape
Sculpted chest logo and belt
Super articulated body with over 32 points of articulation

What’s in the box:

Standard portrait
Alternate portrait

Flying hands (L&R)
Posing hands (L&R)
Bottled City Of Kandor

Kryptonite meteorite

Cape posing clip (attaches to the posing post)
Chain posing clip (attaches to the posing post)
Display base with posing post

Each figure is packaged in a deluxe, fifth-panel window box featuring character-specific artwork and a protective slipcover. Designed for collector convenience, the packaging allows for both maximum protection as well as ease of removal for display.

“I’m A Little Piggy!”

ThreeZero has announced plans to continue their live action ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ 1:6 scale line with the addition of Beebop and Rocksteady from this summer’s ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows’! It may still be a little too early to tell just what to expect from these, but if this preview image is any inclination, we’re in for a real treat with these two! As of now details are unfortunately scarce, so we won’t know any further information as to what these figures will include or when to expect them to be available until later.

Hail To The King Baby

While they have always done a fine job bringing some of our favorite characters from some of the best classic genre films to life as action figures, but in over the last year or two they’ve been delving into their own backcatalog of licenses and giving us some phenomenal ‘do-overs’ of characters they’ve previously done as ‘Ultimate Editions’. The ‘Ultimate Edition’ figures are often jam packed with accessories and articulation that the earlier releases may have missed out on, and wow does this latest ‘Ultimate Edition’ take the cake! This week NECA has revealed their all new ‘Ultimate Edition’ Ash Williams based on his appearance in ‘Evil Dead 2’! This figure has almost double the articulation of the previous NECA ‘Evil Dead 2’ Ash figure, and includes numerous accessories like two interchangeable heads, a severed hand, Sheila’s severed head, a shotgun, the Necronomicon, and more! Check out the full listing from NECA below-

Evil-Dead-2-Ash-Ultimate-001

Evil Dead 2: One of the horror greats and a true cult classic!

From the 1987 movie starring the one and only Bruce Campbell, we present the definitive collector’s version of Ash! Ultimate Ash features all new fully articulated legs and tons of accessories, including 2 interchangeable heads (regular and possessed sculpts), interchangeable right forearms, severed possessed hand, Sheila head, Necronomicon, tape recording machine, shotgun and axe accessories. With over 25 points of articulation, he’s fully poseable and ready to rock your world!

Evil-Dead-2-Ash-Ultimate-004

The 7” scale figure comes in collector-friendly deluxe window box packaging with opening flap.

Fight To The Finish

While they’re at it, NECA is also giving us a new figure two-pack of some other previously released figures that have been given a small update! This time it’s coming from the ‘Alien Vs. Predator’ line and it will include The Grid Alien and The Celtic Predator figures! This new figure two-pack, dubbed ‘Rivalry Reborn‘ features both of these previously released figures with new battle-damage! There is currently no release date set for this set, but it’s probably safe to say we can expect to see it hitting stores sometime this summer!
