First up is the reveal of NECA’s newest addition to their ‘Ultimate’ line of figures with Ash Williams from the hit Starz horror series ‘Ash vs The Evil Dead’! This new figure adds some new articulation and brings together a number of alternative head sculpts (that feature a spot on resemblance to the legendary Bruce Campbell) that were available in previous figures in the line, and puts it all in one simple package!

The 7” scale figure is highly articulated and comes in collector-friendly deluxe window box packaging with opening flap and bonus lenticular cover.

If that isn’t enough for you, NECA has also announced the full Series 12 lineup for their long running 7″ scale ‘ALIENS’ line! The new wave, which is set to hit stores in September, includes fan favorites like Ellen Ripley (with her bomber jacket), Vasquez  (in her BDU’s), and two different updated versions of the Battle-Damaged Alien Warrior figure (both have been updated to the ‘Ultimate’ Alien Warrior body).

These Monsters will be released as part of the POP! Vinyls line and will be available exclusively through Funko’s own website with an expected retail price of $14.99 each (plus shipping, meaning that one figure is going to run you around $21.99 unless you’re buying a few at a time).
