Awesome Action Figures

NECA continues to expand its line of action figures based on retro Ben Cooper Halloween costumes from the 1970s and 1980s. The latest series features pint-sized, poseable figures dressed up like members of the Justice League… and one baddie: Batman, Batgirl, Wonder Woman, Superman, and Joker. Price shown is for the set of five 6-inch figures.

Annie’s fierce fighting form gets the action figure that it deserves. This action figure of the Female Titan from Attack on Titan is can be displayed in dozens of expressive poses. It also comes with eight hands, a hardened elbow, a hardened foot, an extra face, and extra bangs. Swappable bangs, folks. This is why Revoltech is king.

Today, you can find Halloween costumes that actually look like the character you’re trying to be. But in the 1980s and earlier, kids were limited to stuff like Ben Cooper’s plastic masks and logo coveralls. NECA’s action figures shrink down these classics. Series 3 includes kids wearing Alien, Gizmo, Stripe, and Beetlejuice, each with a treat bag or candy bucket.

Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Now, add your credit card number, and The Ghost with the Most will appear on your doorstep. This 1:12 scale figure has 28 points of articulation, six interchangeable heads (including a shrunken head and light-up carousel hat head), ten swappable hands, and posable hammer arms. Pre-orders ship in early 2025.

Kaiyodo has finally opened pre-orders for its Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi action figure of One Punch Man‘s titular hero.

Robosen stunned Transformers fans with the self-transforming Optimus Prime. Now, they’ve given the leader of the Decepticons the same treatment.

NECA’s 10″ tall version of OmniCorp’s ED-209 crimefighting robot perfectly matches the one on-screen. It’s fully poseable with a moving head, legs, arm wing panels, and cannon arms.
