NECA's Randy Falk On Erik Nagel Show - Details - The Toyark - News
Nothing too earth shattering. No new licenses, a couple minor tidbits like working on trying to acquire the tangled mess that is the original Blade Runner.

I guess since they're not doing PR2 it makes some sense why they aren't doing any Kong toys either?

They've sorta said on Twitter that they just don't want to do anything for Kong whereas with Pacific Rim 2 it seems like they'd want to but don't have the license.

They're both Legendary Pictures movies right? I was kinda thinking it would be related to that, but who knows. |

Indeed they are both from Legendary and Kong is even part of the same "world" as Legendary's Godzilla (which NECA made some figures of) but their both coming from the same studio isn't seeming to be a factor here. I'm not 100% clear on why NECA isn't doing PR2 but I recall reading that they couldn't secure the license (maybe money restraints from other licenses they wanted more?) but then I haven't heard of any other company getting it yet either (if any other even will). I'd like for NECA to regain that license both for the sequel and to continue with what they couldn't finish from the first movie (Karloff, Raiju, Onibaba, etc.) but sadly all I can do is dream.

As for Godzilla & Kong, while Legendary is producing/distributing both Kong and Godzilla, they are not owned outright by Legendary. Toho owns the rights to Godzilla and licensing deals for that character must be made with them. Universal Studios is the owner of Kong, and any deal to produce his character must go through them.
