I think if they ever did Sauron that would be spectacular. I really dig his armor in the movies and he'd be a pretty tall figure.

Corvo from the game Dishonored would also be an instant buy, it was a fun game that had great stealth mechanics but wasn't too challenging about it.

Never played Dishonored but he did look pretty badass.

I almost completely passed it by until a friend got it and highly recommended it. The game's world and lore are pretty fascinating albeit not the most original of concepts but the play-your-way stealth mechanics with supernatural powers thrown in can feel quite rewarding as you play. The weakest link is definitely the game having a by-the-numbers revenge story and when the big betrayal happens it's completely not surprising. I have to wonder if the game's makers honestly figured anyone would think "wait the guys who had me overthrow the usurpers are now betraying me to hide the evidence?! Darn I thought I could trust political power-seekers who plot assassinations and a coup."

I've thought about getting the Xbox One version a few times but I've never really liked first person games.

Dying Light and Wolfenstein The New Order have changed my opinion of them so I may give it a shot. The New Doom game looks pretty good too.

DCC has total lockdown on all Arkham figures in the 7" scale but the good news is their stuff there is pretty good. Specifically since you mention Asylum/City Bane the two pack they did of him and Batman is an excellent figure.

Supposedly they actually considered the Last of Us but the market testing didn't really support figures especially since the characters looked so normal and plain.

A songbird would have been cool as hell but to be in scale with the 7" figures it would be man-sized. Songbird is capable of holding an entire person in one hand not to mention the wingspan. An out of scale version would've been awesome but support for the line died out before we could even get the Handyman they were working on, which itself was huge.

Darksiders would also have been cool.

I would have gladly bought Darksiders figures. I enjoyed both games in the series. Sadly, I think that ship sailed.

I feel kinda bad because I made my own desktop rig from scratch and the CPU I got from Asus came with a free copy of Darksiders for Steam, I installed it but have never played it beyond the tutorial.

I have that Asylum Bane from the two-pack. The $40 I paid was worth it for him alone. He's awesome.

I played the first one but never finished it. I loved the setting and story but felt like it was kind of lacking. Can't really explain it. I'd still like to play the second one though. Playing as Death seems like it'd be way more fun.

He's just such a big hulking figure for his price! He can pose a bit of difficulty balancing in dynamic stances but if you dig the design (which I do for being an excessive version) then it's pretty much the best Bane in its size.


I do think the idea of being Death has a lot more appeal to a gamer than being War, maybe it's because we kinda already got to be the embodiment of War with that franchise where it was straight up called "God of War."

That would be nice. If Dishonored 2 does well I guess it might draw NECA's attention to the franchise. Corvo and Emily Kaldwell figures, and maybe Daud.

I'm pretty sure Funko has the license, though I kinda doubt they got exclusive rights or anything as to prevent other companies, because I remember them showing a Corvo mini vinyl figurine. My hopes were that they would for some reason make Legacy figures since they had the license but even after refreshing the line with the Fallout and Skyrim figures it seems to have fallen again.

[Nexusgr]

I agree that songbird should be 10+ inches. I wonder why Neca didn't dealt for such a mane character. Also Handyman from bioshock would be a great figure. At least they did the Heroes of the storm line which is just epic, i can't wait for the new figures of Thrall, Raynor, Diablo and Sylvanas. Neca give us more video game figures and stop thar madness with Allien and Predator stuff!

Never, their Alien and Predator stuff is the best those licenses have ever seen. Also movies, especially those with strong followings such as the Alien and Predator franchises, tend to perform better in the toy market than video games. You'd figure more gamers would also be into getting figures but that's obviously not the case. Perhaps it's because movies have a more lasting presence and impact while even the greatest of games are still overlooked by the public at large.

Songbird looks like something around 60' tall (spitballing here) so an accurate figure would be almost 6' tall, it would have been easier for them to just make a costume at that point. For me a 6 or 7" tall Songbird would probably have been the way to go out of scale since he does have a wingspan and he is bulkier than he is tall.

The #1 HotS figure I would like to see NECA make, which there's a good chance they will/are, is Kerrigan. After her any of the Protoss would be acceptable but Tassadar is my favorite.

[Trivial Psychic]

Just a thought, since Neca has the ability to use Stallone's likeness, I wonder if it would be someday possible to get a Stallone "version" of the Terminator as featured from "Last Action Hero" SDCC exclusive anyone?..lol

Head swap or not...I'd buy it in a heartbeat.



I'd also like to see a Simon Phoenix/John Spartan two pack. Demolition Man was the shiznit...

And finally, for the videogame line...I've said it before and I'll say it again, while NECA wouldn't be my first choice for this figure since I'd have concerns articulation wise, I'd love to see a Faith Conners from "Mirror's Edge."

[lordbest]

I would be very surprised if we don't see Kerrigan announced for the next wave of HotS figures. I'd like Tassadar but I think they might go for Zeratul has a fan favourite over him for the first protoss.

I doubt it would happen but I'd love to see them release a Valkyrie as the large model for a wave, they are technically in HotS as Raynor can summon two with one of his abilities.

Demolition Man figures would kick ass. I used to play with my old toys all the time.

[Wendigo5326]

Th license I'd like to see NECA take on most is Resident Evil but be sure to start with the main characters and maybe build each wave off of a game (RE1, RE2 and etc.) and avoid the movies at all costs.
That'd be my dream and I'd be sure to pick up every single release.
Second would probably be a '89 Jack Nicholson Joker in a 7-inch scale to match that amazing Keaton Bats from a few years back.

That would be cool. I wonder if the NECA Rocky head would fit on there? I have Rocky but no Arnold.

When i just heard the "Hots" line i prayed to see Diablo, Arthas, Raynor and Kerrigan. I think that Diablo will be the large figure of this wave and i hope Kerrigan would be in the next. I think that this line is going great and we are going to see a lot of characters. I really can't understand all this support for Allien, Predator for so many series. Also i would love to see Gabriel from Castlevania LoS.

I hope they don't pull something to make Kerrigan her wave's deluxe figure. She's fairly short and small on her own and then her wings are just skeletal frames. NECA regularly releases Aliens figures larger than regular humans that have long tails and a solid body so they could easily do Kerrigan as a normal $20 release. It would actually be weird if NECA didn't make her just a normal sized release figure.

They're very popular and enduring franchises. Alien was a huge success back in '79 and has influenced a wide array of fiction since its release and then its sequel Aliens was an even bigger financial success. Alien is both a landmark film for science fiction and horror so it pools two fairly large devoted groups of fans. Plus the titular Alien itself is an icon of film and has become instantly recognizable. Alien is so popular that it has its own unofficial holiday now like May the 4th for Star Wars. Predator is kinda similar but to a lesser degree. The first film was basically the original macho testosterone Expendables type of film with its cast but then the sci-fi elements and creature have made it far more memorable and enduring than just another action flick of the '80s.
Hell if it weren't for Alien and Predator then there wouldn't be a Heroes of the Storm, game or figures. Alien and Predator both influenced Starcraft, and Starcraft is what put Blizzard on the map and made them a big deal so you can see right there where the lasting appeal is. I could actually see both the Alien and Predator franchises lasting well past the HotS line. That being said I hope the HotS line sticks around for a while.

[suchaname]

All just pure wish fulfilment, some would be updates or re-releases...

Main characters from '89 Batman

Just anything from Alien or Predator, really, which they seem to be doing lol

Tech Com Reese is an awesome idea

Everyone wants Shredder, but anything from TMNT will always be welcomed

War and Death from Darksiders

Big Trouble In Little China

Highlander

The Crow

Phantom

Anything DC or Marvel

Guns N Roses

Queen

The Sopranos

Masters of the Universe

I remember when music figures were fairly common from McFarlane and even NECA a little. I vaguely remember seeing NECA's Freddie Mercury and the AC/DC two pack at retail but they weren't selling that well, just not a big market for that I guess. I know I said before that I want more Iron Maiden Eddie figures (not megos) but I also think a Vic Rattlehead would be cool. Megadeth isn't nearly as big as Iron Maiden but Vic Rattlehead is pretty much the only other metal mascot with a following like Eddie.

I've got McFarlane Slash.

Oh Yes, I've been hoping for a "Peace sells" diorama for ages. Judas Priest's "Painkiller" would be awesome as well.
