TOY FAIR 2015: The NECA Report

Including offerings from WizKids! Planet of the Apes! Christopher Reeve Superman! DeVito Penguin! HEROCLIX!

Here’s what I learned: Keep buying the Planet of the Apes 7-inch scale series and they’ll keep making them. That’s pretty much the bottom line. While other, younger-skewing lines are selling well, the POTA figs will last only as long as there’s a market — so snap ’em up because they are pretty awesome, I gotta say.

Anyway, Wave 3 — Conquest Caesar, Conquest Gorilla, with shield and weaponry, and Battle Aldo — is coming … and Wave 4 is on deck. Plus the Lawgiver statue. After that … ? It’s up to us.

Wave 4 is slated to have Julius and TV’s Urko and Veska.

Mego-style, 8-inch soldier ape will be out soon. These figs are being produced one at a time, not as waves. So if you dig this and Taylor, there could be more coming.

Fantastic.

REALLY impressive in person.

I am no HeroClix expert. I’m really a fan of the figs as collectibles, though. Some of the items are only available at tourneys and such, but man is WizKids inventive:
