Revision as of 11:46, 24 July 2021

The NECA Action Figures are a series of action figures based on Gargoyles that are being released by NECA in 2021.

On March 25th, 2021, NECA announced on Twitter their Goliath action figure. [1] On June 15th, they announced that the response had been overwhelming and that they intended this to be a full line, that "seven or eight" figures were completed and even more were in development. [2] When asked about their thoughts behind the look, they explained that action figures had come a long way since 1994 and wanted to modernize the looks with more detail and anatomy. [3]

At 12:01 am, on June 25th, 2021, NECA posted a stop motion animated commercial for their Goliath action figure, by D.M. Galloway. The commercial also featured the first glimpse of NECA's Demona action figure. [4]. Demona was later officially announced, alongside Thailog on July 19th, 2021. [5] On July 23rd, 2021, it was announced that eight more figures were completed for a 2022 release. [6]
