NECA announces a new 'Ultramate' Action Figure Format

Some 12 years ago, NECA launched its Ultimate action figure format. It took their existing 7-inch line, but applied a standard of collector-friendly packaging, decor, and accessories to create a line that now spans multiple franchises, such as the earliest Terminator, Aliens, and Predator figures to the most recent releases from the likes of Sesame Street and Terrifier.


"In 2014, NECA set a new standard for collector action figures with the Ultimate format. Now, we’re going beyond Ultimate with...ULTRAmate!"

NECA have now teased a new line of action figures it is calling Ultramate. There are no further details as yet as to if this is a further enhancement of the 7-inch lines to match what McFarlane are doing with the Elite series, or even aspire to the level of Mezco's One:12 collection. Going beyond Ultimate could also mean a larger scale of figures, not a new format for NECA who have done plenty of quarter scale figures in the past.


We await more details.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
