NECA have released this image showing the outer sleeve packaging for the Ultimate Gremlin figure. The release uses the original movie poster as a cover with the VHS like side spine. The Ultimate Gremlin should arrive before Christmas according to Randy Falk at NECA, although it is unclear if that will be realised for the UK at this stage. The Ultimate Gremlin will include numerous accessories to allow you to display your Gremlin in different scenarios. These include pop corn bags that fit over the ears as well as playing cards and a pitcher of beer. NECA have tweeted in response to a collector that they did explore including the crossbow, pistol and balaclava - but these were rejected by the licence holder. To honor the first appearance of a Gremlin in our Ultimate line, NECA has completely re-sculpted the original 1984 Gremlin body! Any fans of the Gremlins movies knows the rules: keep them out of sunlight, don't get them wet, and never feed them after midnight. Break them and your fuzzy, friendly little Mogwai will turn into a scaly, savage Gremlin, like this deluxe 7-inch scale figure (stands approximately 15 cm tall). The all new body features over 25 points of articulation, including ears and jaw. This Ultimate edition comes with popcorn bags that can be placed over the ears like in the movie, assorted candy, mug, playing cards, 3D glasses and more. #NECA #Gremlins

It has been over 12-months since we had our last wave of Alien figures from NECA.

The full Kenner Inspired Series 13 lineup of the Snake Alien, Scorpion Alien and Sergeant Apone should make it to store shelves for December 2018. #NECA #Aliens

The NECA Twitter/Facebook feed has returned with its themed daily posts, and for Prednesday we get a first look at the packaging design for their Alien vs Predator Arcade figures. The artwork is certainly reminiscent of the 1994 game with a checklist of the various figures down the right hand side. The full range was down for a November 2018 release, we may see that slip to December now - particularly for UK collectors. #NECA #Predator #Aliens #AlienVsPredator

"And when he comes home, we will be ready" That was the tweet that accompanied this image of a shotgun, rifle and handgun. The speculation is that these are accessories included in the Laurie Strode figure teased by NECA on Halloween. This level of accessories would almost certainly make Laurie an Ultimate release. However, we could be barking up the wrong tree completely. #NECA #Halloween

It seems Hasbro's range of action figures is about to get bigger. At the recent BlizzCon 2018 event (the Blizzard Entertainment Convention) it was announced that the Hasbro team have obtained the licence to make Overwatch figures.

I had predicted that Mace Windu was going to be the 6 inch Black Series reveal at London Comic Con, only for the Battle Droid to be revealed. It seems I was one Convention out, as the Hasbro team unveiled Mace at the Lucca Comic Con in Italy and he will be joining the Black Series in Spring 2019. Unlike most other Jedi's that preceded him, Mace Windu will come with a Soft Goods cloak. He will also include his iconic purple lightsaber.
