NECA NES figures

I've recently become aware of these figures made by powerhouse NECA, who always holds a place in my mind as a great toy producer regardless. For this line, they take some prominent figures from classic NES titles (that weren't Mario or Link, we're talking those sweet, sweet licensed characters) and simply recolored the figures to more closely resemble their in-game NES counterparts. You know what that means: bright, garish colors, oh yeah!

These prominently colorful figures are Batman, the purple crusader (pictured above), Robocop and Predator the "blue" brothers, "Thermal vision" Arnold Schwarzenegger, Freddy Krueger the red and caramel wonder, and Jason Voorhees, the blue and seafoam green.....other wonder. These figures are amazingly multicolored, and really DO look like they hopped out of their respective NES games. My personal favorites are Batman and Freddy, mostly because they are the most brightly colored, aside from Arnie. Every one of them looks highly detailed and come with nice accessories (Freddy's is kind of just attached to him anyways).

Before I start, I must say that looking at them standing next to each other looks like they just wandered off the set of a Double Dragon movie. They look like an absolute blast, to pose or to play with. Every one of those figures would look magnificent on a shelf, and you can bet your bottom I will definitely pick at least one up. For some reason it seems, with the exception of Freddy, several figures seem to carry a dark blue, such as Jason, Robocop, and Predator (Batman only has a bit of lighter blue, but is mostly purple). Either way, they are all amazingly detailed, amazingly poseable, and worth a look if you have the cash. I'd wall jump for any of these bad boys.
