By comics xaminer


NECA is pleased to announce an amazing addition to their 1/4 scale figure product line: the acquisition of the Marvel comics license for both comic book and feature films!
Their inaugural offering will be Captain America as seen in this years #1 film, The Avengers.



The figure stands 18″ tall and features loads of detail and articulation.
Over 25 points of articulation including neck, shoulders, torso, elbows, hips, knees, wrists, and more. Includes Cap’s signature shield with straps and interchangeable hands.
Stay tuned for more 1/4 scale figures coming soon!

yeah its based off of the avengers costume. I'm curious as to what is going to happen, they stated they aquired the license. will more than one manufacturer be able to make the figs? I/E Hasbro and NECA?

Thats how it works. Hasbro got the rights to 1:18 and 1:12 scale and NECA looks like it got the 1:4. I don't care for this much either, I think it would have been better to lead off with Ironman or Hulk(which would be cool cause in scale he'd be around 24"-26")...but whatever. This Cap doesn't do it for me, just the hopes that this will kick off something more.

I expected the movies, but VERY surprised at the comics license. The idea of a 1:4 scale team of the original X-Men is veeeeery intriguing. And expensive. But intriguing.

I would be slightly more interested in this if it were a scale that was... not stupidly huge. The details are nice, but overall... where am I going to put that?

You'd have to be an focused collector, just cap stuff or you would have to have a collection room(s).

A 1:4 scale Hulk would be very cool. I have a few of their 18" figures,The Crow and Robocop, and they make for a nice display. They are only a head taller than a ML BAF.

[bobtheodd]

Yep, they're big but just got to find space for them. I have 7 of them, all horror related.

Ya, Iron Man would be awesome! Would love to see a Wolverine or War Machine as well.
