New York Toy Fair: NECA?s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice?
Beetlejuice!
Oh shit! It worked!
Nah, I?m just foolin? ya. This is actually the prototype of NECA?s Beetlejuice figure, part of its increasingly awesome Cult Classics movie toyline. I?m starting our NYTF coverage with NECA as it had the coolest, newest toys by far, including Danny Trejo as Machete from Grindhouse?
Kurt Russell as Stuntman Mike from Grindhouse?s Death Proof?
A second batch-tastic figure of David Bowie from Labyrinth with Hoggle (seriously, check out that package!)?
And Regan doing her creepy-ass spider-walk from The Exorcist. I suppose the brutal crucifix masturbation scene was a little much for a toy.
Oh, and that?s not close to all. NECA has announced a full Conan the Barbarian movie line with this figure as Ahnuld appears with warpaint (a pitfighter Conan is also scheduled):
More from NECA later.
