Comic-Con ’11: NECA Will Swallow Your Soul: ‘Evil Dead’ Toys Revealed!
The timing couldn’t be any better for NECA to reveal their first wave of action figures based on Sam Raimi’s 1987 classic Evil Dead 2. As we first predicted back in May, the potential is off the charts with options for a handful of variants. The dudes at NECA know what they’re doing, which is proven in the following sneak peak images from the floor of the yet-to-open San Diego Comic-Con. What can you expect besides Bruce Campbell as good ‘ol “Ash”? How about the classic axe, shotgun, tape recorder, chainsaw, along with varient Ash faces (including a possessed Ash). It also looks as if they’ve got even more surprises up their sleeve (take a look for yourself!)
Also inside are some floor pics of NECA setting up diorama’s to support their forthcoming line of new A Nightmare on Elm Street figures. This way to the boiler room!

Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
