NECA Planning Ultimate ‘Evil Dead II’ Ash!

Published

Evil Dead 2

NECA’s “Ultimate” line is one of the best ever, delivering gluttonous action figures of A Nightmare On Elm Street‘s Freddy Krueger, Friday the 13th: Jason LivesJason Voorhees and even Texas Chain Saw Massacre‘s Leatherface.

Next on the list is Ashley J. Williams, as depicted in Sam Raimi’s classic 1987 Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn!

The toy company tweeted out stating that they won’t be looking to adapt Ash out of the “Fistful of Boomstick” video game because they’re already bringing us toys based on Starz’s “Ash vs Evil Dead” series to go along with the Ultimate version of Ash.

The New York Toy Fair in a few weeks away. I expect to see some “Ash vs Evil Dead” prototypes there and hope to get a tease of this new Ultimate, although NECA followed up by stating it’s only in the planning stage at this moment. Last year NECA revealed Ultimate Predator and T2 figures.

I just hope we eventually get an Ultimate version of Ripley from Aliens.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
