NECA Goes 16-bit With “Robocop vs. The Terminator” #SDCC
NECA is effectly causing my space anxiety. I already don’t have enough room for their ongoing Alien and Aliens line, and now their 8-bit – and now 16-bit treatments are breaking both the bank and my wall space.
Just yesterday we wrote about their absolutely badass 8-bit Batman, based on the super rough NES game.
Next up, they’re bringing a two-series collection inspired by the classic 1993 video game, “Robocop vs. The Terminator”!
Released in late 1993 for the popular 16-bit home console, “Robocop vs. The Terminator” answered the burning question of sci-fi fans worldwide: which man/machine would win in a fight? The “future of law enforcement” or the actual future?
Series 1 includes two versions of “The Terminator” with paint deco that re-creates the video game shading. The T-800 includes a Plasma Rifle accessory, and the Endoskeleton comes with a standing Heavy Machine Gun accessory. Both figures are fully articulated and stand approximately 7″ tall.
They’ll go perfect with the previously released RoboCop figure, and look awesome next to Freddy, Jason and Predator, all now available at retailers.

Keanu Reeves Describes Untitled Time Loop Thriller from Director Tim Miller as ‘Groundhog Day’ With Sharks
At one point known as Shiver, Tim Miller‘s (Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate) next movie doesn’t yet have a title, but star Keanu Reeves offers a very intriguing tease this week.
Chatting with Collider, Reeves explains what drew him to the mysterious upcoming project from director Tim Miller. He tells the outlet, “Sharks. Time machine. Groundhog Day.”
That lines up with early plot details that surfaced earlier this year, with the film said to center on a “smuggler in the middle of a deadly double-cross while on a job in the Caribbean Sea.”
That synopsis continued, “Surrounded by bodies, hostile mercenaries, and bloodthirsty sharks, the man finds himself in a time loop and scrambling to break the cycle.”
Callie Cooke (“The Stranger”), Stefan Kapičić (Deadpool), Steven Waddington (Sleepy Hollow), Nicholas Duvernay (“The White Lotus”), Abraham Popoola (Cruella), Anastasia Safonov, and Bobby Holland Hanton (Thor: Love and Thunder) also star.
Ian Shorr (Splinter, Infinite) penned the screenplay for the sci-fi thriller, which had previously been described as having shades of Edge of Tomorrow and The Shallows.
Stay tuned for more on the untitled Warner Bros. project.
