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.

‘Halloween Store’ Posters Spotlight the Cast Trapped at the Shriek Shack in Campy Horror Comedy [Exclusive]
A killer loose on Halloween spells bad news for last-minute shoppers and employees at a costume shop in the upcoming campy horror comedy Halloween Store, and the official posters introduce the unlucky ensemble cast caught in the Shriek Shack.
Shane Dax Taylor (Murder Company) directs from a script by Chad Law (6 Bullets) and Josh Ridgway (The Flood).
The logline for Halloween Store reads: “a group of people find themselves trapped inside a costume store on Halloween night with a mysterious killer on the loose.“
Natalie Alyn Lind (“Dutton Ranch“, Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) and Simon Rex (Red Rocket) lead the cast that includes Anthony Michael Hall (Halloween Kills), Thomas Dekker (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Nicholas Hamilton (It), Lindy Booth (Dawn of the Dead), Sydney Park (“The Walking Dead”), Grace Van Dien (“Stranger Things”), Jorge Lendeborg Jr. (Bumblebee), Drew Ray Tanner (“Riverdale”), Kai Caster (“Spider Noir”) and Taipei Houston musicians Myles Ulrich and Layne Ulrich.
Meet the cast in the trio of official posters below, all hand-drawn by the artist Kadie Video.
It also gives a tiny glimpse of the Halloween store itself, Shriek Shack.
In addition to starring, Lind also produces Halloween Store alongside Kenneth Burke and Andrey Romanyuk. “Saturday Night Live” mainstay Kenan Thompson and Steven Schneider (Insidious, Paranormal Activity) are among the executive producers on the project.
The posters indicate Shriek Shack might be one fun romp of a destination this Halloween season.
Stay tuned for additional news and release details for Halloween Store.
