NECA Bringing Death from ‘Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey’ to SDCC 2017!
Just last year, NECA turned the Wyld Stallyns and the late George Carlin’s Rufus into retro-style Bill & Ted action figures, leaving many fans to wonder if the character of Death would be coming in the future. Played by William Sadler in 1991 sequel Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, “the man with no tan” is one of the series’ most beloved characters, and indeed NECA is bringing him to this year’s San Diego Comic Con!
The just announced SDCC 2017 exclusive brings Death into NECA’s retro-style toy line, and only 1,000 of the figures will be made. They’re set to retail at the event for $35.
Whether you call him the Duke of Spook, the Doc of Shock, or the Man with No Tan, Death is now a truly excellent clothed action figure. Life is great for Bill and Ted… until they’re killed by evil robots from the future! To cheat death, save the world from evil, rescue the princess babes, and be back in time to win the Battle of the Bands, they’ll need a little help from the Grim Reaper himself.
Death stands 8” tall and features the authorized likeness of William Sadler. The fully poseable figure has a mixed media fabric robe and cowl, and comes with a scythe accessory. Check out the awesome upcoming toy below!
SDCC 2017 kicks off on Thursday, July 20.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
