Get ready to re-animate your toy collection.
Oddly, various companies over the years have teased Dr. Herbert West action figures that never actually came to fruition, including Executive Replicas, SOTA Toys and Amok Time. The latter company at least released a 3.75″ West toy last year, though they haven’t yet made good on the promise of a larger size action figure.
But that’s okay. Because NECA is stepping in.
According to Licensing.biz, Creative Licensing has taken over all of the merchandise licensing activities for Re-Animator, and NECA is set to develop a line of collectible figures based on the film!
“I have been a longtime fan of Re-Animator and know that there are lots of comedy sci-fi collectors waiting for new Re-Animator figures,” said NECA’s Randy Falk. “It will be a perfect addition to NECA’s line.”
No word yet on what we can expect from NECA’s Re-Animator line, but Falk did reveal on Twitter that they won’t be “traditional figures.”
