Figures
Since the popularity of the Evil Dead films has increased significantly the past decade, several companies have created their own lines of Evil Dead figures. These figures have mainly been based on Army of Darkness since it was the easiest license to for toy companies to aquire. We would love to see Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 figures, but for now we're stuck with Army of Darkness figures until one of these companies finds a way to aquire licenses for the first two films. Listed here are all Army of Darkness figures that have been released so far by company.
NECA
necaonline.comNECA, one of many collectable toy manufacturers first utilized the Army of Darkness license with head knocker figures of all things. They then moved on to producing a series of highly detailed cult classic figures similar to McFarlane's Movie Maniacs. They seemed to be the first company to get Ash's likeness down.
Mezco Toyz
mezcotoyz.comMezco Toyz, a popular collectable toy company produced a line of kubrick figures called Mez-Itz. Of course they had to make a set of Army of Darkness figures.
Palisades Toys
Palisades Toys before going out of business in 2006 produced two series of 4" scale Army of Darkness figures. The figures themselves were highly detailed and featured many points of articulation.
Dynamite Entertainment
dynamiteentertainment.comFrom the cover of the smash Army of Darkness comic book series Ashes to Ashes artist J. Scott Campbell's rendition of Ash is now available as a Dynamite Statue! Sculpted by Anthony Colella and standing a full 13 tall this piece captures every bit of the essence of Campbell's fan-favorite cover.
DIamond Select
diamondselecttoys.comThe largest distributor of comics in the US produced several Army of Darkness busts and statues not to mention plushies.
Sideshow Collectables
sideshowtoy.comSideshow Collectables a specialty manufacturer of licensed collectable figurines. The joined the Army of Darkness bandwagon with a set of limited edition 12 inch doll figures. The Ash figures were limited to 3,000 figures each while the Evil Ash was limited to 10,000. They also offer a 20" tall premium format Ash figure.
Mcfarlane Toys
spawn.comBetween 2000 and 2005 McFarlane Toys released several Army of Darkness figures and bundle packs in its Movie Maniacs line. In 2000 we got our first commercial release of an Ash figure in the Movie Maniacs series 3. 2001 saw the release of the first Evil Ash, an 18 inch talking Ash, and the Pite Deadite. A special double pack bundled Ash and the Pit Deadite. Finally in 2005 we get an Ash/Evil Ash bundle pack. Overall Mcfarlane did a poor job with Ash. The likeness of Ash was just not there although hey did a nice job on Evil Ash and the Pit Deadite figures. The figures featured a few points of articulation but were meant to be displayed, not played with.
