I think it's a good time to start a thread about action figures because there are a few new ones in the making.

Neca has the license for 'Ash Vs Evil Dead' and has already tweeted about it and showed a few teases.

Neca also announced they will realase an Ash figure from 'Evil Dead 2' in their "ulimate" line.

And even more action figures, also Mezco has announced that they have the license for 'Evil Dead'. No further details at the moment about that.



Can't wait to get my hands on all of them!

Mezco's made some really nice stuff before; I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with the license.

I think the AveD Figures are supposed to his shelves somewhere in the early summer/late spring; I think May was mentioned as a shipping deadline?

Does anyone find it interesting that Universal's kind of backed off with the AOD license now that we're getting so many ED2 figures? You'd think they'd be jumping in and trying to take advantage of the wave.

The only one I'll be going for so far's the Bruce head sculpt from the Ash V ED range .. the detail, as other posters have already noted is incredible. It used to be a running joke here that no one could make an accurate Bruce face sculpt but this one's the best so far, I own a Bruce face cast and comparing the two, even though Bruce is older now than the cast .. wow ..

Will the Mezco line be stylized or accurate and will it be the remake or the original(s)? Would be interested to see how that comes out.

What's the difference between Mezitz and Mezco? .. different companies altogether? .. I've got the Mezitz AOD figures? ..

I THINK Mezits is a subbrand for Mezco. I think.

Mezitz is a line of stylized figures from Mezco. Much like Pop! Vinyls from FunKo.

I'm not sure I like it. Too many wrinkles.

He looks a tad squishy-faced; otherwise it's a pretty good likeness!

RE: Evil Dead action figures

I'm really digging it in the likeness department.

For me it all comes down to paint apps on the eyes. Product shots of hand painted prototypes are all well and good, but as we know once it goes into production that's where it can really go out the window.

The ED2 NECA figures had a nice overall sculpt, but the paint apps on the face were god awful, especially in the eye area. Ash looked like he had freshly waxed eyebrows.

The likeness is spot on, even if some of the wrinkles don't come through as subtly with the paint applied. The hairline is a little too blunt, and the eyebrows might be a bit too light. Then again, they're using dramatic lighting so it may look better in normal lighting.

Whatever, I'm obviously buying everything they make, so...

He looks a bit like a painted stone/clay statue of himself, which is actually not at all a bad thing!

I kind of want a separate, full-sized Lil Lori doll TBH.

Not an actual new figure, but a one-off custom vinyl produced by A Large Evil Corporation a little while back.

Kind of makes me want to see some Evil Dead animated in stop-motion.
