SDCC 2025: NECA Product Preview

Good afternoon everyone, today is the first day of San Diego Comic Con 2025 and that means a toy of toy news will be coming at ya all day and over the course of the weekend! So, buckle up, sit tight, and we'll take you on a ride.

Again, we would like to thank Toyark for reporting on these.

Let's take a look at what NECA showed off during their breakfast preview and it's quite a lot, so we'll be breaking it down into the different themes/IPs. Also, I believe almost everything here is available to pre-order at various retailers.

Sesame Street

I'm going to apologize right now, I'm not familiar with a few of these characters, I know six of the eight characters.

Herry Monster (I had no clue who this was, it took a while to even figure it out as well)

Oscar the Grouch

Big Bird

Grover

Blue Skinned Business Guy (I have no clue who this and I couldn't figure it out with Google)

Ultimate Bert

Ultimate Ernie

Ultimate The Count

While I grew up on Sesame Street, I won't be collecting these figures.

DC Animated

These kind of look like the Toony Terrors line, so I'm guessing the DC Animated line with like that with super stylized proportions. There were only three characters shown with another three repaints of the same characters. The repaint set seem to be based off of the 1992 Batman Returns film as well.

Batman

Catwoman

The Penguin

Ben Cooper Costume Kids Collection

Like Jon Snow, I know nothing when it comes to what these are but upon my Google sessions, I did find out that the Ben Cooper Costume Kids Collection by NECA is a tribute to the beloved Halloween costumes of the mid-20th century, reimagined as collectible action figures that capture the essence of vintage trick-or-treating experiences.

Tiki Terror

Garfield

Pee-Wee Herman

Predator

Michael Myers

Pennywise the Clown

Leatherface

Art the Clown

Billy Jack the Puppet

The Fly

Planet of the Apes ape

Godzilla

Dungeons and Dragons characters (I have no clue who they are besides War Duke)

Jaws

Tarman

I'm sure these are neat to people who grew up with these style Halloween costumes, I only remember having an Egon Spengler from The Real Ghostbusters costume that was like this so I don't really have any nostalgia for these.

Universal Monsters

So, these are right up my alley. The Universal Monsters are classic and iconic, I don't know a single person alive that doesn't know the Universal Monsters and as someone who grew up just 2 hours north of Universal Studios Florida (I know, not really the same as Universal Studios Hollywood where the actual films were made back in the 1920s), they have a very special place in my heart.

Invisible Man

Metaluna Mutant

Phantom of the Opera

The Mummy Imhotep

Bride of Frankenstein

Frankenstein's Monster

Classic Movie Monster The Mummy

Classic Movie Monster Frankenstein (NECA has the wrong terminology here, it should be Frankenstein's Monster)

Classic Movie Monster Dracula

Classic Movie Monster The Wolfman

I'm not going to collect them all but those carded Classic Movie Monster figures are a must buy for me.

Gallery

Horror

This is where the bulk of today's reveals are, which some don't exactly belong here, but the Horrow banner is the closest for those figures. I'm not going to list every single figure, it's a lot and we'd have a giant run on article if I did, so instead I will be putting what each movie (or series) the figures represent.

Surfs Up Chucky

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice

Hammer Horror

Terrifier

IT

Texas Chain Saw Massacre

House of 1,000 Corpses

Evil Dead

Ghost Face

Halloween Movies

Friday The 13th

American Werewolf in London

The Howling

Predator: Hunting Grounds

Predator Badlands

Alien Romulus

Jaws

The Munsters

The Golden Girls (Why, why are these included with the Horror stuff)

Honestly, none of these are of interest to me. I know the Horror brand stuff are hot sellers for NECA but they're just not for me, although I did own a ton of the first series of Predators and Friday the 13th.

Gallery

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

There are a lot of TMNT reveals and just like the Horror stuff, I'm only going to post what line they're a part of. I will say this though, I'm going to go crazy hunting down some of these, I absolutely love the Mirage line, the cartoon line stuff, and the new Usagi style Turtles are beautiful.

TMNT Cartoon Series

Garfield x TMNT

TMNT 2012

The Last Ronin

TMNT Comic Series

TMNT x Universal Monsters

TMNT Movie

There are quite a few here that I'll be buying; but mainly the 2012 Turtles and the Usagi Turtles.
