NECA Gets Interstellar License and Goes Retro - The Toyark - News

 

[Keegan]

Nice! Man, I really hope someone picks up the 1/6 license for this film...

 

[Sephiroth1089]

I'm glad someone is making Interstellar figures. Its one of my favorite movies of all time. I wish it wasn't the mego style but I'll pick these up. I really hope NECA decides to make Tars and Case.

Why 'retro'?

 

[ApeManRyan]

Pretty awesome!

 

[Sephiroth1089]

The retro style is weird. It would have been nice to get sculpted toys. Maybe they found out that they could probably reuse the pattern for the Taylor figure to make the suits for these guys?

Randy on twitter said no to TARS and CASE.

 

[Sephiroth1089]

I think Tars and Case would be hard to pull off in terms of articulation. Maybe they're waiting to see some interest in the line and if it does well they'll consider it.

Why 'retro'?

Because 'sometimes you have to go back to move forward'

Because 'sometimes you have to go back to move forward'

Bravo.

This looks cool though.

I assume they went with the MEGO style because it's cheaper and a license like Interstellar could be a risk.

Why 'retro'?

I get the sense a lot of the time with these "retro style" figures that it is less an artistic decision and more a shakey justification for making cheap looking crap.

Why 'retro'?

Exactly. They shouldn't be retro. This film did not exist in the 1970's. Planet of the Apes, sure, but NOT Interstellar.

thats what I think

But their "MEGO" figures cost more than their regular figures.

 

[zombieshane]

Back when the Django figures were announced, I asked Randy on twitter why they went with the MEGO style and he said its cheaper and they didn't have enough time to make actual action figures. But maybe they're more expensive because they're larger and come with "real clothes" and more accessories than most of their 7 inch figures.

I'm not a fan of these goofy-looking retro figures but I'm happy to see some Interstellar figures. I hope someone does make a TARS/CASE figure eventually and it would be great if maybe HT would make some 1/6 Interstellar figures.

Interetellar is too modern to have a retro treatment. I love the film, but this is an easy pass.
