NECA’S BATMAN/ALIENS & GREEN LANTERN/PREDATOR TWO-PACKS!
It’s Wednesday, you know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!
This week, we’re looking at the NYCC 2019 exclusive two-packs from NECA, that included a Batman figure with a Joker Alien, and a Green Lantern with a Yellow Lantern Predator! I had been on the lookout for those sets since they were announced. They were inevitably all scalped on eBay and people wanted over $200 for each set for a while, until one day, they started to randomly pop up at Walmart stores during 2020. This led to the prices going a bit down, and after waiting for a while, I found someone in a Facebook group that would sell them at a reasonable price (I still overpaid, but they were only $15-20 more than retail, which was $59,99).
When NECA made DC Comics figures… and did it really well!
First off, the Batman and Aliens set. I knew I wanted that set since I first saw that Batman figure. It’s a hell of a nice Batman figure! At the time, DC Collectibles/Direct and Mattel were the only ones in town doing DC figures, so seeing that NECA version was a nice surprise. Then, there is that Joker-looking Xenomorph, which is better than having a basic, normal Xenomorph! I’ll take a variation of the normal Xenomorph any day!
The Green Lantern/Predator set ended up being the most interesting one, in the sense that it not only gave us a great Hal Jordan figure, but also a Yellow Lantern Predator, which would be terrifying, when you think about it. The Yellow Lantern corps’ emotion being fear, the Predator would be a great asset for them.
I would lie if I said I wanted those sets for the Alien and Predator figures over the DC Comics ones, but in the end, both figures in each set ended up being great. NECA still did an awesome job with those DC figures. I’d love them to revisit that down the line. There is also an ‘Armored Batman’ and Predator, and a Superman with a normal Xenomorph two-packs, which I might get someday, but those were really my priority, considering Batman and Green Lantern are my favorite characters.
