REVIEW: NECA’S THE BOYS HOMELANDER AND STARLIGHT
TOYFARCE REVIEWS:
NECA’S THE BOYS HOMELANDER AND STARLIGHT
It’s Wednesday, you know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!
This week, we’re checking out the Homelander and Starlight figures from the awesome TV series “The Boys” by NECA. NECA announced those earlier this year, as part of a Father’s Day exclusives deal with Walmart or Target, but the exclusivity was only temporary, and they were finally in stock at other retailers (BigBadToyStore, Entertainment Earth, …).
Usual nice looking NECA boxes
First off, Homelander, or “What if Superman was an asshole”. Homelander comes with 3 headsculpts (smirk, angry and “oh my god my eyes are gone” for the eye blast effect), 2 extra closed-fist hands and the eye blast effect. The smirk headsculpt looks a bit cartoony, but the angry one is spot on. His legs also look like they’re a bit shorter than they should be, or maybe he’s just all trunk. A glass of milk accessory is also clearly missing!

“I am the Homeander…”
“… and I can do whatever the fuck I want”
The texture details on the suit are nice
“You see, companies, they come and go, but talent… talent is forever.”
EYE BLAST EFFECT!
That scene when he’s just shooting in the crowd…
“What?”
“MY EYES!”
Starlight comes with fewer accessories, an extra headsculpt and extra hands/armbands. A light effect would have been great, especially since some of the promo pics let us to believe that there would be some.

The costume and cape have great details too
Mine had one slighlty crappy paint app on one of the eyes, which makes her look like she’s had a few drinks…
…but luckily, we don’t see it much from far!
“I’m supposed to be this hero, idol symbol, but I don’t know what the hell I’m doing.”
On the other hand, the other headsculpt is perfect.
“Since when did “hopeful” and “naive” become the same thing?”
“We’re all alone. That’s the truth”
Great figures from NECA. I can’t wait to add the rest of the Seven to the team, and hopefully get the Boys as well. So far, NECA has announced only Black Noir and A-Train during their Comic Con panel.
Two of the Seven
