NECA knocked the sculpts out of the park and truly captured everything, character-wise, I love about these TF2 characters. These guys look EXACTLY like their video game dopplegangers. I haven’t had a chance to try them yet, but if you do a quick google search you can probably find out what they do. He also comes with his two default guns, the grenade and a sticky grenade launchers.īoth come packed with an exclusive game code for unlocking special goodies in Team Fortress 2. Pyro comes with a cool axe and of course, his massive flamethrower.ĭemoman sports a set of extra hands, one with booze perma-fixed to his grip. The character renders on the front should give you a pretty good idea of how well NECA matched the character’s look. but because it makes me destroy something I’d rather keep intact.Īnyway, it’s nice looking and you’ll know what to expect. not because I don’t like the way it looks. Readers may know of my preference for collector friendly packaging over bubble/card action. A Bubble prison on a card with some bright artwork and fun stuff to read on the back. most likely before he was ever able to properly settle in at your local retail chain or toy shop, both he and Demoman share a fairly standard, retail-esque package scheme. I got a chance to preview a few of their upcoming figures at SDCC last year and I couldn’t have been more excited for the first two releases, Pyro and Demoman, to hit my doorstep!ĭespite Pyro selling out so quickly. Well, look what we have here. Oh NECA, you sly fox you. It couldn’t be some homage or “you get the idea” kind of deal. Whoever tackled them would have to handle it just right to capture the true essence of each character. These couldn’t be tossed together for mass consumption. The character designs are perfect for it. I’ve wanted someone, somewhere to make action figures of them since day one. Valve did a bang up job releasing a plethora of introduction trailers for each class that endeared them even more to current players and skyrocketed the popularity of the title to those who hadn’t yet dipped their toes in. With it’s Pixar-styled good looks, a touch of semi-graphic violence and the fantastic personalities of the playable classes, it’s like super glue disguised as magnets for FPS fans. It’s amazing how the vitality of this game has remained so high for so long since it’s release in ’07. If you collect figures though, you will understand that this is not unique to Neca, but most 1:12 companies and I will state that this entire line hasn't b een anywhere as bad as others I have collected.Īll in all I'd still recommend Medic and the rest of the boys to anyone who enjoys the game as well as collecting.Ah. For example, my Medic was missing paint on the bottom of his belt buckle and my Sokdier was missing paint on his lapels. Revisit with a hairdryer blast and slowly work the joints.Īside from that one major issue across the entire line, I have also noted some paint issues when removing the Tf2 lineup straight from the packaging. Knowing that posing these figures can be quite unforgiving, I suggest arming yourself with a hairdryer or some hot water to loosen the ball joints before posing and be very careful - if you feel like you need to force it to move, DONT. Every TF2 figure I have purchased has the same issue - tight as heck joints!
