Shown below are some in-hand images for
NECA's new
Vintage Flash Gordon 7" Flash Gordon And
Ming figures which were offered through the NECA website this past summer as exclusives. If you pre-ordered them then you should expect to see them arriving at your front door soon. Mine came yesterday.
The figures are based on the original
1979 Flash Gordan action figure line from Mattel which were done for the animated series of the time. The coolest thing about these versions of the figures I would say is the packaging, which is a replica for what
Mattel used back in the day. The cardbacks on these new figures are made with a very thick stock so you don't have to worry to much about them getting bent or such.
I am keeping my figures in the package which I think is the best way to display these two. Each figure comes with a blaster extra right hand for holding the blaster.
On the back of the cardbacks we see other figures for
NECA's Defender Of The Earth line including the upcoming
Lothar and
Mandrake The Magician.
If you missed out on getting these this summer from
NECA, unfortunately they are sold out and would likely have to look to the secondary market to pick them up. However if the packaging isn't a big deal for you, then I would suggest you wait and get these two characters in
NECA's new
Original Superheroes Series wave 1. Both these figures with slight paint deco changes and added accessories including alternate heads are being released in that wave which is slated for release in January and available for pre-order now at our sponsor
EntertainmentEarth.
The Phantom is the third figure in the wave.
