NECA is the champion of the collector cause when it comes to the retail aisles. Over the last few years, NECA had raised the bar in the action figure development process, giving us some of the best interpretations of fan-demanded characters from a bevy of cult classics and mainstream staples. Their uncompromising commitment to aesthetics combined with their creative use of varying types of plastics and ingenious engineering guarantees that figures both look realistic and offer a wide range of unhindered articulation. Simply put, NECA is the Hot Toys of retail toys. Despite their commitment to delivering high-quality interpretations of characters, NECA's retail offerings--especially their 6-8-inch figures--are among the best value at retail when you consider price-point. We commend NECA's quality and value, and are pleased to award them our Retail Toy Company of the Year award.
