NECA never fails to impress with their always-popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Universal Monsters action figures. With plenty of details and impeccable packaging, NECA’s exclusives are always some of the most sought after at San Diego Comic-Con.
You’ll be able to stop by Booth #3545 all week for fun photo ops, like Greta in her wedding dress from Gremlins 2: The New Batch and E.T. in front of the iconic full moon background. Additionally, you’ll find Gremlins and Gremlins 2 star Zach Galligan signing in-person on Saturday, July 22 from 11am – 1pm, but note that he will only be signing the NECA Greta Gremlin figure.
They’ll also be giving away collectible posters featuring Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie figures, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series figures, and Rob Zombie’s The Munsters.
You can also Build-A-Create with five items worth $75 for only $25.
This year, you’ll find these NECA exclusive at Booth #3545.
[UPDATE June 7]
If you missed out on NECA’s exclusives, there’s good news for you: You’re getting a second chance! After canceling duplicate/bot orders, they’re putting up a limited number of exclusives for sale again on Wednesday, June 8 at 12pm PT their store.
Just like last time, it’s a limit of two per item per customer, and multiple orders will be cancelled. These items are pre-order only, and will ship after the con.
[UPDATE June 2] NECA has announced prices for each of their convention exclusives as well as how those folks at home can score them.
On Friday June 3 at 9am PT, they will be putting a limited stock up in their store. Items will be pre-orders and will not ship until after San Diego Comic-Con. There is a limit of two per item per customer, and multiple orders will be cancelled.

[UPDATE June 13]
There’s room for a little more — and that something more is a Zombo action figure. Singer, songwriter, and filmmaker Rob Zombie’s character in his upcoming film The Munsters is getting its own San Diego Comic-Con exclusive, packaged in a Crumble Creature Crackers box. The character was originally featured in a season two episode of the original The Munsters TV series, where he played a popular horror TV host. It will be available for $50.
[UPDATE May 26]
Man may be the warmest place to hide — and this San Diego Comic-Con exclusive is ice cold. Today, NECA is bringing fans an exclusive figure from John Carpenter’s The Thing. The figure, which is 7″ tall and features an LED light in the head, recreates the poster’s iconic burst of light. It also comes with interchangeable and removable faceplates, and comes packaged in a display-friendly 5th panel window box packaging styled after the film’s poster. This figure will be $50.
[UPDATE May 25]
NECA is taking you into the world of Dungeons & Dragons today with a brand new exclusive heading to San Diego Comic-Con. This Dungeons & Dragons – 4″ Scale Action Figures – Lost Wave 4 Pack features a set of “lost” Dungeons & Dragons action figures, reproduced to match the original prototypes that never saw release.
But NECA is bringing Pulvereye, Skylla, Kelek, and Valkeer to life in 4″ scale, with posable figures. Pulvereye, Kelek, Valkeer also feature awesome “Battlematic” action, and the set includes accessories and signature weapons, and an individual blister card for each figure styled like the original figure line. The set of four figures is packed in an outer logo box.
This set will be priced at $100.
[UPDATE May 24]
NECA’s second exclusive heading to San Diego Comic-Con is a Gremlins 2 7″ Scale Action Figure – Ultimate Wedding Greta. Here comes the bride, as this Gremlin from Gremlins 2: The New Batch stands 6″ tall, and is featured with synthetic hair, fabric wedding gown and veil, interchangeable hands, and a wedding bouquet. It all comes packaged in a display-friendly, wedding-themed 5th panel window box packaging.
Greta will cost $50.
[UPDATE May 23]
Up first, in honor of World Turtle Day, is NECA’s annual Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles exclusive. This year it will be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Cartoon) – 7” Scale Action Figures – Pre-Mutation 4 Pack.
The SDCC-exclusive box set is based on the classic cartoon and features Bebop and Rocksteady, Hamato Yoshi, and Baxter Stockman (making his action figure debut) — all in their human forms. The figures range from 5″ to 7″ tall, and feature over 30 points of articulation.
The set comes in deluxe packaging with a display-friendly 5th panel and window box paying homage to the classic home video illustrations, and includes accessories including interchangeable hands, fishbowl, tiny pet turtles, spray cans, boombox, crowbar, chain, butterfly net, Mouser, and more.
This year’s T.M.N.T. set will cost $150.
