Michael Keaton’s Batman, Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman and Danny DeVito’s Penguin action figures unveiled by NECA
NECA has unveiled two new 8-inch action figures inspired by Tim Burton’s Batman films, with Michael Keaton’s Dark Knight from the 1989 original joined by Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman and Danny DeVito’s The Penguin from the 1992 sequel Batman Returns. The figures go on up for pre-order on February 14th; check out the promotional images below…
From the iconic 1989 Tim Burton film that defined Batman for a modern generation, NECA presents this clothed Batman action figure featuring the likeness of Michael Keaton. Cloaked in shadow and driven by vengeance, the Batman strikes fear into the hearts of Gotham City’s criminal elite. Once terrified by bats, and psychologically damaged from the murder of his parents, the wealthy Bruce Wayne channels that fear into his alter ego of Batman, donning the cape and cowl to protect the streets of Gotham from low life criminals and eccentric villains alike. As mob bosses like Carl Grissom rule the city with unchecked power, and the madman known only as The Joker spreads chaos like wildfire, Batman is the last line of defense between Gotham and total collapse. Paying homage to vintage toy lines, this Batman figure wears tailored soft goods clothing, including a poseable cape with wire. Accessories include interchangeable hands and iconic Batman gadgets such as his Batarang and grapnel launcher. This 8-inch scale figure comes in window box packaging with slipcover.
NECA presents this clothed action figure of Catwoman from Batman Returns, featuring the authorized likeness of Michelle Pfeiffer, whose unforgettable performance in the 1992 Tim Burton film still defines the character. Selina Kyle, the repressed and belittled secretary of corrupt industrialist Max Shreck, leads an uneventful, ordinary life. That is, until he tries to kill her after she discovers his sinister secret to siphon off power from the Gotham electrical grid, giving Shreck full control of energy for Gotham City. After surviving the fall and being awakened by alley cats, she unleashes her true, fierce nature and is re-birthed as Catwoman.
She allies herself with The Penguin to exact revenge against Shreck and the Batman, who is trying to foil their criminal master plans. This 8-inch scale Catwoman figure wears tailored soft goods clothing inspired by vintage toy lines. Accessories include her whip, taser, interchangeable hands, and an alternate, battle-damaged final fight head. Comes in window box packaging with slipcover.
NECA presents this clothed action figure of The Penguin from Tim Burton’s 1992 masterpiece Batman Returns, featuring Danny DeVito in an unforgettable performance as the iconic villain. Abandoned as a child by his parents, he is now a reclusive and deformed man, with a twisted mind honed by rage and an insatiable need for revenge, hiding in the tunnels and sewers underneath Gotham City. The Penguin found a home and base of operations at the Arctic World Pavilion in the abandoned Old Gotham City Zoo. The Penguin and the Red Triangle Circus gang form an unlikely alliance with amoral business mogul Max Shreck that sends Gotham City and its residents into a frenzy of terror.
Paying homage to vintage toy lines, The Penguin figure is fully articulated and wears tailored soft goods clothing, including a poseable coat with wire. Accessories include top hat, monocle, fish snack, interchangeable gloved hands, and more. This 8-inch scale figure comes in window box packaging with slipcover.
