So let's kick things off with a look at NECA's display from Toy Fair.
--- Thanks to Toyark.com for the pics. Give them a visit for more great Toy Fair coverage! ---
NECA is my favorite America toy company at the moment. Not only do they get some of the best licenses, but their quality and execution are top-notch! Not to mention that their prices are outstanding-- especially compared to Hasbro and Mattel.
In the 1/4 scale arena, NECA showed three new figures-- Batman from the video game Arkham Origins, The Joker from The Dark Knight film, and Master Chief from Halo!

Next up is a look at plenty of new Predator product-- including their first vehicle, the Blade Fighter (with Viper Predator Pilot) which measures over two feet long!!

Predator Series 12 will be based on the Dark Horse Predator comic series titled "Bad Blood" along with a re-release and updated version of the Elder Predator from Predator 2.

For their Aliens line, NECA unveiled four new figures and the Power Loader!!
Randy Falk from NECA has always said that they'd never do a Power Loader if they couldn't get the likeness rights to do Ripley. Does this mean that she's on her way?! Let's hope so!
But shown this weekend was a slew of beautiful looking figures, including (Wave 3) Kane in Nostromo Space Suit, Bishop and the Dog Alien. Also shown was Dallas in Nostromo Space Suit who will be coming in Wave 4.

There were two new additions to the Robocop and Rambo lines.
Looks like we'll soon be getting a Robocop from the third film complete with Jetpack.
Also coming is the definitive version of Rambo that everyone has been waiting for, Rambo from First Blood: Part II.

| RAMBO FROM FIRST BLOOD: PART 2 |
And, finally, last be so very far from least, my most anticipated item coming from NECA this year, the oversized (normally 1/4 scale) Knifehead from Pacific Rim!
It looks like the sculpt is very much the same as the just released version of the 6" scale figure, except that this one will include a light-up feature for the eyes and mouth! And look at the size of this thing compared to Gypsy Danger! It's a literal beast!!
