Usually, fictional characters get to be immortalized as action figures, but today, Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro is getting his very own. Guillermo del Toro may not have directed a lot movies compared to other A-list directors, but each and every film he produced, directed and/or wrote was not only a hit, but has attained somewhat of a cult status. My most fond memories were no doubt 1993’s Cronos and Pan’s Labyrinth from 2006.
This being a NECA thing, don’t expect it to be of exceeding likeness or ultimate collector equality. While Toy Ark lauded its the head sculpt to the director’s, I don’t quite see it that way. Moreover, from what we can see, the clothes are rather ill fitting – an unavoidable issue due to the thickness of the cloth. Still, it will make a good collectible and a nice addition to your all-thing Guillermo del Toro collections. But…
There is just one problem: only 2,000 of these are being made and fans already had the opportunity to pre-order the figure a few weeks ago, and so, getting may be a problem if you are non heading to SDCC. You can read a review of it and see more photos on Toy Ark.
