First Look at The Invisible Man, The Phantom and Box-Art
In NECA NEWS, action figure designer James Groman of James Groman Design LLC took to social media this morning with some sneak peak pictures of some test samples he received from NECA. The unreleased figures are from the TMNT/Universal Monsters line in which he has been responsible for designing. The images shared shows Donatello as The Invisible Man as well as Casey Jones as The Phantom. In the post Groman also shouted out Tony Cipriano and Paul Harding as the sculptors behind the figures. He also made sure to give credit to Daniel Horne as the cover artist. NECA’s Senior Graphic Designer Chris Raimo even chimed into the comments recounting his role on this project: “I’m the packaging designer on these, your concepts are incredible and it’s been such an honor to work on them!“
With so many talented individuals on this team, it’s no surprise how well these figures turned out and in turn have been received by fans, us included. We cant wait to add these figures to the existing lineup which include: Splinter as “Van Helsing,” April O’Neil as “The Bride of Frankenstein,” Michelangelo as “The Mummy,” Leonardo as “The Hunchback,” and Raphael as “Frankenstein’s Monster.”
The TMNT/Universal Monsters line is one of our absolutely favorite ongoing lines and we cant wait to see what more comes out in the future. Now that they’ve revealed all the good guys we can only imagine what they might produce for the other side. Will we get a Shredder or a Foot Soldier, maybe even a Bebop and Rocksteady? Only time will tell. But if you want to grab any of these figures a few of them are still up for preorder, and a couple in-stock at our affiliate Entertainment Earth. Preorders have yet to start for Casey Jones but we’ll be sure to update you all as soon as we know more.
