NECA King Features 7” Scale Action Figure – Original Superheroes Flash Gordon

This is a great figure! The face has an amazing sculpt. Very articulated. The only down is Neca figures can have joints that are very stiff out of package and can break if forced to hard. Usually dipping figure uh hot water will loosen those up. Other that that I'm glad I bought the figure and the others Neca has put out in this sci Fi line.

The first Flash Gordon from Neca, the Defenders of the Earth version, was a great figure but had some massive flaws; The plastic Neca used was brittle and would easily break if not careful, so actually posing the figure around was dangerous. Also everything was just molded in Red and then painted. This meant that the figure had a cakey finish, and whenever you used the articulation the paint would scrape away revealing the red plastic underneath.With this Original Superheros version Neca has corrected both of those problems; The plastic used is a softer more pliable material which means there is less of a chance of anything snapping when you pose it around. They also molded everything in their appropriate colored plastic. Hands are molded in flesh color, boots are molded in black, etc. Which honestly is such an obvious move I don't know why they didn't go that route in the first place.This, Phantom, and Ming are all fantastic and huge improvements over their Defenders of the Earth versions. If you're into these classic pulp characters I'd say this is as good as it's going to get. It'd be nice if Neca continued this line with other classic heroes like Dick Tracy, The Shadow, Zorro, etc. but even if they don't, these will be a fantastic addition to anyone's collection.

Action figure is very cool, very detailed. Not thrilled that such a collectible item was sent with a very ripped box (see picture). Seems like someone ripped it open, decided to return it, and they sent it to me. Keeping it because LUCKILY I know the recipient will take out of the box, but they should be more careful with these types of items, as they are usually wanting to be kept in excellent condition, new in box.

DOES NOT STAND TOO GOOD

Al fin tengo al auténtico Flash Gordon de mi infancia. La figura tiene una pintura, esculpido y textura Asombrosa. Impecable y preciosa caja retro con estilo de arte simulando desgaste temporal. El tono de la piel es el color natural del mazizo plástico empleado y a diferencia de la línea anterior de "Los Defensores" podemos cambiar y poner accesorios tantas veces queramos sin desprendimiento de pintura, pues hasta la pistola y mango de la espada también es el color del plástico sin pintura para evitar manchas y desprendimientos de las mismas. Sus 33 puntos de articulación son excelentes para poner poses impresionantes. La pistola luce muy bien en su funda, pero la funda ha de quedar abierta si tiene el arma puesta, esto es así y no trates de forzar para que cierre. El material empleado hace ver por su propio peso que es de alta calidad. Si miramos con lupa es normal que encontremos algún puntito de resto de pintura en algún lugar, algo normal en una figura de 18 cms que incluye tanto contraste de color, pero a día de hoy puedo asegurar que es la figura que más luce y resalta en mi colección de figuras de acción, siendo además mi personaje del cómic favorito de todos los tiempos que parece haber saltado de la viñeta. Muy contento con la compra. Atención: No dudes nunca de que independientemente del vendedor que sea JAMÁS te encontrarás un Neca falso gestionado por Amazon, además hay puntos clave para detectar un Fake de un original, los Fakes jamás tienen realce de venas, las articulaciones son más notorias y la musculatura tiene mucha menos definición y sombreado. Es decir, pasa por 4 controles de calidad; fabricante, distribuidor, vendedor y Amazon. Una Joya este Flash.

Great action figure, lovely sculpted with different articulations to provide different pose and with accessories. Unfortunately the cardboard box had a tear on the top of the box, where there is a paper hook hang, giving the impression that the item was mishandled. No good for who likes to collect and keep it untouched and this misfortune happened more than once with other items bought on Amazon. This figure comes from Amazon US so it takes a little bit longer to be delivered but it is worthy. Action figure 10, cardboard box nice retro design but because of the tear 7.

I bought this for my grandson who waiting ages for it to be delivered and then once opened was broken in literally 5 mins. The sword broke in 2 with minimal pressure. He collects all these type of figures and doesn't play with them just shows them on his shelf. For the amount of money it cost I am very disappointed with it and wish I hadn't wasted my money.
