Much like cocreator Rob Liefeld, toy company NECA just can’t get enough Deadpool. Just over a year ago, they released an 18-inch action figure of the Merc With a Mouth that was the first Marvel comics-based figure in their quarter-scale series. Then, they rereleased it with a gray X-Force color scheme. Next, they announced a three-foot tall upscaled version of the figure. And now they have revealed an “Ultimate” version.
In their smaller scale, “Ultimate” usually means deluxe packaging, extra accessories, alternate heads, and the best articulation. Deadpool will be the first Ultimate in quarter-scale, and he already has the best articulation, but now he has two extra heads–one cut open to reveal his brain, and one unmasked to show his full pizza face.
And speaking of pizza, a melty slice to place atop his head is one of the bonus accessories, along with a bug gold chain, baseball cap, muzzle flash effects, plush unicorn, and (of course) a chimichanga.
Price has not been announced yet, but it’ll undoubtedly fall somewhere between the $105 range for the regular Deadpool and the $700 that the three-foot version runs. He’ll be in stores sooner than you think, too, with a May/June release planned. If he sells well, chances are you’ll see more Ultimates in this scale, and I’d put money on the equally pizza-faced Freddy Krueger being next.
While Fox Marvel movies don’t license movie-based action figures at the moment (that’ll change once the Disney merger is finalized), there’s a neat movie-related easter egg in this figure. It seems he has a certain actor on his brain at all times.
