When NECA revealed their Defenders of the Earth action figures at Toy Fair 2020, it was such a surprise for fans. Nestled somewhere between the horror toys and another wave of Ninja Turtles, if you blinked or didn’t know what you were looking at, you could have missed the majestic glory of these beautiful delights. And seriously, these sculpts and the creativity here, to me, is some of NECA’s best work. You can purchase all three together for $89.99 (this wave is comprised of Flash Gordon, Ming the Merciless, and Mandrake the Magician), a CASE of 12 from Entertainment Earth (wholesalers rejoice, for there are more than six!) or you can snag Ming or Flash Gordon on their own from BBTS. The wait is very much over, because these beauties are shipping this month!
