NECA Get's E.T. License
by Jay Cochran in NECA at 10:49 AM on 2011.10.10



The National Entertainment Collectibles Association, Inc. (NECA) announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Universal Partnerships & Licensing to produce consumer products around the 30th Anniversary of the film E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial next year.

An unforgettable adventure filled with unparalleled magic and imagination, E.T: The Extra Terrestrial, follows the moving story of a lost little alien who befriends 10-year-old Elliott. Director Steven Spielberg’s heartwarming masterpiece is one of the brightest stars in motion picture history, and it continues to captivate audiences around the world.

Merchandise will include action figures, plush, toys, bobble heads, giftware, and more. Initial product launch will begin in March 2012.

“We’re very excited to bring E.T. back to toy shelves and to new generations of fans and collectors worldwide,” said Randy Falk, Director of Product Development at NECA.

I might buy a good E.T. It would go well with Star Wars.

Heck, Sideshow should automatically have the E.T. rights because E.T.s were seen in Phantom Menace.

Those Gremlins Mogwais are brilliant figures. I look forward to seeing the ET stuff!

I'd buy a boxed set of Elliot on his bike w/ ET in the basket. You could display that with any Spielberg merch since it's the Amblin logo.

I think rights might be for E.T. only...

First look!

Replica hand?... weird

 

[Nintenjoe]

the hand is weird, but the figures look cool. if hot toys gets the license, i'd love to see an et and elliot 2 pack with the bicycle.

ET's spaceship gives him a big ol' doggy boner!

 

[Darth Waller]

I guess the replica hand is better than the finger they did back in 1982.

 

[a-dev]

The hand! My god they'll make anything. So now I can go 'Ouchhh' in a creepy voice while pointing at people! Great, what I've always wanted!

 

[Bo Shrek]

I wonder if you can put on the hand and use it for..............a forget it!!!!

I don't think HT has any Universal Studios figures... it would be cool though...

Apparently it's based on a vintage "boner-free" one by LJN

I'm sure that was a popular E.T. item for moms...
Mom: "Hey Jimmy, can I borrow one of your E.T. toys, honey?"

[nekromantik]

Ha Ha!

I love the film but doubt I would ever buy anything to do with ET though. Gremlins on the other hand would be cool!

Oh God I could see the hand becoming a weird sex fetish thing.......

if someone owns both the finger and the hand but they are not a big fan of E.T. I would be very suspicious...
(thank god the finger lights up and not vibrate LOL)
