NECA Quint Action Figure Is Confirmed For 2021

Our trips to Martha's Vineyard had been cancelled, our tickets to see The Shark Is Broken were now just bits of paper, even Bruce at the Academy Museum kept on being pushed back, currently expected at the end of September 2021.

But at least we still had the Chief Brody and Quint NECA figures to look forward to, right? Well, come September, even Chief Brody had done a Roy Scheider and jumped ship: Chief Brody NECA Action Figure Cancelled Chief Brody NECA Action Figure Cancelled

So, that leaves Quint. Last we had heard was that the NECA figure had been pushed back to early 2021. And new images of the figure released by NECA confirm that you can't keep a good shark hunter down.

Is a lone Quint something you are still interested in? It's anticipated that he'll arrive in March.

According to the NECA website Quint will feature 'the licensed likeness of Robert Shaw as Quint from the 1975 classic. Standing at 8″ tall, the seasoned shark hunter is equipped with screen accurate accessories and tailored clothing.'

It's genuinely hard not to get excited by that prospect, there was never any mention of a Hooper - with or without screen accurate city hands - and we can only guess why the Brody figure is current no longer on the cards.

One huge thing on the horizon though is the mention of an in-scale Great White Shark to go with Quint later in the year.

And how big is that going to be? Cue, that's a 20 footer, 25 jokes aplenty. But, in all seriousness, this shark is set to look pretty big. Here is an image of it in the design stage earlier in the year. We know, right?

So, that also begs another question. We are still getting Quint, and we know that the Great White Shark is on its way, wouldn't it be rude for us not to have an in-scale Orca to go with it. Yes, it would.

And whilst we are at it, could be also have an 8 inch Mayor Vaughn with swappable suits? Just sayin'.

NECA announced a Bruce-shark in progress and we can’t wait to see it!

Have you still got NECA Quint on order? Are you excited about a to scale shark to go with him? And how would you feel about a scale Orca to round it all off?
