NECA's Street Scene Diorama: Wish Fulfilled!

NECA's Street Scene Diorama
In a world where Barbie gets houses, sports cars, private planes and full sets of glamping gear, the lonely 6-7 inch action figure collector is left crying in the rain. We were raised with playsets for each line we collected. Gargoyles got a castle. He-Man got a castle. Crystar got a castle. The freakin lion from Narnia....CASTLE!! Ok maybe it wasn't the lion's castle, but one of those movies got a castle and I bought the thing because...CASTLE!! I've always loved playsets, and as I grew older and shifted from going pew pew with my figures to setting them up in elaborate displays and action shots for photography, playsets became an essential tool. In the last few years, playsets have made a return with towering batcaves, turtle lairs and technological outposts from which Ben 10 and other cartoon heroes can defend the planet, but aside from these gimmick filled, cardboard enhanced, kid friendly kingdoms, there hasn't been much for toy photographers to work with. Then NECA answered the call!

NECA have always been a company making the things we love, because, quite simply, they love them too. You bought a pack of Predators? Here's a trophy wall to go with it. You love Friday the 13th? Great..here's every Jason ever and a box of accessories. Now NECA ups their game with a MASSIVE city street diorama.



"At over 2 feet wide, over 18 inches tall, and over a foot deep, it’s massive enough to display more than 30 figures at once. The three levels offer multiple display options, plus it has clear window panels and a full color cardboard backdrop which is reversible for both daytime and nighttime display options."

 So...is this the beginning of an experiment? Have sales been fantastic enough for more dioramas? CAN WE DREAM ABOUT ADD ON PACKS FOR THIS SET??!! Oh damn, you know i'm dreaming of more.
