Toy Hunt: NECAs Dutch, Robocop, and Predator!

I’m on a bit of a NECA Toys kick lately, since I realized how sweet it is to be able to own pop culture icons from the 1980s all in the same scale. Read on to see three of the NECA figures I’ve aquired recently: Jungle Patrol Dutch, Robocop with Spring Loaded [...]

Donald F. Glut and The First Ever Spider-Man Film From 1969
