Gecco made their first New York Comic Con appearance with a stunning selection of statues and model kits.
Front and center was Gecco’s series of 1/16th scale zombie model kits, Tales from the Apocalypse. Series 1, available to order now (read our review HERE), includes three characters that set the tone for the undead story: The Heroine, the Truck Driver and the Traffic Guard. Arriving this winter will be the second assortment (see our story HERE). Set in a diner, this wave includes The Cook, The Biker and The Waitress. New on display at NYCC was wave 3, “Day 1 4:42 pm at a shopping mall”. This assortment marks the return of our Heroine, now armed and ready to fight the zombie menace, The Street Gang, and The Officer.
Also shown were detailed environmental dioramas. Gecco is looking to release these next year. These would not only make great bases for Gecco’s Tales from the Apocalypse model kits, but for action figures in general.
Another new collectible on display was an amazing statue of Cthulhu. Sculpted by Paul Komodo, the “Great Old One” comes to realistic life with paint by David Dill. Pre-orders are currently open at gecco.co.jp, the non-scale statue priced at $259.99 and sceduled to arrive in March 2017.
Last but not least was Gecco’s display of licensed PVC, and a new category for them, resin statues. “Souls of Cinder” from Dark Souls III was shown, the large resin sculpture releasing in 2017. “Oscar, Knight of Astora” was also teased. PVC statues from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain were shown, including Quiet (in stores now) and upcoming Venom Snake. collectors that purchase both characters have the opportunity to receive a free bonus figure: DD the puppy!
Bloodborne fans will receive the “Hunter’s Arsenal” in 2017, a collection of detailed 1:6th scale weapons including Hunter Axe ($48), Pistol & Torch ($39), and Whirligig Saw ($58). A Collection Board ($42) will be sold separately to display the Arsenal collection. Breaking news from NYCC was Gecco’s plans to release the Bloodborne Hunter, previously a PVC statue, as an articulated 1:6th scale ACTION FIGURE! Stay tuned for further news…
