This is great! They're finally doing action figures of my favorite movie of all time. www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/toyfare/006948757.cfm TOY OF THE DAY: PRINCESS BRIDE Their name is NECA. They're making Princess Bride Action Figures. Prepare to buy! By Jason F.C. Clarke Posted January 4, 2008 11:25 AM Just a few years ago it would have seemed inconceivable, but now NECA will finally be bringing us Princess Bride toys. With fan favorites Wesley and Inigo Montoya possibly shipping in the first series with more on the way and talk of a Fezzik and Fezzini 2-pack NECA has us salivating like rodents of unusual size. |

Hey, just because the film is named after her doesn't mean they'll make a figure - after all, that's a girl and girls are yucky!*

Hopefully they are not listing all the first series run...i mean, you would think she would be in the first run! But yay princess bride! I love that movie!

Amazing, I love this movie and it is even better that NECA is making them. NECA did an amazing job with the Pirates figures and an even better job with thier Harry Potter Figures.

I also love this movie. We've had it on tape since I was young.
I believe the lead males name was actually Westley, but I could be mistaken.
I made a promise that Neca's Harry Potter line would be the only Neca/McFarlane statue type stuff I would buy, as (whilst I appreciate the style) it's not my thing. I collect action figures.
But 300 is going to lure me in...for certain reasons! ;D
And these Princess Bride figures may as well. Depending ofcourse...I will not go near the line until they make Buttercup.

I always thought it was Wesley, but you're right! I check IMDB and it IS Westley with a "T". Thanks for the info! |

Does anyone know when we might see photos of other characters or is Neca not going forward with this line? It just seems like forever since we got any news.
