Is there a reason that Resident Evil has had so few articulated toy lines, compared to its popularity?
There was the Toybiz line in the late nineties, and the NECA semi-statues a decade later, but that’s about it. I’m not particularly knowledgeable about Japanese import premium figures, but it seems like even among those, there’s only been the very occasional Resi figure.
It’s strange to me because of how popular not only the series itself has been, but also how hugely popular zombies in general have been at times in the last 25 years.
I get that the level of gore probably keeps them out of the toy aisles, but I’m surprised there’s not more collector-level stuff.
Tangential question: What are some of the best zombie action figures? Anything between (and including) 3.75-7” size.
