National Entertainment Collectibles Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Entertainment Collectibles Association or NECA is an American manufacturer of collectibles typically licensed from films, sports, music and television based out of New Jersey. The company was founded in 1997 and has over 60 licenses for which it produces products .
In 2002, NECA's Reel Toys was formed as a division to produce action figures and dolls that are targeted towards action figure and toy enthusiasts. They are intended for teens and adults as collectibles for many licenses that no other company would really try to market as a toy.
NECA is best known for obtaining licenses such as The Silence of the Lambs and V for Vendetta.
