Thank you to NECA Toys for providing their Toony Classics Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure Figures for review.
Availability: December 2020
Bill and Ted are packaging in a window box, with nicely done artwork, including the Wild Stallions logo on the front, and the back features images of the figure, the logo and a description.
Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventures cartoon series aired in 1990, with the actors Keanu Reeves, Alex Winters and others reprising their film roles. The second season however the cast was replaced, and the new cast even kept their roles in the short lived live-action television series.
These figures are based on the first season of the series, and have the animated likeness of actors Keanu Reeves and Alex Winters reprising their roles. These are part of the Toony Classics offerings from NECA, with limited articulation and animated inspired style and deco, just we’ve seen with Ace Ventura, Back to the Future, and Bob Ross.
Ted comes in a white tee shirt, a black vest, orange and white shorts, black and beige shoes, with some grey on the inside of the sides and red stockings on top. As with all other Toony and Terror Classics, he has minimal articulation, including a ball jointed head, and swivel arms. He’s sculpted in a static pose to play his guitar, which includes a strap to place over his head and hand down. The handle part can rest on his left hand, and his right hand a piece to play the strings. The likeness looks really good, including the facial details, with the open mouth, with a painted tongue and teeth. The guitar is painted in a dark grey, light grey, black strings, and a beige bandage at the end.
Bill comes in a dark tan shirt that is short and leaves his belly button exposed, and has torn sleeves, He also has what looks to be a sweatshirt tied around his waist and is painted in a dark blue, red and beige shoes with blue stockings. The head sculpt also looks great with the sculpted facial details and hair, and the tongue and teeth are also painted. He also has minimal articulation, including a ball jointed head, swivel arms and a swivel torso. He also comes in a guitar that is painted in yellow, beige, and black strings. The strap is also made of a soft plastic and can be placed over his head, and the wrench can also be placed on the grey part of it.
Overall, these are fun looking figures and fans of the Toony Classics, Toony Terrors, fans of the franchise and NECA collectors will surely want to get their hands on this set. It goes great with the line and you are sure to love the attention to detail and fun vibe this brings.
