NECA Mini-Statues (2005-2007)

With the demise of the toy line in 2004, various characters were not released as action figures. To fill the void in fans' collections, NECA announced a line of 6-inch, non-poseable mini-statues designed to complement the existing toys. These "staction figures" were produced until 2007, shortly before the launch of the Masters of the Universe Classics line.
