NECA DC 8 inch Clothed Superheroes Preorders

Up, up, and away! The wait is finally over, folks! Those amazing NECA DC 8 inch Clothed Superheroes that we first got a look at during SDCC 2026 in our booth images coverage are now officially up for preorder at BigBadToyStore, and boy are we thrilled! I have to say, as someone who grew up absolutely loving the retro Mego-style clothed figures, seeing NECA bring this format to DC’s finest heroes just fills my collector heart with so much joy. There are four figures available right now, with shipping expected between Q4 2026 and Q1 2027 depending on the figure. First up, we’ve got the 1966 Classic TV Series Batman based on the legendary Adam West portrayal, and this one ships the earliest in Q4 2026. I love how they included “Batusi” hands as interchangeable accessories, along with a Batarang with string and a walkie talkie. How fun is that?! Then there’s the 1978 Superman based on the iconic Christopher Reeve film, complete with a NECA flight stand, flying hands, and fisted hands. I always loved that movie, and seeing it captured in this retro clothed format is super exciting. On the comic book side, we’ve got a classic DC Comics Superman with an incredible accessory loadout including interchangeable heads, flying hands, fisted hands, laser eye beam and blast effects. And rounding things out is a DC Comics Green Lantern that comes with an interchangeable John Stewart head, green blast effects, and the iconic lantern accessory. The fact that you can display him as either Hal Jordan or John Stewart is really cool. All four figures feature tailored soft goods clothing and come in collector-friendly window box packaging, which I know a lot of us really appreciate. NECA is clearly going all in on this line and I can’t be more excited to see where they take it. Will we see more characters join the roster? Only time will tell, but this is one amazing start. So let’s take a look at the NECA DC 8 inch Clothed Superheroes preorders!

Where to Buy

You can preorder the figures at the following retailers below

Superman (1978 Movie) 8″ Clothed Action Figure

Covered in that rich blue woven fabric, the 1978 Superman really channels the Christopher Reeve film here, with the cape’s red exterior catching a bright, saturated tone that feels distinctly different from the comic-styled version’s deeper red. The spit curl on this head sculpt has a softer, more naturalistic wave to it compared to the comics figure, and the face carries a likeness with higher cheekbones and a subtler brow line that feels unmistakably Reeve.

The 1978 Superman’s belt has a warm, golden-yellow tone with a small oval buckle at center, flanked by red keeper loops that match the trunks, and the whole piece feels like a faithful nod to the film’s costume design. His boots have fine horizontal crease lines sculpted across the toes and a slightly tapered shape at the ankle that sells the fitted, screen-accurate look of the Reeve-era suit.

You can see how the 1978 Superman’s S-shield has a slightly glossier, more plasticky finish compared to the comics version’s printed look, with the yellow S sitting against a deeper, more crimson red field that matches the film’s color palette. The fisted hands on this version have a warmer, pinker skin tone than the comics figure, and the blue fabric has a tighter, finer weave that hugs the body more closely, really selling that Reeve-era spandex look.

The 1978 Superman’s cape collar attaches with a clean, folded seam that sits flat against the neckline without bunching, and the red fabric has a soft, almost matte cotton quality that feels true to the retro toy line inspiration. I noticed that the S-shield on this version has its yellow border extend into sharper, more angular points at the top corners than the comics figure, matching the distinctive diamond proportions of the Reeve-era emblem design.

One detail worth pointing out is how the 1978 Superman’s head sculpt has a slightly narrower jawline than the comics version, with softer skin texture around the mouth and chin that lends itself to that Christopher Reeve likeness. The cape drapes with a gentle outward flare at the shoulders here, and the blue fabric’s tight weave catches the light differently across the chest and arms, giving the suit a subtle tonal variation that keeps it from reading as one flat color.

Suspended on the NECA flight stand, the 1978 Superman’s flying hands have a slightly more relaxed finger splay than the comics version, with the thumb tucked closer to the palm for a naturalistic, film-accurate feel. The cape’s red fabric billows with real body here, and the golden-yellow belt buckle catches a warm highlight that ties together the trunks and the boots in a cohesive color story.

The pair of open palm swap hands displayed alongside the figure have a slightly cupped shape with the fingers held close together, and the sculpted palm lines and knuckle creases give them a lifelike quality that the fisted hands can’t quite convey. I like that these flying hands share that same warm, pinkish skin tone seen on the fists, keeping everything consistent when you swap them out for airborne poses on the flight stand.

Batman Classic TV Series Batman 8″ Clothed Action Figure

Clad in a tailored gray fabric bodysuit with deep metallic blue trunks, gloves, and cowl, Batman nails that 1966 Adam West look with the yellow bat emblem sitting perfectly against the chest. I like how the utility belt has individually sculpted pouches in bright yellow with a brass-toned buckle, and the soft goods cape drapes naturally with a subtle sheen to the fabric.

Here’s a closer look at the cowl sculpt, where the eyebrows are carved with clean, angular lines and the nose bridge has a subtle green tint that matches the show’s screen-used suit. The boots have a gorgeous metallic blue finish that matches the gloves, with fine creasing sculpted across the toe area for a realistic leather look.

You can see how the “Batusi” hands really sell the moment here, with each finger individually sculpted and spread wide in that classic dance move from the show. The cape falls with a nice weight to it, and those scalloped edges at the bottom keep it looking distinctly Batman even in a lighter, goofier pose.

Batman’s walkie talkie is a fun little accessory, with dual antennae and a compact, boxy shape that looks right at home with the ’66 aesthetic. Something I appreciate here is how the gray fabric bodysuit has a fine woven texture that keeps it from looking flat, adding a subtle dimensionality to the figure’s overall silhouette.

The Batarang is a great little sculpted piece, with its curved, finned silhouette and a length of string coiled around it that really sells the classic gadget feel. I like how the metallic blue gloves have those pronounced scalloped fins at the gauntlet, giving his hands a sharp, screen-accurate profile every time he’s holding an accessory.

Outfitted with a set of standard fisted hands here, you can see how the articulation at the wrists and elbows gives clean, natural bends without the fabric bunching up around the joints. The cowl sits flush against the jawline with a tight seam where it meets the skin tone of the lower face, and the chin sculpt has a confident, squared-off shape that really channels Adam West.

It’s cool to see Batman with the walkie talkie up close like this, where the small silver antennae catch your attention against the deep blue of the gloves. The yellow bat emblem on the chest pops against the gray fabric, and the cape’s collar has a pleated ruffle where it gathers around the neckline that adds a tailored, almost theatrical touch.

I noticed that the metallic blue of the cowl has a slightly different sheen than the gloves, with the cowl reading almost purple under warmer lighting while the gloves stay a cooler, deeper blue. The utility belt’s buckle has a slightly bronze, antiqued tone that contrasts nicely against the bright yellow pouches, and you can just make out the bat emblem’s yellow wings peeking from beneath the cape’s drape.

Here’s a closer look at how the Batusi hands interact with the cowl, where you can see the spread fingers framing those sculpted eyebrow ridges in a way that really captures the show’s campy charm. The cape’s dark blue fabric has a matte finish on the interior lining that contrasts with the shinier outer surface, and the pleated collar fans out naturally around the shoulders without overwhelming the figure’s proportions.

Batman comes equipped with a solid spread of accessories laid out here, including four interchangeable hands, the Batarang on its string, and the walkie talkie. I think it’s neat that the swap hands include both a grip pair and the Batusi pair, giving you a nice range of display options right out of the box.

Green Lantern 8″ Clothed Action Figure

Green Lantern’s construct effect is a translucent green four-pointed star burst that plugs onto the ring fist, and it absolutely glows against the darker tones of his suit. The fabric costume nails that classic Hal Jordan color split, with rich green panels along the torso and shoulders transitioning into solid black at the sides and legs, and the Lantern emblem on the chest is crisp and well-placed.

The head sculpt here is sharp, with a determined, slightly clenched jaw and brown hair swept back with individual strands sculpted along the temples. His domino mask has a smooth, glossy green finish that contrasts against the matte skin tone, and the white power ring on his fist has a clean, chunky sculpt with a tiny green gem set into the face.

I like the way the green boots have a slightly glossy finish with a clean sculpted cuff at the top, giving them a distinct separation from the matte black fabric of the legs. The white gloves have a soft, almost pearlescent quality to them, and that closed fist on the left really shows off the sculpted knuckle detail.

The Lantern emblem on the chest has a slightly raised, printed look with a white circle border framing the green lantern icon, sitting cleanly against the green fabric panel. I’m really digging how the construct blast effect wraps around the fist with an organic, crystalline shape, its translucent green plastic catching energy in a way that makes the whole figure feel alive.

One thing I noticed right away is how the green construct blast here is shaped like a jagged, pointed spike, different from the starburst effect seen earlier, giving you some nice variety in how you display the ring’s power. The fabric costume has a clean seam where the green torso panel meets the black sleeves at the shoulder, and the high collar sits snug against the jawline without riding up or pulling away from the neck.

You can see how the construct blast has a real length to it here, extending well past the figure’s arm span with that translucent green rod tapering into the starburst tip, which gives it a sense of scale that shorter effects just can’t match. The black side panels of the costume have a smooth, fitted drape along the legs that creates a sleek silhouette, and the green boots have a subtle sculptural ridge along the ankle that I hadn’t noticed before.

Sporting the construct blast at full extension, Green Lantern really sells the scale of the effect here, with the translucent green rod and starburst tip stretching dramatically across the frame. What really catches my eye is the white glove cuffs, which have a soft, rounded sculpt that blends naturally into the fist without any visible seam interrupting the transition from fabric to plastic.

Here’s the swap to the John Stewart head, and it completely transforms the figure with a distinct face sculpt featuring a tight, cropped hair texture and a serious, focused expression with furrowed brow lines. The Power Battery is a fantastic accessory, with its chunky, matte green body, clear dome housing that inner glow, and a curved handle that fits snugly in the white-gloved grip.

With the John Stewart head on, the figure takes on a completely different energy, and I like how the glowing green eyes on this sculpt have a piercing, almost otherworldly quality that pairs perfectly with the ring fist extended outward. The boots have a great two-tone design with green uppers and black soles, and the white cuffs of the gloves sit at a clean break point where the forearm meets the fist.

The John Stewart head sculpt really shines up close, with that textured, tightly cropped hair having an almost stippled quality across the scalp and a sharp, clean hairline framing the forehead. A detail that stands out to me is the green construct spike effect, which has a rougher, faceted surface texture compared to the smoother starburst, almost like a raw crystal shard projecting from the ring.

Armed with the Power Battery and construct starburst simultaneously, John Stewart looks fantastic with both accessories deployed, and the Battery’s inner glow has a warm, concentrated green that contrasts against the cooler translucent tone of the blast effect. The fabric costume shows its tailored construction nicely through the torso here, with the green panel hugging close without any bunching or excess material pulling at the Lantern emblem.

Green Lantern comes with a generous spread of accessories here, including the Power Battery, two translucent green construct effects, the John Stewart swap head, and a pair of white energy-effect hands that look like they’re crackling with willpower. I think it’s cool that the energy hands have an irregular, almost flame-like sculpt along the fingers, offering something totally different from the standard fisted and ring-bearing options already on the figure.

Superman 8″ Clothed Action Figure

Superman’s fabric suit has a satisfying woven texture throughout the blue sections, with the red trunks sitting at a clean break point against the torso and legs, and that iconic S-shield pops with a bold red and yellow that really demands your attention. The red cape has a nice weight and drape to it, flowing naturally over the shoulders, and the yellow belt buckle adds a small but welcome hit of color between the trunks and the blue fabric.

The head sculpt captures a classic, comics-inspired Superman with jet-black hair featuring that signature spit curl dropping right over the forehead, and his jaw has a strong, angular shape with a stern, no-nonsense expression. His red boots have a glossy, molded plastic finish with a squared-off cuff at the top, and the fisted hands show individually sculpted fingers with a warm, natural skin tone that contrasts against the blue fabric sleeves.

I like how the cape’s interior has a slightly darker, matte red lining that contrasts with the brighter, smoother exterior, and you get a real sense of the fabric’s heft as it sweeps down past the boots. The S-shield has a subtle dimensional quality to it, with the yellow border sitting just slightly raised against the blue weave of the chest, and the red trunks have a satin-like sheen that differentiates them from the matte finish of the boots.

Here’s a closer look at the heat vision effect, which is a translucent red blast piece that plugs right over the eyes and extends outward with a flickering, flame-like taper. It’s a great inclusion that gives you a totally different display option beyond the standard head, and the warm red glow it casts across the face sculpt and the blue fabric of the chest really sells the moment.

I’m really liking the way the heat vision effect piece catches the light here, with the translucent red plastic fading from a deep, almost opaque crimson near the eyes to a brighter, more transparent orange-red at the tips. The NECA flight stand does its job well, suspending Superman with the cape hanging freely and the flying hands swapped in, their open, outstretched fingers showing a smooth sculpt across the palms.

The heat vision blast effect terminates in a translucent orange-red impact burst that splashes outward with jagged, irregular edges, and you can trace the twin red beams all the way back to the face where they connect seamlessly over the eyes. I like how the fisted hands here have a tightly clenched sculpt with the thumb wrapped firmly over the fingers, and the blue fabric sleeves bunch just slightly at the wrist where they meet the plastic, keeping everything looking natural.

Suspended on the NECA flight stand with the flying hands swapped in, Superman looks great with the full heat vision assembly attached, the twin translucent red beams stretching out and terminating in that jagged impact burst far off to the side. The open flying hands have a relaxed, slightly cupped shape with the fingers spread apart, and the red cape catches some real movement here, billowing out behind him with a natural fabric fold near the collar.

Superman comes with a solid accessory spread here, including the heat vision head with its translucent red beam and impact burst, an open palm swap hand, and the full-length laser blast effect piece laid out alongside the figure. I like that they included both a standard fisted pair already on the figure and the flying open hand as a swap option, giving you everything you need for classic ground poses or airborne displays on the flight stand.
