Oh, happy day. I ordered NECA's new Twilight "Edward" action figure a few days ago (on Amazon) and it arrived inside my screen door this afternoon.
Well, actually, this Edward really isn't an "action" figure, per se, because he only has five points of articulation - at the neck, shoulders and elbows. Not much action ability happening there, so ... what can he do?
So, I've kept my Edward "statuette" (yes, that's the right word) sealed inside the package, from which he can glare at me for the rest of my life (and then someone else's life, since he's immortal).
In addition to the statuette, NECA included a replica of the Cullen family crest, which Edward wears on a wristcuff in Twilight. (Borders has been selling that wristcuff, in case you're interested.)
There's only one problem with this beautifully painted statuette: On the card back, Edward's original surname, "Masen," is misspelled as "Mason."
Everybody panic ... then, later, somebody get on the phone to NECA and have them fire the editing staff (and hire me instead, 'cuz I'm the best editor there is).

- Turn his head sharply to the side, as if he's just detected Jessica thinking more naughty thoughts about him.
- Raise his arms straight up in the air, as if Charlie's just arrested him for ... speeding (not).
- Bend his arms up at the elbows so he can hug NECA's "Bella" figurine (awww).
