Hey fellow toy enthusiasts! Marc here, and boy, do I have some exciting toy news for you. NECA has decided to re-release their Beetlejuice 7-inch figures, and it’s showtime for all of us Beetlejuice fans. As a huge fan of the original film, starring the inimitable Michael Keaton, I couldn’t be more thrilled about this. With the new Beetlejuice film on the horizon (you can read more about it here), it’s the perfect time for NECA to bring back these iconic figures.
Beetlejuice (1988) – 7″ Scale Action Figure – Black and White Striped Suit Beetlejuice
First up, we have Beetlejuice in his classic black and white striped suit. This figure captures the chaotic energy of our favorite bio-exorcist perfectly. From the wild hair to the mischievous grin, NECA has nailed the look. The details on this figure are fantastic, with the folds of his suit and the texture of his skin looking incredibly realistic.
Beetlejuice (1988) – 7″ Scale Action Figure – Red Tuxedo Beetlejuice
Next, we have Beetlejuice in his snazzy red wedding suit. This figure showcases the moment from the film when Beetlejuice attempts to marry Lydia Deetz. The vibrant red suit stands out and contrasts wonderfully with his ghostly pallor. The sculpting on this figure is immaculate, capturing the playful yet sinister vibe of the character during this memorable scene. The accessories, including the miniature microphone and a few creepy-crawly friends, add a delightful touch.

Personal Thoughts and Anticipation
These figures bring the wacky world of Beetlejuice right to your shelf. The articulation and accessories included with each figure make them perfect for dynamic displays. Plus, they offer a nostalgia trip back to the 1988 classic, which, let’s be honest, is one of the best Michael Keaton films ever.
As someone who loves restoring and collecting toys, seeing these figures re-released is like a dream come true. I’m especially excited to pose them in various scenes from the movie. The quality and attention to detail NECA puts into their figures are top-notch, making them worth every penny.
Speaking of NECA, if you’re a fan of their work, don’t miss my take on the NECA TMNT Mirage First Appearance Set. It’s another example of their excellent craftsmanship.
Looking Forward to the New Film
With the new Beetlejuice film coming soon, the timing for this re-release couldn’t be better. I can’t wait to see how the new film ties into the original and brings back that unique blend of humour and horror. The anticipation is building, and these figures are the perfect way to celebrate.
