The Return of the Living Dead – Trash and Suicide 8” Clothed Figure 2-Pack

If you’re a fan of ’80s horror and classic zombie flicks, NECA’s latest release will likely have you doing the Thriller dance in your living room. The Return of the Living Dead – Trash and Suicide 8” Clothed Figure 2-Pack is a loving tribute to the cult classic film. This duo, straight out of the post-apocalyptic punk rock nightmare of the movie, brings Trash (played by Linnea Quigley) and Suicide (portrayed by Mark Venturini) to life in stunning detail.

Trash and Suicide Get the NECA Treatment

These figures are part of NECA’s expanding line of highly-detailed, clothed action figures, and they are just as impressive as their other releases. The Trash figure comes dressed in her iconic shredded top and spiked red hair, while Suicide sports his leather vest, chain accessories, and a mean mug that screams “Respect the dead, or else!” The attention to detail is remarkable, right down to the paint applications that capture the gritty, grungy aesthetic of the film.

What Stands Out in This Figure Set

From what I’ve seen in the photos, the facial sculpts are where these figures really shine. Trash’s wide-eyed, manic expression and Suicide’s intimidating glare are recreated with eerie precision. The clothing is screen-accurate, with Trash’s torn outfit and Suicide’s punk attire looking as if they’ve been plucked right out of the 1985 classic. NECA has also done a great job on the articulation, allowing for various poses that capture the chaotic energy of these characters.

As someone who’s a sucker for well-made horror figures, I can’t help but compare these to NECA’s Universal Monsters x TMNT Black & White Figures. Both sets highlight NECA’s skill in merging nostalgia with craftsmanship, but this Return of the Living Dead pack has an extra layer of punk rock charm that’s hard to resist.

NECA’s Poster Zombies 2-Pack: A Homage to Carl Ramsey’s Iconic Poster Art

In addition to the Trash and Suicide 2-Pack, NECA also unveiled a Poster Zombies 2-Pack that brings Carl Ramsey’s iconic poster art to life. The poster, which was a key part of the film’s original marketing, featured two ghoulish figures that have now been immortalized as action figures. NECA has truly done justice to the original art by capturing the decayed, grotesque look of these zombies, complete with vibrant colors that pop against the dark, moody backdrop.

The Poster That Set the Tone for The Return of the Living Dead

Ramsey’s work on the Return of the Living Dead poster was instrumental in establishing the film’s punk-infused, rebellious tone. The bright, spray-painted font and the grimy, undead figures encapsulated the chaotic energy of the film, drawing audiences in and setting the stage for the zombie mayhem to come. This 2-Pack serves as a brilliant homage to that art, making it a must-have for any serious collector of horror memorabilia.

For those of you who appreciate when NECA digs into cinematic history, this is a great companion to their Toony Terrors Beetlejuice and Delores 2-Pack. Both releases show how NECA excels at paying tribute to the classics while giving fans something fresh and exciting.
