Check out these hyper-realistic Hateful Eight action figures

When you think of action figures, you might think of kid-friendly media franchises like Spider-Man, Ninja Turtles, or even Star Wars. According to ScreenCrush, however, kids aren’t the only ones getting in on the fun.

A company called NECA will soon release a line of absurdly detailed action figures from Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight, perhaps the least kid-friendly film in the history of ever. In actuality, “figurines” is a better term for these pieces, as the set offers eight, eight-inch tall miniatures of the film’s eponymous octet for $30 each. For the numerically challenged, that’s $240 for the whole set — a tad steep for your 5-year-old.

Here’s the full list of available figures, each of which comes with intricately tailored fabric clothing and character-specific accessories from the movie (pistols, rifles, shackles, gun belts, holsters, etc.):

  • Major Marquis Warren (The Bounty Hunter) — Samuel L. Jackson
  • General Sandy Smithers (The Confederate) — Bruce Dern
  • Joe Gage (The Cow Puncher) — Michael Madsen
  • Sheriff Chris Mannix (The Sheriff) — Walton Goggins
  • John Ruth (The Hangman) — Kurt Russell
  • Oswaldo Mobray (The Little Man) — Tim Roth
  • Bob (The Mexican) — Demián Bichir
  • Daisy Domergue (The Prisoner) — Jennifer Jason Leigh

Like most (if not all) of the director’s films, The Hateful Eight is rated R, with plenty of blood and guts to spare. That said, these are clearly more collector’s items than action figures and could certainly be a fun home theater adornment for die-hard cinephiles and Tarantino-philes alike.

NECA’s website says the figurines will be available in January 2016, which would mean they should go on sale within the next few days, so keep an eye out if you’re looking to get your hands on Major Marquis Warren, Oswaldo Mobray, or any other member of this unscrupulous crew.

Superman review: DC is back and better than ever!
Superman review: The Man of Steel soars to new heights
Superman readies to fight in Superman.

The new DC Universe made its theatrical debut with the release of James Gunn's Superman. Set three years after he revealed himself to the world as Superman, the film follows Clark Kent (David Corenswet) when he struggles to face threats at home and abroad and come to terms with his Kryptonian heritage, all while Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) tries to turn the public against him with a global conspiracy.

Starting right in the middle of the action, Superman kicks off the DCU with a thrilling blockbuster adventure filled with action, humor, heart, and life. It is easy to forgive the excessive expositional dialogue when the film delivers an exciting and thought-provoking tale that stays true to the comics while putting a new spin on the Man of Steel.

If you have to watch one Disney+ movie this July 2025, stream this one
The cast of Saving Mr. Banks

Unlike most streaming services, the movies available on Disney+ tend to conform to a fairly standard mold. You've got a lot of big franchise films and a lot of movies aimed at children, and not a whole lot in between.

If you're looking for something a little more robust, or at least aimed at adults, you might want to check out Saving Mr. Banks. The movie tells the story of Walt Disney's quest to adapt Mary Poppins and his various attempts to woo the author of the book series it's based on, P.L. Travers. While the film is undeniably a little hagiographic, here are three reasons you should check it out.

James Gunn’s Superman is better than 1978’s Superman: The Movie. Here’s why
Superman looks up and flies in a poster for "Superman."

Director Richard Donner's Superman: The Movie, which premiered in 1978, is a classic piece of cinema that continues to shape the superhero genre today. Most recently, it led the way for writer-director James Gunn to release Superman, a more modern imagining of the Man of Steel's adventures, with David Corenswet portraying the titular hero.

The influence of Donner’s film is clearly seen in Gunn’s new project, from the John Williams-inspired musical score to the lighthearted tone to the crystalline design of the Fortress of Solitude. This new movie had some big red shoes to fill after the example set by Superman: The Movie, especially with Christopher Reeve's iconic performance as the red-caped hero. Despite the odds, Gunn's Superman not only reached the high bar set by Donner's film, but it actually improved upon the latter on several fronts, making it a far superior movie.
