The Metaluna Mutant is the monstrous creature that was featured in the classic 1955 sci-fi film This Island Earth. Created by Universal Studios, these "mutants" are an iconic example of 1950s alien horror that helped change the sci-fi landscape in cinema. In the film, scientists from Earth are recruited by the Metalunans, an advanced race whose home planet is under attack by the deadly Zagons. As their civilization falls, the Metalunans go on to use mutant drones, creepy humanoid creatures that feature bug-like eyes, exposed brains, and claws.

These terrifying aliens have now returned with brand new This Island Earth Ultimate Metaluna Mutant figures from NECA. Return to the 50s in style with this impressive figure that features their design right from the film and stands 7" tall. The figure will just come with a secondary head sculpt, but the detail of this creature will make it an impressive addition to any 50s or sci-fi collection. The horror of the NECA This Island Earth Ultimate Metaluna Mutant is priced at $36.99, and pre-orders are live for a September 2025 release.
