NECA Unveils New SDCC 2023 Wood Beast Challenge Flash Gordon

Coming to life from the iconic and classic 1980 live-action Flash Gordon film, NECA is bringing the Wood Beast Challenge to life 

NECA is getting ready for San Diego Comic Con 2024 by showcasing its latest convention exclusives. The Feral Predator from Prey kicked things off first, and now the savior of the universe has returned with Flash Gordon! NECA is bringing the Wood Beast Challenge to life with the latest deluxe release, capturing the memorable and intense scene from the 1980 sci-fi film. The likeness of Sam Jones is featured here as Flash Gordon tests his worth in a deadly trial to prove his bravery and worthiness.
