If you watched 2022 horror movie M3GAN, a film about an artifically intelligent doll who becomes murderously hostile and possessive, and for some reason thought "Hey, I want one of those!," I suppose I have some good news for you.
Collectible company NECA unveiled its own replica of the Model 3 Generative Android, or M3GAN, on its website this week, which is new available for pre-order if you've got a cool $494.99 to spare. Funny enough, the listing was seemingly unveiled on April Fools Day, so it'd be easy to mistake it for a joke, but it's still on NECA's website and available to pre-order.
Standing at approximately 55 inches tall, NECA boasts that the "1:1 replica is based on M3GAN’s on-screen appearance, duplicated from actual film-used digital files to be the most screen-accurate representation available." You can see an image of the doll below.
NECA adds that the fabric for the doll's dress matches an exact swatch from the dress in the movie, in addition to an articulated inner-armature, movable eyes, and synthetic hair. It is, however, a doll and not a high-tech machine like the one in the movie, so we can guess she'll neither sing Sia to you nor carry out any murders.
M3GAN was a sizeable horror hit back when it was released in 2022, thanks in large part to just how thoroughly meme-worthy M3GAN herself is. It made enough money for Universal to greenlight a sequel, with M3GAN 2.0 slated to release on January 17, 2025. And NECA's website says orders on its replica are expected to ship sometime in 2024, which means you should be able to take yours with you to watch the sequel when it debuts. Yay?
IGN gave M3GAN a 7/10, with Matt Donato writing, "a genre star is born from motherboards and violence in a movie that begs to be a tad leaner yet delivers clip-worthy 'horrortainment' nonetheless."
