NECA's new Ultimate releases of Matt Hooper and Quint from Jaws were spoiled a couple of weeks back through BestBuy website listings. Now as New York Toy Fair 2025 gets underway we have a full and formal reveal of both 7-inch Ultimate figures ahead of their Summer 2025 release.
Hooper is as seen on his arrival on Amity Island and features the likeness of Richard Dreyfus across four different head sculpts. These include with his hat, and without. There are also extra hands - gloved and ungloved - and a swap out set of arms to allow him to be displayed without his jacket. Hooper also comes with Scuba tank, duffel bag, fishing spear, and a pair of polystryrene cups - one crushed.
Sam Quint, played by Robert Shaw, will come in his Orca fishing gear complete with three different head options - one with his baseball cap, one with bandana, and one without. The arms on the figure can be swapped allowing for a jacket-on or jacket-off display, and hands are provided for gloved and ungloved options. Quint comes with harpoon gun, rifle, machette, baseball bat, beer can and crushed can.
Both Quint and Hooper will come in retro inspired closed box packaging with artwork paying homage to the original 1975 Jaws promotional material. They come with an opening front cover to reveal the figure. Shipping is expected in Q3 2025 (between June and September). We've updated our extensive NECA Collector Database with these new images and details

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
