NECA's long-running horror licensing lineup is expanding into video games with its first wave of Dead by Daylight figures. Confirmed via NECA's official product listing, first shown at New York Toy Fair 2026 and reported by Toyark and Dread Central, The Trapper is now up for pre-order at $39.99 ahead of a Q4 2026 release.
This is a confirmed pre-order with a locked price and accessory list, so here's what's included.
NECA's official product listing, as reported by Toyark, confirms the following:
The Trapper is one of Dead by Daylight's original launch Killers, a hulking figure known for stalking Survivors and setting Bear Traps across the map. NECA's sculpt leans into his hideous torn mask and mine-worker origins, giving the figure a distinct silhouette from the studio's slasher-movie catalog.
NECA has built its reputation on movie-licensed horror figures, so a video-game-native license like Dead by Daylight signals a genuine expansion of the collector base it's targeting. Bundling both a signature weapon and a trap accessory gives The Trapper more display versatility than a single-pose horror figure typically gets.
With a Q4 2026 window still a few months out, there's time to plan both budget and display space, especially since NECA is also releasing The Huntress from the same game at the same time.
NECA's 7-inch scale figures fit standard window box packaging, and EVORETRO's NECA display case protectors are built for that exact format.
For posing The Trapper loose with his Bear Trap and Cleaver, EVORETRO's 4-step acrylic display stand works well alongside other 7-inch horror figures.
$39.99.
Q4 2026.
Interchangeable hands, a Bear Trap, and The Cleaver.
Through NECA's official online store, with additional retailers expected.
The Trapper marks NECA's expansion into Dead by Daylight, giving one of the game's original Killers a proper 7-inch figure with real accessory depth. With a Q4 2026 window and pre-orders already open, there's time to plan ahead.
Having a protector and stand ready means The Trapper will be shelf-ready and undamaged the moment it ships.
