NECA's top 10 neighbors span actors, reality TV stars, musicians, MMA media, a footwear brand, and a game developer — with no single subcategory dominating the set.
The shape is flat: scores run from Vans at 0.85 down to Playboy at 0.82, a range of just 0.03 across ten neighbors. The subcategory breakdown makes the mix concrete: four are Actors (Sylvester Stallone at 0.85, Jessica Alba at 0.83, Chloë Grace Moretz at 0.82, and Jeremy Renner at 0.81 — though Renner falls just outside the strict top 10 by score), two are Reality TV Stars (Vinny Guadagnino at 0.84, Nicole Polizzi at 0.81), one is a Musician (Linkin Park at 0.84), one is a Website (MMA Junkie at 0.84), one is a Game Developer (Telltale Games at 0.83), and one is Footwear (Vans at 0.85). NECA's own subcategory — Toys and Games — does not appear among the top 10 neighbors at all; Hasbro, the nearest fellow Toys and Games brand, sits just outside at 0.81. The cross-kind character of this cluster is the defining feature: the audience shape NECA shares most closely belongs to mainstream entertainment figures and lifestyle brands, not other collectibles or toy companies.
The flat, cross-kind pattern suggests NECA's audience is shaped by broad pop-culture consumption rather than a tight collector-specific identity.
