With the N. Sane Trilogy being released, NECA gained the rights to making action figures.
Summary
They released Wave 1 in 2017 consisting of the titular bandicoot in a standard blister pack with no accessories, soon after they released him again but this time with an accessory: a Jet Board from the second game. After that release, they released another Crash Bandicoot figure with accessories and this time, coming equipped with an Aku Aku mask.
Toy Fare 2019
At Toy Fare 2019, they showed up off two most wanted figures: Coco Bandicoot and Doctor Neo Cortex. This teased spurred the Crash and collecting community into a huge frenzy - after so many years, they were finally going to have Cortex and Coco in their collections. The expected release date was sometime that year.

Cancellation
Further into the year and much to the disappointment of fans, they were no where to be seen and fans eagerly messaged NECA about when the figures were going to be released. Unfortunately, they responded with bad news, "we prototyped more but the line didn't sell well"[1] They cancelled the line much to the anger of fans. Finally, NECA stated that they "prototyped more", who they actually managed to prototype will remain unknown.[1]
Final Verdict
Due to this line being cancelled by NECA, and the prototypes not being put up for auction, these two action figures will remain: "Lost".
