NECA - General Thread

Whenever NECA finishes up Universal and Hammer, I really hope they do some other monsters. I mean, we've gotten Orlok, but I'd like to see both classic and Cronenberg versions of The Fly. I'd also give up some essential body parts for Monster Squad figures.

Nailed by two biggest wants right there. Maybe a Tremors graboid as well, though I might settle for a Jaws-style Toony Terror of that.

They have the Fly license.

After they showed off the Sandworm from Beetlejuice, I wouldn't necessarily rule out any larger scale diorama-type releases. Suppose you could consider the Jaws "game" one too- they're obviously not opposed to releasing bigger display pieces. Question is- will we have space for it all?

There is always space to be made!

As someone who recently started utilizing more wall space directly (ie, no shelves, just placing the figures on the wall), I agree. Gimme a sandworm or Graboid I can mount to the wall to look like it's busting out! It's a shame McFarlane has the Dune license; a NECA Shai-Hulud busting out of the wall would be hella sexy.

I want a Neca Graboid so much! I was obsessed with the movie Tremors as a kid and growing up on a farm my grandfather had a huge pasture and out around his farm equipment were several big pieces of broken up concrete. We would pretend like there were Graboids underground and if we got off the concrete pieces for long they would get us. So we'd try to jump from one to the next without touching the ground and meeting certain doom. I'd love to have a mini one on my shelf (and a Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward!)

My obligatory post about this subject incase I only did it on the Fwoosh and not here. The horror property I'd want NECA to go 7" on is What We Do in the Shadows.
 
I mean, they DID do Shadows Toony Terrors, so it's at least possible? Not a license I'd buy into, but it seems more likely than the other two at this point. I know years ago Randy said they'd tried on Monster Squad but the rights holders weren't interested. Hopefully that'll change someday, but we're gonna be hitting lean times for niche licenses from now on, it kinda feels like. Maybe that company doing all the Robocop villains will throw themselves on that pyre for us! :)
 
Oh yeah, the WWDITS Toony Terrors can't come soon enough, as far as I'm concerned. I got the Funko Pops, but the TTs having Doll Nadja and Baby Colin are huge plusses to me. Hope they do well enough for at least a couple more, but even if they don't, at least we'll have the core cast. I'd sell what's left of my soul for Ultimates, but I worry it would end before making at least the core 5.
 
Yeah. I’ll prob buy those too but my heart is in the 7” line. Nandor, Lazlo, Nadia, Collin, Gizmo, The Barron, the Guide and the Sire and I could call it a day. Maybe a Nandor variant in his dream team jersey.

I’d be interested in EC Comics 7” figures. A Jack Davis Crypt Keeper and Jonny Craig Vault Keeper at least. Wouldn’t say no to Old Witch. They did a Toony Terrors EC inspired looking character.
 
I saw Best Buy had a Gargoyles Vows two-pack on their website as an open box for 40 bucks. I figured why not, since their open box is covered by their return policy so there was nothing to lose, but they cancelled my order an hour later. I guess they don't really have it? Anyway, that's a set I wouldn't mind having, but not at the $70 MSRP since I already have Goliath and Demona. The new expressions look good though and my Demona had a factory error where they didn't paint the toenails on one foot. Plus her right shin has warped under her own weight on my shelf and I'm curious if the Vows figure is sturdier.
