NECA - General Thread

[joshsquash729]

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.

Oh, yeah, Ultimates are definitely my preferred line. WWDITS Ultimates are right up there with Hocus Pocus Ultimates for me as ones I'd kill for, but would probably never happen. I think there's a reason they made the 3 animated Sanderson Sisters that only barely resemble the actresses for all the merch in the last decade or so- I'm sure the likeness rights are bonkers. For a cast like WWDITS, I'd imagine it's probably similar to the Alien figures- not impossible or too expensive, but a bit of a hassle, since I doubt likeness stuff was baked into their contracts.

curious if the Vows figure is sturdier.

Not my experience.

I could see myself going all in if they went to town on that show though. Topher, one of the werewolves, Donal Logue, etc.

I effed up and waited too long and now Hooper's out of stock. Dangit. Had them sitting in my cart for a few days not sure I was ready to spend 70 bucks so soon after going a little overboard on NECA turtles.

At target? Very possible he'll be back. Both of them have been off and on.

He was pretty plentiful at my LCS as of Wednesday. Not sure if he's still priced at $30 like he was before, but I can run up tomorrow and check for ya if you're still on the lookout for him.

NECA is teasing Wednesday figures for this coming Wednesday.

Hoping it's just the pictures, or the lighting, but the likeness isn't spot on to Jenna Ortega.

Regardless, I love the show, one of the wife and mine's favorites. I begged Blaine for these at PowerCon and few years back, so...yeah, needless to say, I'm all over these.

I've added him to my back-in-stock alerts - if he's off and on I'll grab him super quick if he pops back up. I'm not 100% sure him selling out isn't fate just telling me I can skip the Jaws figures or not though.

Gotta run over to my local Target tonight to replace a dead toaster oven anyway, and the local Targets NEVER have accurate NECA in-stock numbers online, so maybe I'll end up spending too much money when I swing by there. Kinda hoping they have a random stray Predator I can pick up, too, since I'm waffling on which one to buy off eBay today.

Are these... The other line that isn't Ultimates? The Elvira one?

You are being very generous with this description.

Retro? Yes.

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.

Try to order it again. Thanks to your post, I ordered the open box excellent option a few hours ago and I just got a tracking number.

I saw Hooper at Walmart yesterday.

Well, let me know! I was at my Target this morning and they had both Jaws figures and the Predator from at least the first movie- maybe Predator 2. I'm happy to help if need be!

I appreciate it! I'm gonna give it a shot locally for a bit (It would be ironic if Massachusetts doesn't get Jaws figures, wouldn't it?) but may take you up on the offer if I can't find him. Kinda funny that Hooper is in and out of stock but Quint isn't. How can people not want Robert Shaw on their shelf?
