NECA - General Thread

Just grabbed Pee Wee off the weekly Haulathon drop online at Target. He is still up if anyone needs him.
 
My Target has been pretty consistent with stocking Haulathon stuff on Fridays. Today, a bunch more NECA Mirage TMNT - comic colors elite assassin, b&w Casey, Old Man Raph, toon Tattoo/Wyrm 2pk, Pamela Voorhees. Also a restock of toon Ultimate Shredder and groom Beetlejuice. Haven't seen a restock of Pee Wee yet, nor the Sesame Street gang.
 
So I pulled into my drive and saw the huge box and instantly figured it had to be Dante's Inferno Room, and I was right. While it does look ok, I can't suggest it. Two cardboard panels don't fit properly. Top one, 2nd in from the left keeps popping out the bottom corner. The door piece doesn't fit, period. It's maybe 1/16" too wide. Force it and the cardboard will bend/crease. I'll get to trimming it later, but damn, for the price, this should be perfect. It requires 3 AAA batteries, or a USB C cable (not included). The top section would have been so much better if it was maybe just an inch deeper. The girls are snug up there.

I don't hate it at all, and it does crack me up with the cheesecake women around it, but it is overpriced, and the cardboard pieces should have been plastic like the rest of it is.

Wait, is he allowed to post photos of devil action figures with their fiery bazongas out?

Who decides that? Me?

Starting this place was a mistake.
I actually meant to put smiley faces over her nips and forgot. I can cover them up. lol

edit - I updated it.

As a fine, upstanding gay man, I must ask you not to force your fiery, bedeviled Bazongas upon us. I can't go anywhere without having flaming, Devil-ridden Breasticles shoved in my face, and it simply must stop. My innocent son (cat) could have walked in the room and seen those hellish Honkers! Not everyone enjoys seeing those sinful Oingo Boingos, but you wouldn't know that because of woke. Thanks Obama! (Did I do it right? Was that sufficient pearl clutching? 😁)

Just kidding, of course. As a gay, I'll continue to stare at women's barely-clad bodies not as a means of sexualization, but as a sign of empowerment and solidarity. :ROFLMAO:

Anywho, more on topic. It's a shame that the quality isn't better on the Inferno Room. It is a heck of a piece visually. Never gonna have room for it, but it's pretty to look at.

My LCS was having a sale on everything yesterday for Free Comic Book Day, and they had the new NECA Jaws figures. Priced $30 normally, so would've been even more of a steal with the discount (20% off), but I didn't pick them up. If we never end up getting Brody, which is looking like a real possibility, I'd hate to have an incomplete trio.
 
Does anyone have a guess how things will work out with Ad Populum soon owning NECA and Diamond Select Toys? Do people think they'll keep the companies separate or combine them? I assume they'll be some level of layoffs for DST and maybe NECA. Any guesses on how extensive? I'm fairly new to collecting and totally ignorant about the business side, but I think there are some pretty knowledgeable folks on this board. I'm really curious what folks smarter than me think will happen.

Honestly?

Likely will stay separate entities, sister companies. Much like how KidRobot is separate than NECA. There will be some shared licenses, but overall, I fully expect them to stay separate. If anything, DST's quality might improve.
