NECA - General Thread

Trevor was wearing a Munsters shirt with Lily very clearly visible during YHS’ walkthrough, in the before times if Randy had done that I’d have taken as a strong clue the rest were coming, but now that even seeing a prototype doesn’t mean we’re getting the figure I just assume that means Trevor put a random shirt in of his suit case that happened by chance to have one of their licenses on it.
 
It's the Figure Paradox- they say if you want to see more, to buy the thing. But by buying the thing, if not enough people also buy the thing (or any number of other reasons), they won't keep making them, and then you'll be left with an incomplete collection.

It's weird. I feel like I'd be fine having just Herman in the collection, as he's a pretty good singular summation of the series. But if I commit and buy Grandpa as well, I'm gonna want everyone.

And it's even more likely that not buying initial releases will end in cancelation these days. Between tariffs and rising costs, as well as a couple lines that went bust, it seems clear to me that NECA is a bit less willing to take risks than they used to be.
