NECA - General Thread

Oh, I've been wanting them to do other characters forever!! I'd love to at least have Alice, Ginny, and a couple different iterations of Tommy Jarvis! Crazy Ralph would be fantastic to get in figure form as well!

Oh man, Part VI Tommy's a major part of the game. Maaaaaybe that's workable? I don't even think he's be tough to make, I'm sure they'd get most of the parts from like a Last of Us Joel or something, and I bet Thom Mathews would be thrilled. I met him at a con around when the game came out and he was so excited to talk about it.

There's a dude I run into at cons and screenings in the Northeast who cosplays Crazy Ralph when there's Friday the 13th stuff happening. Man, a Ralph figure would be great.

I know no one has had much luck making civilian heroes from horror films unless it's like Ash, or occasionally Dr. Loomis and Laurie Strode, but the number of characters from Friday the 13th I'd buy is excessive. Ginny, Tommy, Ralph, Alice, Tina from New Blood, Fox and Ali and Vera from III, Jimmy from Final Chapter (Crispin Glover!), Demon and Violet from New Beginning, J.J. and Julius and Eva from Jason Takes Manhattan...I'd never stop buying doomed Crystal Lake inhabitants. The paintball dorks from Jason Lives! Hell, I'd buy the characters from the NES game.
 
Anyone know if the Trick or Treat Leprechaun figure will fit in with NECA's horror stuff? The listings say 8-inch scale, and I'm assuming they are using the term correctly and therefore he should be fudgeable with 1:10/7-inch scale, but I haven't seen the actual height listed.
 
Dang, I was just thinking: we're probably not getting the little Jason demon with the Part 9 figure since it's from the game, are we?

On the other hand, we do get the unmasked head from the game, which isn't in the film as far as I know.

Got it, that is much more complicated than I realized. Their solution was not totally dissimilar, I guess, to how you can get the Ghostface rights separate from Scream.

I guess this also kills my chances of getting movie characters from the Paramount era, except maybe the ones who showed up in the game? I'd buy a Fox figure.

Yeah, a similar situation.

Scream used the Ghostface costume, so NECA can do all the costume/mask variants that company has made over the years, they just can't label it 'Scream' or include a cell phone with the figures.

That's because the costume existed before the movies and they licensed it, right? Even the boutique horror merch companies just license Ghostface for shirts. Honestly, it always looks pretty lame to me to have that logo instead of the Scream one.
 
I kind of like those Fortnite horror figures as an add on to the Jada Scooby Doo line.

I have the few Toony horror figures for the smaller figures that got released for the 'Scoob' movie, but ones that would better fit Jada's size and style might be worth a look.
