NECA - General Thread

The NECA figures absolutely do not scale with DST Muppets, they are significantly larger. They are made to scale with Palisades' Muppets. If you want Sesame Street figures that scale with the DST line, your best option is the Super 7 ReAction figures.

Oh dang, thanks for the info.
 
I found Halloween 6 Mikey today which was nice but I was really hoping to find Pee Wee and the Count.
 
The big Target over by me that tends to get more NECA stuff in (and sooner than other stores) finally put out their Haulathon stuff. No shipper, just right onto the pegs. I'd snagged all the ones I'd wanted a couple weeks back, but it was nice to see them trickling back out.

I did stop by another Target on my way home and grab the apron Leatherface, since I had a coupon. Almost got all the iconic monsters/slashers represented on my shelf now. Just missing Pinhead, Chucky (trying to find the BoC 2 pack for a good price), and, to a lesser iconic degree, the Miner from My Bloody Valentine. Really wish they'd make an Ultimate Candyman, but with Tony Todd's death, who knows how doable that is now. Would be fun to see the Fisherman from I Know What You Did Last Summer too; hoping they may finally make him with the new one coming out later this year.
 
It seems a lot my Targets get almost regular restocks of Pinhead particularly near Halloween since the last one came out. Hopefully you can grab one. And huge yes on a Todd Candyman. It would be great to get an upgrade from my McFarlane figure.

Finally got around to opening her. Comparing her to the previous Pamela really shows how far Neca has come in every way. The likeness is incredible and I'm not even sure you could call the old one a likeness.

Wow. It's crazy to me how rose-colored glasses distort your view on these figures. To me, nothing could top these figures back then. But here we are.
 
Just found Pee Wee and the Count at Target! Pee Wee facial sculpt is better in person. I think his really pale features wash out more on camera.
 
I wish the Beetlejuice Dante's Inferno Room would arrive. It is due this quarter. Maybe .01% of my figures are cheesecake, but that's enough to put all around that thing and make me laugh.

I got tracking ohhhh...I'd say a month and a half ago.
 
Weeks and weeks ago, I got a surprise Hammer Dracula in the mail from the NECA Store. But they'd already sent me one like two or three months earlier. I contacted them about the duplicate shipment, after a week they got back to me and said they'd be contacting me with a return label and blahblahblah. But they never did. And it's just sitting in my living room, forlorn and abandoned.

Yeah, we all did. I contacted them about it around 5 weeks after no movement. This was their response:

We apologize for the delay, and we understand the frustration.

Rest assured your order will be shipped to you soon. I want to inform you that the label was created in advance to ensure your order is processed quickly once the item reaches the final step in shipping. Thank you for your patience, and please let me know if I can help you with anything else."

I also use the message you sent that the item is shipping from our China warehouse.

Thank you!
 
Happy Alien Day, all! NECA revealed the suspended Big Chap from Romulus as part of Alien Day. Fun concept; like that it comes with the chunk of ceiling, but it really is more a display piece than a true figure. Cool that you can actually hang it, but if you have nowhere to hang it from, like me, it's kinda useless. Looks like that's the only new reveal, but they are doing a mystery box, and re-releasing some old figures.

I did manage to snag the bomber jacket Ripley. Can't believe I haven't had a Ripley in my display before. Been holding out for the Ripley/Newt 2 pack, but that's not likely to happen for me any time soon, and this is the next best version for me. I had BDUs Vasquez in my cart as well, but she sold out before I could complete. It's all good- the regular one with the big gun is definitely my preferred version, (and due to price, another one that I'll likely never have. 😭)
