New Neca store preorders went up for some TMNT items. Mirage Leatherhead and specter TMNT 3-pack from The Last Ronin. Preorders are up until December 30th. Not exclusive, just first to ship.I think you can still get the Krampus pack too, those seem to be shipping out to people already.

It got brought up last thread, but there's apparently a new program they're going to start on the store in January. Curious what kind of stuff they'll be offering up. Them tossing variants and stuff up here seems smart, if it's what I think it is. Guess we'll see.
Chance that NECA'll re-release a lot of those really awesome props and large pieces from the old Nightmare Before Christmas line?
Did neca ever make mona lisa, lotus, crooked ninja turtle 2pks available through their store?
>>11260728Yeah no fucking thanks, stinks of this shit. And now the bots will be able to get in even earlier to swipe all the pre-orders so that's a great fucking addition.
>>11260810I know I bought both Crooked Ninja Turtle packs from the NECA store>>11260728In good standing clearly a reference to the Donnie's Lab situation
What do you think of the 2006 12-inch Davy Jones figure? I don't know what to expect from an 18-year-old figure. This character doesn't seem to have much in the way of great figures if you don't want to fork over a car for the Hot Toys or don't trust Beast Kingdom (as awesome as it looks). The regular Series 1 Jones from Neca looks awful.
>>11260815Even if bots do, they cancel those orders anyway. And that alien club thing was pretty great. I still have those Kenner backdrops they did. They're beautiful.
>>11260820>The regular Series 1 Jones from Neca looks awful.Really? It's not that articulated, but it's a pretty great looking figure. It was the first Pirates figure I ever bought from them
>>11260824The face sculpt I'm looking at is discouraging but it could just be the lighting or something.
>>11260818Yea that sounds about right, i hope they re-release all those 2pks again. I cant find the other 2 in the wild and didnt have the money to get the crook turtles when neca sold it.
>>11260824>>11260827They have a great Jones and an awful one that looks like a melted, yellow mess.
>>11260835You're right, the good one is going for even more than the Beast Kingdom figure I'm considering.
>>11260834I'm hoping we get another shot at the Rock Soldiers. I have four, but we need the gray ones, and I wouldn't mind a couple others of the brown.
There’s a new mystery box, not sure what yummyworld is though
Looks like they’re really trying to get rid of the mugs, they’re adding more deals to it. Sucks for anyone who bought it originally for $126.99.
>>11260859>yummyworldhttps://www.kidrobot.com/collections/yummy-world
>>11260859I know some plush fans that would like this.
>>11260971Had. This is back when the films were releasing.
>>11260541I'm still not returning it.
>>11261123You're a thief, we get it.
>>11260821Since when does anyone cancel bot orders?
>>11261123Don’t be surprised when you can’t buy any more exclusives from the NECAstore and your account is in bad standing.
>>11261244Since always? They've done that for many, many years now for the SDCC orders.
>>11261245Randolf’s fourth reich to cover up his dumbass warehouse’s mistake is a bad pr move, watch and see
>>11261367Except everyone has already stopped talking about it? Not to mention, it’s been proven the law is on NECA’s side.
>>11261468>refusing that customers future buisness which would be kinda dumb.It's pretty funny that they are threatening to ban the customers that pump the most money into the company over their own fuck up. This is one of those situations where it would be cheaper in the long run to just take the L and spend some money to retrain the warehouse staff, because it's not like this is the only time this has happened.
>>11261376This. It was the biggest nothing ever once all the mouthy shits started to realize they were in the wrong the whole time. Hilarious to see them come to that realization too.
>>11261376>Except everyone has already stopped talking about itNo they haven't. You are smoking crack if you think this is over.https://youtu.be/NWFImITocx0
>>11261492Still not returning it
>>11261510Oh no, Mad Hatter is being a pussy baby? Wow that sure is different than every other time he's a pussy baby! That surely means something! Fuck right off a cliff.
>>11261367Guzzle egg nog and bleach already
>>11261510Some nobody made a clickbait video and you just let everyone know you fell for it. You should really ruminate on that.
>>11260864>Randy Quaid autoSurprise they would even want to associate with him given that he's genuinely crazy.
>>11261551I remember when you used to simp for Hatter. How the tables have turned. Is Nostalgia Unboxed on your shitlist too?>>11261572They would get Kim Jong Un to sign shit if they thought they could make money off it.
>>11261598Nobody simps for Hatter. You are severely out of touch with reality bro. Go outside or something.
>>11261604>Nobody simps for HatterThe existence of his shitty MOTU knockoff that you kept trying to shill proves you wrong.Anyway, since you don't want to watch the video because you don't know how to adblock, he mentions someone he knows that never received an extra Lab getting harassed by NECA to return something he was never sent, meanwhile someone that is actively trying to return their extra Lab is getting ignored by NECA CS. So this isn't over, and your attempts to memoryhole this incident are laughable.
>>11261614>he thinks everyone is one personOh my lord
>>11261510Pretty sure clickbait links are against the rules
Ernie lookin' real damn good. Fits right in with Palisades' stuff too.
>>11261790Why are you stealing pics?
>>11261790That does look amazing. The texturing on the clothes and on the puppet parts is spectacularly well done. Might have to get the Count now.
>>11261790Uncle Deadly when?
>>11261790They could have made the inner elbow joint slightly narrower and blue so that it continued the stripe of his sweater, but that would have required too much forethought.
>>11261796Because nobody is going to stop me.
>>11261838Uh, well Palisades already made him. And I don't think he was ever on Sesame Street was he?
12 Days of Figures kicks off tomorrow at 9am ET! Deck the halls this holiday season with action figures galore!

See you on the NECA Store tomorrow!#12DaysofFigures #ActionFigures #NECA
>>11262390Color me interested.
>>11260707This Krampus would be great.... if it wasn't just a stationary figurine essentially. Like it's way overpriced for what it is.
>>11262458How are they giving bad service?>>11262466Yes, he has no legs, but he’s a lot more articulated than you would think in other areas. Plus with the amount of sculptwork, fantastic paint apps, and a wide spread of accessories I think the price is justified.
>>11262466>Like it's way overpriced for what it is.No, it really isn't. Unique one time sculpt, accessories, chains, paint hits all add up that cost.
>>11262479>>11262481Arm & head articulation is not enough. I'd expect this price only if he was an actual cloth figure with movable legs.
>>11262483Have you even seen the movie? Having cloth robes would not only look worse, but serve no purpose. He doesn’t need legs.
>>11262483Cloth would drive up the price. You're asking for a muuuuch more intricate piece of fabric goods than just some solid color robe.
Anyone seen both Nosferatus in person? I can't decide between color or B&W. Even if B&W is more true to the film I worry it might look strange as a figure and the subtle coloring of the colored version better
>>11262700So far I've only seen the regular in person, and even that's been sparse. It kind of hit and then sold out. I think Best Buy still has it on shelf right now around here.
>>11262706Oh and it looks like the black and white version is back in stock on Target's site.
If you were thinking of getting a Mystery blind box, I recommend against it. All the best stuff seems gone or going quick, boxes are showing up with 18 year old Harry Potter figures from 2007. First boxes that shipped out were full of awesome stock, if excess, now you can't even expect that. Mostly Gargoyles, Flash Gordon, Back to the Future, ET stuff that won't sell.
>>11262877All of that is still great stuff. Especially the Harry Potter figures.
>>11262877Fuck off back to Plebbit
>>11260717>those seem to be shipping out to people already.They are, it's real good.
>>11262877There was never any point for anyone to buy these blind boxes other than ebay sellers.
>>11262904ebay sellers are the last people to want them, it's stock guaranteed to sit, with one or two pieces that'll break even.
>>11262908It's filling out people's collections. Quit acting like you know anything about collectors.
>>11262911Yes, I agree that they're good for collectors. But they're no good for ebay resellers, is the point. If If you're actually interested in toys and open to what you'll get it's a good deal.
>>11262926True, yes. But fuck eBay sellers in general.
>>11262390First batch is up. Pretty good spread of things, everything from King Kong to Zog to Vincent Price.
>>11263309https://store.necaonline.com/collections/12-days-of-figuresEhh, there’s a few newer, good things, but it’s mixed in with pegwarmers that we were seeing a lot in the mystery box. You’d basically end up getting 2 or 3 newer figures and the rest are pegwarmers to hit the 5 figure deal.
NECA Ben Cooper New Upcoming Characters AnnouncedThese do not seem to have a set release day yet. Superhero was announced earlier, but it shows the whole line which I have not recalled seeing in its entirety. The Fly, BatGirl, BatMan, The Joker, SuperMan, WonderWoman, Clown, Metaluna Mutant, Spooky Monster, Visable Man and Wolf Man.
>>11263360Oh wow, those are cool as hell. I need Spooky Monster in my life.
My Freddy’s furnace supposedly shipped but I expect to find a Hello Kitty plush inside of the box instead
>>11263360Visible Man is peak.
>>11263360Tired of these ugly things.
>>11262883fuck off to you moms cunt>>11263334So its 12 days of pegwarmersSo what if I want 1 fig from day 1 and another 4 from day 2, will they be availble throughout the whole event? Or do they disappear each day? I dont wanna get stuck with doubles of merchandise I didnt order.
Target's site has the Romulus Xeno, Jack and David 2-pack, and Vincent Price in stock for shipping if anyone is after those. And the 3 series 2 Ben Cooper figures.
The second day of "12 Days" drops has some really interesting stuff too. If you needed the glow in the dark Gill Man (you do), the black and white Foot, SDCC ALF, or even the Kenner packaging colors Xenomorph, good time to snag them.
>>11263601They change every day unfortunately, so it’s gonna be hard to hit the 5 figures for $100 and actually get 5 things you like unless you just collect a lot of NECA themes.>>11264132You forgot to mention they have Harry Potter Snape and Twilight Jacob… those are really old and rare for anyone looking for them. Not sure how they even still have them.
>>11263614Are these out? These pics have me wanting the figures pretty bad now.
>>11264271>Not sure how they even still have them.probably ancient hastings stock. i cleared out like ten of the stores during their final days but left stuff like that behind.
More good stuff for the third drop. Grindhouse Tarantino is an oddball one, but neat. Some retro cloth Gorilla Soldiers, Ace Ventura, Terminator more Predators.
>>11264810I thought they stopped Terminator stuff a long time ago
>>11265496Oh, no, they've been doing re-releases of the stuff for a while. The Police Assault T-800 even got the updated ball hips on the most recent production. They even did face printing on the figures.
Looks like they are doing "remix" listings, so that ought to give people an option of getting something later if they didn't like the batch of figures before.Tempted on blue Renet...
>>11265878Isn’t blue renet pretty easy to get?
>>11265952Depends. This is the most direct way to get it in a while.
The "Alien Day" Kenner Vasquez is up for order on today's drop. If anyone still needed it.
>>11266844Need her but need Ripley more
Has anyone seen or heard anything about the $2,000 blind boxes? They were supposed to be shipping out one a day but I’ve yet to see anybody post that they got it or anything. Seems sus.
The blindboxes are probably a tell of what's to come in the 12days of figures, given the HP/Twilight crap showing up in the. You can probably expect gargoyles stuff coming up too.
>>11266862these are cheaper on ebay than neca would charge you and readily available. i have like, 4 or 5 just sitting in a box.
>>11266942Sure you do
>>11266948here's 3 from box #1. you're not worth the effort to locate the rest.
>>11266959funny, when neca charges 2024 prices for 2012 stock you think its just fine. jealousy looks bad on you. consider killing yourself.
>>11266962selling a toy from a decade ago that sold so poorly i bought it by the literal garbage bag at market price is not scalping. you are genuinely retarded. again, you don't seem to mind it when neca does it to you directly.
>>11266942Of Ripley? Last I looked she was like 80
>>11266956Sell me one
>>11266975lol no, not even close.
>>11266980why would i be mad? i bought literal garbage bags full of product for $35/bag years ago and almost every time something from the bag sells it covers the cost of the entire bag. necanon seething over me and his beloved company doing the same thing just makes me think he's pathetic. business as usual.
>>11266996I just want one. I'm not expecting a 5 price tag
>>11267004I scalp as well. Just dbz stuff though.
>>11267004>He's already said they're worthless to himno i didn't. i've sat on them for years and only now got around to finally selling one off here and there. i have a real job and don't really care to go to the post office for $40.
>>11267019Ok scalper
>>11267019Thanks asshole
Saw someone who ordered the reissued F13 set and both reissued Freddy sets in the same order and when all were marked as shipped only received the F13 set received their furnace today. So I guess keep an eye out for that if you ordered it.
>>11267020you can't scalp something that came out almost a decade ago >>11267028you can buy one if you want.
>>11267178>you can't scalp something that came out almost a decade agoYou literally can and do
>>11267182that is literally not what scalping is.
>>11267184Literally is
>>11267185literally is not. nevermind that these were purchased over eight years ago as they languished at rock bottom liquidation prices. feel free to buy one at current market price if you need it that bad.
>>11267178>scalper trying to justify his lowlife actionsNow that is sad
>>11267178It's just long term scalping. Scalpers buy when something is plentiful and then once it becomes scarce they charge a huge mark up. That's all that is going on here.
>>11267194again, funny that you don't seem to mind when neca does it to you directly.
>>11267200>long term scalpingliterally not a thing.
>>11267194I know, right? You kind of assume there's going to be scalper scum on this board given the nature of the hobby. Boy it's still surprising when they rear their ugly heads, open their mouths, and show how dumb they are. I wonder if it's really bad in the Hot Wheels threads too.
>>11267205I'll gladly sell you a bitcoin today for a bitcoin in 2012
>>11267178Shoot me a email
>>11267240Better lowball him. Scalpers like him don't deserve your cash.
>>11267020>>11267182>>11267194>>11267200>>11267206>>11267247NECA encourage reselling at inflated prices, so I don't understand why you are singling him out.
>>11267286No, they do not. You're showing you have zero reading comprehension though.
>>11267286Except that's literally warning people to avoid scalpers
>>11267286Who the hell was paying $300 for these?
>>11267316People that gave in to scalpers because they missed out.
>>11267321But why? It’s not that amazing of a release and definitely not necessary for a collection. Do some people just need everything?
>>11267295If they really wanted people to avoid scalpers, they would have rereleased them.
>>11267334but then they wouldn't be able to sell old stock years later at a higher price
>>11267334That defeats the purpose of them being exclusive. Also they're not necessary variants of the characters.
If you're after the Nightmare Before Christmas figures, Target has Mayor and Sally in stock at the moment: Mayor: https://www.target.com/p/neca-nightmare-before-christmas-ultimate-mayor-7--scale-action-figure--no-aasa/-/A-94308620Sally:https://www.target.com/p/neca-nightmare-before-christmas-ultimate-sally-7--scale-action-figure--no-aasa/-/A-94308650
Damn, today has some good drops. Fucking Simon Belmont? That's a big one for me. Would love to get their Drac or Succubus. Alien 3 Ripley and some other stuff returning.
>>11267680Yeah, Simon is insane… that’s like a $200 figure secondhand.
>>11267680Again, they’re charging today’s prices for Simon when he was like under half of that originally.
>>11267680Got all of the Simons left, gonna take em to eBay.
>>11267787it's okay when neca does it.
>>11267787You must be retarded or something
>>11267791Honestly with how much they’re going for on eBay, I can’t blame you. I only picked up one myself though.
>>11267791Oh wow, you got all of...one figure? Because it's limited to one per. What a waste of a troll post.
>>11267803He's trolling, the store only allows one figure per day.
Is there a chance between the blind boxes and the 12 days of figures that NECA is clearing out their warehouse to switch over to retailers only? It seems like they got rid of a lot of merchandise considering costumes.com, where a lot of leftover items were being sold, doesn’t even seem to sell any NECA stuff anymore. Maybe they decided after all of the warehouse issues it wasn’t worth doing anymore.
>>11267818No, they're clearing stuff out because they're increasing their online store and what merch they're selling starting in January. >>11260728All of this is in prep for that. The computer system change over was in prep for this new setup too.
>>11267820Oh okay, good to hear. Hopefully they’ve worked out all of the kinks by the time it comes out.
You guys think they’ll find stock of Dracula or Alucard in the next few days too?
>>11267812>>11267813Multiple cards/addresses. I got 5 , which cost little more than one would sell for anyway. Gonna sit on them for sometime , Konami isn’t licensing anytime soon
>>11267844You are such a piss poor liar.
>>11267844proof or GTFO
Someone posted they found these at the universal Orlando park, guess new repaints maybe exclusive to universal.
>>11268082
>>11268082Looks like it’s based on Basil Gogo’s art, but I’m not really sold on it.
>>11268086Oh that's sick, I like the Dracula one a lot.
>>11268097I believe the Dracula one is based on this art
>>11268082>>11268089NAILED IT!
Looks like someone received their used lab from neca today….https://www.reddit.com/r/NECATMNT/s/d5xH4gaUiH>not the usual neca tape>remnants of peeled off old shipping label>tape seal broken on lab box
>>11268162They wouldn't be making this with product they were stuck with, these have to be painted new. This is just the licensor asking the current product holder to make exclusive toys for the park, since the new monsters expansion is getting push.
>>11268082>>11268086Yo I like these a lot. Is it only those two? Is there a Creature? I wonder if these are on eBay yet...I want these.
>>11268173Grim, but we knew it was going to happen. RIP to any MIB collector that hasn't received their Lab yet.
>>11268241To hell with MIBers. Toys are meant to be opened.
>>11268241Who the hell would buy a diorama to keep it in the box?
>>11268255Toys are meant to be played with, but 90% of collectors pose them once and plonk them on the shelf. Or open it, pose it for photos, and then shove them in a closet.
>>11268173this is insane, not even a note of apology. they've really shown an ugly side throughout this lab situation
>>11268267A note of apology? Holy fuck, you are nuts if you think anyone expects that or deserves that. It's great to see they're getting the labs from people and getting them to the people that ordered. The only ugly side has been from shitheel collectors that tried to keep them.
>>11268277hopefully every toy you receive from this moment forward is delayed and used by someone else first since you're so okay with it
>>11268267Dear moderately valued customer,We are sorry that we fucked up and sent your Donnie's Lab Diorama to another customer. We have made things right by giving the person who received your diorama due to our ineptitude a $100 voucher for the Necastore as a bribe to get them to send the diorama back to us, and you are now blessed with the opportunity to receive second hand product for full price. We have opened it to make sure all the parts were there, but we can make no assurances that the previous customer hasn't rubbed their smegma encrusted member all over it while they were in possession of it. If you are unhappy with this, feel free to try to find a sealed Donnie's Lab on eBay for the same price.Sincerely,NECA
>>11268296I'm just not a crazy person that expects a company to write an apology note. That's batshit insane.
>>11268307decent companies apologize all the time
Is Tech Noir Arnie good? Bad? Like every other NECA figure. Kinda tempted since I dig the look.
>>11268332What? No, it’s great. Just like every other NECA figure.
>>11268332Limited in articulation, but it's very good. The newer releases (ending in 21 or 22 I believe) have the ball hips, too. Also they gave them face printing, so they look even better.
>>11268089I have a son of Frankenstein poster like that. Owned by Robert Osborne
>>11267591Thanks man, just got mine ordered
>>11268332i like mine, but do not like the reissues. the articulation has apparently been slightly updated, but i think the heads look way worse. don't like the new paint jobs at all. actually i kinda love mine now that i think about it, i'm gonna dig it out now. it's nothing special but it was a regular part of my display for years.
>>11268410I can’t possibly see how you could possibly think the new heads are worse.
>>11268410>>11268426nevermind, just looked it up and they look pretty similar. it's the police station assault reissue that i think looks terrible.
actually now that i think about it, where the hell is ultimate kyle reese?
>>11268448Probably likeness rights if I had to guess
>>11268451They made Hicks from Aliens though.
>>11268491I guess, but that was like 10 years ago at this point. My hope is we’ll get reissues of a lot of the aliens stuff soon and maybe they’ll get his likeness rights again and do Reese as well.
>>11267591Santa Jack is up too: https://www.target.com/p/neca-nightmare-before-christmas-ultimate-santa-jack-7--scale-action-figure--no-aasa/-/A-94308628
Next time I hear all they make is Turtles… wait till the Predator and Alien lines show up…
>>11268900It's been a good, long line.
The 12 days of figures today is pretty meh, but understandable after some of these past few days have been absolute fire. Still can’t believe I got a Simon Belmont yesterday.
>>11268900>Predator line has been going for the past 14 yearsPretty impressive, that has to be the longest running property they've handled.
>>11269262And yet we still don’t have an ultimate wolf predator. Bravo.
Ben Cooper wave 5 (the DC wave) is up for preorder on BBTS
Average stuff in today's 12 Days drop. The Mirage Claw Shredder is probably what most people will want.
>>11269664Damn I was really hoping they’d have the other castlevania figures…
You DID get a mystery box, right?
>>11268900This hardly counts anymore. The Predator line use to have 3 figures per wave, several waves a year. Now it's come to a complete stop. Look at how long it took Feral to come out, and Wolf is still nowhere to be seen. Probably not happening till 2027 at BEST for the 20th anniversary of the film. They also haven't made figures from Hunting Grounds, or recent comics. It's dead.
>>11268900>>11269935>pictures for ants
>>11269946I mean that’s what they provided
>>11269946You can download the huge ass version on the neca site. It's over the image size limit for here.
>>11269933They had to stick a bunch of overstock in the mystery boxThey continue to re-release existing figures and update them. They care about the line more than most, but ultimately it's a line where most of them have fairly similar design and the more unique designs are from less popular media, and the general franchise is on a slow point for now
>>11269656On the neca store too, free shipping and a little cheaper.
>>11269664I haven't read the comics, why does Shredder have crab claws
>>11270418it's a clone after the real one died
>>11270418The Foot were into some twisted shit. Mystic worms that fed on the real Shredder's remains and became the deformed clones of Shredder. There's a four armed Shredder clone and a mini-Shredder too. These same worms that made these things end up getting eaten by a shark, who then mutates into the Shredder-Shark monster in another comic.
Heroes of the Storm Nova is a pretty good figure that's up today. The Ultimate Guardian Predator has been really spotty to find at retail for some reason, so that might not be a bad one for folks if they're filling out their Lost Tribe. Otherwise no huge surprises today.
Ultimates checklist today. Nothing we haven't known was coming, but some package shots of the new Leatherface figures, Pee-Wee, and the Count.
>>11271993packaging doesn't mean shit. its the trash around the toy. you'd have to be a crazy person to think otherwise.
>>11272016I keep it in case I want to sell, I earn a few bucks extra with it.
>>11260707>still no Paul Kersey Deathwish figuresad
>>11272016This, they could ship me the figures in a plastic bag and I wouldn’t care. Hell, I’d prefer it if they used that money for the extravagant boxes instead for more accessories or better paint apps.
>>11262485Then ask way less for the figure as is.
>>11272016Not wrong, but it's cool to know what to look for when it hits store shelves.
>>11272372That's not how that works, at all.
>>11272375Fuck you it's not! It's a fucking statue with movable arms at best.
>>11272400You should try making a toy, it'll be hilarious to watch you flounder with all your preconceived notions of how things work in the real world.
>>11272405You say this like you’ve made toys…
>>11272405>Just make your own movie if you wanna criticize this one!NECAnon please.
>>11272408I say this as someone who's seen tons and tons of people make toys who actively discuss the issues that come up in doing so. People that are happy to tell you what it's really like. This information isn't hidden, nor is it all some conspiracy theory why this or that costs a certain way.
>>11272405>less articulation = less parts = less molds required = less places for things to go wrong = less testing needed for tolerancesThis is why a Pop Up Parade 2B is half the price of a Figma 2B.
I replaced the damn fixed elbows and knees with movable joints.
Ever wonder what's underneath the mask on these NECA Ben Cooper figures? I ran into this one at Target whose mask fell off in the package. Horrifying!
>>11272618Oversimplified explanation and wrong.
>>11272718I oversimplified it because I know I am dealing with a simpleton.
>>11272734Because you have no idea what you're talking about. As usual.
12 days drop has some goodies like the Pale Man, video game paint series T-800, and Shadow Master Super Shredder.
>>11272814I like how you larp as a toy manufacturing expert because you watched an interview with Trevor Zammit.
>>11272830I like how you remain ignorant about toy manufacturing when all the information is readily available and has nothing to do with a single entity in the business.
>>11272840Oh, I know enough about toy manufacturing that I can tell that you are full of shit. You've proved that dozens of times now.
>>11272847So you know literally nothing? Appreciate the confirmation.
>>11272865>So you know literally nothingNo, that would be you. I've already explained to you how less articulation equals a cheaper product, and cited an example of a character with the same amount of paint in roughly the same scale, and all you've done is cry "nuh-uh" and continued your larp.That's all you can do.
>>11272879You are so adorable. So please, would you like to tally up the cost of everything else, including licensing fees? Or would that mess up your autistic focus on only articulation? Oops.
>>11272880>licensing feesMy example was exactly the same character in roughly the same scale from the same company. All under the same licensing agreement.This was why I chose that as an example, but I could have chosen any of the dozens of characters that have both a Figma and a PuP, and the PuP is always cheaper.
>>11272884Oh so all licesing costs the same in your world? And factory costs? And paint apps, not to mention amount of paint apps are all certainly the same on anime titties that they would be on a movie monster figure. Sure, sure. And I'm sure the plastic costs are exactly the same too right? And packaging design, and shipping costs and on and on. All the same. Mmhmm. You live in a very small, very ill informed world.
>>11272891I was comparing the Pop Up Parade 2B to the Figma 2B to eliminate variables like size, paint etc. To show how with two products, negotiated under the same license, in roughly the same scale, of the same character, requiring the same paint apps, the statue will always be cheaper.>not to mention amount of paint apps are all certainly the same on anime titties that they would be on a movie monster figureThat's not what I'm comparing, you jibbering fucking moron. You are quite literally arguing for the sake of arguing. >plastic costsLiterally the same type of PVC that is used for action figures.>shipping costsShipping costs usually end up being more for the statue since it can't be posed in a neutral pose that takes up less space, so you've fucked yourself there.
>>11272902So you actually have no idea how any manufacturing or costing out of a toy works? Okay then. This was fun but you're only showing your ignorance over and over. >Literally the same type of PVC that is used for action figures.Especially here. You are so naive to think every toy uses only one kind of plastic.
>>11272909>You are so naive to think every toy uses only one kind of plastic.No, even some of my model kits use more than one type of plastic. I just stopped putting any effort into my responses after your fallacious argument which consisted of:>not to mention amount of paint apps are all certainly the same on anime titties that they would be on a movie monster figureThat was when I realised you are just arguing for the sake of arguing. And you still haven't said anything more than "nuh-uh" so you can be a dumb cunt on someone else's time.
>>11272918No, you just don't know anything. So you have to jump into insults to pad out your responses. Fly away now little birdy.
>>11272928Why are the Mondo Real Ghostbusters so expensive?
>>11272942Because the articulation.
>>11272942corporate greed
>>11273110There's barely any
>>11273146Just like the Krampus
I guess people are receiving their furnaces and this new one is actually an improvement on the original… has sculpted detail inside the furnace of bones and skulls and complete with a sculpted flame whereas the old one had no detail and was just a tealight. Plus there’s extra paint apps on the handle and a new gauge to boot. Sucks for those who may have passed on it and already had it since it was marketed as a reissue… but nice to see improvements for those who did get it.
>>11273200Hell that's pretty neat that they added that detail.
Looks like leech woman is out in the wild
Oof, they misspelled Chris Sarandon‘s name on the auto cards
>>11273546I'm sure it's the Chinese factory's fault.
>>11273546Okay. So what?
>>11273546Didn't bother Chris apparently.
>>11273695Remember when the barely animated corpse of Stan Lee was getting rolled out to signings despite the fact he barely knew where he was half the time?Chris is 82, so his grandkids probably just shoved a sharpie in his hand and told him to do it or they would put him in the crooked old folks home they saw on 60 Minutes. He probably didn't notice it because he just wanted his arthritis medication.
>>11273697Dude has an instagram and does online videos, he's completely aware of what he's doing and saying.
Can’t believe nobody posted it yet, but red scout is on the final 12 day of figures. So I’d hurry if you want him it’ll be sure to sell out.
>>11273805I'm surprised they had some of these figures still. That's pretty cool.
>>11273807Yeah it’s crazy really, all of those TF2 figures are extremely pricey nowadays. I’m seeing solds on eBay for red scout sealed are $200+.
>>11273651So the misspelling ruins the value of the autograph?
>>11262390They screwed this up SO bad. It's supposed to go live at 9am, but some days, it'd be up and hour or FIVE before that time. Some good figs in there, but unfortunate if you believed their drop times. On one day, there were NO figures listed for sale a few hours. Whoever's running their website needs to be re-trained, or something.
>>11274456>Whoever's running their website needs to be re-trainedSame for the pick-packers in their warehouse. And their customer service staff. And their PR team. And their legal team. And judging from >>11273546 their QC guys and proofreaders could do with some more training too.
>>11274350Not even a little. You have to be incredibly autistic to think that.
>>11274456Oh you poor baby. They didn't screw anything up, and everything went live when it was supposed to. It went up a few minutes early at worst. You are being hyperbolic for the sake of being a dumbass.
>>11274502Nope.
>>11274599I guess they'll just keep sending out duplicate orders of high priced items, ignoring customer emails, and printing autograph cards with typos on them.
>>11274350You have to be some kind of insane person to think that ruins an autograph. The whole point is the autograph itself. A typo is meaningless.
>>11274786It's about as valuable as a photo of Sean Connery signed by Roger Moore.
>>11275422That literally makes absolutely no sense and is in no way a proper comparison.
>>11275422Pic and situation unrelated
>>11274786Actually what is signed does have a bearing on how much the autograph is worth, and how in demand it is. No real autograph collector is going to want a mass produced card with a typo, especially when his signature is easily obtainable. You can probably get him to sign something without a typo when he goes to a local con. Sometimes you can even organise for him to sign whatever you send in beforehand, though the period of eligibility is closed for this Galaxy Con.https://galaxycon.com/blogs/events/sarandon-page?srsltid=AfmBOopN1P-dPgPxneYpdgb8n20bBE3uJHBfUJBRDsfmO28DCkLMhIWGThis one even comes with a COA. And no typos. https://www.mintychauthentics.com/collections/chris-sarandon/products/sarandon_047So what kind of autograph hunter would want this shit with a typo?
>>11275604>>11275639I'm not surprised the nuance of this post is lost on you. You see, Comic Book Guy was trying to convince Bart that this was actually worth something, when the fact is, just like a signed card with the signatory's name misspelled, only someone ignorant of the market would think it was valuable.
>>11275645Peoplethat aren't autistic and want "Jack Skellington"'s autograph would want it. Especially id they're wanting to add it to their NBX collection. You'd have to be a fucking retard to think that would hurt any perceived value it has.
>>11275645There's not a person on this planet that cares about that typo. They got it "free" when buying their toys. There's less than 150 out there, it's a cool rarity.
>>11273546Is there any sort of C.O.A. that comes with that little auto card? If not I would be afraid of buying one of these autograph figures. Seems easy to just make a copy of the auto.
>>11275650>>11275652>You're autistic if you want things without manufacturing defects in your collection>You're ignorant of you think things with manufacturing defects will be worth less than those without defectsI'm just going to deal with both posts at once, because it's obvious you are samefagging. I doubt there would be more than one moron on this thread defending this fuck up.Did you know you can add lots of NBX signed posters and cards to your collection quite easily?Look at this one. Signed by both Chris Sarandon AND Catherine O'Hara. And there are about 50 other signed NBX cards on this site alone.https://www.hollywoodmemorabilia.com/en/chris-sarandon-and-catherine-ohara-signed-nightmare-8x10-photo-~-beckett-bas/p-467790893728086305+z-8-1191764575?_ref=p-ALP:m-GRID:i-r16c0:po-48Your signed NECA error card isn't worth shit. If you don't believe me, take it to an autograph authenticator. Take it on Pawn Stars so that even that retard Chumlee laughs you out of the store.>>11275669Probably still the same samefag, but no, it's not a cool rarity. Picrel is a cool rarity.
>>11275678It's not easy, it's easily verified, and your "fear" is extremely ignorant.
>>11275669>There's less than 150 out there, it's a cool rarity.These seem to be the same autograph cards from 2001 that are in this eBay auction, so there are way more than 150 out there.This also explains how they have Glenn Shadix cards 14 years after his death.And looking at the Chris Sarandon ones, they had the typo back then too.
>>11275678You can get an A3 Nightmare Before Christmas poster signed by Sarandon with a COA and no typos for less than twice the price of these cards.
>>11275697Then that's even better honestly.
>>11275699But there's no figures involved. So who cares about that?
>>11275707You seem confused. After Donnies Lab, Baby Beetlejuice, the PR disaster stemming from their threats to customers, the lack of customer service, the attempt to damage control the situation by giving "bonuses" to "customers in good standing" and the revelation that Blaine is a creepy groomer, I don't think the sky is falling. It's just another Friday night at the NECA comedy club with Carrot Top as the main act, but we aren't laughing at his jokes. Just at him. But watching you try to justify and ameliorate every fuck up they make is even funnier.>>11275709You can buy some NBX figs in the same transaction and ask the seller to send you the wrong ones if you are looking for that authentic NECA experience.
>>11275719Ohhh there we go. None of this matters, you just wanted to be a troll. Thanks for laying that out, means everything you said is as meaningless as expected and can be ignored.
My mom loved her Vincent price. Think they are going to make an accessory set with a chair?
>>11275728Probably not, but there's always Etsy for stuff like that. Or try to track down Pale Man...I think that was his chair in those photos?
>>11275726Everything you say is meaningless because it all stems from some weird deep seated company loyalty that results in you defending every fuck up they make, so your accusations are meaningless. Your comments are worth less than a social media influencer's posts about Ray Ban Meta or the latest diet fad. They aren't organic, and if I could block you, I would.Laughing at Neca's long list of fuckups this year isn't trolling, it's no different to laughing at everything that goes wrong with Tesla's cyber truck.
>>11275731Pretty sad that you're still trying to troll, you really need a new hobby. Nothing you've said means anything, and you're mad over a toy company of all things. Do something else with your pathetic day.
>>11275776Oh how cute, you think everyone is one person again. Bro your obsession is not healthy in the slightest.
>>11275808So you've spent a decade shitposting and trolling and you think they're the problem? That is not a good look for you. Extra hilarious because it's gotten you nowhere. Lol.
>>11275835I'm sorry a typo made you lose your shit. I think you should get another hobby, because toys aren't for you.
>>11275728Is your mom a Price fan or a horror fan in general?
Veebee has a review/first look of the Sesame Street figures coming soon. Including the hinted at but unannounced fourth figure. ...Which mmmmight be Oscar.
>>11276083Both. I grew up watching tcm, poirot, adventures of Sherlock Holmes and stuff.
>>11276450I was just about to post about that, that was a great interview. You can tell how much Trevor cares about the figures he’s involved with.
Interesting update to the blind boxes, they changed the listed value from $500 to $400 today and got rid of any mention of the $2,000 mystery box that was supposedly being sent to a customer every day. Considering nobody ever posted about that, it was probably false advertising.
>>11277220Not everyone is a terminally online loser posting about what they bought. It wasn't false advertising. Quit throwing around terms when you clearly don't know what it means.
>>11277227Considering they’ve been doing the blind boxes for about a month and if they were truly sending out one every day or whatever, someone who’s in a NECA social media group would’ve posted one by now.
>>11277220>it was probably false advertising.Wouldn't be the first time. Remember the "sturdy foam topper" for the sewer diorama?
>>11277348Nah I don’t, I don’t really follow the TMNT stuff. What was the deal with that?
>>11277375They included a sheet of foam board with a road print on it with the TMNT sewer lair so that you could place the Street Scene Diorama on top of it, since the sewer lair was only three walls and a floor with no roof, and the Street Scene Diorama doesn't have a solid base because it is made of several sections joined together, so it was going to require support to display like that. It was specifically advertised as "sturdy" but because it is made of flimsy foam board, every image ever posted shows the foam board bowing under the weight of the street scene diorama. You didn't need a physics or engineering degree to predict this would happen.
>>11277390No, that's you being a disingenuous asshole. The foam board is not flimsy, none of that is false advertising either. It is sturdy, and it's kept everything held up forever now.
>>11277390>the Street Scene Diorama doesn't have a solid baseIt does. Why do you lie about things you know nothing about?
>>11277390Is there any photos of this? I tried looking it up and all the ones I saw it seemed to hold it normally.
>>11277422No, he's being a baby about it because it "sags" by a whole millimeter. But it's supported by the walls and the piping, but he somehow thinks that's bad.
>>11277422Here is one, but there are more in the archive and on other sites. The only anon that is getting upset about this is someone that needs to damage control every fuck up the company makes.
>>11277447Oh wow, look at how...little it's "sagging." But thanks for the red line you dolt. It's hilarious that you ignore the angle of the photo too.
>>11277459The floor of the sewer lair doesn't have the curve, and is at more of an angle to the camera lense, so your comment is pointless. I guess you could always enrol in a science course at your local community college if you want to try to use lense refraction as the basis of your argument.
>>11277447>holding up all those figures plus giant playset without issueyou don't seem to understand what a fuck up is
>>11277474>holding up all those figures plus giant playsetYeah. That's the point. It's why they don't make bookcases out of foam board.
>>11277479It's holding it all up without a problem. Yet you're crying about it like it is.
>>11277482>It's holding it all up without a problemI dunno. That sag after only a few minutes of display is a bit of a problem. I'm glad you don't design footbridges.>cryingPointing out that foam board isn't sturdy doesn't constitute crying. You need to stop with the hyperbole.
>>11277493It's been holding up more than that for over a year. It's not a problem, it's you trying to shitpost about things that aren't problems.
>>11277495Post a pic then. Or are you afraid that we will see how bad the sag is.
>>11277501Your brain is the only thing sagging
>>11277501funny how no one else has had any problems with it after all this time and yet you, who don't own it, are the one ranting about it. true madness
>>11277505Nice troll comeback. Shame it doesn't make any sense. At least you tried.>>11277511>funny how no one else has had any problems with it after all this timeNo, hoardanon complained about it's flimsiness, and unlike you, he posts his toys. But let me guess, he doesn't count because you have a grudge against him.So it took you 20 minutes to reply, but you still can't post a pic? But you've had it set up for a year? I'm guessing the foam board is drooping as much as your mother's tits and you are too embarrassed to show your failure.I mean, look at >>11277447 again. Did you stop to wonder why anon didn't put more than 2 figures on the "sturdy" foam board level, and why he put the heaviest figure close to the edge?>madnessMadness is expecting anyone to believe that foam board is sturdy. >rantingIf we are including the pic anon asked for, I would have only made two comments about it if you didn't go into an obsessive compulsive sperg fit like you always do whenever you disagree with reality.
>>11277532Wow a known troll said something about it? That must mean it's true! Except no, it's not. And actual people have not had an issue. >Did you stop to wonder why anon didn't put more than 2 figures onBecause he was just showing off his setup that he started putting together. It's amazing how you're trying to justify your shitty behavior and make claims for other people. You are insane.
>>11277797 >You are insane.You are the one trying to convince people foam board is sturdy.
>>11277818You are the one stealing people's images and making claims about something you don't own, have no experience with, and then make up insane stories about based on those images and your biases.
>>11277884Jesus Christ, you just keep digging yourself a bigger hole don't you? You constantly lie about these things and then you try to justify it using another troll's bullshit post? You're grasping at straws. Nobody's had a problem with the setup, nobody's reported any problems all this time, and yet you, YOU are so mad about that you're still trying to force the meme. How sad.
>>11277884so "flimsy" it's holding up a ton of weight and has for months and months and months. you don't understand words
>>11277894>You constantly lie about these thingsI posted a picture that proved it, and all you've done is screech for nearly two days. You say no one has had a problem with it, but when I show a post from someone that does have a problem with it, you dismiss that person as a troll, despite the fact that you have trolled him more than he has ever trolled you.If I posted proof from Reddit, or Instagram, or Youtube, you would probably find another reason to dismiss it. No matter what, you will find a reason to reject reality. So have another "stolen" photo from our very own archive that proves it isn't an isolated incident, or in my imagination, or whatever lame excuse you need to tell yourself to sleep at night.
>>11277897I have yet to see a photo of any diorama that has supported all of that weight for "months and months." Both of the "stolen" photos I retrieved from the archive were taken immediately after they were shipped to customers.But like I said, you have had 24 hours to post your diorama that has been set up for "months and months." But I doubt you will, or you would have done it by now.Seek help. And learn how to capitalise words and use punctuation. I understand it might be difficult when you are foaming at the mouth after being proved wrong repeatedly, but it might help your posts come across as less infantile.
>>11277935Oh boy, there's that bullshit red line again just to add on to your insane obsession. >>11277937That's nice dude. You're a troll and nothing has happened to the foam board. It's doing exactly what it's meant to do, and you are a child freaking out about it.
>>11277945>It's doing exactly what it's meant to do,Bending under an amount of weight that it was never engineered to handle?
>>11277945>there's that bullshit red line againThe red line is a straight line, and it's there so you can't pretend that there is no curvature in the foam board. This is necessary because you are a prolific liar that would deny that there was any curve in the foam board, as you did when both of those photos were posted in past threads without the red line.
>>11277935>you dismiss that person as a troll,NTA but that guy is a known troll, so, yeah, why would anyone believe him? And you posting >>11277532 is pretty silly given it was a troll response. Of course he was going to say something like that. He takes any chance he can to talk shit about neca stuff even though he buys it. Confirmation bias much? You may now continue your pussy slap fight.
>>11277959>He takes any chance he can to talk shit about neca stuff even though he buys it.That thread where he lambasted the flimsy foam board and the parts that don't stay stuck to Donnie's Lab walls was also the same series of posts where he posted Tatsu and the Triceraton Gladiators. And do you know how much he shit talked about those figures?Absolutely fucking zero.He might be a smart ass that makes tongue in cheek jokes, but he praises things when appropriate and criticises when appropriate. But of course, having a sense of humor and not being a mindless consuming robot that praises everything makes you a troll in this day and age.I would trust someone who openly criticises the products he buys because he has no loyalty to a company over someone who blindly praises everything a company makes.
>>11277979You sure love tonguing that loser's anus. Trolls love sucking off other trolls I guess.
>>11277979>and the parts that don't stay stuck to Donnie's Lab wallsOh I remember those posts! Yeah! He was lying about that. Another anon proved he was wrong by showing everyone what he was doing. He was purposely not seating things correction so he could shitpost. Yeah, nobody should trust someone like that. That's pretty stupid.
>>11278283Nice attempt at rewriting history there bud. It's nice to see your schizo mentality is making you as paranoid as possible when people, gasp, like a thing. Bed with trolls, it just makes you look worse.
>>11278321Just as an observer, you seem to the one shitting your pants in anger over a foam board on a toy you don't own and have zero actual experience with. Not only that, but your whole fantasy is tied to the postings of a well known troll, and you seem to be happy to avoid the fact that not a single soul has had any complaints or problems with their setups. That really seems to bother you. It does, doesn't it? You've reposted images that weren't yours, complained and complained...for whom? You're the only one complaining. You have a true sickness. How weak minded are you to have let a playset bother you this badly? You are a pitiable monster.
>>11277422>all the ones I saw it seemed to hold it normally.Yeah, it's because they do. You'll notice nobody has ever posted about anything falling or whatever. The whole thing is a dumb argument. Best you not get roped in to.
Gonna need a Skarsgard Orlok now.
>he's still goingThat's pretty sad.
The foam board is a distraction. We shouldn't be so focussed on the foam board, and we should return to the original allegations of false advertising made in this thread: has anyone seen, anywhere, on any toy forum, someone posting about receiving a $2000 blind box?
>>11278472No, that was in reference to you and all your insane diatribes. Because you really do need help.
>>11278673>No uGive it up. You lost.Now let's focus on the whereabouts of the $2000 blind boxes and if they even exist, or if it was another shady ploy by NECA.
>>11278695>trying to change the subject after embarrassing himself so badlyYou really are pathetic.
>>11278695No, sorry, nobody is interested in more of your brain rot conspiracy theories. Not everyone is online, not everyone would've gotten that box.
>>11278709The lack of any reports of the $2000 boxes was what led to the falsely advertised sturdy foam board being brought up. I'm just getting the discussion back on track after you screeched about the foam board to distract from the original allegation.>>11278710>Not everyone is onlineYou literally had to be online to purchase them. But the odds that not a single collector on any toy forum or social site never received one, or even knows someone who received one, is astronomically small. Statistically improbable.
>>11278717Or, you know, you're an insane person who doesn't know what you're talking about. I think that's far more likely.
>>11278448Nekkid or clothed?
I’m a little annoyed, I ordered a horror mystery box way back on the 15th when it restocked and I’ve yet to get a shipping notification for it. My biggest worry is now that they’ve switched the value from $400 to $500 that I may not receive as much as I was promised when I ordered, but we’ll see it. Hopefully it ships this week.
>>11279519Meant $500 to $400
>>11278448I'd be surprised if they don't. If nothing else, Mezco is doing him.
