Relatively quiet end to the year, but still some cool announcements. Chucky blind box wave 2 was revealed, and is up for preorder.
Ultimate Dek from Badlands
The once SDCC exclusive poster "Thing" figure has been repackaged for the Poster Series and is now a general release.
The 12 Days of Downloads checklists have shown some teases for new things. We appear to be getting a black and white Metaluna Mutant and Ardeth Bay.
Ben Cooper wave 13 went up for preorder on the NECA store the other day.
>>11651984The decapitated Pam bucket and the toy bloody machete are such clever accessories.
>>11651990Oh shit, they made a B&W Vincent? Is there a colored version? I would love to reunite Vincent and his minion on the Muppet Show.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVSPFp66UK0
I know this is the NECA thread but if I am buying a Flash Gordon figure as a present for someone, am I better off with one of the NECA's - which I probably have to score at EBAY or with a markup, or with one of the Boss Fight Studios ones, which I can still find at MSRP.The recipient actually won't care if it looks like the movie actor or looks like the newspaper daily strips/books - he's a fan of all versions of Flash. The one plus for NECA is that he could eventually get the Ming and I don't think Boss Fight made one or will make one.Thanks!
>>11652037yeah the colour one came out first, you can pick it up on bbts now
>>11652062So BBTS does have the Defenders of Earth Flash Gordon figure, as well as the three movie figures in stock. If you care about that:https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Search?SearchText=neca+flash+gordonIf the Boss Fight figure is easier for you to get a hold of, there's no harm doing that route too.
>>11652168Oh shit, they restocked Vultan. He sold out a while ago and I never checked to see if they got it back in. Thanks for the heads up.
These 12day offerings are crap.
>>11652168Yeah I saw that as well, which sucks because I just took delivery of a Pile of Loot from BBTS two weeks ago! I'd rather get it local, safer bet that I can wrap it, but thank you. I might get the DOF Flash as well eventually for this person.Trying to get them interested in collecting figures.They have Funkos on their desk at work, like most idiots, but since they are only in the office now one day a week, it's mostly junk to collect dust next to their inbox.
Blood pool Pennywise got announced, and up for order. Pretty easy variant, surprised it's already coming though!
>>11652411So instead of giving us all of the like 5+ unique heads from the finale it’s just all reuse? Man… there’s so many cool accessories they could’ve included with this.
>>11651984Id get this just for the pamela bucket.
>>11651985I just want Tiffany and old Chucky, hate this blind box shit
>>11652476So I think these figures are based on early stuff they were sent for the show. I'm guessing before any of the CG stuff with the gaping maw face, pickle man, etc etc. That's the downside of doing figures based on stuff like this...but hopefully we do get more. There's a number of faces or creatures I'd like to see get figures.
>>11652411Should have given him a sousaphone.
>>11652522Yes, and I would've liked the deadlights face, though I don't think NECA had access to the actual episode specifics. I think they were just going off images to make these initial figures.
>>11651992I was thinking if they got to do Chucky, he would had been based on the Good Guys art rather than the Chucky IP itself. I do like how Chucky is all Hanna Barbera'd out.
Fucking nothing. They don't care anymore.
>>11652689We may luck up and get an accessory pack.
>>11651988Its really cool! I missed the first release so this is good for me.It would be cool if they made more Thing figures.
>>11651984No Tarman and Trash for Return of the Living Dead's 40th anniversary....FUCK NECA!!!FACT!!!
Any news on the next Sesame Street release(s)?
>>11653563There's a major brawl going on with the ROTLD rights. The Living Dead Media guy had been selling the license and had a new film lined up, but now there's a lawsuit by the actors in the original film to get money from him.
>>11653609Man, I'm so tired of all these movies getting into legal rights issues.
>>11653619It's one of the consequences of slipshod slapdash movie making in the 70s and 80s, studios screwing over young talent eventually get their comeuppance
>>11653609>but now there's a lawsuit by the actors in the original film to get money from him.How would that mess up a new movie? The Friday the 13th lawsuit, sure, that was over who created the character, so that makes sense. But how would "we want more money" prevent a new project?
>>11653791The actors filed a cease and desist over usage of their likeness (i.e. Linnea as Trash), and in the ensuing legal drama their lawyer found that the guy making the film had less rights than anyone previously thought. For example, the rights to Tarman is apparently owned by the production designer William Stout. He's also being sued by the actors for a large sum of money now, which may or may not be an issue it depends on how the film is being funded. Most of it has been shot, and they said they planned to shoot the rest in winter when it snows. Last I heard they were trying to settle, but the fact the actors crowdfunded to make their own film "Trash's Revenge" is causing a major issue.
