Guillermo del Toro NECA SDCC 2018 Exclusive

Guillermo del Toro NECA SDCC 2018 Exclusive - The Toyark - News

HA! Thats awesome!

Oh no. That's just too great. I definitely want that. While they're at it why don't they just make Steven Spielberg.

Well, that's a SDCC exclusive I can very easily pass on!

No offense to Del Toro...I enjoy his movies and all, but I have zero interest in owning the man in action figure form.

it appears that del toro and mj have the same stylist.

As a film buff and massive Del Toro fan I must own this! I would love some more directors too, having Cronenberg, Fulci, Argento, Carpenter and Romero all hanging out on my shelf would be amazing!

Not gonna lie, I kinda want this.

Well this is a fun exclusive. So now NECA has done Quentin Tarantino (a few times actually), James Cameron, and Guillermo del Toro. Am I missing any one there, are there director figures they've made that I don't know of?

On the subject of GdT, dammit I can't wait for the Pan's Labyrinth figures to come out but I already know it's probably gonna be a while. I've had the Pale Man on pre-order since it was listed and I'm checking every other day to see when the Faun will go up (probably not until after SDCC or later I figure). I also hope we see something new at SDCC, fingers crossed for an Amphibian Man from The Shape of Water.

Not gonna lie, when I first read the reveal for this figure, I quickly saw the words “Shape of Water” and “figure” and got real excited! GDT in figure form is cool and all, but I thought for a second we were getting the amphibian man. Maybe 1 day...

Just like the Cameron Colonial Marine figure, this is a big easy pass for me.

I thought it was an elderly harry potter figure

It's a pretty interesting choice. It makes sense as an exclusive, as I doubt there would be any real retail support for this as a wide release. As much as I've enjoyed numerous del Toro films, I don't have much interest in this. I've never been into the idea of action figures based on filmmakers. It's why I passed on the James Cameron figure. But the response on their pages has been pretty positive, so clearly they have an audience.

The only one that might interest me is a 60's or 70's George Romero. Even then, it would need to be a spot on perfect likeness with a bunch of accessories.

I know why they went Mego style for this…$$$…but I think it would be more appealing if it matched the rest of the GdT figures. That's one of the reasons the Cameron figure works.

Yeah I'm just waiting till theyre all live and just gonna order the whole set, cannot wait, as for this, definitely gonna have to get my hands on this.
