Oh wow 12 points of articulation for dynamic posing! How phenomenal for us living in 1997.

Fantastic, I hope they produce the whole main cast given time.

It depends on the type of movies or shows you're into. If you like films like ET, Super 8, and directors like John Carpenter, then you'll probably really like this. The whole show is very 80's, not only in setting, but also in the way it's presented.
I enjoyed it immensely, even though there were a few hiccups, it still was a very easy and fun watch. Likeable cast, a great performance by Winona Ryder, awesome soundtrack.

I have JUST binge watched this THIS weekend!!! It is epic.
Think, the kids from Stand By Me meet the X-Files set in the same time and feel as E.T. with some Alien style horror thrown in. I would HIGHLY recommend it. I'm not too into X-Files and sci fi stuff, but this was awesome. My son has just seen these figures and I am guessing I will go all in and these guys will be under the Christmas tree this year.

This is a great show! I watched 1 episode when my wife fell asleep one night, but I quickly realized I needed to watch it with her. The 80s is nailed in this show, even more than some movies I have watched claiming to be the 80s. As a kid from the 80s I felt real at home with this show. Winona is great in this! Even though I don't like some McFarlane stuff, I admire the card backs used here, and I too will be picking these up. Too bad they don't release in October when the show returns, close enough though. Can't wait! |

I've never seen a full episode of the show, I've heard it's really good so I don't wanna knock it for anyone that likes it, but from what I've seen it looks like a plot padded out with "Ooh, lookit this 80's thing!!! And this 80's thing!!! You remember this 80's thing, right? Nostalgia!!!"

Well that's good to hear! Unfortunately I still don't think I'll have any time soon to binge it :P

Without even getting into specific callbacks to the era, the entire premise itself is entrenched in the 80s trope of a band of misunderstood outcast kids going on an adventure....i.e. the goonies, monster squad, cloak&dagger,explorers,etc. Add some classic Stephen King and there you go.

I liked Stranger Things, but I wasn't wowed by it the way some people were. It looked digital to me which made it feel like it was modern - even though it was set in the 80's. I never saw a reason for it being set in the 80's other than some kind of appeal to nostalgia (and to get to use some great music) as it didn't have any plot relevance. I also found the show a little too meandering, and it felt like the creators didn't have an 'out' planned when they started so there are threads still hanging. The next series might clear them up though. I know I'm in a minority with this, and I did enjoy the show, but I really found myself shrugging by the end (btw - I binge watched it). |

These are nice promo pics but I'll hold judgement until I see production. Also I wish Ele came with a bleeding nose alternate head but ehh I can customize a second one.

Yeah the Hooper figure looks like an image with lines cut where the articulation would be, not like even a render of a figure.

Very cool! I just hope they make a figure of Mike to faceoff against the NECA Pennywise whenever that releases. That would be amazing!
