I am excited. Laika character designs tend to be thin limbed, which NECA has had QC issues with figures with thinner limbs (Xenomorphs, Jaegers) but any Paranorman or Kubo figures I get will be kept carded anyways, and I know NECA will nail the sculpt/pain on these so Im stoked. Was hoping someone would churn out a Kubo figure soon. I'll get my sister all the Coraline figures, snabbed her the SDCC 2017 NECA exclusive. And Dutch and the TMNT set, NECA got me with their SDCC stuff this year.

I don't know about this...I think Laika's movies have been great, but none of them have been big hits at all (Kubo was a total flop, sadly). For a company that usually does so well at thinking of the bottom line when it comes to the properties it licenses and makes merchandise based on, I think NECA is making some very bad moves recently (this line and Valerian).
Don't get me wrong, I'd sure as hell buy some Coraline figures, but overall this line probably won't sell at all with the masses (but I'd love to be proven wrong). Last edited by Dolemite; 07-18-2017 at 10:15 AM.. |

I've only seen ParaNorman & it was good. I've avoided Coraline for years, because Gaiman doing kiddie stories never struck home for me. If these are $12-$15, I'll probably get some, but any more than that, I'll pass.

I enjoyed some of the movies, but I think I'll pass on these. Can't afford everything although I'm sure the figures will look awesome.

I've known about this deal for a while now, and I'm looking forward to seeing what NECA can do.
I hate fragile figures, but I'm afraid that's probably what we'll get from NECA and these thin limbed characters. That and/or lots of bendy wires, another thing I'm not a fan of. My kids absolutely love KUBO, and we both want figures, but sadly these will likely be much to fragile for probably both of us. My interest is pique, but I fear the execution. |

Kubo's the only one of these movies I've seen, but it kicked SO MUCH ASS. I would be down for something in 3.75" scale but NECA doesn't do that usually... although I imagine if they made the gashadokuro it'd fit most scales, heh.

It was actually pretty good man, my daughter watches it frequently, and normally I cant get into these types of flicks, but I actually enjoyed it, I know "to each they're own" but you may find it enjoyable.

I really like Coraline. Aside from the animation (I'm just drawn to about anything done in stop-motion animation) I dig the way it's a darker fairy-tale but still has a vivid world. Kubo was great too and it is a shame that the movie flopped financially.
