A SINESTRO PREDATOR??!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT?!!!!!!
I will never be able to get that one on their Con exclusive rush. I was already worried because of the cool Joker Alien but add that to the mix and it will be a mad rush to get those. Hopefully they will have some insanely cool TMNT that everybody rushes to get and I can slip through and get the other DC sets again like this time.
I CANNOT wait to see that Sinestro predator though. It is going to look so cool. I am sure it will be at SDCC. CAN'T WAIT FOR NECA SDCC LIKE ALWAYS.

P.S.

You did great Joe. Not as good as your photography but pretty good. Thanks for going up and making the effort!

NECA should crowdfund King Ghidorah. This way the production run is brought and paid for. I'm sure there will be more than enough interest.

Target is their only option to carry it?
What about an online exclusive?

And I haven't seen a single NECA item in a Target store for months.

Has there been any news on the TMNT Dimension X arcade figures? I really hope those aren't cancelled in favor of just the cartoon versions. I actually really like video game versions.

It would have been nice to go to this. I think this thing will get bigger and bigger. This was their own mini convention before SDCC.

I don't see how that can possibly be any cheaper than the SHF version.

I really wish I was still in NJ to attend the event, looked like fun!

It's strange that NECA says the Godzilla figures are so dependent on Target, when 90% of the Targets don't even have the new Godzilla figures from NECA in them. I also find it odd that Target can find space for that gigantic Alien Queen figure but not King Ghidorah?

I can't recall a video game with Shredder having a lightsaber and using that color palette. It's been years since I've played it but I could've sworn that you only fight Super Shredder in Turtles in Time.

At retail yeah. They talk in the video about it. If Toys R Us was around, there would potentially be shelf space. But their biggest physical retailer is Target, and space is generally limited and interest from the retailer has to be there to carry it. An item like Ghidorah needs to be in stores for them. They don't do crowd funding, it's not their business model.

Super shredder was a snes exclusive, as was slash, and pirate Bebop, Rocksteady, and the technodrome level.

My local targets have tons of Neca stuff. Every week two or three full sets of tmnt, avp figures, and a dozen pennywise figures, on top of a few classics like T1000 and Halloween.

Guess it depends on the level of excitement the community shows for Neca stuff.

And if neca can’t fill a vacancy for a vendor. The neca rep quit months ago and has not been replaced. Several key high volume stores in the buffalo market are void of any neca products. This has gone on for months. The only way I get stuff is because the guy that does Canada also does the Niagara Falls store. I live 40 minutes from that one as the north buffalo stores are only about 15 minutes away. This is getting absurd now. Half of my neca purchases are because I see it in person and buy it.

*sigh* I REALLY regret not going to this. I live NY and totally within driving distance, so I really don't have much of an excuse. If it happens again next year I have to go. Plus, it would have been cool to meet the ToyArk crew and thank them for all their hard work in helping to drain my fucking wallet with their awesome reviews/photo shoots.

I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt, but it is kind of hard to believe that you can have space for a Deluxe Queen Alien and an Ultimate Quarter-Scale Deadpool and some how not have enough space or drum up enough interest for a King Ghidorah figure.

I also question why King Ghidorah would be so much more expensive than any of their deluxe or Quater-Scale offerings. In roughly the same scale, they are able to make a $20-$25 Godzilla figure where S.H. Monsterarts makes a $75-$80 figure of the same design. S.H. Monsterarts Ghidorah figure is retailing for around $150-$180. What on earth is NECA doing that makes an attempt so financially unfeasible? They’ve proven that customers are willing to throw down over $125 or more a figure or set of figures. And I seem to recall there being preorders for a 1/2 articulated Deadpool figure for nearly $700. How is there any kind of market for that online or otherwise, size and price withstanding and yet a Ghidorah figure is simply not possible?

Also, Also they are selling Diorama pieces that never see the light of day on a retail shelf for over $100 and somehow there is still enough of an online market for more pieces of the detail and scale of the street scene Diorama they just released. Obviously the work that goes into an articulated three-headed dragon is likely more complicated than a building that's just supposed to look pretty, but still.

I always imagined a NECA Ghidorah would require some assembly anyway. Detach the wings, the three heads, and the tails and artfully cram those pieces in a box the size of the Queen Alien and I’m sure they could make work for $50 cheaper than the Monsterarts offering.

I don’t pretend to know the numbers and the folks at NECA must know what there talking about, but the excuses they've given so far sound like stretch. Regardless I’ll take them at their word, because that’s honestly the only thing you can do at this point.

In reality I’m OK if they don’t make King Ghidorah. I’ll take a MUTO from the 2014 movie instead.

They said multiple times that Ghidorah would be a minimum $150 figure. It's a one use design that Target wasn't interested in. Hard to justify the tooling cost for something that's a hard sell to your largest retailer, and you probably won't be able to use again. You can watch the video, he's fairly candid about it.

It's a massive design that would be larger than a Queen Alien, which is in a fairly small box all things considered. The MonsterArts box is about 20" long. The box for the dio sets are long as well, but then depth is only a few inches, and retails for it is well under that $150 price point. MonsterArts has a larger distribution network in Japan. That thing will be in multiple retail stores there, and then get its own distribution via Bluefin.

Were there pics of the GL/ Pred set or did they just mention it'd be the final exclusive?

I’ve watched the videos from the event and read all the tweets from the beginning. As I said I’ll take their word for it and I’m OK if never see a King Ghidorah from them.

But as I said, there are other avenues for which NECA has released larger more expensive items with sculpts that also have a one-and-done use. Apples and Oranges I know but still, while $150 is a lot, people would pay for it based on the character alone. I just think it’s odd that it’s so impossible that’s all.

I don't know that it was impossible, just less worthwhile with so many other things in the works. Once the largest avenue for release wasn't on board, it made the time and effort less profitable. A few people at the event hit him hard on Ghidorah, but he just said the numbers didn't work out without Target on board.
