IT (2017) Pennywise Ultimate Figure by NECA - Toyark Photo Shoot

[SpasticPlastic]

Awesome shots! I was waiting for these, as I was wondering about the paint on the heads. I've seen a couple of reviews where the red lines only go up about 2/3rds of the way to the eyes from the mouth. Glad to see it's not a widespread problem. I ordered 3 of them and just received a shipping notification. Cannot wait to get them.

Thanks man. Yeah, I was worried myself, as Pennywise had real precise and sharp lines in the movie and didn't know if that would translate here. But it's probably one of their best painted figures since the Ash vs Evil Dead releases.

Wow! Killer photos! Dude, this is an insane figure!
I was torn between who to order from NECA directly, Jason or Pennywise. I really want a nicely painted Pennywise, so I ended up ordering the Ultimate Part 2 Jason. I'll pick up Pennywise soon as I see one in person. I'm hoping Gamestop will have IT.

Thanks man. I think you'll really enjoy this one.

I keep seeing things pop up for an "exclusive" Pennywise at GameStop, but it's only via in-store pre-orders. Either way, they will be carrying a bunch of NECA stuff. They've been loading up some pre-orders lately.

Interesting, I'll have to go ask them about preordering an exclusive version, any word on what the difference will be?

Not sure yet. People have been asking NECA just about every day, but Randy hasn't responded on Twitter, and no response on FB either. May be something that's revealed at SDCC.

In-store only? Yikes. There's only one GameStop by me and it's in a mall that is soon to be torn down.

I actually saw the Gordon Freeman re-release this week at my local Gamestop, excited to hear about the exclusive Pennywise!

I ordered one of the exclusives the other day
I heard about it last week, so I went in and asked about ordering a Pennywise figure. The girl at Gamestop was like "you want the exclusive?"
It was $36, so I would imagine it's a little different. Either way I want both, so I'll check their tomorrow and see if they have this one. I bought Crash there last week as well. If Gamestop not only carries NECA, but also gets them early, I'll be renewing my membership.

Yeah I'm definitely looking to at least get one of each but I'll probably get 2 of each, this is an instant classic, glad I just renewed my membership.

So I ordered Pennywise off Amazon last night from Amazon itself (not a 3rd party seller) and even used my prime account, but it's saying he'll ship within "1 to 3 months" and that the expected delivery date is from September 3rd to October 5th... Should I be worried? Longest I've ever had to wait for a package from Amazon was about a week, can't imagine why it'd take 2 months now! I thought it might be backordered but I can't see anything noting that on the page

I would definitely cancel that and order from another outlet if possible.

Just did, hopefully he's available in larger numbers in other outlets since it seems scalpers are hoarding them at the moment :P

Just this morning I cancelled my preorder on Amazon for Pennywise, then I went into a local Gamestop and they had the exclusive bloody version so I nabbed it! It's a decent figure, but for 35ish bucks I have some complaints:

One less head than the regular version (which is 28ish at retail)

The balloon string doesn't fit in the hole in his hand at all and I don't wanna ruin the rubber coating on the wire forcing it

One less set of hands too

I'm just glad to have a Pennywise, but if this was more in line with regular retail prices I'd be happy (I understand that tooling a new arm accessory probably drove costs up a little)

Also, GameStop tends to be higher priced than standard retail in general for collectibles. At least until those items go on clearance.
