Does anyone know if the Dimension X figures will make to general retail somehow or will they suffer the same “convention only" disease?

the ralph macchio head sculpt looks like hillary swank, which is really meta.

Eeh. Kinda bummed/underwhelmed that it's the Michael Myers from the new movie and not the original.

Nice-looking figure, though.

En Sabah Nerd · 07-19-2018, 10:54 AM

For me new Michael looks close enough to old Michael so I'm taking it.

A "mood" based on no facts whatsoever.

And I just prefer the "clean" look of the original mask. This looks too much like the Rob Zombie version.

I dunno about hard facts but there were plenty of instances of people pleading on the NECA Twitter for a new Myers and them saying it was impossible

Big question is the alternate head - will it be more battle damaged/bloody or will it be cleaner. Can’t wait to see more

The movie has yet to be released so it could be various heads. It could be a battle damage head or even a reavealed head if that happens in the movie.

Ace Ventura! If he gets approved, I hope they have different heads for him. Needs his sunglasses wearing, teeth grinning look.

SpasticPlastic · 07-19-2018, 02:18 PM

BBTS has Myers up for preorder and it's hard to tell, but the second head definitely looks more classic to me.

9000 HAL Robots · 07-19-2018, 03:07 PM

Very excited to see Neca get the license for the new Halloween Michael! They really put out some amazing and fun surprises this year. Love those guys.

I couldnt agree more. That is definitely throwback mask. I love it count me in. Now I have to decide whether to pre order or see how the Target stocking goes.

Dam....no sign of any DC/darkhorse crossover figures.

I believe they are still stuck in licensing hell.

NECA for the SDCC win.

Broken Tusk, Machiko, Ahab and Enforcer Predator are sure buy - if they finally hit retail, that is. My pre-orders are now over one year old...

Nice surprises again this year. Kenner Drake is cool though I'll be waiting for the "official" Aliens movie version that is sure to come out eventually

I dare say if we're getting this version of drake that the movie one is unlikely (same with Apone). If we were getting the movie versions the kenner ones would have the actors likeness just like Ripley and Vasquez.

He’s also seemingly wearing a Terminator’s face as a codpiece.

They’ll need to make a Kenner Hicks to have the tooling for the former, or vice-versa (and I certainly hope Kenner Apone leads to Kenner Hudson at some point in the very near future).

There’s definitely been some good stuff on view, but without any new (movie) Colonial Marines, it still feels like a bit of a fail to me...

I don’t think that logic necessarily applies. So far as I know, Mark Rolson, unlike Al Matthews, seems very enthused about the idea of an action figure of his character.

Ezilla82 · 07-20-2018, 05:05 AM

Nice to see that NECA got the Halloween license after right, 11 years or so. But anyways I like to see NECA do a Retro Clothed/Mego Style original Michael Myers and the new sequel version, too.

MegaPrime33 · 07-20-2018, 05:17 AM

I wonder when they will show Shredder.

Diamond · 07-20-2018, 06:03 AM

Finally, an atreus figure. Really excited to pick up the two pack, I’ll buy kratos twice, I don’t care.
