The figures are really great.

Can't wait for the whole gang. Especially Billy

What on Earth does he have against MacReady? Is it an actual personal dislike of the character and the Thing in general, or is it just a rights issue?

I'm pretty sure Randy has expressed his appreciation of the film. He has stated it's not marketable but given some of their other recent decisions (ignoring peculiar exclusives) it seems like they should give it a shot unless the rights really are the issue.

Awesome to add an Elite Special Forces Rescue Team member next to Major Dutch Schaefer!
I didn't think NECA would do it after all these years of having trouble with getting some of the actor's likenesses.
I will definitely try to pick him up!

I still have hopes for getting more team members!
Especially Dillon and Billy!
I picked up an extra Apollo Creed to make a custom Dillon but haven't started it because I still have my hopes up...

This is pretty much how I rate the team in order of importance for the display shelf. The whole team combined would be awesome however!

Elite Special Forces Rescue Team

1. Team Leader & US Army Major: Dutch Schaefer (Arnold Schwarzenegger)
2. CIA Operative & Former Commando: Al Dillon (Carl Weathers)
3. Tracker: Billy Sole (Sonny Landham)
4. Gunner: Blain Cooper (Jesse "The Body" Ventura)
5. Medic: Mac Elliot (Bill Duke)
6. Radio Operator: Rick Hawkins (Shane Black)
7. Explosives Expert: Jorge "Poncho" RamÃ*rez (Richard Chaves)

I wish they were more open-minded about plainclothes characters.

Mac was the medic?

Preordered Hawkins yesterday.

I was frustrated about not getting the TMNT set Thursday. After cooling off I finally ordered 45 minutes later because it was foolish to let Hawkins go and I would regret it later. He was easy to order. There were about 90+ left after I placed my order.
I didn't want to wait till the last day so I could focus on the TMNT set with Hawkins already ordered.
