They say that about all the exclusives. It builds excitement. Toy molds are expensive, so it’s certain the John mold will be released in some fashion in the future, be it a John only figure, or a terminator/John two pack, or something. Randy is not the issue. He’s promoting his product. That’s what you do, drum up excitement. How excited would people be at comic con to stand in line 4 hours if it was announced it’d be available w/o motorcycle for $24 at Target in 6 months?

Randy is a total bullshit artist. He's said many times that certain figures/exclusives would never be released at retail and then *POOF* there they are!
If this turns out to be true about John, however, that's a massive dick move. They advertised him on retail packaging and everything. |

Yeah I have no reason to believe he WON'T be coming to mass retail but I hate that mind-f**kery NECA does...

It says 3 headsculpts, but the packaging shot just shows 2. I sure hope it's only 2, because that's the limit on how many I can buy.

Damn, that's a really good looking Supes figure. And a fabric cape! NECA is killing me with their exclusives this year. This makes three I want, and there are still more reveals.

Whelp, was really hoping I could skip this year's mad rush online for a NECA exclusive but I'm gonna need that Superman/Alien two-pack (and the Batman/Predator one they'll no doubt announce last).

Oh, I was basing on the "product" pic. I guess the small heat vision piece is interchangeable.

Love the soft goods cape on Superman, but don't like the ab joint cut. Very Marvel Legends. May just stick with my DC Direct Justice League of America Superman.

Yeeesh, just when I thought I could skip the sale... Anyone have any tips to beat the rush? Can you pre-login to Paypal? Is there a site I can keep open on my computer and just refresh til they're available?

I tweeted to ask if those awesome purple highlights were painted on the Alien (or just lighting), but I haven't gotten a response yet. It looks killer.

Batman/Predator's the one I've been waiting for the longest and want the most. The blood-stained bat's pretty epic.
Guessing the NYCC exclusives will be Batman/Joker Alien and.. Green Lantern/Alien? Last edited by Kayman26; 05-31-2019 at 01:27 PM.. |

Looks like NECA's now saying the two DH/DC 2-packs will only be sold as a $120 bundle online. They'll be sold separately for $60 each at SDCC.
Quote:
For those looking to purchase the DC Comics/Dark Horse Comics figures during our online Pre-sale, the Superman vs Alien and Batman vs Predator 2-Packs will ONLY be available as a bundle for $120.
If you are attending #SDCC in July, the 2-Packs can be purchased separately at our booth(#3145) for $60. |

I wish they stuck more closely to the simple, original Kubert design for Batman's armor (basically just helmet, pauldrons and metal gauntlets added to a regular Batsuit painted silver), but what looks fantastic on paper might be visually boring in execution. No doubt, that's what motivated NECA to improvise by adding all the extra details around the torso and legs especially, the goal being to produce a more visually interesting product. Also, it might have been top heavy. (Kudos to NECA for a fantastic job with the cape and helmet.)
The predator looks great. Those colors are perfect. I'll buy regardless, as a tribute to one of the best comics ever. Wish Gibbons and the Kuberts would revisit this crossover. Edit: Uh oh, they can't be purchased separately outside SDCC? So much for that. Last edited by Skoob; 05-31-2019 at 02:14 PM.. |
