NECA at SDCC 2023

Mordachi · 07-20-2023, 01:39 PM

Was hoping for more Halloween stuff, but oh well.
I do like some of the new stuff shown off though. Getting that Murphy and TV series Chucky for sure along with the Ends Myers I've already pre ordered.

Indeed, but completely worthless without a Clarence Boddicker figure to go with them. I'm honestly getting SO TIRED of NECA just doing the absolute bare minimum with their licenses.

I honestly can't believe they haven't announced a new F13 figure in ages, and the Wolf Predator prototype has been sitting in some dusty box on their shelf for years now.

Not surprise, it's their money maker of their main source, but it's nice that they are dipping into other avenues. Was tempted to get the Goliath line as I did love watching that toon..but have too many stuff collecting already.

Elkhorn looks great! And he has the Heartstone!

Shouldn't he have a companion figure, though, since NECA seems to be releasing this line in waves of 2? My personal pick would be Mercion or Charmay.

And Boddicker!

Boddicker, Leon, Steve, Cox, regular and melting man Emil... hell, I'd pick Bobby and Dougie to fully round off the gang.

I'm an easy mark for RoboCop stuff, though. I mean, I'd buy Nikko without a second thought, just make sure she's got her computer and a shrunk down Horizon RoboCop model to hold onto.

The more I look at the DC Toony Terrors, the more I miss NECA's surprise DC 7" action figures...

ThorOdinson123 · 07-20-2023, 04:53 PM

Why would you get Pee Wee Herman for a stupid Toony Classic? Make a 8 inch clothed or ultimate figure of him.

deecee4 · 07-20-2023, 05:12 PM

It looks to me like whoever sculpted that Superman partially referenced the "bad vibrations?" scene from the movie lol.
Also that S symbol is huuuge lol. It looks like it might even be bigger than the S on the old DC Direct Alex Ross Supes.

webz · 07-20-2023, 06:01 PM

My wife squealed with glee when I showed her the Lon Chaney Phantom. It’s a definite buy. The Creature looks great too. Sculptwise Neca has no equal. If only their distribution matched. I feel blessed that I’ve found every Neca product I’ve ever wanted, but sometimes it feels like I won the lottery rather than bought a toy.

Ninjinister · 07-20-2023, 08:10 PM

Finally, Stump Wrestling Turtles! Only took someone 34/35 years to have those come out...

Mordachi · 07-21-2023, 12:39 PM

Wait, didn't they tease a 2nd ultimate Ghostface last year? What happened to that?

Harbinger · 07-21-2023, 01:10 PM

I wish theyd redo the colonial marines and do a future kyle reese aka solid snake from the cover of the old nes metal gear game.

Dr Kain · 07-21-2023, 01:21 PM

Hopefully a Michael 78 gets revealed.

Not a fan of them releasing old Gargoyles figures with new accessories.

Makes it hard for me to want to continue supporting a line I'm already struggling to support.

Harbinger · 07-21-2023, 11:40 PM

Wheres the image of alex murphy? I havent seen it. Also what with the weird looking turtles figs? Are they supposed to be the old 80’s turtles?

Nvmd i found the pics. And holy hell thats awesome! Im gettin a few of ol murph. Hopefully lewis is on the way.

Oh God, YES. Sick and tired of them sitting on the license and releasing nothing but Preds and Xenos.

I guess that could be an option if I really want those face panels: paint the ones I got to be stone versions…

This is like when Hasbro gives us a ton of Wolverines with doofy unmasked faces & a hairstyle that isn’t iconic, & only now after all this time do they have a decent unmasked Wolverine head. I’d rather go thru the trouble of making my own than buying another just for the dammed head. Or Spider-Man finally having foot articulation, but of course only in 2-packs!
Bet the wings still haven’t been improved. It usually happens if I order thru Amazon, but I’ve returned quite a few as their wing socket snaps off inside the back, no real way to fix it.

The Bela Lugosi figure? I've seen both the color and B&W versions at Best Buy and I think the color version also at Target. Both versions are in-stock at BigBadToyStore right now.

Yes. In fact, I posted several pictures of him.

I hate to say it, but NECA has killed my desire to continue getting the Gargoyles line. The wings make it impossible to display them in a detolf and they are taking their sweet time to get figures out that come with Demona and Hudson's folded wings. I know Demona's comes with Xanatos, but despite Hudson being the fourth release, no one has been announced to be the holder of his folded wings yet. I have no room to get anyone else at this moment until I get both of their's. Additionally, something just rubs me the wrong way with their Gargoyles line and I'm not sure what it is.

I have wanted a proper Gargoyles toyline for decades and now that I finally get one, I am having trouble staying interested.

Tracer · 08-03-2023, 04:55 PM

I'm glad to see more Puppet Master. I was getting a little worried. It's been a minute since we heard anything about them. Six Shooter and Jester look great. Hopefully they get to Leech Woman and Decapitron.

Raine24 · 08-04-2023, 11:22 AM

They messed up shipping out my SDCC order (Turtles and Greta shared a tracking number but only Greta was in the box) and days after CS confirmed that the warehouse was mixed up and made a mistake, I got my TMNT3 set today. Greta had excess glue in her hair that I was able to remove without messing anything up, but now I'm scared to release the Turtles from their prison and see if everything's alright.

Anyone else have issues with their SDCC stuff?
