NECA Bill and Ted Figures

dude, if this is anything like most of the other retro figures we'll get plastic counter parts eventually, and man does that make me happy.

I dunno, if they make it as a mego first then it doesn't seem to reach normal action figure status unless it's a part of a franchise that they're already doing. We aren't getting a regular Snake Plissken because the mego one didn't sell well enough apparently (from what I remember hearing, don't quote me on that), so one does not necessarily lead to the other. Unless they're about to announce a regular Snake, who knows, they've been on a roll with great reveals recently.

Yeah, Randy's had said on Twitter that the Mego Snake Plissken underperformed compared to other Mego's. I still see Snake in stores at times (along with Taylor and the Mego Apes).

Just as we're talking about Snake, Randy posted this.

No regular Snake.

En Sabah Nerd 10-30-2015 08:39 AM
It still stings. I get that doing them as a mego first to test the waters is less costly since there isn't as much new tooling/sculpting but I still feel like maybe it would have sold better if it was a regular figure since that's what most people initially wanted, but then again that might not have sold that well since it isn't exactly a high profile license.

Some licenses, like Escape From NY, may have worked better if timed with a special edition blu-ray release or something of the sorts. Lining it up with an anniversary or a bit of fan fare from the cult film community may have also helped.

Just like Home Alone, I bet the sculpts on these will be fantastic. I just have no interest in Mego style figures.

Phantomcrow 10-30-2015 10:17 AM
Same here , No care for the Mego style stuff. If NECA would make a standard figure of Bill and Ted and the Booth I would jump on that in a heartbeat.

Dragasses 10-30-2015 05:38 PM
you all have made me sad with all your "logic."

I was wandering what happened to snake…sad emoticon.

I come from the future and I can tell you that these figures will turn out to be most excellent!

Yeah, they're horrible. NECA done fucked up.

Kamatayan 09-01-2016 11:22 AM
The face sculpt screw up is genuinely hilarious. They looked more stoned than usual. Makes you wonder if the movies were just one huge acid trip.

Dolemite 09-01-2016 11:51 AM
I'm honestly not sure which one is worse. Bill looks like a sleepy 90 year-old man and Ted looks like the bastard lovechild of John Leguizamo and the dude who played Kylo Ren.

which is odd, because alex winter always looks a tiny bit bug-eyed.

he looks like he's on his way to pleasure island.

I guess there goes my chance to see these outside of the mego style.
