Perfect. Absolutely perfect. Likeness, accessories, everything. I can't wait!

Tomax 02-15-2018 06:03 PM

Man I can't wait for this. I'm not the hugest fan of the NECA Mego style figures, I do love the packaging, mainly I love their choices for figures for the line, this is no exception. Cult classics like this are hard to beat and we don't get many figures. Now NECA needs to do a Buckaroo Bonzai and a Jack Burton like this.

Black Arbor 06-20-2018 12:39 PM

Wow I sincerely hope it's just the photo angle because that head looks nothing like the prototype

Yeah, that pic has me a little worried as well. Like you said, hopefully it's just the angle.

BTW, what is that accessory in the package next to Herbert's head? It's white and has something that looks like a pencil coming out of the top of it. *EDIT* Never mind, it's his pocket protector, lol.

adcatalano 06-20-2018 06:25 PM

The packaged head is totally different from the one on display at Toy Fair. Def a bummer

VashTS 06-20-2018 06:48 PM

I JUST WANT ANYTHING REANIMATOR!

Herbert West looks okay, and it is VERY rare when NECA doesn't nail a head sculpt.

I will assume it's the angle...but I really wouldn't care...this will go great with my other cloth figures.

These figures have grown on me immensely. I am really liking the Figures Toy Company and Biff cloth figures. Neca is very good and just happy to have Herbert West, FINALLY.

Now give me some Killer Klowns and I'd be happy happy joy joy.

It’s even different from the pics on the back of the package. The pics have a closed mouth and the actual fig is open...ish.

NECA Re-Animator - Herbert West 8-Inch Scale Figure Available Now - The Toyark - News

Black Arbor 07-09-2018 06:10 AM

Man this really saddens me, I was pretty excited to get this but after looking at the prototype head and the packaged product I can tell something went wrong in production (the hair isn't even the same shape and he looks like a random Asian guy to me) I know the previous license holder for Re-Animator was notoriously difficult to work with, as is Jeffrey Combs I believe, but I cannot believe they signed off on this when the prototype looked infinitely better...

NoseofNicko 07-15-2018 09:08 PM

So does anyone have it? If so, does it look better than in the packaging picture? I hope so since I ordered it and should get it next week.

I picked up the good doctor today (the collectible store by me got them in yesterday). In-hand, it clearly IS the same sculpt as the preview pics. The difference is that of an in-house, hand-painted prototype vs. a mass-produced retail paintjob. No, it certainly does NOT look as good as the previews, but once you get Herb out of the packaging and get a closer look at the head sculpt, it looks A LOT better than the initial packaging shots made it out to be. The likeness of Jeffrey Combs is good, even with the slightly downgraded paintjob, as is the likeness of David Gale (Dr. Hill).

I had a whole case to choose from and the paint varied WILDLY from figure to figure, with lots of slop and random scratches on the face paint and hair. If you have the ability, I'd highly recommend buying this retail like I did so you can pick out a good one...overall, I'm quite satisfied with the paintjob on the one I got, but I had to dig through some bad ones to find it. Some of the figures had 5 o'clock shadow (why? West was always clean-shaven in the movies) that looked like it was applied by a spastic kindergartner with a magic marker.

But once I found a "good" one, I was happy. The figure's outfit is well-done (NECA's typical retro-style cheesiness), the articulation is great (again, typical of their retro figures), the joints very sturdy, and the accessories...holy geez. He's got everything a Herbert West figure could need. He comes with a syringe, a bottle of reagent, Rufus the cat, that plagiarist Dr. Hill's severed head, an autopsy tray, and the shovel West used to decapitate Dr. Hill. I didn't bother taking a pic of the shovel, because...well, it's a shovel, which is impossible to fuck up. But all the other accessories are in the pics below, and they kick ass.

Overall, Dr. West is a very good figure (provided you can hand-pick yours..if you're ordering from the web I feel kinda sorry for you) with an amazing assortment of accessories. Plus, it's fucking Re-Animator...for that reason alone it's a must-buy for any serious horror fan.

"West. Herbert West."

I had to order online, since I have no store within 2.5 hours now that will carry stuff like this. I sure hope mine isn't awful.

Got mine today. Looks better straight on than at an angle. Paint app is a bit messy, but viewing it displayed a couple feet away looks pretty solid

Dolemite 07-24-2018 06:26 AM

Nice, but that scratch mark on the right cheek would piss me off.
