A Demogorgon is also in the works:

This is pretty cool but I don’t get why these aren't Figuarts.

Hopper looks good, but doesn't appear to come with anything. $65 isn't bad, but for a bare bones figure that's not good either.

I would be interested in the demogorgon, I never bought the McFarlane one.

That doesn't look anything like Hopper. The face looks bad, the Red Guardian ML had a better face...

Is Stranger Things still popular?

Wonder the same thing...one of the few properties I dont care to have figures from. Much like I'm noticing lately with Bandai SHF, their sculptors arent getting the eye and brow proportions right, his eyes are a tad bit big, "buggy" eyed.

Looks like John C. Reilly to me lol. I liked Stranger Things S3 but it wasn't quite as good as S2. I hear they may end it with 4 or 5 seasons at most. Define "popular"? I'm not sure how you calculate ratings for streaming channels, at least publicly. I'm sure Netflix will know when to pull the plug.

And how does Bandai justify charging twice as much as NECA for a figure?

Way more articulation (so more pieces to mold, higher assembly time, etc.) and higher quality plastic.

I'm just thinking in the sense that when seasons 1 and 2 were coming out all I heard was Stranger Things this and Stranger Things that, and I've heard nary a peep about seasons 3 and 4 (to be honest with you, I didn't even know there was a season 4!)

I liked S3 way more than S2, I haven't revisited S2 since it came out.

lol are you new around here? Anything by Bandai will basically be $60+.

IMO season 3 saved Stranger Things... season 2 was a huge letdown and its popularity took a giant nose dive, but then Season 3 was good and people started liking it again. Also Millie Bobby Brown is becoming a bigger star... her Enola Holmes movie on Netflix was really popular. I guess that is part of the problem though... in Season 1 all the characters were popular... now pretty much only Eleven and Steve and maybe Ethan Hawke's daughter are popular.

I thought for a second this was a Shining Jack Nicholson figure. Doesn't quite capture the likeness. The upcoming Demagorgon looks pretty cool.
I really liked season 1. Season 2 felt like a big step down for me even though many enjoyed it. Season 3 was a little better but still didn't touch the originality of the first season. Season 4 should be out in 2021.
