My favorite time of year!

Holy cow, look at all those PREDATORS!

Me trying to find the Ultimate Wolf in the Predator visual guide:

PREDATOR(S)!!!..
You Never Think (I did not)...
NECA made this many...

Wish NECA would make...
The "Dutch Recuse Team"!!!

A 7 Fig Set....
With all the trimmings...

I would "Pay" for that ;^)

Hoping for a new Flash Gordon/Original Heroes reveal.

I guess they have Garax with the Mattel homage figures because he's toy specific. Hope they flesh out the line(s) with more characters like Aura,Metal Men,Thun, etc. Don't think we need anymore Flash & Ming variations...though a shadow Flash as a con exclusive would be just fine.

I have no idea who 90% of those figures are. Ming the Merciless? Mandrake the Magician? The only reason I think these are actual characters is because I have heard of The Phantom and Flash Gordon before. I also see a serious lack of female characters. Was it really necessary to have llike 4 different versions of Ming and Flash?

I'm excited to see the gaming turtles. Hopefully the handful that have not seen the light of day have not been canceled.

Still debating if I need the Bride in my collection or not.

I'm definitely going to get the Bride, she looks great.

Interesting that the black and white Dracula is a complete costume variant and not just a simple repaint of the color Dracula. He's got a totally different sculpted shirt/vest/tie, plus white lining inside his cape, and the tease from last October shows he comes with a top hat too. I guess this means no straight black and white version of the regular Dracula, or vice versa no color version of the Carfax Abbey top hat Dracula.

I love the Bride figure and the creepy face on the London After Midnight Chaney figure is perfect. Nosferatu is an amazing surprise. I wonder how many people are cancelling their preorder for the Super 7 Ultimate Nosferatu now in favor of getting this one instead.

Hopefully in 2023 we'll FINALLY see what plans NECA has for the Hammer Horror license. We've been waiting over TWO years now ever since they first announced it.

Bring on the B&W Universals... 'Gotta catch'em all!"

The other reveals where pretty much guaranteed but they look great. The real surprises and also absolute pickups are that Nosferatu and the London After Midnight vampire. I really hope they give him his top hat. I am contemplating cancelling the Super7 Ultimate but I most likely won't because I still love Count Orlock too much. In fact I'll probably double down and get that one as well as both versions of NECA's.

I didn't know they rereleased the comic turtles.

If you mean the ones on the bottom right, they haven't yet. Quite a few figures on both of those have yet to be announced even. Those ones have been teased before though.

I was going to say! I admit I'm not a NECA TMNT collector, but I do check the NECA section at Target and I used to collect the original TMNT line, but I've honestly never seen 1/2 - 1/3 of the stuff shown on the posters!

Lot of unannounced TMNT there. Looks like comic April is getting a re-release?

What I don't see is an Ultimate Cartoon April, though. Come on, NECA< I'm tired of that bobblehead on my shelf.

Well, we're getting warmer... sort of.

Tsk-tsk. They forgot the "Bambi Burster."

As Mad Hatter pointed out on his Youtube channel, the cartoon Genghis Frog and Napoleon Bonafrog in this checklist have alternate heads that didn't actually come with them when they were released. Also the Human version of Baxter Stockman here has a different headsculpt than the one we got. The Baxter that was released has a lopsided closed mouth, and the one pictured in this checklist has an open mouth like he's laughing.

Going back to the TMNT Universal Monsters mashup checklist, I recall NECA originally claiming they'd be doing 8 figures for that line, and so far we only have 7 on this list. I'm guessing a Shredder Dracula will be the 8th later in 2023?
