Back at SDCC last year, another company called Icon Heroes had this displayed in their booth, indicating they were doing their own Karate Kid line and that it would be in the 6" plastic scale that many fans prefer. Has anybody seen any updates on that? The card says "4th quarter 2019", which is still far away. I hope they are still in the works and that we might see prototypes on display at Toy Fair next month. I'll definitely wait and get these instead of NECA's dumb MEGO figures.

Comments like this drive me crazy! There are fans of the retro line, you need to accept that. Bashing it because you don’t like it means nothing, it’s just annoying at this point. The POTA and Escape from NY were really good figures! Even a non collector of the retro line will tell you that. They’re cheaper to make for NECA, and some licenses don’t sell as well as others. So it’s either this, or nothing else. Sometimes the money from these will lead to ultimate versions. Also, don’t try and adjust the focus to a different brand, and call NECA’s figures dumb. That’s ridiculous! I’m not an admin here, but I would definitely boot that comment. I mean, if you don’t like the figures, that’s understandable, but stay on subject.
