Overall NECA had a good showing. Here are my thoughts:

The New Assassin Predator is just a repaint which is kind of frustrating. Why bother making his in his non-upgraded form if you're not going to retool the figure to have normal predator skin. Now it's just a yellow armored assassin. The LED Fugitive will likely be an SDCC exclusive so... I guess that's alright. I also wish we were getting an ultimate version of the Lost/Borg Predator as he appeared in the movie, but I can live the battle armor version too.

Defenders of Tomorrow is an awesome throwback line and a great reuse of their Superman/ Batman Predator vs Alien 2 Pack molds, but I don't really see these selling huge numbers... I would have preferred NECA acquire "The Boys" license, comic or TV Show over this and they probably could have still re-used the Superman/ Batman/ Green Lantern sculpts if they went the comic route and The Boys right now is infinitely more popular than DOE, but alas...

I would have flipped if instead of a retro cloth Jaws line they just made a 7in scaled articulated Bruce. I bet Bruce would sell more than the human characters any day of the week, plus we could all fit a great white shark in our collections somehow.

The Cartoon and Movie TMNT figures are great, but I think the luster has worn off. After the first movie figures and the initial cartoon releases, not to mention the headaches with distribution and trying to acquire a whole set I'm a bit burned out. I see them and I'm like 'that looks neat,' but other than that I feel nothing.

NECA officially revealing Ash and figure with the likeness of Kane is just gravy at this point. Nothing to complain about there. They will go nicely with Brett and Parker. The Albino and Bloody variant in an anniversary line to me are kind of meh... at this point. Now their is just... now what could the mystery 9th figure be... you think NECA would just re-release Lambert? Hmm...

Marty Mcfly, Ultimate Ghostface and the New Ultimate lost Predators are all nice... Still waiting on Predator 2 30th Anniversary Detective Harrigan reveal.

Those are my thoughts.
