Next year is the 40th anniversary of The Thing and they're definitely saving some stuff to ship next year too. Sounds like they're going to do a lot.

Super Shredder - I'm not sure what the game is here. Walmart didn't sell it before, what's changed? Nice for people who could get it before or didn't want to be $50 to $60 Neca preorder but if its the same situation as before then who cares?

Casey Jones, I don't know what went down there for why it wasn't unmasked the first time. Maybe someone just dropped the likeness ball that even the actor was confused.

I'd like to get it and just sell the two pack but again if it's a Walmart exclusive, it's not for sell in the majority of the US.

TMNT2 Shredder looks nice.

I wish NECA would team back up with Gamestop or do more with BBTS with the TMNT movie figures.


I don't mind the repaints of Flash G, Phantom, and Ming. Again....Walmart exclusives(Target and co must not want to deal with them). Otherwise they look nice. Clearly they didn't want to purchase likeness rights. Sorta okay with that but I understand.

I hope they address the paint on the hinges. I got flesh colored paint chips all over the place. Rather they just not paint them if they wont make them the flesh tone of the characters.

Where the other guys though?


Gargoyles

Thailog made perfect sense. I'm not surprised they went with his first appearance. His armored form would be a totally different mold. You know people would ask for the first form anyway. I'd be excited to see the Mecha/Iron Gargoyles down the line.



So yeah I like this showing but you can't tell I'm sour on NECA being BFF's with Walmart. So much stuff never showing up in my city due to that.

As far as Casey Jones goes, the actor was approached and said no to doing the likeness. It really wasn't until Judith Hoag contacted him and convinced him to do the figure were they able to secure his likeness, so it was the actor not NECA.

It sucks for Wal-Mart but basically NECA has put online almost all of the movie figures at some point to buy direct from them.
