NECA is a small company with limited means, I get it. But they clearly have zero idea how to maximize their lines since they buy licenses and do almost nothing with them but repaints and re-releases. NECA used to be exciting. Now they're just boring as fuck.

Yup. The first think I thought of when I saw those figures was that they looked like cheap Hong Kong knock-offs of legit Flash Gordon movie figures. Just a stupid, pointless thing for NECA to do

Exactly. EXACTLY.

Randy is known for being a big fan of the FG movie so most likely that was a passion project. It's a homage...no different than mythic legions having characters done up in motu colors. And, I think, it's supposed to be a con exclusive anyway.
