[Poison Shadow]

Silent Hills is definitely highly anticipated.

I love most of NECA's RE efforts, even if the early ones were basically statues with some wonky bodily proportions. The Palisades Resident Evil action figures were superior, though - at least in terms of their monsters. I only have their RE1 Tyrant and the RE2 Mr. X, but they are both incredibly high quality and VERY heavy pieces. Hell, Toybiz even did okay with their early attempts as well - their transforming Birkin and Ivy figures are pretty compatible with the NECA and Palisades items on my shelf. Their humans and zombies are even the same scale as the Walking Dead action figures.

Still, all of that somehow doesn't seem like it's enough. Resident Evil is my favorite game series, though. NECA stopped making use of their RE license just when they were getting it right with RE5 Chris & Sheva. A Wesker with that level of articulation would have been amazing.

Ideally some Evil Within toys would be the same scale as NECA's. They'd fit right in on my Resident Evil shelf that way. I just hope someone like Square Enix aren't the ones who end up doing it. Their Play Arts prices are too high, proportions are usually off and I've never liked the way the joints look. Plus there's the import item cost, like you mentioned.
