you are still insane.. this is something EVERYONE has been wanting ever since we saw the mold.. they figured out a way to get it to us even though they themselves didn't think it was possible.. and best yet is that it's at an EXTREMELY reasonable price.. seriously.. just about everything you buy on the internet has shipping costs.. so.. you're really only paying $5 more.. but you're also getting the DVD.. i seriously don't even see how that can be a complaint.

if you want to complain.. go complain to mattel for sitting on their asses and not giving the fans what they want.. neca has heard the fans and has done what they could to get this product into their hands. what's to complain about?.. you can't buy it in stores? oh well.. i love transformers masterpiece figures.. am i NOT going to buy them because i can't get them in stores? of course not. that's just silly.. unbelievably silly.

i wish neca had free range to produce batman figures. i'd kill for 7" neca versions of the nicholson joker.. catwoman.. penguin .. and i also wouldn't mind neca versions of the nolan trilogy characters. hell.. while they're at it.. with the upcoming predator vehicle coming soon, they could easily capitalize on both the burton batmobile and the nolan batmobile and give us scaled versions of those. i'm sure PLENTY of people would want it. as it is now our only option is the hot toys versions.. and those are ridiculously pricey for the average fan.

mattel could easily produce scaled versions of these vehicles, i mean, 3.75" figures are the perfect size for scaled vehicles.. but they won't.

and we've seen with the movie masters figures. they put minimal effort into those figures. the head sculpts are subpar, and they just come off as being cheap.. especially for $19.99.. for that price point neca would do a MUCH better job.

there's nothing more annoying than when a company clearly squanders a great license. especially when another company has proven that they can do a better job at an equal price point.

so.. like i said, blame mattel.. but don't poo poo this release because it can't be sold in stores (for now). neca seems to be one of the few companies that actually listen to their fans.
