The video game Godzilla (which I was really hyped for...) was something of a let down, while I was hoping the video game Gremlins would be Gizmo instead of Mohawk. I do like the pixelated pattern for the Zilla, but it just looks and feels off to me.

The John Matrix figure had me kinda shrugging my shoulders...it's pretty much a straight up Predator Jungle Patrol Dutch (I.E. figure making on the cheap) repaint. Now, if they had done a Ben Richards (Arnold from "The Running Man") figure, with a subsequent line of all the stalkers, I would have mailed NECA my wallet. No new Friday the 13th, Robocop (could we at least get a Clarence Boddicker, Ann Lewis, or Robocop 2? I wouldn't mind seeing NECA take on the rebooted Robocop either, assuming they could get the license from Jada Toys.) and no showing of the upcoming Kenner Aliens wave kinda left me feeling blah about their display this year. Better luck next year I guess...

Like most fans, NECA has flat out stated their disgust with the Robocop remake. Zero interest in pursuing that idea. I have to agree the NES Godzilla doesn't do it for me.
