I agree but it's cheaper for them as there's less tooling involved as they can just re-use the same body type and focus on the head sculpt, sometimes the hands and any other accessories as well as all the fabrics that go with it.

The 7" figures will always be my bread and butter... but sometimes NECA can put out some really nice megos that just work better with the fabrics. Sack head Jason, Ghostface and Snake Plissken to name a few, at least in my eyes, work really well with the retro format. Unfortunately Snake didn't sell brilliantly so there's slim chance of a 7" version happening according to their twitter.

I imagine their mego Leatherface must have sold well enough for them to be able to do the ultimate Leatherface which looks to have complete new tooling on almost every part (and to be honest, looking at pics and videos of the ultimate version, the retro version really pales in comparison). Very excited to get mine in the next week or so when they come in stock.
