Seriously? That Snake figure was great (I have it myself) and it didn't sell well? Shit. Was that the end of the cult stuff experiment, or are more tests coming?

And if Chop Top is a horror test, that has me worried. I know Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 has its fans, but overall it's not a popular film. At all. There are plenty of Sid Haig/Spaulding fans out there, but if Snake didn't sell there's no way Chop Top will.

Still, I have to applaud NECA for occasionally going out on a limb to test unusual ideas for their fans. I hope it works out. I'd love to see a mego Herbert West figure from them, as the announced 7-inch Re-Animator figures by Amok Time appear to be trapped forever in development hell.
