Yeah...the last time I spoke to them, they hadn't completely given up hope that they would eventually get out their 7" figures, and they had released their 3.75" retro figure as a stop-gap measure, so to speak. But I guess this means that Amok Time's figure is now officially *ahem* dead with no chance of re-animation.

It's a shame, but it's guaranteed that NECA's Herbert West will be 100x better than anything Amok Time would have put out, based on the early sample figures they displayed. The likeness on Amok Time's figure was 'eh' and the articulation was slated to be limited. On the other hand, you know NECA will totally nail this property.

And that brings me to NECA...this announcement is a bit of a shocker, as I believe that people have asked Randy about Re-Animator before and he's always given the "it's too obscure" response. I guess he was just being coy? After all, they made a fucking Chop Top figure, lol.

Anyway, this is fantastic news. I'm a huge Re-Animator/Herbert West/Jeffrey Combs fan, and with NECA doing the figures, you know they'll be amazing. I can't wait!!

Wrote my response before I read this...still excited and will still buy the hell out of them, but I hope that this line sells well enough to perhaps lead to regular 7" figures as well.
