I agree with this 100%. I have every Movie Maniacs figure up until the last Texas Chainsaw wave. They were amazing for their time, but figures of the same characters that have come out afterwards are superior in almost every way. The stuff NECA is producing blows them out of the water.

That said, I will absolutely welcome a new Movie Maniacs line with open arms. I will never turn down more horror toys. And McFarlane did give us some oddball character selection. Norman Bates, Pumkinhead, and (as Dolemite mentions) The Thing. Looking forward to more characters like that.
