Honestly I'd rather they stop picking up stupid licenses like this and Valerian, save up their licensing budget and grab something they've been wanting to do for years but was too expensive to get the rights to. I'd be willing to see fewer releases if it meant more of what we actually request, and I can't imagine I'm the only one!

Really? The Nun?!

Can’t wait...

They make some bizarre choices. Their scattergun approach can work out for the best, when they do incredible niche stuff, but licensing issues aside, there’s no real logic at work.

As you say, Valerian was an awful licence to go for. As much as I loved the new Blade Runner, I doubt those figures sold well either (oh yeah, I’m crying out for an old man Dekker). Essentially they’re gambling on one of these mediocre films being a smash hit. They have a solid market audience that lap up Jason, Alien, Predator, NoES, and probably Gremlins stuff. Focus on that!

I’ve said before that I think Buffy by NECA would be incredible. Twin Peaks too. I’ve pretty much given up on The Thing and BTiLC as possibilities.

I love NECA. They’ve given me some incredible stuff that I never expected, but I’ve not been impressed by their new licenses. Mass Effect! Give me that! Who the hell is buying The Nun figures?
