The figure itself then is another hit from NECA. The sculpt is on point and paired with the well applied paint it really captures the scaly, leathery details of the creatures from the original movie. Some of the joints were a bit stiff out of the box but nothing so bad that it felt like it would break getting it free, not like the old days. Awesome figure and I eagerly await Stripe who should be arriving sometime next week.



Next up is the Pale Man. Pan's Labyrinth is one of my all-time favorite films, the world that Guillermo Del Toro crafted in that movie was just so eerie and macabre while still having its own beauty of the fantastical kind. Before NECA announced their GDT series I always thought the chances of getting figures of those creatures was just a far off pipe-dream of mine. Except now NECA did it, and so it's a dream come true for me. This thing is perfect, just a masterpiece in my books. All of the articulation was moving right out of the box with no fuss whatsoever while still retaining a good level of tightness. He can sit or stand (yes he can stand on his own), the torso has multiple ball-joint type joints, the neck then also has multiple ball-joints, and the arms are full of articulation. For a figure of a bony stick man he's surprisingly well put together. I'm not sure I can praise the sculpt and paint work enough on this figure. It's almost haunting to look at like he crawled his way out of the damn screen. The throne came out really impressive for a chair. The sculpt and paint really do lend it the appearance of carved wood and the padding on the seat and back are nice, even the bottom is sculpted which just shows dedication. He also includes the plate with his eyeballs, it's well done and I'd rather have it included than not so it's really just extra gravy. I love this thing so much that I just took the time to write out all of this. I don't think NECA will see this post but goddammit I gotta say thank you so much for making this happen. The Faun can't come soon enough.

Good stuff and read.
