As far as the rest of the announcements go, NECA sometimes gets on these absurd kicks where they'll milk a certain character with multiple incremental releases and ultimately kill the line overall. Previously they did it with Crash and It, and now they're doing it with the friggin' Fugitive Predator, who has been done to death with so many different versions (many of which are still peg warming like mad at Target) that it's almost funny. Just stop.

Yeah, even I wondered at those releases you mentioned and I don't even follow those.

With the welcome relative slowdown in Alien/Predator releases I buy way less NECA than I used to:


The QC issues are either gone or totally baked into some figures

I was never paying the scalper prices on the 'exclusives everybody wants but can't get merry-go-round' for Alien/Predator/T2

There really isn't much more they can do with Alien/Predator even if they get Danny Glover and the like onboard

The Toony Terrors line will only be minimal in my terms and I barely touch the horror or video game stuff


I am however all-in on TMNT! And Kenner T2 if that appears. Hope Dark Fate doesn't affect it any further, cos in the UK at least the Kenner wave peg warmed.
