Not going to lie...while I'm glad for all of you who missed out on the original releases, seeing this announcement kinda makes me feel bittersweet. It renders all of the time, money and hard work I put into hunting these down feel for naught, especially when during that time, there simply weren't as many ways to get a hold of NECA items as there is now. This also as well kills whatever value they might have had (not that I ever had intention of re-selling these. For many of them, the glue started to peel off the card long ago, until I finally decided to just open all of them...)

It's cool for those of you who came late to the party, or missed out on one or two of these guys (I had a BITCH of a time finding Scout back in the day, and paid a pretty penny for him on Ebay) but I can't help but feel like this is a middle finger from NECA to all of us who have been there since the beginning.

I personally would have rather seen more original creations like the upcoming Alpha Predator, or maybe a focus on trying to finally get a new Wolf done. I would have even welcomed redone Super-Predators (since they were clearly inferior articulation wise to even the first releases of the Lost Tribe) but this announcement...I can't say I'm completely excited about it 100 percent.

These guys have long been requested though...so to those of you who have been pining for them...congrats!
