Serious, two repaints, that sucks. Great job on Ghostface and Crepper, but Ash is already not the best Fig in this line and Michael in deeper blue with a little blood on the mask, that are variants, maybe good as SDCC exclusives, but not as new entrys. I really like Toony Terrors, but that is a great disappointment.

Yup. Love the 2 new figures. Don’t need repaints in the regular series. Should have been exclusives or chase figures.

I'm wondering if it's because they're running out of new horror characters to make (that would actually sell!)

Alien and Predator would be nice, or maybe a deluxe King Kong. With Jason back, i think the next Wave will have another one...

Jason variants, Kong, AvP... Maybe the Terrifier? Mars Attacks martians would be cool, I know Beetlejuice is coming, oh and I'd love Tarman from Return of the Living Dead!

I mean, they did do 16 unique molds before releasing variants (NES Freddy and Jason don't count since they were cancelled).

I guess. Micheal and Ash are still in Targets by me. Usually you wait until those really dry up and then you answer the fans complaining with” we heard you and we’re bringing back your favorites!”

I am a big supporter of repaints. They're a necessity in toy making, and usually lead to some great looking releases (and yes, there are lazy repaints out there across the toy industry). Repaints are more profitable than unique mold releases. The development costs are already paid for and then that money is funneled back into new tooling.

But how many toy lines wait until the 17th and 18th figure releases to do repaints though?

Fair point, but one repaint per wave would be enough, imo. Sure, ever Fig is a new mold and maybe i´m so dissapointed ´cause in germany, wave 3 is just yet released, but Ash is a very cheap repaint, just bloodshattered, the better way would be to drop him in wave 3 too, as a sortment variant. Thing is, i already bought two of them, one for the shelf, one unboxed, and i don´t need four of them, so, with wave 5, i will just buy one of each variant and hang them on my wall.

If they were limited variants or exclusives, then just as many people would complain about how hard they are to find.

Was there any confirmation eather way if we'd ever get Alien or Predator done up like this? Arguably more science fiction then horror but its the announcement I keep hoping for.

Comedian · 07-24-2020, 02:10 PM

I’m just waiting for neca to knock my socks off. I haven’t seen that yet this year.

Etherial · 07-24-2020, 02:26 PM

Yeah, mabey its the general lack of anything I really want or just the lack of stuff we didn't already know about before comic con. Ah well, its only Friday.
