NECA Escape From New York Snake Plissken Retro Figure - Toyark Photo Shoot

[En Sabah Nerd]

I would love if this sold well enough, or if NECA just decided, to get us an ultimate style Snake. Great photo shoot as usual.

I'm not into these mego-ish styled figs but this is pure joy. I may have to get this...if nothing else to hang up in my living room above my TV!

They said if this sells well enough, they can then consider a regular 7" scale figure and other Kurt Russell figures as well.

His face looks like it has lady lips.

Ah, Joe, why did you have to mention an R.J Macready figure!? Now I'm gonna longingly pine for it 'til NECA actually makes it!

[scarecrow]

MacReady has been my dream figure since these retro figures started getting produced. This figure looks awesome and like everyone else I hope it leads to a Thing line.

Snake looks awesome, but I've been hearing that the skin tone of the head, hands, and body of this figure don't match one another, and I can see by the pics in this gallery that that seems to be the case, which is a major bummer. Is the color difference that noticeable in-person? I was hoping to display Snake without his jacket (whenever the heck my TRU gets these in).

I'd say it is a little noticeable. I didn't find it distracting, though. I'm used to this as it's a product of trying to match color on two different materials. The head and hands use the same paint and match up well, while the body is cast in a skin tone that's perhaps a bit more yellow.

It's crazy obvious on their mego Leatherface. Like the original mego figures, NECA uses a base body for all the figures. So on a guy like Leatherface who has exposed forearms just due to sleeve length you have this hard transition at the wrists from generic plastic base body to hand crafted particularly for the character.
