I’ll probably flip for this version, not sure about the 1/6 scale one. The ultimate line has, so far, been pretty great
Most figures have an 18 month turnaround. So I’d say they actually jumped on this fairly quickly given all the work that happens before a prototype is even revealed to the public.

NECA does some groovy horror figures. I think it looks good. I am not adding this character into my collection though, as the movie is a tad out of my wheelhouse.
I do have to wonder how long until we get a Chucky vs M3gan movie. She’s really the modern version of Chucky except AI instead of being possessed by a serial killer. New school vs old school. Curious where the sequel goes.

AI may prove to be more frightening than a serial killer. Haven't you heard of Cyberdyne Systems/Skynet? 
Haha OH YEAH! AI terrifies me thanks to that franchise. Seems one of the more believe apocalyptic scenarios.AI may prove to be more frightening than a serial killer. Haven't you heard of Cyberdyne Systems/Skynet?

I have a gazillion Neca figures, and aside from the earliest Loomis/ Myers release from ages ago, I have never had any QC issues. There was a major problem with limbs falling off of those, but that was when the company was new and learning the ropes.

Thanks for the info, that's great to hear! I stopped buying Neca when a few of my Pacific Rim figures fell apart but to be fair most of my other Neca were fine at that point. I'm happy to know it's not a common thing, I'll buy this without fear lol

Oh yeah, fellow freak. They have improved by leaps and bounds from those early days. I about pooped my pants when I opened my box set and Loomis's arm broke. 15 years later, and the new Loomis is as pliable as a yoga teacher, and no breaks. The only thing I hate about Neca these days are the cardboard hangers being part of the box instead of plastic tabs. Its harder to get a mint box . Other than that: I have zero complaints.

With NECA, usually it helps to preheat before articulating.
On of my E.T. arms snapped when I tried to pose the figure.
I feel with NECA figures, the plastic is a little too stiff - in comparison, the Storm Collectibles or Jada Street Fighter 2 lines are quite pliable while still maintaining the poses.

Also, M3GAN was a semi surprise hit.
Most collectible companies probably did not have merchandise licensing deals in place prior to the movie’s release to take advantage of the initial hype train (i.e. Star Wars, Jurassic Park, etc).
NECA and Mondo probably approached Universal after it became a blockbuster hit (relative to the film’s small budget).
