Neca - Golden Girls Figures

[Josette]

The Funko ReAction set goes for ridiculous prices. I have all 4 POPs, and I'm gonna buy these for sure. I love The Golden Girls. Used to watch with my Mom when I was little and I have the complete series.

It's always tough to judge what properties have a following, and therefore who would buy certain collectibles.
I for one, have NO IDEA why anyone wants The Big Lebowski, or Bill the Butcher, or Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka.
But on the flip side, I already pre-ordered The Golden Girls. Nostalgia is a funny thing, and makes different properties mean something to different people.

Age likely has something to do with it. While I do remember Golden Girls fondly when I was young, I don't have a nostalgic bent for them. Now if someone made a Family Matters line, I'd be all over that. I recall reading somewhere that Blitzway is making a Kevin, Marv, and Harry from Home Alone in 1/6 scale. They might have to make it to my display cabinet.

The only oddball 1/6 scale figure I have on display (right now) perpetually is Mr. Bean. No matter how many times I move or switch up displays, he always ends up making the cut. Again, age . Oh, and I have a Darkwing Duck Funko figure sitting on my desk as I type.

GG really does have a strong following and the show holds up fairly well... they tackled a lot of taboo topics and the characters were likeable. I won't be dropping $115 on the set, but I think NECA knows what they are doing here.

I remember seeing the show a bit as a kid, but rewatching it as an adult, I realised how funny the show is and some of the humour truly is well before it's time.

Don't think I'd collect merchandise on the show, but I would pick up the dvds so I could rewatch it again.

so Nostromo crew or Half-Life monsters won't sell but these ones will.

How could anyone not want the dude in 1/6? He is my idol (sadly). To me the dude could have been obi wan kenobi's less ambitious brother, more concerned about pot, ccr, and bowling.

i don't even know who most of them are and wish i didn't waste my time on the movie with the one i know.

100% correct.

Who asked for this? You should be ashamed.

I know friends (30-35) who watch reruns of this show all the time on whatever channels play them. It’s definitely gotten really big in the last 5 years. They were actually interested in the set when I mentioned it to them and they don’t collect toys.

 

[Josette]

Yeah, that's the thing. There will be people who'll get these because "OMG Golden Girls!" and not because they're into the hobby in general.

 

[Sardo Numspa]

Mine shipped out today. Personally, I'm looking forward to them...

 

[chilipep66]

so stoked for these! Friend of the forums and all time great sculptor Trevor Grove worked on them.

 

[Raymond F.]

Picked all mine up at the local comic shop just now love them all.

Paint kind of sucks but they will be fun to repaint.

I usually feel that NECA's mego style figures have crappy caricature style sculpts but these actually look really good.
