Neca has universal monsters!!!

[batsheva]

I got mine already.. and it's horrifyingly beautiful!
The headsculpts are great. Neca did fantastic job on these monsters!

Are you in the USA or another part of the world?

I’m on the other side. About 24 hours flight from my place to the USA.

 

[Dr. Anton Phibes]

OK, the reason I ask is the USA is still backlogged at the ports from what I hear. So I thought if you were stateside, maybe we were finally seeing some progress.

Ah, I hope the ports cleared up soon!

I really like those. Big time nostalgia.

 

[D'oh!]

I ordered 'em all! Will be fun to put next to my Halloween III set. Same scale, I believe.

At long last for the BK Wolfman from Lootcrate today. They must be having some financial issues or something because their site has been lacking updates all year. Wasn’t even sure the Wolfman would be in this crate. Glad to be done with them.

Interesting. Now if only we would hear something about that Horror of Dracula Ultimate and Vincent Price Ultimate. I ain't heard a "peep" since they showed the prototypes last Fall.

 

[Buttmunch]

Yeah, NECA has been awfully quiet on all fronts - especially monsters. Really looking for to that Price. Might end up with 3 just to be able to display him at each age.

I usually don't buy doubles of anything. or repaint variants. NECA has been the exception. Bought doubles of most monster entries.

 

[Buttmunch]

This will probably cover all things monsters and not just Universal but NECA is going to be revealing things throughout May.

Maybe we’ll see things like Hammer, Vincent Price, and Krampus finally go up for order?

I hope the NECA store items are first to market releases and not exclusives. Really hate paying for their expensive shipping.

 

[Dr. Anton Phibes]

Neca Store exclusives? Sure to arrive in destroyed boxes.

I have been quiet in purchasing NECA. With figures retailing for $69.99 here in Canada, it's very hard to open my wallet! I do miss those $14.99 days when NECA first released their Hellraiser line. Golden years of collecting...one to open one to keep MOC!

I feel ya. I can tell you this much, manufacturers are making it easier and easier just to shrug something off and not collect. As nice as some things are, the prices are absurd. After collecting for over three decades.....I am extremely selective these days. I just am more concerned about practical things in my older age.

NECA Horror of Dracula

Didn't see anyone talking about this yet, unless I missed it somewhere.

 

[Buttmunch]

About time! Although I’m not crazy about NECA’s recent push for ordering on their site to get it earlier. Their shipping costs make each figure unnecessarily more expensive. Let me pick it up at Target or order from BBTS. Still waiting on ordering the Bride of Frankenstein monster set thanks to them doing the same thing with that set.

This is amazing. I didn't pre order it though.

I am not going to pay shipping for something that is going to arrived damaged. If I cannot find them in stores in good condition, I will have to miss out.

So I hope my buddy's shop gets these.

Not doing the online "roll the dice takes yer chances'. If I wanted to gamble, I would go to Vegas.

I like that the long front shirt looks to cover the NECA diaper.
