NECA Interstellar

But their "MEGO" figures cost more than their regular figures.

Back when the Django figures were announced, I asked Randy on twitter why they went with the MEGO style and he said its cheaper and they didn't have enough time to make actual action figures. But maybe they're more expensive because they're larger and come with "real clothes" and more accessories than most of their 7 inch figures.

He probably meant cheaper to produce. There's less steel mold costs. Instead of doing a unique body with a unique sculpt, they can use the same body you've used with their other retro lines.

That's what i meant, sorry i should worded that better.

This is so awesome! Interstellar is my favorite film of all time. These don't really look retro which is good. They look pretty detailed. I really hope hot toys or someone makes a custom 1/6 Cooper but this is awesome. I can't wait!

Randy on twitter said no to TARS and CASE.

Bandai Chogokins, please.

I had no idea they were making these, BOUGHT.

The MEGO style is probably a nod to Madelman's 2001 figures and that sort of thing.

And tbh, they're more timeless than sculpted figures.

And tbh, they're more timeless than sculpted figures.

Yeah i agree.

Randy on twitter said no to TARS and CASE.

Why on earth would they do that?

Because 'sometimes you have to go back to move forward'

The tragedy of being unable to rep someone.

Yeah i agree.

The fact that they're retro will have a lasting appeal where most sculpted figures will just look outdated.

Pretty cool. Shame the film sucked ass.

So Coop and Brand are coming in June together in a box set for around $60. They're also going to be pretty limited.

 

[GasparZizou]

Ah right ah right ah right....

 

[pturtle]

Looks awesome, I'll definitely be picking both of them up.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Coop looks really really nice.

No desire to buy. Just like the blu ray.

 

[ApeManRyan]

Very nice! I still need to see the movie but I'll probably pick both up.

 

[jrice73]

Absolutely fantastic! So BOUGHT!

I like astronauts. I want to be a spaceman when I grow up.

Figured I would bump the thread since these should be shipping any day now. Can't wait to get this one.

 

[MwNN]

Thanks for the bump, I had forgotten about these.
They look pretty good for what they are...proportions seem good.
