NECA - Vincent Price Ultimate Figure

[Damien]

OK, with regards to Vinney, those pics are unflattering. Paint apps are not mismatched on elderly head, and eyes are bluish gray. They got it right.

pictures or none of it is true

Wow, he turned out great. I can't wait to see him on Target/Best Buy shelves.

This version in 1/6 please

I gotta tell ya; the one thing I hate about collecting is finding the stuff, or getting it without it being banged up. The box for this one was obliterated by the USPS.

One big hang up with the NECA things is those cheap, flimsy, paper hanger tags. Those are almost always bent to death. In the past I didn't care, because the bubbles were discarded, and these were "impulse buys" at $12-$25. These Ultimates are branded as "collectibles" and are darn near $40. If I am gonna shell out $40, it needs to be perfect.

I really wish Kaustic Plastik would release something similar to this in 1/6 as a figure. Given that the statue was limited to 250 numbered editions, and another 50 with the noose though, I don't know if that's enough to warrant doing it.

Statue collectors and figure collectors are different. By your logic, NECA wouldn’t have seen a market for this figure. I didn’t buy the statue but would be all over a figure. I bet he’s do as well any any of their other horror figures. Price is just as iconic as the Universal Monsters, he was even the Invisible Man at one point.

I buy both. Got a whole mess of all of it laying around me,lol. What I am saying is: if people are hesitant to pay out larger sums for Ole Vinney (not me) would a doll baby sell better than a statue? Could they make enough to be profitable? They'd get my money. Neca's Vinney is $35. KP's stuff is 10-15 times that if you get all the bells and whistles.

This is a figure, along with their new Horror of Dracula, that I absolutely would've loved seeing in the back of an old issue of Famous Monsters of Filmland as a kid. I would've needled my parents relentlessly for them. The general consensus is they hit it out of the park with these two latest figures.
