They're doing GI JOE too, wonder what's going to happen with that. Can't remember if it was being produced strictly by 3A or 3ZERO only. Their Optimus wasn't so bad.

My wife likes walking by their booth at SDCC to see what's there but she's never bought any of their stuff. I don't think I've seen their Optimus.

Get the SSC Drake, it's fantastic.

You can be absolutely evil

I have a ton of NECAs, mostly their video game figures...which they need to do more of. I have their Snake Plissken but...I've considered selling a few of the NECAs. I don't have interest in their movie figures much anymore either.

I broke down and went to Hastings since it's across from where I work. They dropped their discounts to 30-50% off today. Action figures are still only 30% off, but they had a 1/4 NECA Alien Big Chap there that I've been keeping an eye on. I went ahead and bought it for $70 since I figured it would be gone soon.

Maybe you saw them but turned away cause of the bay Optimus.

I probably did. I would have taken note of that G1 Optimus. Looks pretty damn good to me.

Ain't bad.

3A / 3ZERO is good at making robots and stuff like that, sometimes. I can't speak well of their HALO series. Which people seem to be complaining a lot about.

 

[FSLAR]

Oh god I missed that Black Widow, what is that?! That looks like a stylized, anime cutesy Widow! If I wanted that, I'd buy the Kotobukiuya Bishjoujo Black Widow and that piece looks great on its own.

Urggh, makes me sick.

Neca's 18 inch predator is the best thing I ever owned in my whole life figure wise . the greatest predator representation ive had (yes Ive had Hot Toys, not as good)

Yep - same here. Open mouth P1 is the best thing I've owned.

Wow, 30 minutes ago you just said you never bought a NECA figure and now your first one is a dirt cheap 1/4 Big Chap? That's one hell of a day!

 

[Snake Plissken]

I don't know how many of you read Manga here, but the final chapter of Bleach just came out. I gotta say, this last arc sucked and was completely anti climatic. The way things were left, I wouldn't be surprised a spin off series comes about.

 

[Jameson Rook]

I really want to get into the NECA 1/4 Batmen, but I missed out Keaton. The Arkham Knight one looks crazy good for the price.

More 3A crap; I think they're using this aesthetic with GI JOE too.

I'm still confused on which G1 Optimus is the one to buy, MP4, MP10, MP3, DVD, good lord.

I've wanted the 1/4 Big Chap for awhile but didn't want to pay retail for it. 30% off was well worth it. I'm thinking about putting him in my office next to my monitor. They have some of the smaller figures NECA makes, but I never got into collecting those. As for the other 1/4 NECA figures, I'd just rather put the $100 toward something else. I almost bought the 1/4 Reeve though.

There are so many now. I'd like to get the MP10, but some of these statues that are coming out have caught my eye too. XM is going to start making G1 TF statues now and Prime already has theirs up for PO.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Only MP Transformers I want to get my hands on is the Beast Wars line.

 

[Shawpaw]

If it's any indication, NECA 1990 TMNT figs look so phenomenal. Those are the most accurate, interpretations of turtles figs I've ever seen. NECA really doing some wonders with the 1/4 figs

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I don't want to start collecting another line of TF so I'm not getting it but that one looks great.

I'm in none currently. I've mentioned I'm trying to really back off on everything, but Beast Wars holds too much of a place in my childhood to ignore it.
