Neca 8": what's planned?

[Starroid Raiders Dagon]

Those look very, very cool.

[Starroid Raiders Dagon]

I sincerely hope that there is no "controversy" that gets this line cancelled or pulled. Those figures look good. Any pics surface of what their bodies will look like?

Well, Tarantino has made some divisive statements about the police in the last two weeks so have to see if that impacts the movie. He isnt stepping back from last I heard on the tv. Not about the movie but affects the studio and director.

Hateful eight figures are limited to 3,000 pieces each..

grab them while you can..

I wonder why they felt the need to include that disclaimer...

They're trying to stop "PC-Mom" from going crazy again, I guess. Trying to avoid another Django.

[Confessional]

^^ It's seems obvious why they included the disclaimer… a female figure with a black eye. This will likely be cast as a *toy* (instead of an adult collectible tied to an R-rated work of fictitious film) by some and associated with a despicable societal ill.

BTW, the mere thought of a cranky Bruce Dern action figure has had me chuckling for weeks.

[Gorn Captain]

I think we'd best go for the female figure first, before someone starts going nuts about it.

Dang, I must be the kiss of death for 8" Retro figures. I never buy any of them. Then I see ZICA's Buck Rogers line and love it, buy those and it's promptly cancelled. Don't buy anything for years then pick up the 2 Apes from NECA and now cancelled. I guess the rest of you can relax. I think this will be the last time I buy a new line of 8" figures.

Whew, thanks!

Anything new in Neca retro cloth 8" coming?

[Brown Bear]

Still hoping to see a Rocky in boxing gloves.

[Spyweb007]

I'd like to see them make Rambo. I think Neca is still doing a Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure set of figures.

[Gorn Captain]

So far, it seems that we're mostly getting Freddy and Jason variations.
I do like Hateful Eight, so I've started collecting those.
Still feels they've really slowed down production of their 8" line.

[Confessional]

^^ from what I recall Bill & Ted, multiple Weird Al, Capt. Spaulding, multiple Ash vs Evil Dead, Chop Top, and more versions of Leatherface, Freddy & Jason. Pennywise if the license ever approves.

Not my tempo, but that's still several releases coming in 2016.

Hoping to see them tackle Hellraiser and the Alien and Predator franchises at this scale.
