I'm not a big fan of this movie, or really most of Stuart Gordon's output, but as a horror movie fan in general I gotta say this is pretty awesome stuff. Really good likenesses (even on the severed head) and great accessories.

[Remco Monster]

Nice, just got mine today.

[ODBJBG]

Really nice. I keep waffling on pulling the trigger on him. But I probably will eventually. I wish he didn't have the blood on his face.

I love the music you use for these, but I must confess it's pretty hilarious as a soundtrack to severed heads and the like.

[Hedji]

LOL! First pocket protector. A garage kit with accessories... yes, well put. I like the NECAs but find them a bit unrefined and non-toylike in their sculpt aesthetic.

I love your "Buy What You Like" send off. Perfect.

I have this character in the 3 3/4 scale and I think I'm happy with that. If they do Creepshow, I'm a goner.

[Iron Mego]

If they do Creepshow, I'm a goner.

If they do The Thing, I'm a goner.

Why oh why won't someone make an 8" MacReady already!?!

Yeah, the thing writes itself doesn't it? MacReady with flame thrower and one of the creatures, I need that.

Heh, yeah it came across as pretty sarcastic in this one. I wanted to switch up the music to something my friend's band did but the file is being difficult.

[EMCE Hammer]

This is great. I probably wouldn't get a good look at this guy any other way. Not sure how I'm going to get my NECA fix around here now that TRU is gone.

NECA is supposed to have a display now at Target stores, apparently it's launching across the country and is being well received.

[EMCE Hammer]

I've seen more NECA stuff at Target, but no retro 8" yet. It would be great if I could look forward to grabbing an Elf or Maude on my way home from work in a few weeks.

Our TRU stores have always had an "adult section" which is mainly dominated by mcFarlane and NECA. There seems to be two pegs for the eight inch stuff, so hopefully Target does something similiar.

[Iron Mego]

I really thought after Plissken came out from NECA, we'd see this. Wonder what the licensing sitch is that's blocking it.

One of us should ask NECA the chances of that happening. They're very open and honest on twitter.

[Iron Mego]

If I Tweeted I would! Suppose they're on Fasebook too, so maybe I'll send 'em a message.

This figure is off the freaking HOOK!
