        I'm thinking of using the second head with the old FTC Elvira dress and Mego body to make a second Elvira figure

            the shortboxed signature version is finally in my hands after paying an ebay guy. yeah yeah, but I did the math - unless he stole it, he made about $10 after all the fees and hassle lol.

            I opened it.

            At first glance, and second glance, I was like wth....it was a baseball card with an autograph that appears computer-generated. It is white on a dark card...has no texture to feel. I had to ask the question in a Facebook NECA group to see. Let me just say this, of 20,000 members on that group, dear god. THe snarks, the jerks...the men children. I think I am done with that one...but i digress...

            Others opened theirs too and started a conversation about it.

            Apparently, Elvira signed 2000 of these.
            The autographs from others, compared to mine, do appear to be different slightly...so, no autopen'ing here.

            I dug out my micro solder tools and looked at mine under a scope. Yes, it is a REAL autograph...under the scope it is clearly different and has no dot pattern of the printed card. But i'd be darned, I cannot feel it. That must be a type of paint pen I've not seen before to get such good coverage without texture height. Under the scope, I can even see the tiny scratch marks around the edge of the heaviest paint.

            and then there is the figure itself. It's really nice, but I was the lucky boy who got a NECA female body whose right hand snapped off at the wrist with the slightest attempt to position it. smh. Guess I have something to fix....

              ^^ Thanks for the intel. Didn't even know about a signature version… are they just random or a different limited run?

              NECA has a part/figure replacement service where they seem to attend to such out-of-the-box issues for a short period of time when new figures are released; might be worth getting another hand?

                Looks the same other than Signature wording at the top. I think they’re a different run. I saw them both at Target.

                  The signed version on target were $100, unsigned was like $37, are they worth it? Im sure U could find her sig somewhere else for under $60.

                    Anyone get their preorder yet? It sucks with almost every major release these days that people who preorder figures are nearly always the last ones to get them.

                            I just got notice from BBTS that it should arrive Thursday. Heck, I had nearly forgotten I ordered it.
