    Pick your top 3 of 2022

    Hey folks,

    Working on a video essay about my favourites but I'd like an opposing view point.

    So, what I'd like to know is, what were your top 3?

    Favourite Mego Figure of 2022?
    Favourite Neca 8" of 2022?
    Favourite FTC figure of 2022?

    Let me know your thoughts.

      The ones that made me happiest:

      Just reread the rules
      1. Mego Green Lantern
      2. FTC Red Beard
      3. Neca Elvira

      Teenage Bog Monster would be on my list if it qualified.

            wow! Things move so quickly anymore and there has been so much of an embarrassment of riches that it is almost hard to recall back to Jan of 22.

            MEGO had some super cool entries in all catagories, tho I tend to favor the vintag-ish monster items.
            The boxed Creature at WalMart was great as I really liked the packaging and the figure is top notch
            Medusa was awesome and worth the wait to see it hit retail
            non horror nod to Kor as it is always a treat to see a Brady sculpt on a factory made figure.

            I don't typically purchase NECA items, but if I did the Elvira figure would be top on my list.

            I also don't tend to pick up FTC figures, tho I do get parts and cloth goods from them.
            I am pretty excited for their new Skeleton figures
            and I am also interested to see what folks make from their monster heads/bodies/parts from fall of 2022

              My favorites this year, if I had to guess:

              Mego: Taylor in loincloth, Flash and Green Lantern on principle (though I still don't have any of the 50th figures, waited too long getting other stuff done), the Shazam that was in wave whatever it was (the new one) looks really good in pictures, and I ended up liking the Ghostbusters way more than I was expecting.
              FTC: Rima (simple, but terrific) and Winter Velma
              NECA: I'm just seeing pictures of the Stevie Wayne (The Fog) figure for the first time tonight, and I'm pretty psyched that it exists.

              If I had to narrow it down to three? Probably Taylor, Rima and Stevie, with an honorable mention to Egon in the Ghostbusters set, who lives on my shelves between Grimace and Dr. Herbert West.

                Mego 50th stuff got me back to buying from them after I lost interest in their stuff.
                Neca??
                FTC has lost me with its pricing shipping charges and poor customer service.

                    Mego- Mutant Leader- great sculpt!
                    NECA- Elvira, though I don't really buy NECA.
                    FTC- Scooby Doo Snow Ghost. I still get joy out pulling off that mask and mentioning meddling kids.

                          Mego- Green Lantern (after 5 decades of waiting)
                          NECA- Elvira, just well done on every level
                          FTC- Phantom Stranger. Nicely executed even with the head re-use
