Wow! Looks like NECA came to play! Nice to see the format rebounding a bit.

They make very nice looking retro type figures but the leg articulation is horrible. I gave away my Freddie cuz of it

[bgiles73]

I'm thinking about getting some of these. What's wrong with the leg articulation on these? Is it something that can't be fixed by one of Dave and Craig's S- Bodies?

Super-Freddy?

NECA seems to be all-in!

The hip articulation only have a 45 degree cut. As a result, it is not possible for any of the Neca Retro figures to be in any type of walking or forward stance without looking bold legged The hip articulation is akin to the Toy Biz 13" rotocast Marvel figures. The Neca heads can not be transfer to any know mego type body. Neca heads have no neck. Neca heads have a socket type hole (like the Marvel Universe figures) that connects to a ball on the top of the neck. I'm sure there are folks who will be able to make a transfer but it will require a bit of work. I guess Neca was trying to be innovative with their 8" body but not in my opinion.

Could care less about the rock band it is based on, but the Mummy figure is a "must have" just from a monster lover stand point. Pre-order is in!

[Gorn Captain]

The leg articulation is a bit outdated (when you try to sit them down, their knees rotate out), but all the rest is fantastic.
I just got my Freddy, and I love him.

Ghost Face!

[Timothy2251]

Yep, gonna have to get a Ghostface. Probably a Powerslave Eddie, too!

[Gorn Captain]

Never liked Scary Movie, so thankfully I can skip this one.

[samurainoir]

Ghost Face!

I wonder if the mask is sculpted, or playing to the strength of the format, there is a sculpted head of an actor under there? It would allow for a number of variants given that numerous actors have been under that mask... Matthew Lillard was one wasn't he?

Nice to be buying these NECA movie monsters! I already have my 2 Jasons and Freddy and am looking for Leatherface and baghead Jason! They should have skipped the Ghost Scream figure but and opted for another character like Pinhead,Tall Man or some other more iconic character of some sort. NECA is kicking butt and we love it

[firestarcomics]

Does anyone have any pictures of this sack head Jason without the sack? I just bought mine at work and am not opening it. I wonder what it looks like???

[Brown Bear]

Can't saw I have any interest in these two, compared to what else is available to choose from right now. I'd love to see Michale Myers.
