Neca has universal monsters!!!

[BeefEaster]

I've stopped preordering neca stuff from bbts because they're always the absolute last place to get stock.

The last two I had on preorder from there were part 7 jason and kesslerwolf and I was able to find them elsewhere literal months gefore they got their stock in.

They just finally got kesslerwolf in about a week ago.

I did get the Kesslerwolf from BBTS - worth the wait, imo.

Any thoughts on why BBTS is slow? Slower than Dorkside? I figure these companies at the mercy of the toy companies? I figure dealing with Hasbro is prob a nightmare, but no clue on NECA!

(apparently I have questions at 5:55 am lol)

That sarcophagus is gorgeous.

Where's the full Lugosi Dracula reveal though?

I'm not sure for NECA, but they order so much that for like Hasbro product they get deliveries straight from the ports and don't waste time/money shipping them to Hasbro just to ship them to BBTS later. Shipping is crazy now so they're probably leaning towards the cheaper container options I would bet.

It's hard for me to get past the birthing hips they chose for The Mummy.

Same. I’m passing. I have other Mummy items to suffice.

 

[Joda]

I really wondered about those hips too. I've still got one on pre-order, but that's the one thing that has me going back and forth more than anything else. I know 'real' human beings don't usually have 'heroic' proportions - is it possible Karloff's hips were that wide, or is it a sculptural/manufacturing oversight?

 

[pixletwin]

It’s called “middle age spread” whipper snappers.

The Chaney Jr. head is dead on. Maybe the best human likeness Neca has ever done.

 

[pixletwin]

Where store did you order from?

 

[DeathComesRipping]

Got him from a local toy shop that I just discovered called Mythical Mountain. They have a ton of Neca stuff and also had the Mummy (which I'll probably be getting from them tomorrow).

They're a bit pricey (paid $40) but I'm tired of waiting for Target and Walmart to get these.

 

[pixletwin]

Thanks for your reply. I might need to make a trip to a local shop.

I would say they are slightly too wide for Karloff but it's the torso that is too small. But it looks to be that way to allow the arms/shoulders to be in proportion. Solid plastic arms and torso don't allow for the natural resting position of the human body.

Good analysis. (And I definitely trust your eye.) Thanks, man!

Something new from NECA

 

[Buttmunch]

First one seems to be the April Bride from the TMNT Universal Monster mash ups.

 

[DeathComesRipping]

B&W Wolfman (along with the new ultimate Ash) should be hitting Targets soon...

Target's month long "Haulathon collector's event" officially starts on Friday, but some stores already have their displays up.

And here's a pic from a seller off ebay...
