Went in wayyyyyy too hard on the Predators...only masked Scar, Chopper and the Elder ones to get.
Thank God I'm limiting to them with the sternum joint.

lol. I've been thinking of getting the preds from the 30th anniversary line and the ultimates..... just one more thing I don't have the room for. I scored a heat vision Dutch for my son when a local store was going out of business..... I almost grabbed a spare for myself. I think I have more than enough though with trying to stay up on the Neca horror stuff, Mez one:12 and my new found appreciation of 1/6 scale figures.

The only one I got from that wave is the OG look masked Predator. Got it on pre-order. I'll probably pick up a Dutch at some point for stop motion stuff, but -- in no real hurry.

I can't believe they made the red polo handshake with Dillion Dutch. Totally unnecessary but I guess every possible Dutch encarnation has been done now.

I will easily buy Dutch in any outfit they make (though you're right that this is the last outfit they have to do). It just blows my mind that NECA got Carl Weathers likeness for the Rocky line but couldn't for the Predator line. I guess his likeness was included when they got the master license for Rocky but not when they got Predator. Weird how all this legal stuff works. I would kill for any additional members of the team but I guess that NECA has been either turned down by them or they wanted too much money. Shame as I don't think the actors realize how much they'd make by agreeing to let NECA use their likeness.

Billy and Hawkins especially. I would be surprised if Shane Black didn't let them have his likeness, given how much of a fan he is of that entire Universe. Also, finally had all of my Predators come in. Just four left to get caught up (except pre-orders)

NECA would kill it with a Ventura in his MTV shirt, but yeah anyone we can get I'll gladly take.

NECA has said something along the lines that the Rocky liscense included all characters where as Predator they have to work with each individual actor. My wording isn't verbatim but that's how I interrupted it

Thanks, I'm super into them. Was sure I'd never be, but -- Predator is my favorite movie monster ever. As much as I tried to stay away, bought the Serpent Hunter one for stop motion, and -- that was it :/ Now I need to work on building a dio for all of them. Thinking of a throne room on Yautja Prime.

Part IV Ultimate Jason arrived at my doorstep today and it's pretty sweet, the only issue I have is that his hands come off far too easily, so I'm afraid I'll lose them due to a cat rubbing against them.

What does everybody think of Aliens series 12? Im very disappointed by the line up and very glad I didn't join the NECA Club X Alien. I *might* get the Ripley Also surprised by this announcement, the laziest Ultimate figure yet. But its Ash Williams (and its one of the greatest action figures ever in my opinion) so its an absolute instant purchase even though I own the regular releases. Ultimate figures are irresistibly good. Like NECA said, don't buy it if you don't want it and the money goes toward tooling new AvED figures

Getting turtles earlier than expected
Dear Customer, We’d like to update you on the shipping schedule for your NECA 2017 Convention Exclusive purchase. Although we originally stated that these would be shipping AFTER San Diego Comic-Con (which takes place July 20-23, 2017)… good news! We will be shipping the Convention Exclusives earlier, so that they will arrive as the show opens. If you have any other questions about your order, please visit the Frequently Asked Questions page or email necaclubcustomerservice@necaonline.com.

Blah.... glad everyone who wants is getting the tmnt stuff but I want more ing Jason and Leatherface. I'm not buying the stuff Randy says on twatter. I never see F13 stuff clogging shelves or TCM stuff either. If I got full of horror stuff, I would then probably open my wallet for more alien or pred stuff. As it is, I don't because I don't know when the horror stuff is going to hit. Seems like they are pulling a Mattel and dragging their feet on releases. Not to mention two of the three ultimate Jason's have been almost straight up re-releases of older figs.
