I used to get all my NECA and Diamond Select stuff at TRU but now I think it's going to pretty much be Amazon. No other stores near me carry these types of figures.

Where can I find NECA figures besides Tous R Us? I know F.Y.E carries them but my local store closed two years ago! Now toys r us is about to be! What retail stores carry them? I think that's kind of "iffy" right now. On Twitter Randy has said they are getting into other stores but I have to believe that certain lines just straight up won't make it to stores like horror etc. There's just no way Walmart will carry that stuff. I think if we're lucky the aliens and preds and video game stuff is a go though. Wal-Mart carries McFarlane TWD products. Surely they could carry the horror figures in the line.

I didn't think about that. Surely then they could make it happen.

They just really bummed me the out. So they posted a while back a photo of the grave marker of part 5 Jason. I thought it was going to be Roy but it's a recycled part 4 figure with some new heads and a "dream sequence" Jason rather than Roy. I mean, I'm all good and I'll get multiples of that figure but FFS just get the ing guys made.

You would think they’d have already gotten enough money and mileage out of the first 3 releases of Jason we have so far but it’s been years and they just keep re-releasing the same ones instead..and now this repaint/slight re-tool. At least there’s 3 more ultimate Jason’s in the work for 2019. There’s no way at least one of them isn’t Roy. Hoping for a part 8 as well maybe even part 7 or 9.

I'm 99% confident that at least one or possibly 2 of the figures for next year will be re-tooled versions of the old part 7 statue figure and Freddy vs Jason. Thinking about it, they would need to make some adjustments for articulation but that's about it. I think the thing to consider now is that they are going to be limited as to what they can do in terms of variants with the figures they have left. I think we could get an Uber and regular part X. 7 and 8 will probably share some similarities. 9 I can't see them doing much with besides just that figure and Roy the same.

Anyone else grabbing the TMNT set that goes on sale tomorrow? I wanted to grab the one with the diorama, but I like the unbranded version that NECA showed off at Toy Fair more. I'm on the fence about waiting or just grabbing both.

She usually goes to SDCC every year but isn’t this year and she’s a big fan of his. I feel like I remember not having any trouble preordering last year’s TMNT set.

I want a set of turtles. I do have quite a bit of preorder stuff coming due the next couple months though. I've decided I would give it a good effort yesterday and today to get a set so if I dont, it's no worry and if I do great. It's not like they won't get bootlegged and available on eBay within a year anyway....

I really hope NECA can make a Jack Nicholson Joker at some point. I know they've said probably never. I think he's being a dick over royalties and whatnot. But I would seriously pay up to like up to $65 for a 7 inch figure of him to go with the 7 inch Keaton Batman they put out a few years ago.
Even if it's a SDCC exclusive next year to coincide with the 30 year anniversary of the movie. I need a Nicholson Joker. I think it's now my Holy Grail toy item. I'm not shelling out $500+ for those hot toys/sideshow figures, though.

I'm not shelling out $500+ for those hot toys/sideshow figures, though. A 7" Nicholson Joker is my holy grail also. If someone were to actually be able to do one, I would probably crap myself. Every year that passes without Neca doing one, I get closer and closer to shelling out the cash for a Hot Toys version. I don't know jack crap (pun intended) about how the royalties would work for something like that. Would it be a base price they have to pay him plus % of sales? If that's the case, I wonder what % he is asking for... if they were smart, they could do it and milk the out of it. Do a figure of the scene where "the pen is mightier than the sword" like the HT figure. Do a unpainted face with a "messed up face" head version of the "homicidal artist- dinner scene." Then finally, an ultimate version of the Final Battle scenes from the parade to the clock tower. Surely with that, they could exclusive a couple of those, make them at $40-50 per piece and come up with the cash to do the deal?
I never can tell with those guys what is going on. They said for ages they couldn't do Halloween and then Mezco pops out with a one:12 version. (I'm hoping they do many versions of Michael) What was so hard about that? I think sometimes they get stuck on keeping figures at a certain price point and don't realize that if they charged more for a super item (like a nicholson Joker) people would still pay like a mother er for it. I know I would. It would be awesome.
I think the most realistic option is that Mezco does a one:12 Keaton and Joker. That's the only way I see us ever getting one in this scale. If it ever happens, good luck to y'all in getting one because I'm buying every last one I can get my hands on.

Out of curiosity, anyone grab an extra set of the sdcc turtles and looking to help anyone out? I came close to getting a set today and was stuck on that stupid "you're next in line" loading page for a good minute.

lol! You too huh? I tried all 3 days. I wonder how many some of those people got? I'm sure some of those really prickish scalpers used 3 different credit cards with 3 different addresses. All those rotten apples on ebay already selling the crap out of them.

I was able to grab two of the $125 sets on the 3rd day. I missed the first day, and the 2nd day took too long with PayPal. 3rd day, used a CC and was about go score the two sets. I'm considering just keeping the 2nd set MOC, but I would trade them if someone had last year's cartoon set complete and still MOC.

I picked up the Value Stop Ash today at TRU for just over $13. You shopped smart.

Detolf sized Friday the 13th diorama I created to display the various NECA offerings of Jason as well as the accessory set. It’s not specific to anything seen on screen but I think it fits within the realm of the franchise while allowing me to have multiple figures in one small shelf. I’ll likely create another once we eventually get all other incarnations of the character.

I’ll likely create another once we eventually get all other incarnations of the character. That really is great.... My display is trash right now. Probably will be until we move and I get my own room... Currently saving for a new home... My setup consists of a loose part 3, a mip pt 3, a loose part 4, a mip signed part4, a loose part 6, a signed mip part 6, a signed McFarlane Jason x and a signed 25th anniversary momma Voorhees and sackhead set. All on a single shelf....
