It sure is, i may only buy a handful of figures this year. I guess I'll be saving a lot of money so i may do something crazy like buying the "bone throne" even though it looks awesome i think its over priced.
Any guesses on the alien day figure this year? Apone won't be released until Q4 this...
I hear what your saying, i'd much rather they make the movie only figs but a lot of people are into Kenner tributes. I'm not into the Kenner stuff but will get Apone.
Yea, looks like he'd get snagged on things.
I noticed wave 13 is to be released q4 2018, does this mean with all the issues in China regarding their factories its going to be a very light year for new figures and this is the only wave were getting from the aliens line for the year?
I can't wait to get a close up of Apone's face to see if it resembles Al or strictly a comic version. I'm a sucker for the Marines even if they are Kenner versions. I get fed up with the slapping a new paint deco on a existing figure and releasing it but with the new sculpted Aliens i respect...
The kenner Marines I'm ok with, i'll definately get 2 Apone's. I know they aren't the same but i wonder if this means neca finally was able to get Al Matthews likeness and a movie version will be made later. Reverse order of how they've gone in the past with movie vs. kenner figures but i can hope.
I'm hoping its not Drake in this case since we know from Randy himself - late in 2018 was his best guess last fall when Drake would get released if that - maybe early 2019. I'm guessing neca will show Drake at SDCC instead of TF. My hopes is of course a previouly unreleased Marine or an ops...
Yes, its the alien from the Burke 2 pack painted purple with some other highlights mixed in. I WAS a member of the neca club but after buying all required figures hoping the exclusive was going to be something i wanted I've decided the club is not for me going forward.
I took a chance on my cameron figure because he's practically inpossible to find in t he states. I compared him to other marines and it looks to be similar if not exactly the same quality as the ones i know for a fact are neca. What i got may be bootlegs but if they are then they aren't obvious...
I got 2 of the Cameron's from a Chinese vendor and they look great, if they are bootlegs i can't tell. I normally wouldn't buy from China based on my past experiences but the feedback was great as well as the shipping. I've been checking TRU online with no luck on him so i wasn't going to miss...
I've cooled down a lot after being a bit ticked off at another simple & easy repaint/money grab from neca after buying into the club mainly just for a chance at a great eoy exclusive - which would have kept me in the club for 2018. I personally don't care for the kenner stuff with the exception...
