Im pretty interested in these prop replicas too, Im just not sure where Id squeeze them into my already massive Batman collection with them being such large items. Ideally I want them all but Ithink the animated ones are grabbing me the most.
No idea where Id put these but Id really like to see the price point on them.
And on a personal note this year NECA is making action figures of two of my personal friends who are no longer with us with both the They Live figure of Roddy Piper and finally the release of the Alien figure ofHarry Dean Stanton. Im very much looking forward to adding these tributes to the works of my departed friends and colleagues to my collection and I plan to personally thank Randy for this when I see him in July.
So much great stuff from NECA! Finally, after 35 years were getting detailed Back To The Future Action Figures (plusthe animated series which was something I didnt realize I wanted until I saw it in the case), thereturn of the Defenders of the Earth (which is something I never thought Id see and now Im going to need a bigger shelf for my DotE collection), not only was NECA already responsible for the best Turtles figures ever made but they surpassed even that with more cartoon, film, and game Turtles then I ever would have imagined (I just hope I can find them all), and after years and years of Alien figures we are finally getting to wrap up that Nostromo crew. And still doing good stuff with Gremlins and Horror.
Oh and I have to hope that them doing the soft goods Jaws figures might mean there will be an opportunity to do ultimate style figures of them in the future.

I, too, miss their Player Select line they had some great figures with their Dante from Dante's Inferno being one of my favorites. I regret not picking up Kain and Raziel when I had the chance, same thing with their Ryu Hayabusa.
I particularly loved their Bioshock and Gears of War figures. I have Hayabusa and Raziel and love them.(altho they effed up the release of hayabusa and forgot to include his kunais, so im kunai-less but its whatev)They also did some amazing work on Dead Space. The Bioshock ones are my all time favorite of that line tho.

I would love to grab any of the arcade game and cartoon based TMNT stuff but money is limited and that goes to other licenses i desperately want more. The rest they have are great. I do miss their Player Select line they did, seems now they just do alot of predator, alien, tmnt, and movie licenses anymore. I guess their video game stuff kind of got dropped for all that instead. Still they always impress me in what they put out and definitely a favorite toy company of mine.

That Flash Gordon of Defenders of Earth is so hansome, a total man
The paint job on the Defenders of the Earth figures looks kind of rough to me. I wonder if that's just the prototypes or will they be smoothed out before release.
