Toyfair 2025: NECA JAWS, Horror, Beetlejuice and more

"Don't want ancient plastic" said no serious toy collector ever.

I'm really disappointed in the lack of chrome. I'd rather put my money towards a good condition original to replace my beat up childhood toy in my collection.

These were always marketed as reissues with a few improvements to the figures. Theres no vacmetal but I heard there was a $170 comic con set that adds it to the MDU. I dont think thats confirmed.

I never had any of these and I dont want a bunch of ancient brittle plastic or overpriced 3rd party (which is just as fragile), so these will work for me. Theyve already said if wave one doesnt do well then the line will be canceled so if anyone wants these then get them or else its game over.

They can't use the Switchblade name? Way cooler than HTH..

Compared to what RAMEN made, it looks so cheap but at the same time it is only 1/4 of the price of what Ramen made.

Not sure what to think. Not sure what I find disappointing.

RAMEN at some point was floating the idea of making 1/18 MASK.

So the big transformation is just... it opening the doors? And maybe the back of the car extends a bit???

I remember in the toon, the smokestacks on the car doors extended to form bigger wings, and the back of the car had jet engines. They really could and should have improved these molds.

I really want Vanessa Warfield, but I think I'm passing on all the others. Just straight reissues is kind of lame. I wish they had gone more the RAMEN route.

I had Condor in 1985 and I will have it in 2025!

Pretty sure the suggested retail price on this guy is still 24.99, at least until tomorrow night.

Amazon uses a price tracker that heavily weighs BBTS's price once things start to go out of stock. BBTS and EE, of course, have already built in tariff surcharges.

Shown below via Moondogg74 is an in-hand look at the new G.I. Joe Classified Series Retro Cardback Flint Figure from Hasbro. You can purchase this figure at places like our sponsor Entertainment Earth and Amazon with suggested retail price of $27.99

Just looking at the Foot Soldiers hanging off the Mutant Module it's clearly smaller than the original, I can't tell with the playset, though. It would likely have to be though if it connects properly with the undersized Technodrome.
