I think this makes for a nice exclusive. Nothing too crazy that a majority of fans would need to get, but it's cool in its own right. Every SDCC exclusive that gets announced makes me nervous because there's always one, at least, that I feel a strong desire to own and end up shelling out a large sum for on the secondary market, but so far so good this year. I haven't seen anything I really need yet.
Im really looking forward to the next 4 SDCC reveals though. Neca has pretty much always delivered at the show but I feel like the past couple of years theyve stollen the show with the number one exclusive that year.
Thus far the tally with NECA at SDCC is:
1 must buy (turtles set - might get 2 to have an opener)
and 1 maybe (with this figure).
So lets see how the next 4 go.
I enjoyed the movie but didnt love it so I wasnt planning on buying any merch from it but I might get this. If it was at retail it would be a skip but since I go to SDCC every year I tend to splurge a lot on the exclusives. SoIll probably take a look at it in the case at the Con before I decide.
i really like the greyscale on this figure. i'm not a daily neca collector but i would pick this up just because it's really unique and would look great on a shelf, hell! i might mount one to the top of the fantasy football trophy!
