Hah. You post on here too. Awesome. But yeah. I'm going to pick up that Hive Warrior. The nostalgia is too much for me to handle. I haven't picked up a figger in a while. But I need, NEED the new Sideshow Snake Plissken figure.  Oh my god.

So NECA is kinda pissing me off lately. The Pacific Rim figures are pretty much impossible to find. NECA seems to be intentionally making them a scarce figure set, you'll see 3 sets of new Predators, 3 sets of Video Game stuff, 3 sets of Rambo figures, 3 sets of RoboCop...but only 1 set of Pacific Rim. Alright, they're doing business crap 101..but it's getting downright frustrating at this point. Not to mention NECA's whole deal with the 18 inch Gipsy Danger...it's sold out everywhere on the internet, except for the NECA ebay store....where they upped the price pretty high. 120 isn't godawful...but add in the extra 16 for shipping, well...I don't know. The thing costs a hundred bucks flat. And they're inflating the price like a scalper. Just seems shady in my opinion. But what I'm most pissed about, is I found ONE Pacific Rim figure at retail. ONE. And of course, I open it up and...  Ruagh. It's so lovely, because I can't replace it with another one. I'm pretty sure that's all that store is going to get, ever. I guess i'll have to look online or something. But man. This is the most frustrating situation i've had with toys in years. Haha.

Thanks, I might try that. But in my area, they've only gotten one batch of each series. It could be the store's choice, but when I ask, they seem to just say the company just gives them what they give them. So I don't know.

NECA never responded. Perhaps I was too blunt. I asked if it would've been possible to get a replacement from them because the store won't be getting more in. No answer. Took it back, got my  back....but now I'm frustrated I can't find the 18 inch Gipsy Dangers anywhere...literally no place, except for eBay for 300 bucks. Ah well....

Canopus250 posted:I'm thinking about the second set of NECA's Pacific Rim figures and was wondering if anybody can chime in about battle damaged Gipsy Danger. In the basic preview through them and on bbts it just sort of looks dirt covered compared to the first one. I love Striker and Leatherback and am debating buying the three pack, but I can't really tell if that Gipsy is worth not paying the markup on the old one. After months of searching, I FINALLY found a Gipsy! I really like her. The battle damage is Gipsy but more dirty. She'd look nice with the other one, I'd imagine, mostly because of the chainswords. The chainswords make it. But then again this is the only Pacific Rim figure I have, so it's up to you if you think it's worth an extra buy. But the chainswords are really cool, so it depends how you feel about having a Gipsy with her most iconic weapon. (i'll have to upload the rest later, imgur is being a bitch)

Very much so. I passed up on the whole set the day before the film came out. I was so let down by Man of Steel, I decided to wait and see before I bought any of the products for Pacific Rim, in case it was terrible. Bad mistake. I loved it, and when to pick up the figures...They were gone, and I barely ever saw any of them after that day. I would say they're the most sought after NECA line at the moment. Definitely pre-order the 18 inch Gipsy. I don't have her yet...but man, she looks worth it.

I had my Wall Crawling Spider-Man on me, I thought, but I guess it's elsewhere. I'll see if I can find it to take some pics. I found it at a Toys R Us after everyone was raving about it. Lucky find I suppose? haha. Now if that luck would trasfer to the Black Series Fett, that'd be loving nice. Everywhere I go I see Leia, Han, and Greedo. NEVER a Boba Fett.

That's why the Alien ones worked. They were real figures from the 70's. If they weren't 20 bucks each, i'd pick up more.

I saw that Fan Film when I was a kid. It was the greatest thing my eyes had seen up to that point. I made my own Red Predator, and it was badass. I never thought in a million years someone would make that one, let alone multiple figures from a fan film about Batman fighting a Predator...and then an Alien.

They haven't made them yet, but they said they were going to at some point. AvP stuff is totally OK to do. It's just NECA's been busy with the Lost Hunter stuff, so they haven't done much else.

I have never once seen a Black Series Boba Fett at retail. I've seen Han, Leia, Greedo, R2, Luke, Darth Maul, and the Sandtrooper. But never once, Boba Fett. The people who figure out how many to pack each case are bullshit.

Greedo should've been the short packed one. Only die hard fans care about that character. Almost everyone LOVES Boba Fett. Making him one per case is just annoying. Oh well.
