I think they mixed him up with Nathan Fillion:

I want the M.U.S.C.L.E. figures badly.
edit: They make Masters of the Universe ones!?!
Need Alien M.U.S.C.L.E.
Yeah, "Alien Day" is on 4/26 (GET IT?). Lots of cool stuff going on, including theaters that are showing a double-billing of the first two movies.
Is anyone a MotUC subscriber? I might need one of these.
That's pretty fucking rad.
I'd say you should buy 3 if you get the opportunity to buy any. You know what's gonna happen to that price.
Yeah, I'd like to buy 3.
Evil He-Man is black. So racist.
Still has his original fish belly features, and he's 11:59 type black. It's probably ok.
New hideous 8bit figure acquired.

Cut it out.
That's NECA's worst one yet. It looks like someone was just randomly slapping an Arnold figure over and over with a paintbrush.
Fucking terrible.
That line needs to die, especially now that it's ruining new IP, like Contra.
TBH it's a fairly good representation of the pixel art.Quote:

It actually is, but it's still one ugly figure.Quote:

That pixel art is ugly as sin to start with, is the problem.
Exactly
I'm sure Contra's been ruined far before they announced these figures. Besides, if the line dies you won't get those AvP arcade repaints that you're keen on buying.Quote:

TRU has a kick ass little $4 Lego Poly Bag of the Batmobile from Batman vs Superman. Don't give a crap about the movie but nice little design!
Picked up this nifty Ben Reilly Spidey figure.

Clean that floor.

I want to imagine that Berringer was playing with all his figures, having a massive battle between all of them.Quote:

Ah, that makes sense, especially since that's essentially what Konami did.
It's a combination of packing for moving, and my son's Lego Dimensions stuff in that small corner.Quote:

And if they announce anything in regards to AvP, it will probably be tomorrow. I doubt they'd do SDCC exclusive on those. They seem like a sure thing for retail.
Normally I would laugh and call that lazy, but in this case it's kinda brilliant.Quote:

You're right, I don't lock the closet. I'm not a monster.
Parenting done right. The threat of a beating should be stronger than any lock.
Huh. I'd never thought you were for physical punishment.
I think all children should be beaten to death by the age of 6.
Like Logan's Run, but more proactive.
Doesn't Berringer live in Texas? That's par for the course there.
Please keep personal attacks out of this thread.Quote:

Wow. That's a good looking figure, but I'm remaining minimalist with my "collection."
Aww, she comes with a marine helmet, too! That's adorable.
http://www.the-nextlevel.com/tnl/att...1&d=1461683307
A-ffirmative
She's an SDCC exclusive. Way to go on that, NECA.
I'll have to get one when I go to SDCC!
Get me one as well.
That is fucking LAME.Quote:

I should have a pro pass, I'll see if I can't figure something out on that front. I may be too broke to go, but we'll see.Quote:

Bitch move? Hardly. It isolated Ripley again, creating tons of tension. Not only did she have an alien monster to worry about, she was surrounded by human monsters. How long do you think Newt would have lasted in that environment? Roc would have torn her apart day one.
No? That's a shame. However, I got that Mrs. Voorhees/Kid Jason set last year from NECA's online store without any problem at all, so whoever wants Newt will probably be able to get their hands on her without having to resort to Evilbay.Quote:

Fuck em. They're not important. Alien is about Ripley.
Exactly.
So, is Ripley some fedora wearing /r9k/bot? She had a team! They got wasted.
You guys are just being meanies.
The Alien 5 they have planned ignores all that shit. Concept art shows old Ripley, acid scarred Hicks, and grown up Newt. They're going the Dallas route.
I want a crossover with GILFs Ripley & Strode having a sleepover on Crystal Lake and right when they fall into each others arms after a fierce pillow fight, gaze into each other's eyes and lock lips... CRASH! a pod of face huggers lands in the woods resurrecting Michael and Jason, and basically all Hell breaks loose.
I hope it never gets made. Go back and read the 20-year-old dark horse comics if you need that storyline.Quote:

Ripley is missing, Hicks has PTSD and Newt grows up and fucks an android. Further hijinks ensue. Volume 2 is the real treasure, it basically looks like the Cameron movie. Nice airbrushed art. Volume 3 is drawn by the Maxx dude but it sucks, Volume 1 is ok and has a weirdo ending.
Pretty much every good idea in 'Aliens Colonel Marines' and Alien Resurrection got lifted from Dark Horse's Aliens Volume 2.

Drake or Apone, hopefully.
IIRC, the actor who plays Apone doesn't want his likeness used. I could be wrong, but that would be a bummer if true as an Apone figure with a "look into my eye" action feature would be awesome. Drake would be cool, too.
Otherwise, none of the other marines (that haven't been made into figures yet) were really stand-outs. Maybe the female marine who panicked and torched Frost when the Alien jumped her from behind, lol.
The new Kung Fu Grip IMO

I think Ferro (the dropship pilot) would be cool.Quote:

Yeah... lets not talk about that big giant hole in the movie.
Why you got to bring your mom into this?

there is yet another line of plastic buttplugs for you guys to collect all the variations of

The VGA line isn't the laziest NECA cash run anymore!

"Thermal Vision" a.k.a. the cheapest paint job ever
Ewwww
I love that Vazquez's armor has the quote in Spanish!
This is coming in July for $95 and comes ready to assemble. It comes with an IDA that can store stuff, as well as a mini Harrier that's to scale with the IDA!

NECA wants all of our money
http://www.the-nextlevel.com/tnl/att...1&d=1464019779
Saw the Mikey at the studio last year, didn't know they were going all out. Hope Konami doesn't get this delayed like they have the Contra set.
EDIT: SDCC exclusive FUCK
Two separate 4 packs. One with the turtles, one with Shredder and the foot soldiers.
Yeah... I need to find an SDCC friend
http://necaonline.com/56438/blog/san..._medium=social
NECA usually puts a portion online for sale each day of the con at necaclub.com. That's where I'll be.
Ugh, I hate SDCC exclusives.
Also, I don't give a fuck about the Foot, pissed I have to buy a set of four just to get Shredder.
Should have just been four Shredders.
Shredder and Krang box set.
I'd buy that for a dollar.
What a load of shit. These exclusives make me not want to buy anything from NECA.
edit: These and the I'm sure forthcoming Aliens and AvP ones should be available to anyone who can prove they own the PCBs.
I'll take the purple one off your hands.Quote:

It's probably not their fault. Playmates/Nickelodeon are notoriously strict about outside companies doing stuff with the TMNT license. They probably told them that SDCC was the only option. And it is looking more like the con is the only option, as attendees wishing to get the sets have to preorder before the con.Quote:
