I'm probably more excited about these than I should be. I absolutely love them. I may buy 2 sets, just to leave one carded.
I was kind of uninterested until I saw them in person. They looked way better than I expected in hand. Now I plan on getting the whole line.
Yeah, I like 'em too. A lot! Glad to see the Jason figure wasn't affected by the lawsuit and is still on it's way.
BTW, does anyone know if that one artist is still whining about NECA "ripping off" his designs for this line of figures? Designs, it has been astutely pointed out, that said "artist" himself used established and copyrighted intellectual properties to create and make money off of? And to which NECA's designs only bear a vague passing resemblance at best?
I don't know how I feel about these, normally I don't like cutesy/cartoony mixed with horror, however these are kind of cool, they really do seem like they belong in a Scooby doo episode, which is what's appealing to me, so maybe I'll pick them up, definitely picking up pinhead though, one can never have enough Hellraiser merch.
