Sesame Street figures are being discussed in the Muppets thread. 

For so long, I’ve been wishing for NECA to handle Pee Wee Herman figures. Looks like I got my wish. The head he’s wearing looks odd, but the other additional heads look right. I wish he came with his Big Adventure bike. But I’ll take it.

Yeah, I was wondering who the sculpted that Pee Wee as it looks nothing like Reubens.  Hope it's just how this model was painted as that can make a huge difference.

So much good stuff.  If I can't get a TCM2 Leatherface, this is the next best thing.

I think the alternate heads are a bit better:

Pretty bummed for yet another con without any new product for The Thing.  Guess that's about wrapped up already then?  Find it hard to believe we didn't at least get a spider-head, though I wanted so much more...

The NECA store updated with a rewards program.  They also gave me a shitload of points and I guess I'm a Premium member for spendin' money on there?  This is all news to me.  But I can apparently pick out a free figure from a lineup (mostly Gargoyles and Universal Monsters I already have) using these points.

They're definitely more interested in mainstream stuff these days with Turtles,  Sesame street, Dinosaurs, Golden Girls, Murder she wrote, Alf, Pee Wee,  and Gargoyles  

It sucks but get it. if that's what pays the bills. Still, I'm glad I hung on to my Movie Maniacs Thing stuff.

If we can get Pee Wee, Bob Ross, the Golden Girls etc. hopefully we can see an Ernest P. Worrell figure some day!

Neca would be perfect for a Mr. Bean figure. I would buy it instantly.

My top 3 curveball figure wants from Neca would be:

Ernest P. Worrell (with Rimshot)

Fred Rogers (with a couple of alt hands that are puppets)

Mr. Bean

(Honorable mentions go to Dolly Parton and Steve Irwin)

@cmoney  I wouldn't rule anything out, per se. I think Blaine or someone mentioned around the time of the Dog-Thing that they had plans for more, it just depended on how it sold. I'd have to imagine the various Thing creatures are a bit more involved than any of the human/humanoid figures. Heck, we saw how long it took for the Krampus figures to come about after being announced. We also know NECA isn't afraid to take a little (or long) break between releases in a line. Heck, Funko just announced new Thing pops, so there's definitely interest in the line. I think it's a safe bet we'll see more.

On another note, I'm glad they showed off the Hannibal in straitjacket again. If I'm gonna have to have a re-released, barely articulated Hannibal, that's the version I want.

I absolutely want them to make an Ultimates version of Elvira. The retro is too big, but she's a big want in the Ultimates scale. They've been going hard with her, so I'm hoping we get her eventually.

I don't know if this has anything to do with that or not, but I went to see how much they would charge me shipping for one of those Christopher Lee Dracula figures, and ... they offered free shipping?  That seems new.

Neca has shown off a figure and accessory set for Alien Romulus:

Alien: Romulus Bundle from NECA - The Toyark - News

Everything looks really good, but that bundle pricing makes it an easy pass. I'll wait and just get the Xenomorph on it's own. I hope this is just the beginning of a whole line for this movie. That said, with Prey still only having it's Predator made into a figure, I'm doing my best to keep my expectations low.

Out of curiosity, does anyone recognize the figure pictured with the new facehugger on it?
