The 7" line to fit in with their Elvira, Universal Monsters and Hammer horror lines I want is What We do in the Shadows!
Nice choice... so, my question - movie figures or TV show figures? Or both? And once they got through most of that would you want some Wellington Paranormal figures to augment, or nah?
@panthercult I don't see why not both. The universes are the same. The movie characters appear in the show. Its the InTheShadowsVerse. I'm fine without Wellington Paranormal. I gave it 5 or so episodes and it never really stuck with me. Fan of many things Kiwi; Flying Nun records, even traveled there back in the 90s (pre LOTR travel boom) and loved it.
Neca could and should do a line of The Dark Crystal figures. Specially the netflix series, that was fantastic.
Oh, the things I'd do for What We Do In The Shadows Ultimates. Preferably the show- I love both, but the show has just had more time to grow on me, and I think the characters are a little more iconic, but I certainly wouldn't turn down movie figures. With the show, while there's plenty of memorable side characters, I'd really only need the main 6 or so- Guillermo, Nandor, Laszlo, Nadja, Colin, and the Guide. Make the charred torso Baron and the Sire one of the "accessory packs" (maybe throw in the witch skin hat and a couple other fun, memorable accessories), and I'd be cool ending the line there.
That would be a pretty good line up... though I wouldn't mind if they snuck in a Simon the Devious figure too. Maybe I'd just welcome a Nick Kroll action figure of any kind. Add Viago and Vladislav - a nod to the movies, but they each appear in multiple episodes of the show as well and that would be amazing.
I'm in! And does doll Nadja come in the accessory pack or is she packaged in with Nadja as an accessory? How hasn't someone already run with this?
Those are the main 6. I would be up for a proper Baron and Sire figures too. If nothing else NECA could do them really well and they would look cool. I could see a second Nadja in a completely different outfit and maybe a Dream Team jersey Nandor too.
I would say doll Nadja would come with Nadja, but definitely stick her in the accessory pack if not. I'd be up for a Simon the Devious; pair him in a wave with Jackie Daytona, normal human bartender, and you've got yourself a deal. Someone get NECA on the phone stat!
These look really cool to me, but I'm not a Maiden guy. If they ever go on clearance though, I'll be taking a closer look.

Well, I am--and I've been asking them to bring back the 7" articulated figures for years! This will more than make up for me being unable to track down the SiT staction Eddie.
Is this a bit of a rework of their old Somewhere In Time Eddie? It looks a bit dated, and that version of Eddie as an Ultimate has been a want of mine for years. I had the one from the early 2000's, and this seems to be a lot of reuse.
The samurai Iron Maiden looks cool. Don't care about Iron Maiden, but it would look cool with other lines.
@ashtalon same! If they were single packed I’d get the Samurai one to hang out with my Mythic Legion skelly bois, but I got no use for the skinless cyborg
The Iron Maiden set of figures is pretty cool looking. If they were just a bit chonkier I'd probably buy them but they just look to skinny and wispy to hang out credibly on my 1/10th shelves.
@doc-baghead I suppose you can use cyborg Eddie as some kind of alternate Deathlok. But yes, I would surely buy just the samurai Eddie. No real use or desire for the cyborg one.
