Right? Beetlejuice has a wardrobe as big as Padme's.

Unfortunately, I can't get my hopes up for NECA going all-in on Beetlejuice Ultimates.  Why are they re-releasing the old ones if they intend to turn around and re-do them?  And the black-and-white suit one, according to their Instagram today, is getting a second re-release along with a journal/prop replica of the Handbook For the Recently Deceased.  I know they showed an Ultimate of the Juice with all the spikes at SDCC, but I believe they said it was coming with this diorama and exclusive to the NECA Store, so it's not gonna be cheap:

I'm less interested in this particular figure than in the fact that it says she'll be available first as part of Target's Fall Geek-Out.  THat event is currently going on, but NECA hasn't been any of the weekly drops yet.  So I guess we can expect them to be next week's maybe?

Ah, M3gan. What a goofy guilty pleasure of a movie. Not sure if it's one I need to pick up right away or at full price, but I know I'll add her to the collection eventually. I like that in-between head, with the big diagonal scar and the runny mascara. That'll probably be my go-to head for her.

The Krampus figures coming out are my main priority, and since they're far pricier than the normal figures, I gotta see how things are looking after adding them to the shelf. But how cool that they did M3gan. Part of me wishes they'd give Abigail the same treatment, but that was nowhere near the pop culture moment that M3gan was. But she got a Funko Pop, so maybe we'll at least see an Abigail Toony Terrors down the line.

Can't tell from the pics, but are any of the gorilla heads new sculpts?  I'm sure they aren't, but I'd buy if they were.

They have certainly been able to get their money's worth out of that TV set sculpt. That one might be the most tempting Alf yet, but I'm gong to do my best to remain strong and not start another collection that I don't have room for.

Looks like the black-and-white Count Orlok (Nosferatu) is another Geek-Out item.  NECA must be this Friday if they're doing these daily reveals now, right?

Not seeing an Alien/Aliens dedicated thread anymore, so I'm asking this here: Does anyone here have any experience with KOs of the various NECA Alien Xenomorphs? I have a decent collection of Xenos, but I've been thinking about going back and getting some I missed like Covenant, AvP, Isolation, Resurrection etc. I know the KOs are not going to be as good of quality as a legit NECA figure, but are they at least passable to put into a collection, or should I just skip them and not waste the money?

I'll piggyback on Gill's question. Always wondered the same. I'll forever kick myself that I got into the line way, way after NECA's AvP line. Say what you want about the movies, but I had the original McFarlane figures growing up and absolutely loved them (despite often making myself bleed from the Pred's crazy blades). I always wanted better, more "action figure-y" renditions of them, but I didn't find out about NECA's (or Hiya's) offerings until far too late, and now they're all stupid expensive.

@joshsquash729 Well, I bit the bullet and ordered a cheap KO of the Grid Xeno from AvP. I'll let you know how it turns out...probably will take a while to get here.

Shoulda known this week's Geek-Out wouldn't be NECA.  Not while Target Circle's got a 15% off Toys deal going...

Buddy of mine got a shipping notice for his Hammer Dracula today.  Hoping for one myself, but cool that they seem to be releasing now.

I got my shipping notice for the Christopher Lee Draculas today, should be here next week.

also, pleased to say I’m not longer a “completionist” on the Ben Cooper Halloween kids because there’s no way in Hell I’m spending $40 after tax and shipping on that glowing skeleton girl. Thank you, NECA! (And no, that’s not sarcasm, I love when toys say “here’s the line, will you cross it?” plainly and clearly!)

@doc-baghead What the hell happened to series 2 of Ben Cooper kids? Makes no sense.
