On the topic of The Howling. the Neca version is better than the syndicate version BUT it still doesnt look like the actual Wolf from the movie, he was more hairy (frizzy style hair, see pic below) I would need to see more pics of the Howling from Neca

What you guys think?

The wolves in the Howling are all over the place, some shots of it I love, and others less so.  NECA's is a good look, maybe it'll have different heads for different appearances, but I'm glad it doesn't look like the pic you posted...

One of my fave shots:

But then you get shots like this that I don't like at all:

I saw a leaked pic of the "tour guide" version of Beetlejuice. ill pass on that one but if they do the maroon "wedding suit" version of BJ, ill buy it.

The only images I've seen today were shared by Preternia from someone who FOUND IT at a Walmart store, so not exactly a leak.

In fairness, it's a bit confusing that you specified seeing a "leaked" image of a figure we've known about and that has been officially available to order for weeks now.

It was a leaked pic at some point. Anywho, i love the maroon wedding suit which he had in the movie when he married Deetz. Beetlejuice is one of my top 20 movies for sure. Cant wait till neca takes out the classic striped suit, crossing fingers.

Besides the updated Ultimate Leatherface, there is another (finale) version coming.  That updated version is tempting for the new accessories.

I wish we could get the Cook, or Nubbins (the Hitchhiker).

I saw on Reddit yesterday that a new Bloody Disgusting display was hitting Walmart stores and the Ardath Bey and Ultimate Leatherface figures were in it.  I found the listings on the app and saw they were available at my Walmart so I drove up there but they only had the old Bloody Disgusting display sitting there mostly empty.  Later on that day I just did a pick up order, expecting it to be cancelled but surprisingly they filled it.

Also in the display appears to be the scorched Xeno, the bloody Predator, Cap Spaulding Ben Cooper kid, Orlok Ben Cooper Kid, and the Krampus Ben Cooper kid.

The new Leatherface is a great correction of scale injustice.  Putting him next to the original one looks like "Bring your little brother to work day".

Hmm, how did you find them in the app?  I can't get any searches to return results.  Specifically the Ardeth Bey Mummy.

EDIT: Oh, judging by the pic, maybe you didn't find the Mummy?  Or just weren't interested?

I did find him but just didn't snap a pic. Also I have no idea how people find these in the app. I looked forever and finally someone posted on Reddit.

Thanks for the links!  Not available at any of my stores, but I'll keep an eye on 'em.

I was hoping the new Invisible Man would be a part of this display too but unless he was just missing in the picture I saw that someone posted, then he isn't.  I'll probably actually go by the store tomorrow morning before work and look at the display.  If all 5 of that wave of Ben Cooper kids had been there I would have bought them as well, but I can't see the sense in buying 3 of 5 when online stores only sell the set of 5 so how would you ever get the other 2 without buying another set?

It's a great hobby, isn't it? 🙂

And speaking of the Ben Cooper kids, a couple weeks back I came across some discussion on reddit of something I hadn't noticed before: NECA posted a checklist of the figures that included one in a Cronenberg The Fly costume that never got released.  All the figures around it, presumably in its wave, did get released (and said wave had only four figures instead of the usual five), so speculation abounds.  I hope something didn't fall through, because I would be VERY glad if NECA had managed to get The Fly for other figure formats as well...

Oh yeah I remember seeing that but I didn't pay much attention to who was surrounding him.  I just assumed he hadn't come out yet but that is weird.  I would love to have an Ultimate Brundlefly on the horror shelf so maybe they do have the license.
