I'm fully aware most of the Halloween sequels were absolutely terrible, but Michael Myers has always been my favorite slasher.  I'm thrilled to see Neca wading deeper into the pool of different looks for him. 

Looks like NECA the license to the Dimension Films Halloweens with this reveal. If we get an Ultimate Halloween Resurrection Michael with alternate Busta Rhymes parts I'm gonna scream.

I will scream too.  With joy, as I throw Busta into the trash can.  Busta aside I do wish Neca would do better about making some of the final girls (or guys).  Do we really think that a '78 Laurie Strode, Tommy Jarvis, Nancy Thompson, or Sally Hardesty wouldn't sell?  Put them in a two pack or something but Michael, Jason, Freddy, and Leatherface need someone to chase.

Really want to see Part 6 Tommy Jarvis. I can't imagine it'd even be that hard to get Thom's likeness rights, they got it for the game and he's even appeared in fan films. They could even stick him in a two-pack with a Part 6 Jason that has a broken mask and a chain around his neck if they have to.

The red suit that's currently out is just a re-release of the older, unarticulated version.  The one that's coming out soon is Ultimate style articulated, but it's from the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice sequel, not the original film.

I was skipping around Toy Fair reaction videos today, and in the Toy Geek Dad, Day 2 video they happened to just mention that the issue NECA had with Roy Scheider's estate was that they didn't want to approve anything with his likeness that wasn't made in America?  First I'd heard of that particular detail, if that's the case.

This is what I heard from another source. Anything with his likeness has to be designed and manufactured in America.

Just got the shipping notice for the Beetlejuice Strip club. Totally thought this wasn't coming until the fall for some reason, so this is a huge shock, but very happy.

Well, the tariffs have hit.  I noticed that BBTS raised the prices on a number of pre-orders.  For now, they're still the old price in my order history, but I noticed, for example, that the two Jaws ultimates went from $36.99 to $40.99, the Howling werewolf went up $2.  $40.99 seems to be their new standard Ultimate price.

I got Dante's Inferno Friday. Didn't even know it shipped. While it does look ok, I can't suggest it. Two cardboard panels don't fit properly. Top one, 2nd in from the left keeps popping out the bottom corner. The door piece doesn't fit, period. It's maybe 1/16" too wide. Force it and the cardboard will bend/crease. I'll get to trimming it later, but damn, for the price, this should be perfect. It requires 3 AAA batteries, or a USB C cable (not included). The top section would have been so much better if it was maybe just an inch deeper. The girls are snug up there.

I don't hate it at all, and it does crack me up with the cheesecake women around it, but it is overpriced, and the cardboard pieces should have been plastic like the rest of it is. For the thousands of figures I own, I honestly thought I'd have a couple more cheesecake women figures.
