BBTS added Lexington to my Pile of Loot today.

That's interesting he still hasn't hit mine, and I was a first-day pre-order for him. I wonder what's happening, mind you I'm still waiting for their Xanatos and the Super7 Banjo Kazooie before I ship my pile of loot.

They only sat in their boxes in the Target bag for the entire week, but I finally opened my Steel Clan lol

What's the flight stand that is sturdy enough to support these? I plan to display the repaint headless to look like Xanatos isn't inside it, but there isn't room for another unless I get one of these up off the "ground." Is it the official NECA stand, or have people used others?

I use these! My robot has been hovering on one since June... no issues.

The standard NECA stand can support them as well, but I still don't really recommend that stand unless you just happen to have some hanging around.

I am still confused by some of the choices. None of the other gargoyles appear, no Elisa, no Xanatos...

if you play with the “Updated” Graphics the “Crimson Clan” that was an off model robot boss in stage 4 is replaced with a cartoon accurate Armored Xanatos… he still doesn’t say or do anything, but at least Xanatos is in the game now… too bad they left the same defeat animation in “updated” mode, so Xanatos blows the fuck up and is very clearly dead at the end of level 4, but hey! He’s there!

I’m also 90% certain they made the boss of level 1 (and 2, though his transformed look is a non-canon design) into Hakon (it looks like Hakon, but again he doesn’t say or do anything and still fights like fake-Thor from the old game) so I’ll give them minor points for TRYING to make a few more of the bosses into actual characters… too bad they couldn’t overtly make Level 3 into an homage to the Illuminati murder hotel, then at least all the bosses make sense and it’s truly “a bad Gargoyles game” and not just “a bad game that has a Gargoyle in it”

EDIT:

Hey! Here’s a great idea if Disney is going to waste money reskinning old games that have nothing to do with the Gargoyles Cartoon into modern remakes:

pay Capcom and remaster “Demon’s Crest” into “Gargoyles: Dark Ages”

Replace Red Armerer with Goliath and each crest just unlocks a different member of the clan to play as Ground is Broadway, Aerial is Brooklyn, Tidal is Lex, Legendary is Hudson, Ultimate is Demona (it’s set in 994, it’s okay! She’s still good!) change nothing else about it! Yeah, it makes zero sense in the actual Gargoyles canon but same with the actual Gargoyles game, but at least Demon’s Crest was fun!

I use Mezco stands for my Gargoyles and have had zero issues with them. I like them so much that I started using them for Marvel Legends as well because I like the height and aesthetically I think they're one of the better stands out there at the moment.

I just recently got Elisa & Xanatos, thanks to my most helpful friend Boy Wonder.  I know a lot of people seem to be shipping the humans, but I'm thrilled to have them!  Xanatos in particular is a ton of fun.  He poses really well for a suited body & makes great use of the blast effect from the Flash Gordon etc line.

(Beat Gargoyles game) I forgot in addition to being incredibly bad the game is also incredibly short… the amount of Steam refunds requested from people who roll credits are going be insane!

 

Anyway! An important thing to keep in mind about Xanatos is his neck is compatible with Dracula!!!

you want David in a tux to go with the Vows two pack?! HIS HEAD ON CARFAX DRACULA!!!

But even better, you want Bela Legosi in an armored winged battle suit?! Well if you don’t mind his neck is slightly longer than Xanatos’ then boy do I have good news for you!!!

While out looking for the white variant Last Ronin figure, been seeing Lexington, Angela, and video game Goliath at various Wal-Marts.  So if you haven't found Lex at your local Target, Walmart's catching up.  I will say, in true Walmart  "doesn't know what the fuck they're doing" fashion, the figures were either with the rest of the NECA figures or on another shelf further down with some other random stuff.

That sounds hilarious! Can you post pics of these swaps?

Got Elisa and Lexington from BBTS. Not sure why I was surprised Lexington’s package was proportionately smaller, but maybe I was expecting him to come with folded wings for someone else. Glad Elisa does, and I put those on Brooklyn with haste. I’d say I’m officially done with the line now.

Yea or nay on the Jim Henson's Dinosaurs?  I'm talking myself out of them as we speak because I can tell myself I only need the immediate family, and then I'm down the rabbit hole of needing the Grandma, Earl's friend Roy and their boss from the construction site played by Sherman Helmsly.  So that's 8 I know I'd be on the hook for.  Plus the Gargoyles line hasn't showed Owen yet, so I'd feel compelled to get the Smithers to Xanatos' Mr. Burns.

I want NECA to at least do all of the Sinclair family.  But Roy and Spike would be extra icing on the beautiful cake...Mr. Richfield and anything past that would be amazing.
