I am torn, on the one hand my wish list for NECA Gargoyles was pretty comprehensive. In fact, here's the entire list: https://gargwiki.net/Category:Canon_characters

On the other hand, considering how NECA has been behaving as of late... I am fine never giving them another penny. I am not boycotting them, if they put out things I like I will buy them. But I am just as happy never giving them another penny.

Also, one of the co-hosts of the Voices from the Eyrie podcast did his own custom job:

Demona with the Three New Keys to Power from the recent comics (Gungnir, Puck's flute, and Cleopatra's Necklace)

And Demona with a custom figure of Antoinette Dracon (a new character from the comics)

And Djordje Djokovic showed off a sculpt for Hudson's cloaked wings. But no hope for the line's future.

At this point, I'm just going to keep hoping they'll sell me a set of cape wings for all of the Gargoyles released and call it a day there.

Djokovic also mentioned he's sculpted other characters for NECA that have never been shown. Still salty those caped wings for Hudson didn't get released with Lexington as was the initial plan (or at least, it was planned that someone's wings would come with him). We'll see if they do a checklist in the coming days. If there's nothing to add from last year then they might not do one for 2025.

I don’t think we’re getting a checklist this year, all the released figures were on the 2023 list and aside from the Ben Cooper kids checklist there haven’t been any reveals so far. We’ll probably get an Alien checklist tomorrow with the Romulus figures and a cartoon Turtles on Tuesday which will probably actually have reveals on it…so that’s only three unknown list for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday and one of those is probably going to be an all encompassing Ultimates Checklist. 

Now not getting a checklist isn’t a big deal, there’s a lot of signs the line isn’t dead just delayed… but if Gargoyles gets folded into the all encompassing Ultimates list, it’s over.

I think they left some characters off of last year's list (MacBeth? I don't actually save these things) so if they want to do a new one they could, but I am not expecting one. Not that I know what to expect of the final four days other than 2 of them are probably Turtles (Toon and Comic). I suppose one could be a Toony Terrors list and another could be Gremlins. There are probably lines I'm blanking on too. Not getting a new one isn't confirmation of anything, but we may never get confirmation either. No new one would just be yet another sign the line is either dead or on life support.

Like I keep saying, if this is the end of the line then I am disappointed but not sad. We got all the main characters and a line can easily get canned without doing even that (SH Figuarts, where's my Goemon?)

I am not expecting more, but I'll be pleasantly surprised if more get released.

I am hoping my order of Detective Broadway with BBTS comes through.  It's been pushed back so many times.

If you can get it from another source I would recommend doing so if you really want it.  I'm currently going on 20 months / nearly 2 years waiting on some Mythic Legions hands I ordered from BBTS.  I was hopeful that my purchase of Marvel Legends Retro Beast would come through so I wouldn't have to pay $120+ for him as he is now, but that of course fell through (along w/ my Retro Symbiote Spiderman, thankfully the Secret Wars one resolves that issue).  I don't place any added faith in BBTS anymore and have started using Entertainment Earth given it's closer proximity to my side of the country and their free shipping criteria.  $4 shipping from BBTS was great at one time, but it's taking about 2 weeks from shipment date to actual arrival now, so I place them only slightly above Pulse in most regards.

@jtmarsh Thanks for the info.  I'll see if I can find one somewhere else for a decent price.

@doober they may have already had him up, but NECA has been putting up a different assortment of figures on their site every day until Christmas. They're all in stock sales. Their shipping isn't cheap, but if you just really want the figure and he shows up then at least you can get it. I've also personally seen the figure stocked at FYE stores, but they upcharge the hell out of it (50 bucks at the last one I was in). He'll probably end up "on sale" soon, but probably for $40 and still over MSRP like all of the other NECA figures I saw there.

If you can check Targets, I've seen Detective Broadway at a number of local ones within the last month or so.

@salemcrow My Target has completely eliminated their NECA stuff.

Are these by chance the skeleton or knight hands?

If it is, I’m going on two years of waiting of having pre-paid directly to the Horsemen for those hands and still not received them! That’s not a Big Bad issue, it’s a 4H issue.

Edit to avoid a double post:
Ultimates checklists today, Gargoyles wasn’t folded into it.

Calling it now, but we’ll see what happens in March: Last year’s check list saying the line had no signs of stopping, saying at SDCC Macbeth and Coldstone were still coming, Djorde having more unseen sculpts done, NECA not folding the figures back into the Ultimates checklist like they did with BTTF and ET … the line isn’t dead. It’s not progressing as fast as some of us would like, but signs are there it’s not over.

it’s worth noting no other checklist uses grandiose terms like Gargoyles check list, I scrolled back to the last BTTF checklist (which didn’t include items that would not be released like the animated DeLorean) and it just said “we made so many products! Find them in stores!” No promise of more figures even though we demand cowboy versions, dammit!

@misfit He's not a figure I have to have.  The more expensive he is the more those closed wings don't matter to me.
