Dying to get a coffin

I like that the mini version of the coffin has a Jerusalem Cricket crawling out of it.

Is it worth it to contact NECA Customer Service? My Ultimate Dracula didn't include a cape. The store isn't answering me and I already tried the one email of NECA's I could find. It's so frustrating after waiting for such a cool figure.

They've helped me before, so yeah, no reason not to contact 'em. Where'd you get it from? The eBay/Amazon store?

I'll try again, bought from amoktime.com.

The NECA section at my local Targets are the lightest I've ever seen them, all that is left are a couple of Kongs, various band themed retro clothed dolls, a Remco inspired Mummy, and a few video game and Kenner inspired Aliens. I'm hoping this means they're owed a significant restock soon, with Dracula included. But I expect Drac is still a few months out from Target shelves, most online retailers have had stock sooner for the Universal Monster releases, and it looks like the release dates have shifted from January to February to March now.

A few Target stores near me have put their NECA section in with the regular action figures with the latest reset. There isn't much room for them anymore. Some still have an endcap in the toy section, and some are still with Electronics. Totally random.

[Detrimental_Fig]

There's one Target that has NECA and Funko stuff moved into a main aisle, but the majority still sits back in electronics. The main store I hit up has put a bunch of NECA stuff over on an endcap though. They keep getting sent boxes, and it sells, but not crazy fast. I guess that area was supposed to have a full eight feet, but they don't have it.

I think that it'd be neat if NECA got the rights to make The Wizard of Oz action figures and then made the Wicked Witch of the West. In my opinion, I think that she'd fit in well, with the Universal Monsters. <3

[Buttmunch]

I think McFarlane announced he was doing a wicked witch of the west at one point.

[Buttmunch]

Took me a bit to find it, but yep.

[Basil Elks]

Cool, would she scale nicely with the Universal Monsters? Is she poseable?

[Buttmunch]

No idea. Or if they’ll even see release. It looks like McFarlane going back to their staction figure roots with preposed, limited articulated statue-figures. They’ve roughly been the same size as NECA figures in the past.

[Mr potatohead]

Yipes! That doesn't look promising at all. I too would love WoO figures in a decent scale, but could care less if they scaled with NECA since they wouldn't match up at all aesthetically.
