NECA Gargoyles

[Maximoff]

Found this old advertising insert in a copy of Nightmare Before Christmas on VHS.

I’m absolutely devastated Haulathon is basically over and not a single !@#$ Gargoyle was released.

Forgot deep dive wishlisting, if we can get out the ones I have on pre-order (not even the ones revealed/teased just the five standing orders) I’ll be impressed at this point.

Still two more Fridays left this month. And we'll get 'em. NECA's stuff is always late. Always.

Back in January, BBTS sent out an email saying Brooklyn and Broadway were pushed back to March. We are nearing the end of March though, so it is looking less and less likely to happen.

Earlier this month on Facebook, someone who has a store said that NECA's reps reached out to him and said they were delayed until May. I don't know how true that is, or if it was in regards to their store specificaly. Just another potential peice of information.

EE moved all of my March oders back to April. :-(
(Not just Gargoyles; anything that was listed as March including tons of MOTU)

[spideyboy1111]

Yeah as of right now BBTS has a Gargoyle figure listed every month...

- Broadway (March)
- Brooklyn (April)
- Steel Clan (May)
- Xanatos (June)
- Elisa (July)

I think we will be lucky at this rate getting more than 2 of these figures by June/July to be honest.

And Angela is now up for pre-order! Just need Lex and that's the entire clan as of "Hunter's Moon Part Three".

[PantherCult]

Man.... I was all ready to take a principled stand and not pre-order Angela with the stupid spread wings... but then they go an include the egg and the baby Angela figure. Sigh. Fine, NECA you got me.

But please, NECA, do me a favor and release a "relaxed wings" set for the clan (not caped wings, just folded) so I don't have to buy a bunch of extra figures to display these the way I want.

Go one further:
Character specific accessory packs!

Relaxed wings, alternate expression heads, character specific accessories that they didn’t include before (half a Phoenix Gate for Goliath and Demona, the whole Gate for Brooklyn, some more food for Broadway and an unrelated gun for no reason, a TV remote and hand to hold it for Hudson)

I guess Bronx and Lex can share an accessory pack since they don’t have folded wings… but give the Robots and the Humans their OWN accessory packs! I’m fine with making everyone buy humans for cape wings, since that’s just the nature of the industry these days… but making someone buy accessories they don’t want for a character they don’t want to get a smiling Lex is TOO FAR!!!!

I agree, I know I keep saying I'm all in on this line, but I don't want to have to buy anyone from Goliath Chronicles... so, yeah, sorry NECA, I'm not buying Egon Pax to get a romantic head for Goliath to put on him while he flies over my living room carrying Elisa.

NECA’s anticipated ship date for Angela of May is so optimistic that it must be real. Here’s hoping since the amount of preorders on this line is starting to feel like a collection of NFTs.

Since there's less original parts needed for her, I can see her being leap frogging ahead of some scheduled before her.

[Misfit]

Possible. Or she was meant for this Haulathon thing and was late. Usually, we see preorders when the retail partners get their window to order which is either pre or early in the production timeline so there’s room to adjust the order. With it going up with such a quick turnaround, production must be done and the figure is in transit or about to get loaded into a container. Or the release date is just flat wrong.

[Whitehawk345]

It's clear that something happened during the manufacturing process. I take this with a grain of salt, but someone on Facebook who claimed to be a retailer said Brooklyn was delayed due to QC issues they're trying to correct.

TMNT is the clear priority line, I get it... it's NECA's biggest cashcow. But they're scraping the bottom of the barrel of the '87 cartoon at this point; while Gargoyles has barely gotten started.

[Dr Baghead]

They needed an extra year to crack that “Brooklyn but with a neck” code

I hate waiting, but I'd rather they get it right. I've needed an upgrade from my old Brooklyn figure for over twenty years.

That said, sounds like I'll have to send my Pile of Loot on through if he ain't arriving until April.

[DisneyBoy]

Angela's face is not quite right.

David looks ok.

Elisa has chubby cheeks for some reason.

I'm loving the accessories and the sheer fact these characters are getting made but...this line isn't for me. Wish they were cartoon style. Sigh.
