	Kristen eats braaaains Kristen Pfaff	I remember reading that there was no chance of Sweeney Todd figures right now, but I was wondering if there will EVER be a chance we might get to see them? That's my only question :)   Posted by Kristen eats braaaains on Friday, February 29, 2008 - 9:19 PM [Reply to this]

	NECA	I suppose there is always a chance but not any time soon   Posted by NECA on Friday, February 29, 2008 - 9:41 PM [Reply to this]

	Gabe Gabe LaPeer	First, thank you for the exorcist. 1. Whatever happened to the Ring boxset? 2. Why doesn't Tim Burton want Sweeney Todd figures? 3. Any more CC or HOF announcements for NYTF and SDCC? Thanks, Randy ---Gabe   Posted by Gabe on Friday, February 29, 2008 - 9:19 PM [Reply to this]

	NECA	1) Licensing fell through between Dreamworks US and original Ringu Japan owners 2) I don't know 3) Maybe at SDCC - not at NYCC   Posted by NECA on Friday, February 29, 2008 - 9:42 PM [Reply to this]

	Creature SH S.-H. Hueske	hello ! First of all, let me say that I'm deeply, deeply impressed by your Raziel. Everything that I found wrong about Kain is very right about Raziel... And then a lot more on top of it ! Wonderful work. I also love that you're venturing into more articulated figures, apparently depending on the potential per character - A great decision in my eyes. As for the questions: 1: Can we hope for more characters from the Legacy of Kain series, or is that it ? 2: After seeing your great Beetlejuice proto - Which will hurt my wallet down the line for sure - in Toyfair coverage, I have to wonder: Are there any plans for Lydia Deetz from the same movie ? 3: With the new Ghostbusters videogame coming in fall, is there any chance of you guys picking that particular license up again ? (Re-releases would be fine, too - It's just too hard to get Stay Puft for a less-than-painful price these days)   Posted by Creature SH on Friday, February 29, 2008 - 9:29 PM [Reply to this]

	NECA	1) It's possible but not likely until there is a new game in the series 2) We're considering Lydia but the licensing is trickier for use of her likeness 3) We're looking into any and all options to try and do more GB figures - we want it as much if not more then you guys, I swear   Posted by NECA on Friday, February 29, 2008 - 9:44 PM [Reply to this]

	Creature SH S.-H. Hueske	Thank you ! I appreciate the effort and honesty.   Posted by Creature SH on Friday, February 29, 2008 - 11:41 PM [Reply to this]

	J.D. Larabee (Beetoons.8k.com) J.D. Larabee	1. More Dark Crystal? 2. Haw many knives are "usable"/Removable on Machette? 3. How do we talk you into coming and doing some displays at Ohiocomicon.net in October 2008??? (Serious about this one...contact me!!!!) Bee Well J.D. "The Bee" Larabee   Posted by J.D.

	NECA	1) For now Chamberlain - we'll see where it goes from there 2) 2 - we're trying to get the car roof base in there for the same low price 3) I will get back to you about OH. October is tough because of Fall Toy Fair   Posted by NECA on Friday, February 29, 2008 - 9:46 PM [Reply to this]

	Luke Y. Thompson	First off, my compliments on everything shown this year. Possibly the best Cult Classics line-up ever. 1. I LOVE the black-and-white Ninja Turtle -- curious as to more details (shipping time, is it a variant, etc.) 2. The Shaw brothers line is unreal, and with all that articulation must have been expensive to produce, but at the same time I worry that the property isn't that well known to retailers or casual consumers. Can you give us a reasonable assurance that these figures will actually see the light of day? 3. There has been mention of an 18" Betelgeuse, which I would totally buy. However, in previous interviews, you've said that an 18" Predator might be impractical due to costs and the market, so I'm wondering -- why is an 18" Betelgeuse more viable than an 18" Predator, if indeed it is? (note that I would buy both).   Posted by Luke Y. Thompson on Friday, February 29, 2008 - 9:49 PM [Reply to this]

	NECA	1) details TBA. Most likely a limited release "Series 1.5" type of thing of all 4 turtles before we release a full out Series 2 2) We're still getting orders on this series and you are 100% correct it is obscure or niche. We're doing it very economically by re-using most of the body parts and articulation over and over and adding separate pcs to make them look very different from one another. I will keep you posted on the development 3) I would love to make an 18" Predator but it's not likely right now because he costs way too much. Since you mention BJ, let's compare the 2 - the Predator by design is a bigger figure in terms of his overall proportions plus he has a lot more pcs and a lot more deco so he = more $$$ If we can find a way to produce him we will but we are in the business of making affordable figures. 18" for $40 retail is a great deal and that is why they have been so successful. We can't produce the Predator and have him retail for $40 right now, it's just not possible. We're looking at ways to minimize the articulation and have him more pre-posed and then drafting some of the sep pcs to the body but this takes time and involves a lot of back & forth to reach the necessary price.   Posted by NECA on Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 12:51 AM [Reply to this]

	NECA	we're working on some things now to try and price him affordably, not as many people are willing to spend $80+ as you think.   Posted by NECA on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 10:42 PM [Reply to this]

	NECA	we're pricing Marcus in a 12" and 18" format right now odds are good you will see a larger format Marcus for Gears 2   Posted by NECA on Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 12:52 AM [Reply to this]

	darth cravin allen lindley	again thanks for the exorcist it was way over due 1.is there any chance we will see a howling werewolf in cult classics any time soon 2.will neca ever branch out into the more obscure horror like my bloody valentine or return of the living dead.mbv is tarintinos favorite horror film a true cult classic. 3.since sota droped the ball on tremors and are losing the rights this year .any chance you guys pick it up and give us the box set sota promised   Posted by darth cravin on Friday, February 29, 2008 - 9:57 PM [Reply to this]

	NECA	1) possible but definitely not anytime soon 2) very unlikely - the market is too small and we can't make these types of figures and have a successful business 3) again not likely. I appreciate the "B" movies as much as the next guy and I would love to make a Descent figure or something from Brotherhood of the Wolf but the bottom line is that making these figures gets more and more expensive each day and the niche stuff is not not economically feasible. There are figures we made 2-3 years ago like Ho-Tep that we could never make today because of rising manufacturing costs and retailers buying only the marquee titles that everyone knows   Posted by NECA on Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 12:55 AM [Reply to this]

	Kelly Tindall Kelly Tindall	1. Is there any chance of a set of 4-6 Mousers with the TMNT line if the series is successful?   Posted by Kelly Tindall on Friday, February 29, 2008 - 10:05 PM [Reply to this]

	NECA	possible for the future   Posted by NECA on Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 12:56 AM [Reply to this]

	Rich	As usuall my question is about 18"ers. Any chance we'll see an 18" Conan or Regan. Also will u be at this years NYCC or licensing show   Posted by Rich on Friday, February 29, 2008 - 10:06 PM [Reply to this]

	NECA	We're looking into an 18" Conan for sure I don't think Regan will see 18" release I will be at NYCC and Licensing We have something cool lined up for NYCC - an announcement is coming soon   Posted by NECA on Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 12:57 AM [Reply to this]

		1- Any chance we'll see a Luna Lovegood and Ginny Weasley soon?? 2- Awesome job on the Turtles line. 3- What are the chances of you guys doing a line of Horror Movie Girls(syd from Scream, Nancy from A Nightmare On Elm Street?)   Posted by on Friday, February 29, 2008 - 10:24 PM [Reply to this]

	NECA	1) working on Ginny now for HBP line 2) Thanks much! 3) we don't have those licenses currently so it won't happen anytime soon. I would put Halloween's Strode at the top of the list though   Posted by NECA on Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 12:58 AM [Reply to this]

	Ryan	I totally agree here, LUNA LUNA LUNA!!! She is seriously one of the best charecter in the entire series   Posted by Ryan on Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 2:07 AM [Reply to this]

	peets	Hi Randy! Can we expect more Robocop products by your company in the near future? figures like: 1 ED-209 18inch? 2 Complete battle damaged Robocop with Cobra assault cannon? 3 or a Clarence Boddicker figure with cobra assault cannon? greetings peets.   Posted by peets on Friday, February 29, 2008 - 10:29 PM [Reply to this]

	NECA	sorry to say but no more Robocop for the time being   Posted by NECA on Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 1:01 AM [Reply to this]

	Captain Awesome Steve Ryan	Hey. The TMNT and Gears of War lines have me absolutely psyched. 1. What are the possibilities of 12 inch (or, however unlikely) Turtles? 2. When can we expect word on more figures from The Princess Bride (ie: more figures and possibly an 18 inch Westley) 3. Anything more from the Army of Darkness license (and does the license include anything from the first 2 Evil Dead movies?) thanks guys!   Posted by Captain Awesome on Friday, February 29, 2008 - 10:30 PM [Reply to this]

	NECA	1) larger turtles are possible but more like 10" scale (same as prototypes) if the sales and interest is high enough 2) maybe at NYCC 3) I hope we get to a Hero Ash and Possessed Sheila 2 pack but this year keeps getting more and more full   Posted by NECA on Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 1:02 AM [Reply to this]

	The Boomtown Champ!!	MORE 300 FIGURES!!!!!!   Posted by The Boomtown Champ!! on Friday, February 29, 2008 - 10:31 PM [Reply to this]

	NECA	1) jumping the gun a little here - the regular version is months away still 2) not sure on the boomer yet but I hope so. details on the exploded head will be announced once it is all final. GOW 2 figures are a definite 3) we'll keep them in mind - believe me Bioshock is a fave!   Posted by NECA on Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 1:05 AM [Reply to this]

	Ryan	1> Will there be any more Saga Charecter/boxed Sets for Harry Potter before Half Blood Prince? 2> Ive Heard some rumors about Half Blood Prince about Ginny, and also a Kreacher/Dobby pack being released for it. Could you possibly give us a little information about series 1 harry potter half blood prince? 3.> Is it at all possible to Do Inferi/Inferi Variatant figures for Half Blood Prince? i guarentte they will be the most badass of the whole movie...oh and Fenrir Greyback...So that way Bellatrix and Fenrir can stand behind, a New Half Blood Prince Voldemort? Possibly...Please...lol   Posted by Ryan on Friday, February 29, 2008 - 11:06 PM [Reply to this]

	NECA	1) Yes, there is a Year 2 Boxed set that will include Harry, Dumbledore (R. Harris version), Fawkes, Perch, Sorting Hat, and sword. 2) Still in the planning stages - sorry 3) We'll see what we can do. Greyback is definitely at the top of our to do list   Posted by NECA on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 10:45 PM [Reply to this]

	graciano joe graciano	I'm sure you get this question all the time but: 1: when are we going to see a clock orange boxset let alone maybe just an alex figure? 2: is it possible to do a series based on a movie just itself rather than cult classics line? i.e a robocop series featuring robocop, robocop 2 and ed 209. 3: can you please make an invaders from mars series the tobe hooper version I know it's not a question but dammit I would kill to see one.   Posted by graciano on Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 12:03 AM [Reply to this]

	NECA	1) When it is available for licensing, at the moment nothing Kubrick is. 2) If there was enough interest and demand (300, Grindhouse, Hellraiser, etc) 3) I don't think you will ever see this one from us   Posted by NECA on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 10:47 PM [Reply to this]

	Lucas [BFL]	1. What's the status of the Pulp Fiction license? Will we ever see figures to go along with the Ge-omes? 2. Any chance you guys would do some Kurt Russel licenses? A Snake Plissken figure along with Jack Burton from BTiLT are two that would seem to be a perfect fit for CC. Oh, and your Stuntman Mike figure looks awesome, I can't wait to pick it up. 3. Do you guys plan on making a figure of the original Predator? I realize that the AvP:R one was the most expensive figure you made, but is there any possibility? And what about the Aliens license for figures like Ripley and Hicks?   Posted by Lucas [BFL] on Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 12:06 AM [Reply to this]

	NECA	1) I hope so but for now no progress has been made on this license 2) Thanks and I would love to do a good Jack Burton and better Snake one day 3) An original Predator would be nice and may happen someday but not anytime soon. We're still suffering from the expense of the AvP:R versions of the Predator No progress on humans from Alien(s) or Predator but we're looking into it   Posted by NECA on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 10:50 PM [Reply to this]

	Steve-Dancing Sweety-Boy Steve Smith	1-Any plans for AVP-R after series 3? 2-How/when/where will the "sparking" stealth Predator variant be released? 3-Is there a chance we may see a highly articulated Predator figure? With your recent dabbles in super-articulation(TMNT, Shaw Bros.) I was wondering if it could be a trend?   Posted by Steve-Dancing Sweety-Boy on Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 12:07 AM [Reply to this]

	NECA	1) Possibly something for Comic-Con - we're working on it now and if it looks good you'll know about it soon enough 2) Details are on necaonline.com right now 3) Our Predator from AvP:R is the most articulated you will see as far as the Predator goes   Posted by NECA on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 10:52 PM [Reply to this]

	XL	1) With the new God of War game coming to the PSP; is there any plans of making more God of War figures? (Zeus, Kratos w/ Icaris wings, Aires, Sisters of fate, Barbarian King, etc.) Possibilities are endless. 2) With Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles already being out and RE 5 on the way are there any RE figures in the making or future plans for some? We need a Wesker and a S.T.A.R.S boxed set. 3) Any chance of picking up the rights to Big Trouble in Little China?   Posted by XL on Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 12:13 AM [Reply to this]

	NECA	1) There may be more Kratos in the future but I don't think you will see anyone/thing else 2) We're pretty full right now and we're waiting to learn more about RE5 3) I hope to someday   Posted by NECA on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 10:54 PM [Reply to this]

	The Big George	Hi Randy, Great licenses this year as always, especially "The Exorcist", TMNT, Movie Conan and AvP. Lookin' forward to collecting them all! Alrighty, here are da questions: 1. Are there any plans for new Hellraiser figures this year (The Engineer boxset, new Cenobites, CC Hall of Fame repaints)? 2. Are there plans for branching out into the other films of the Alien franchise? Movie accurate figures of the Alien Queen and the Dog Alien would rock. 3. What do you think of "The Fly" franchise? Is there a chance that we could see Brundlefly and/or Martinfly in a future Cult Classics lineup? Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions and for all the great figures! :)   Posted by The Big George on Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 12:25 AM [Reply to this]

	NECA	1) No plans right now, we're looking at what is happening with the re-make and evaluating what we should release or re-release. 2) Maybe in the future since you're right the stuff that is out there is not very accurate 3) I love the Fly - and Fly 2 not so much. I don't think there is much interest in either based on how well the McF versions did in the past You're very welcome!   Posted by NECA on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 10:56 PM [Reply to this]

	NECA	1) I'd be all over the westerns if we could get the rights 2) I think that is too old, we find that once we go before the 80's we're in trouble (there are some exceptions to this but very few) 3) Not big on "comedy" based action figures, sorry.   Posted by NECA on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 11:02 PM [Reply to this]

	ElliØt	1. any chance of Silent Hill figures in player select? 2. any news period on future player select licenses? 3. how do you cope with being so awesome?   Posted by ElliØt on Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 12:44 AM [Reply to this]

	NECA	1) Definitely a chance 2) We're sculpting 3 new video game based figures now - details soon 3) rhetorical right ;)   Posted by NECA on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 11:07 PM [Reply to this]

	C.C.	Thank you for this oppurtunity. -What is the story with the Dante from player select, is he still coming and what type of articulation will he have if he comes out? -I love the Turtles, but do they all have ways to store their weapons on their belts?   Posted by C.C. on Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 12:47 AM [Reply to this]

	NECA	Dante has tons of articulation - maybe the most we have ever done. Still working on approval process with Capcom Japan - we'll keep you posted on this Thanks - we love the turtles too and yes the belts are softer plastic and are separate pcs so you should be able to slide the weapons into the belts with ease   Posted by NECA on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 11:05 PM [Reply to this]

	Nimy	Thanks for taking the time to answer these! 1) Any chance we'll see Voldemort, the Death Eaters and others released in 3"? 2) How 'bout some Rocky Horror Picture Show figures? Thanks again!   Posted by Nimy on Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 12:52 AM [Reply to this]

	NECA	1) Yes we're looking at our plans for the 3" format right now 2) While I would love to do this historically the merchandise has not done well, I'd be willing to give it a try someday though and you are welcome   Posted by NECA on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 11:09 PM [Reply to this]

	Matt the Destroyer	Thanks again for doing this for us fans and congrats on a STELLAR Toy Fare. 1. Assuming you get the go ahead on the Ghostbusters license, what would be your ideal series 1 and 2 line-up. Assuming you get rights to everything, that is. It's just for fun. I'd like to know what figures you would most like to make... 2. Although asked above about Lydia Deetz, are there any other figures on tap for your BeetleJuice license? (Besides 3 BeetleJuice's and MAYBE Lydia) I'd love for you to revisit your beetlejuice figures from earlier in the decade... you know, updated sculps and all! *ahem* Stretched faced Adam and Barbra *ahem* 3. My last question is why do you, NECA, rock so freekin' hard?   Posted by Matt the Destroyer on Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 1:26 AM [Reply to this]

	NECA	1) Ideally I would love to do one series with all 4 guys and offer slimed versions as variants, with the game coming and the 25th Anniversary next year we're doing everything we can to try and make something happen here. 2) Had I been at NECA back in those days the BJ line would have looked a lot different. Anyway for now we're tackling just the title ghost himself and we'll see what happens from there 3) Is there any other way to rock??   Posted by NECA on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 11:12 PM [Reply to this]
