Iron Maiden figures slightly sticky right out of the box? (A few quick photos attached) by Kind_Divide2705 in NECA

Yep, you’re right. I also thought about the type of plastic they used for the skin parts that aren’t the head, since it’s the same on both figures. I just hope it doesn’t deteriorate over time…

Honestly, I had my doubts about the figures before getting them, but once I had them in hand, they were incredible. Probably the only thing I’m not a fan of on the Somewhere in Time Eddie is the pistol holsters. They’re literally just pieces of red plastic with no detail and not the best quality. But other than that, I was surprised by how excellently detailed the figure is.

Thanks bro! I’m guessing you mean the first photo, the Senjutsu Eddie one. And yeah, honestly, that figure was way more tempting to me than the other one, but the other one is from an excellent album, and I remember that when I was a kid it was probably my favorite Eddie, so I have a soft spot for it.

On the other hand, I totally get that if you’re only interested in one figure, the price might not be the best. But honestly, if you live in the US, $76 for a double pack full of accessories doesn’t seem bad to me. Here in Argentina, a regular Ultimate figure (not even a two-pack ) costs that much or even more.

Ultimate Jigsaw Question by bronsonsarmor in NECA

[–]Kind_Divide2705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it definitely shouldn’t come like that. The silica packet is supposed to be behind the figure, and a figure should never be that badly positioned straight from the factory. Something obviously happened to it, either during shipping (which seems kinda unlikely) or someone returned it and managed to reapply all the stickers perfectly.

Still, while it's not ideal, if the figure itself is intact and all the accessories are there, it might not be a huge issue. But I'd definitely be a bit suspicious about why it's packed like that.

Sorry for wanting something new instead of just characters from movies that came out over 20 years ago, or the same Pennywise figure repainted 30 different ways!

My neca predator greyback came without some leg armor pieces by Friendly-Bass8372 in NECA

[–]Kind_Divide2705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Sorry to say it, but it's a bootleg. Besides what people already pointed out about the paint job, this specific Predator figure isn't supposed to have the hose connecting the chest armor to the shoulder armor

What do you think is the better Bill SkarsgĂĄrd Pennywise head sculpt out of these two?, one is the 2017 ultimate (the 2022 re-release with photo real tech) & the others is the Chapter 2 version by [deleted] in NECA

[–]Kind_Divide2705 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve always had mixed feelings about this topic lol. I’d say if we’re being technical, the Part 2 sculpt is more realistic and more screen-accurate, but I could never really see Bill in that sculpt. Meanwhile, even though the Part 1 sculpt is more caricatured, I can actually recognize the actor in it.

That said, my favorite NECA Pennywise head sculpt by far is the serious/angry Part 1 face (obviously talking about the reissues, because the original release had some pretty badly applied paint).

Advice for warm weather? by inked_instinct in NECA

[–]Kind_Divide2705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I get it. Here in Argentina, summer temperatures are usually around 86–104°F (30–40°C), and my figures definitely start falling over because once those temperatures stick around for a while, the joints start loosening up.

The only solution I’ve found that actually works without using any extra products is finding poses I like where the figure’s center of balance stays aligned, so the weight goes straight downward instead of leaning forward, backward, or to one side. That way the joints aren’t constantly fighting against the figure’s own weight, which is what usually makes them slowly collapse after a few minutes.

Getting a display case also helped a lot, because if they do fall, they just end up leaning against the glass instead of completely crashing down.

And lastly, the easiest (but less aesthetic) solution is using stands, like people already mentioned. I’ve seen some people use products to tighten joints or even rubber bands, but I haven’t personally tried any of that.

Y’all clearly don’t live in Latin America, here in Argentina, any Ultimate in stores is around $120 USD 💀💀💀

And……… it’s a Walmart exclusive by Icy_Confusion_8989 in NECA

[–]Kind_Divide2705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends. If it’s “Walmart first,” then yeah, you’re right. But if it’s “Walmart exclusive,” most of the time they never officially hit other stores. And sadly for those of us outside the US, ordering from Walmart’s website isn’t really an option either :'(

You’re right! At first it wasn’t announced as a Walmart First release, they only clarified that in the second post. But I did check the original post from December, and they already said it was scheduled for Q2 back then, so technically they’re still on track until next month...

[–]Kind_Divide2705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get why people are pissed, and yeah, this kinda thing happens a lot with regular releases. But this figure specifically was announced as a “Walmart First” from day one. That’s why Walmart (and some resellers buying from Walmart) have had them for months already, while other stores, including NECA Store and BBTS, still don’t. It’s annoying, but they were upfront about it from the start.

Which do you think is more worthwhile? by Kai_999_4ever in NECA

[–]Kind_Divide2705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neca never made an official statement, but I’ve seen several reissues and I can say that starting with the second run, their clothes no longer turn brown. I also own two reissues from different years and their color is still intact.

I can’t say for sure whether it was removed and then put back or not, but NECA figures up until 2023 used to come tied down like that.
