Judging by how large the wings are you’ll have to attach them. If that is the case they could easily add in cloth for the cape wings. It seems like a no brainer only because they’re gonna take up a lot of room due to wings being huge. I’m still gonna get this and all the rest. Can’t wait to army build the steel clan

Hell just from the main Gargoyles alone you can easily crank out the clones just by recoloring em and minor changes to the clothing, slightly more changes and animal heads and you can crank out the cat mutant gargoyles and the britbong gargoyles, etc.

Anonymous
>>8885117 I've been buying NECA figures on and off since 2011 or so, and since then I've only had one break on me (it was a Pacific Rim Jaeger, and I'd owned it for a while, it didn't break right out of the package). Most of them felt really damn sturdy to me, actually, to the point where I was probably too careless with them. I think the most recent fig I bought from them was the Kenner Rhino Alien, which again, feels like a brick to me. He even took a shelf dive (4 feet or so onto carpet) and is totally fine.
But I think there are exceptions to every rule, and maybe that was me. So just to be safe, I would approach with a lot of caution, and if anything feels gummy or even a little bit stuck, apply heat. Never force it. You don't need to put them in a plastic bag, just run them under warm water from the tap for 30 secs to a minute. It needs to be hot enough to actually warm up the plastic, but it shouldn't be scalding. If you can still hold your hand under it with no discomfort, you're probably good.

>>8885948 tftoys is good but they usually don’t stray much from transformers. if they do indeed get something in stock, definitely go for it
all that said, there’s no perfect option for Canadians. most of that is because most places go out of business — none of them are large enough to make companies like neca and Hasbro send their shit to Canada on time, we are always the last place to get a distributor shipment. tftoys will get their neca product in even later than BBTS does, and it’s not their fault either
and that’s why all these places close. it’s hard to compete when your customers will inevitably get their products in hand weeks or months later than anyone on Instagram. most collectors go straight to importing and prefer the extra cost for the speed
Anonymous
>>8885959 he is an asshole for sure. I personally do not like the guy. but as someone who ran a failed toy business in Quebec, the cancellation fees are necessary. even with a direct account, every company sends their shit to Canada dead last. collectors get impatient every time even if you explain this upfront, and then a large percentage of them grab it off eBay or from bbts to get it sooner and cancel their order. then you’re stuck with stock that you can’t move anymore because the product came out a month ago in the United States.
that’s no excuse for nmc’s bad customer service, of course. I encourage you to make up your own minds, just keep in mind a lot of this is out of Canadian retailer’s hands

>>8889345 >>8889346 belt buckle is the size of his head, so that's about right.
proportions are definitely different and because one is cartoonly, thats going to accentuate all the differences.
IT seems like NECA is using the old concept art from the show, because i definitely remember Disney's previews being different than how the show came out. Disney had stuff at Comic Con way back in the 90s to promote it with Marvel at their booth, including a half sized maquette.
So there's definitely a lot of art showing off a realistic style somewhere.

>>8888521 I keep them. Moving toys is a fucking nightmare. Luckily, I got into collecting toys two years ago but moving my old childhood toys from my family's home to the new apartment was dogshit. I just put them in a plastic bag and it led to some older 90s figures breaking. No big deal because i don't play with them anyway and they weren't expensive but I won't take any risk with newer figures, especially the more expensive ones. Also, in case you turn out having or wanting to sell off your figures, the box makes a huge difference

>>8889366 I recall a lot of the merchandise and other advertising material using that more realistic style as well. I personally am a fan of each the cartoon styling nd the more realistic take NECA is doing. I think that the realistic designs are better in 3D. I'm never a huge fan of stylized cartoons being brought into 3D. It looks weird half the time. Like look at the DCC BtAS line, half those figures can barely stand due to their stick legs. It may match the source material but it saceadices funtionality. I think NECA is making the right move by doing their own thing, or at the very least, basing it off of that more realistic art style. I can't wait to see the rest of the main cast. I don't even have a place for these but Gargoyles was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid and between that and having a bunch of the Kenner figures as a kid, I feel obligated to get these. Doesn't help that the first figure looks AMAZING.

They're surprised at how many people are interested in the series, which means they were sticking to the main cast and hadn't considered the potential of a market for the obscure or secondary characters. Stone Variant Goliath might also be in there instead of one of the bad guys to get people considering double-dipping on all of the main gargoyle figures at the beginning of the line.
No way is Lex part of the initial set because his wings are going to be a nightmare to figure out and they likely were testing the waters before deciding if they should bother.
They might also hold back on Demona just to keep people interested in checking back in with the line after the initial release.
Anonymous
>>8893192 It would, but considering how few quadruped designs they've done (it's just the AWIL right?) if I had to guess I'd think they would be more comfortable sticking to bipeds since it's less new tooling.
But of course now that they said the line got more attention than they were thinking I think it's safe to assume we're going to get all the major characters. I never realized how much I wanted a Macbeth figure until now.

IF THEY ARE SMART, they will go ahead an put her out, and use lisa or Goliaths daughter to keep the waifu fags coming back to check the toys.

It's a real shame this happened, because Weisman had plans for an MCU-style expanded universe, with numerous exciting concepts.

Either way, in a year or two when hype starts to die down, they release Demona. Hype re-ignites. The hardcores who have been keeping tabs on the line start talking about the new toy, and both previous and new casuals hear about it. Now all the "old" gargoyle figures have even more value, because people who missed the boat are forced to buy their team with after-market prices.
People see Neca products selling for hundreds of dollars a figure. Brand recognition and acclaim go up. Neca seems like a good company to buy products from or invest it. No one wants to "miss the boat" again so they decide to finish their full team "just in case", maybe even buying characters they don't really care about.
A year or two after that, Neca produces repaints of the molds they already paid for "due to fan demand". They get positive press because "they listened to the fans" about how hard it was to complete the gargoyles team. Hype train starts all over again.
It's the best business decision they could make, honestly.
