    I seem to recall a tweet from NECA indicating they were unsure when/if those two sets would be made available via their store. Maybe they just have to wait a while to allow all of the Target stock to sell out before they can offer them elsewhere. I have an extra Casey set (my CMDStore order finally came in) that I may be able to sell to you at cost plus shipping. But, I need to take a closer look at it to verify there are no defects. I am working out of town the remainder of this week and will take a look at it when I get home. Ping me on Saturday to remind me to get back with you!

    Finally got around to picking up an Ultimate Big Chap. The usual NECA issues (some loose joints, some stuck joints), but dear LORD, what a lovely thing. And poseability is NUTS, if you’re willing to work with it.

    I love that guy. He is probably the last Xeno I will ever need.

    I said the same exact thing. Of course, I also said it way back in 2004 with McFarlane’s stab at it, and have been saying it every time I’ve purchased yet another one in the intervening 16 years, but SHUT UP I CAN STOP WHENEVER I WANT YOU’RE THE ONE WITH A PROBLEM.

    Lol... The only other Xeno I have is the older NECA version with the shitty hip joints (only has rotation...no swivels or anything). Big Chap is lightyears ahead of him.

    Picked up a Kong today and LOVE it. My only criticism is that I wish it had a more relaxed head sculpt. The two heads it comes with are a little to similar, though excellent.

    He immediately attacked my cat.
    RIP Bowie.

    Was able to find Kong today as well. Sticks out like a sore thumb standing straight up. Wish he was a tad shorter. Posed him crouching to blend him in better.

    Stuff...

    G85: Wow, that's some difference between the old and new version.

    Paint defects: Some brown spots on the neck and left brow and shoulder.

    G89:
    Since I've not see anyone doing it, here's how the MonsterArts Mecha-King Ghidorah capture gear on it.

    With my Biollante (minus the vines to make the comparison easier)

    G03 paint defects: Just like G85 there are some random brown paint on one of the plates and that one alone.

    Also eyes.

    Thanks for the pics and comparisons! I've basically gotten like 6 different NECA Godzillas in the last month or so, and have the new Biollante on preorder. I've had the Mecha King Ghidorah for like 5 years and never set those gripper things up lol.

    I think I pulled them out once, too daunting lol. I'm hoping Bandai someday revisits the design of Godzilla 1989 in proper scale (which would be smaller than the NECA or even the old Godzilla 1994/5 molds).

    I wish Neca would do another Eddie (Iron Maiden) That isn't the Power Slave Eddie. In my opinion, I would rather any other Eddie design (except for maybe the Killers design)
