It's up at BBTS already so it'll be a regular release! I'll grab it at Dorkside I think when they go up.
I'm thinking about doing the same thing. Here's the BBTS link. It's cheaper than what I expected Disney’s Gargoyles Ultimate Goliath Figure EDIT: Dorkside link NECA Gargoyles Ultimate Goliath 7 Inch Action Figure PRE-ORDER
It is for eating, then yelling "Jalapeña!" Generally "jalapeña" (notably not "jalapeño") was frequently used as a catch phrase/kid-friendly curse/exclamation in the show.
Man, Gargoyles was so cool and I never had any of the figures as a kid. It was always one of those lines that I looked at on the pegs or messed with at a friends house but never had some for myself. I'm not a huge fan of Neca, the last figure I bought of there's was a huge let down, but I might have to take the chance on Goliath.
NECA has some of the best sculptors in the toy industry working for them but uses some of the worst plastic. Best case scenario would’ve been the same sculptor of Goliath but working with S7 to make the line.
Looks like they're going to retail for $32.99 according to BBTS, but I get what you're saying. $45 is a lot to spend per figure on the entire cast if S7 had gotten the line. It's one of the reasons I'm being pretty selective with their Thundercats and TMNT lines. Still, this looks good and here's hoping they do more than just Goliath.
Without having things like actor licenses bother them, I have to imagine they'll do several. Just look at how deep they've gone with the cartoon TMNT line in one year. Ultimate is a BS name for the line at present. Used to be for when they cobbled together accessories from multiple releases for an actual "ultimate." Now it's just a standard line with multiple variants for characters. I don't exactly need an ULTIMATE Audition version of Marty McFly but we got it. I'm sure there will be at least 2 versions of Goliath available. Hopefully they don't save really good ones for convention exclusives.
Yeah I've gotten what I want out of the S7 Thundercats line which was 1 figure Panthro and I'm done unless they do 2010 T-Cats, I'm currently in for 2 TMNT with Bebop pretty much ruining the line for me and just Metalhead being left to get, I'll see after that but it's not likely I'll buy much more, and while I'd complain about the price I'd still by them if it were s7, I'm just happy they're not As some one pointed out looks to be bendy wire in the wings, and you can see the metal points by the wing claw
This was a show that I liked when it was out... but I was also like 16 at the time. I've been afraid to revisit it for fear it'll be terrible and taint my positive memories. Probably not something I'll purchase, but the Goliath figure looks decent (definitely could use some more wing options or more articulated wings, as Split Lip menioned). Also, it's NECA, so I assume it will feel... not great, in-hand. And will probably have some breakage issues. I already collect the NECA TMNT figs and a few of the BTTF ones... that's enough NECA for me, I think...
I wish it brought extra wings to do the "cloak" look Goliath up at Dorkside for $29.99 NECA Gargoyles Ultimate Goliath 7 Inch Action Figure PRE-ORDER
