PREVIEW OF NEW NECA CTB PIT FIGHTER FIGURE!

Looks like NECA nailed this sculpt! I just found this today on WizardWorld.com

Yes its quite nice from what I can see. Wonder what is keeping them from showing the action figures? Its pissing me off now!

I have to agree.

Amazing..

The lips and mouth area look a lil funny though.

I'm still on the fence about these. They look cool, sure, but what to do with them, you know?

I used to collect figures back when i was in my early 20's, then i moved to swords, and only now i am starting to appreciate the concept of collecting empty space. Moving all my star wars stuff once was enough to kill that hobby's enthusiasm. Swords are cool, but not so fun when you don't have your own house anymore. Living in Japan and the US has killed the ability to take care of them often, and who do you trust with a village sized arsenal?

I really love the attention to detail and quality of the sculpts, but I just can't see any point to owning them at the moment. I am trying to limit my collection to weapons, props, art, and books. Maybe down the road I could find the perfect spot for one, but not at the moment. I have to try and fight the urge to 'own them all!" After all, they are just glorified toys, and not actual unique art pieces signed by the artist.... but still cool.

Well I think they fill the gap for those that never could find/afford those old vinyl kit statue models which were made on and off over the years. I personally prefer action figures, because statues are terribly boring, though they work good for bookends.
