Topic: CV figures out!?

[le052383]

Here is an ebay link that seems to have the NECA CV figure.

I found this link on a toy forum I normally go to, which is

Is it me or did NECA gave Alucard and Dracula a bigger head. Maybe someone at the factory didn't scale the figures correctly from their 2-ups. At least Simon looks good. Dracula looks like crap, but it could be bad lightin'.

meh, I don't like em anyway....... Sadly enough the succubus looks best.

[Azmodan]

Simon looks pretty good, the succubus is alright...but man, what did they do to Dracula?

Unless it is bad lighting...

[Profbeanburrito]

I don't know.....those don't really seem to be up to NECA standards. Something seems strange about those

I agree, but then again, the majority of what we've been seeing has been the display models. Display models are almost always painted more detailed than the actual shipping figs. Rarely you'll get shipping figs that have pupils not lined up perfectly(and it's off the eye).

But, the quality of the picture isn't really that good, so it might be the lighting. Simon's stubble seems more like red blush on his chin, like he has a rash from shaving. Dracula has WAY too much darkness around his eyes. Looks like he's wearing eye shadow. The Succubus doesn't look that bad, though. Alucard looks, well, funny. His face. I try to choke back the chuckles.

It looks like they closed Dracula's mouth like everyone wanted though.

They all look pretty cool to me, except Alucard looks....almost anime-ish. Like his skin looks too...smooth and perfect as opposed to Simon's. And is just me, or does Dracula look like an older, gray-haired version of IGA?

Can't wait to find these. though Dracula does look very odd

[mistressalucard]

One thing I have learned, is that you can't tell what figures look like from pics online. You have to get them and then see. 

I bought all 4 in a set because it was the only way to get Alucard.  I am keeping Alucard and the Succubus, but unless Dracula and Simon knock me over I am selling them.

There is no official confirmation when these are coming out.  Obviously someone has them, but NECA hasn't said anything on their main page or their blog.  Both Bigbadtoystore and figures.com say the generic "November" still. Since someone does have them, maybe they will be shipping this week.

I'm kind of curious as to where this guy on ebay got his.

if you click the link at the top, it doesn't work. I'm wondering if this is for real...

it's a shame, really..the display prototypes looked SO good. Simon and Succubus looked amazing, but now they just look ok. Dracula and Alucard are meh.

[Hime]

ugh. I'm not pleased. both succubus and alucard look like horrible drag queens.

I'm hoping that those are just horrible paintjobs.

[Dark Nemesis]

WTF??? Alucard looks out of space, Simon has weird jaw, Succubus is looking great and Dracula is looking like a junky.

[Profbeanburrito]

Now, I know that the figures they've been showing are prototypes and they always looks better. But there's no way this is NECA. If anyone's ever seen any NECA toy they look stunning. Up there in quality with McFarlane.

These just look like some cheap Hong Kong knock off that you'd find at a dollar store or something. Also, since I haven't seen any pictures of them anywhere else I don't believe they're real.

Hell, even the packaging looks crummy

I agree they do look bad, but most of us will probably buy them anyway. Admit it!
