Heads up. Another opportunity to pre-order for pickup at SDCC:

After this pre-order, there will be a limited amount available for non-preorder purchase at SDCC, first come, first serve.

Got a great email from my supplier. He confirmed my sets again and plans to ensure that my sets are with me when I get back into town next week.
And- not my cup of tea, but Pixelated Dan has a video revue of the two sets up on YouTube. I watched a few seconds worth of it. Sets look very nice.

You might have to wait till I get a second set.
I'm very likely to keep these first two sets displayed in pack. If they look as good in hand, I'll get a second set to inbox

I had a similar thought - I'm not much of a fan of the video. I found it annoying (what little I actually watched).
I think the figures themselves are fine, and will make a fantastic display piece.

yeah, they will look great on display and in box. I was so stoked when these were announced and loved them when pics were released but after seeing the video I'm just so mehh on them. I guess I'm seeing what some people saw when the pictures were released.

The sculpt and scale looks excellent, hopefully we'll one day see a release with a non-VG paint job.

The sculpting is awesome! But I hate that pixel look. It's horrible.

The sculpts are awesome, but the more I see the pixel paint work, the more I go off them a little.

The pixel paint job is the whole point. It's well done and gives a well presented representation of the characters as seen in the game.

I kinda like the pixel paint job too, but I would be lying if I said Im not interested in toon repaints. If we get that far we will probably have to jump through hoops to get them though thanks to Playmates

Why are the pixels diagonal, that defeats the whole points of the pixels!

My problem wasn't with the video but the figures themselves. When these were first announced I felt bad that i'd be missing out but after seeing them, . They should go back and finish up the mirage lineup.

I just purchased a set on eBay. They're such great display pieces and I didn't want to pass them up in case the prices skyrocket later on. I hate exclusives but the memories I have of the game forced my hand. That and the fact that I'm an avid collector of NECA figures. Happy end to a long work day.
