Making these somewhat limited would be smart on Neca's part. These characters only serve a niche group.

If anyone is after the regular cartoon version of Usagi - NECA is selling them on Amazon for $36.99 + $10.99 shipping.

REX-1 is part of Haulathon - I picked him up the other week.

Got up before 6am pacific and was ready. Easily ordered Rex-1 and Mona 2 pack. They later sold out, but not sure how long it took.

Was also refreshing the Accessory Set hoping for a restock. Maybe they will do it next week? They haven't said they would, but they are restocking in stores so I hope they restock online too.

I'm really surprised these Haulathons have been launching at 9am ET instead of 11am or noon ET to be more accommodating to all the consumers in the western USA.

They also don't give a f about there customers either, if qc is reflection of that.

Well...getting close to expiration on Portal preorders...kinda seems like nothing else will be announced to try and combine shipping.

Are you aware of how much stuff NECA dropped for Haulathon? Why would you think they would add another item to their website?!

[lilmotto]

For anyone interested I have extras of
Tall Thug and Short Gangster
Mona Lisa and Dirk Savage
Mighty Hog and Rhino Man
Chakahachi and Lotus
That I would sell at cost plus shipping.
I am willing to ship internationally as well.

Looks like we'll have some news soon that "ties into something we have brewing with NECA" from SpeekyGeek:

And Renae Jacobs might have some personal connection to it too.

Surprised they didn’t finally reveal the new April in full for April Fools. Thought that was the plan.

-April O' Neil news has historically been revealed on Turtle Tuesdays.
-Renae Jacobs will likely be involved in the signature editions (as was the case with Judith Hoag).
-Hope Zelu, who has previously worked on Mona Lisa, has also worked on Ultimate Toon April (perhaps, Tempestra and "toon" Venus/Jennika as well??). Neca is better off outsourcing female characters (Super7 too, unless they use that 3D portrait print tech from their SilverHawks Wave 2).

I have a feeling a new digital sculpt might be the product of Eric Barnett, who did a great job on R&Bs gang:

I'd say that's pretty good news if true. https://www.instagram.com/p/CWR3wPAsQkA/

Sure thing!

Thanks! I'm in for the '87 set, but could have gone without seeing the pig.

And, there is also a Channel 6 News Van? Is NECA making a News Van as well?

So are we assuming NECA is going to make more of this dumbass "Haulathon" product available again somehow? Because none of the Targets near me got any and most of them sold out very quickly online and have never once been restocked. The accessory pack has me especially concerned.

Is Haulathon supposed to be ironic? Shouldn't they call is Crapathon? Where you put up with a bunch of crap to obtain product you should just be able to preorder?

Rant over.

From the Haulathon, I've missed the Accessory Pack and Mask of Phantom Casey Jones.

NECA made an announcement earlier that the Accessory Pack will be available outside of Haulathon. It's likely going to be on the NECA store with that annoying $15 shipping premium, but still a lot cheaper than AliExpress, which significantly raised their prices from the original $86 listing.

Most of the comic book figures will be available on BBTS and Entertainment Earth as well as the Universal Monsters x TMNT (I'm only missing Casey at this point).

Regarding the punk packs, Mona Lisa/Dirk, Lotus/Chakahachi they are reasonably popular but not excessively. When the demand begins to slows down (give it a few weeks) in the physical stores, they will likely be put up on the Target websites again. It's also possible that some of those 2-packs might show up on the NECA store.
