Half the crappy decisions is always because Playmates wants to screw things up.

NECA could very easily have done this Haulathon as a US event in Target and on their own store for international customers but for whatever reason went with an event site and totally screwed it up. Quote:

I agree that you should be able to email them your issue privately and have it resolved, but sadly that doesn't always seem to work where as raising it on social media, especially if a lot of people are having the same issues, can force a company to take notice and fix the issues much faster and makes it harder for them to ignore. Honestly, I think they were probably using the IDW reprints as they were probably given them as reference. and by the time the error was realized (presumably when the figure was revealed if none of the NECA team are hardcore Mirage fans) it was too late in the production process to fix it. Hopefully she will get a re-release in the right colors, and hopefully this error will make them double check things on future figures. |

Granted, I don't know whether or not NECA owned HeroClix at the time that this was released. I don't know the ins and outs of the history of NECA's ownership of HeroClix, but I do know they at least do own it currently. But even so, I suppose it's a toss-up as to whether or not the people that made the recent action figure are the same people as the ones that made, or are even aware of the existence of, this old Renet HeroClix.

Fugitoid arrived from Target.com. The packing slip and shipping label made it clear they simply routed the order straight to NECA to fulfill.
It came with one of the Haulathon loot bags included at no cost...so that's a bonus I think? Except I don't really want it. |

Anyone in the UK had any luck getting a Fugitoid?
NECA's international arm seems really disjointed lately. UK distributors seem to be getting their hands on some items but not on others. I've tried Haulathon.com several times but no sign of the Fugitoid figure.

Luckily I'm not bothered by the signed edition and (hopefully) the regular version should be available to the normal retailers later on so just playing the waiting game. No way paying Haulathon shipping costs. |

A friend of mine swears he bought Bronx at Walmart this Wednesday, but if it's true it'd be the first I've heard of Bronx being spotted outside Target. And dude's not a liar. BUT he is a stoner and it was 4/20, so I'd bet he was just a bit under the influence and is mistaken.

Yeah... there's gonna be something Mirage in there, isn't there?
My prediction: four-pack of the brothers, issue #1 style. Maybe packaged to reflect the cover. Last edited by Otter; 05-21-2022 at 12:09 AM. |

Happy to be wrong. I hate having to track down the Con exclusives. But it sounds like everyone had a pretty easy time of it this year.
Now... bring on that Utrom pre-order and Casey reveal. |

Man, that’s a surprise. Why did I think Casey’s shirt was red?

Cuz it was.
The colors are the only thing that bother me, as I feel the sculpt is amazing and accurate. So, basically, the situation's the same as Renet again. This one would at least be easier to paint, but... that shouldn't even be necessary, especially at this price point.

Figures both look amazing. Casey's shirt being white not red is annoying. Not quite as annoying as Renet's color change but still an error that should have been an easy fix. Especially given pretty much everyone called them out on the incorrect IDW colors for Renet months ago. First thing they should have done then was double check the colors for everyone else in production.
That said, he's due pretty much the same time so (if I'm being generous and giving benefit of the doubt) it may have been too late to change either given where they both were in production at that point. But everything from next year needs to be right |
