WANT!

That. I want that. As most know, my main hobby is collecting movie based action figures. The hobby has been a bit dry over the last 2 years, as most of the big licenses have already been made, leaving not much left to make. Add to that the fact that I am nowhere near as obsessed with it as other geek's who do the same as me. I don't buy full lines, I don't buy everything that comes out. my main interest is a character here and there. So I usually just buy one every few months. Video game figures have been all the rage now. Last thing I bought was a line of Bioshock 2 figures. But THAT right there, i am drooling for. It is considered the last true holy grail of movie figure collectors. The last thing that was once thought could never be made, was always requested, and never delivered. McFarlane toys once tried to release this almost a decade ago, but failed at the last minute due to an argument with the studio. They apparently wanted it to look more like Linda Blair than possessed demon. Enter company Neca, who ended up being able to make this full on demon possessed one by making a separate Reagan figure with full on Linda Blair likeness. They made a figure of a scene, which is only found on the directors cut, where she walks backwards down the stairs imitating a spider. Rather bland, i never bought, preferring this new boxed set. This set was supposed to be released LAST year, but got shelved. Nobody knew why and many assumed it was canceled. But it seems the real reason it was held up is so it could come out the same time as the blu-ray special edition of the movie, both due in October. This thing looks incredible. The damn head spins and it speaks phrases from the film. I can't wait to here exactly what phrases, though I'll piss myself laughing if I hear "YOUR MOTHER SUCKS COCKS IN HELL!". So this is finally coming out, and it looks well worth the wait. Already got the shelf space waiting for this fucker.
