Ok, there are about 5 different threads about the NECA figures and it's kinda hard to decide where to put what info. So, now we have a thread to put any and all NECA Prometheus figure info, pics, etc. I wanted to start this because I just got the most detailed info I've seen on the release dates, characters that will be in each series and what accessories each figure will include. Here's the low down... [b][i]SERIES 1 (September 2012 Release) - Engineer in Pressure Suit - Engineer in Chair Suit TOYS"R"US EXCLUSIVE 2-PACK (November 2012) - Battle Damaged Engineer - Trilobite SERIES 2 (November 2012) - Android David (Space Suit w/ Helmet) - Infected Charlie Holloway (Space Suit w/ Helmet) EXCLUSIVE TBD (2013) - Deacon Creature Pack (to include the "proto-alien", Hammerpedes, and a bonus severed Engineer head with removable helmet) SERIES 3 (2013) - Elizabeth Shaw (with Decapitated David head) - Meredith Vickers - Infected Fifiled [/i][/b] NECA still hasn't said exactly when they will ship but they do update their twitter with shipping info so if I'm the first to hear they've been shipped I'll post it here. If anyone else hears about them shipping please let us know. Here are some pics of what we have to look forward to. I know a lot of them have been posted but figured they're needed here if this is going to be the "ultimate" thread.

BTW... The Deacon's jaws open and close and the extra upper jaw or whatever the hell you want to call it will be retractable. [img]https://p.twimg.com/AzFvjm-CMAAauGu.jpg[/img] Also, the Trilobites tentacles are bendable so you can position it any way you wish. If I think or hear of any other details I'll post them.

I do kinda want them since I loves me some dust-collectors on the shelf :-D And the Proto Facehugger (I am NOT calling it a trilobite, because it ISN'T one) looks pretty cool now that I can see it full on.....................

while i agree with you on the issue of the name designation (cuddles is nothing like a trilobite. "Trilobite" is probably an early name that was used to describe the creature when its design actually resembled a trilobite), proto facehugger isnt likely to be any more accurate than trilobite. Judging by the nice big egg on the ceiling of the ampule room and the smaller facehuggers depicted in the bas relief, it seems pretty clear that cuddles isnt a proto facehugger. Thanks for the nice repository engineering. Im looking forward to seeing these figures in person. Looks promising thus far.

It looks like you'll be able to shove the Proto Facehugger's penis into the Engineer's throat... haha.. that's awesome.

@patient leech: i noticed that. pretty intense/disturbing....ill be taking my 3 year old up and down an aisle in toys r us that has a toy of "god" getting throat f***ed by a lethal bio-weapon that thrashed its way into the world via induced abortion (my son is obssessed with cruising the star wars aisle which is directly across from the NECA toys). Yikes. LOL.

Just read a street date of September 28th for series 1 in the US. Not sure how reliable it is but I do assume they will come towards the end of the month so it makes sesne. The website that posted the "review" of the figures is reported to get figures early but these figures seem to be taken a while back as they look just like the pics released that first showed the 2 figures next to each other in their packages with a white background. I'm sure most have seen the news Chris posted with the new pics [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/news/327]HERE.[/url] Personally, I'm getting more and more worried about the Pressure Suit figure. He doesn't look on par with the 2ups and other prototypes at all imo. Just look at the pics I posted above. Notice the "smoothness" and subtlety of the protos that's completely missing from the production fig?

[quote][b]here we go! Check NECA's website...prometheus figures are officially hitting stores next week. [/b][/quote] Link please? I would like to know which day and which stores. I don't see where on the NECA site it says such things.. I've called Toys R Us and Spencers Gifts, neither of which seems to have any clue about what Prometheus even is... lol :/ Seriously, I would like to go to the store to get them, cuz [url=http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Prometheus+action+figures]Amazon[/url] now says that they will be in stock November 30th????? Fail!!!

no problem. If you are going to look for the figures in a store (and not online) i would definitely go with toys r us. Im not an expert on NECA figures (dont really do the whole figure thing...im just a bit obsessed with anything engineer), but at first glance, it appears that toys r us has a much more expansive selection than the other toy stores. Your experience with the store employees is probably going to be the norm. Generally speaking, I dont think they know or care to know anything about the stuff they sell. Call and ask them what day of the week their truck delivers new items and then what day of the week they put out the new merchandise. Might save you several fruitless phone calls.

Very good advice. Thank you, sir. Well, I called Toys R Us again and they basically don't know which day stuff will arrive. Sometimes it's Wednesday, sometimes Thursday, sometimes Friday. So mega fail for Toys R Us. I guess I'll just keep calling over there this week. I see many fruitless phone calls in my future..

@Patient...If you have Toys R Us near you then you are set. Their stores never get the same stuff on a certain day. They do have certrain days where they get deliveries like you said your store gets shipments on Wed, Thurs and Fri. The locations around me get theirs on Thurs and Fri. But yeah, the time it takes for NECA figures to get to each location differs. I have about 4 locations close and sometimes the arrival of the same figures to each store differs by as much as a few weeks. To cut this short you're just going to have to keep checking back with Toys R Us. Now that you know the day they get stuff you can cut out calling on every other day. You'll know when they hit Toys R Us. I'll post it as soon as it happens then you can start calling.

any luck finding these bad boys? engineering? (figured you'd be the guy going after these things with the most gusto! hehe) Ill certainly post when i find them on shelves in my area. Weds is the shipment day for my toys r us so i went up there today and asked if they had any new NECA boxes in the back that they had yet to open up/unload. The lady helping me said "let me go check". She proceeded to go to a computer, jumped on toysrus.com, had me spell prometheus 7 times, and finally told me that they didnt have them in. She checked the same toys r us website that we can all check from our home computers. it was a trip. poor thing. she was actually kind though so i gave her a break.
