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.

just thought id add some pics of my custom/re-painted pressure suit engineer. I went over the entire suit portion of the figure with a dark gray wash, then provided another subtle wash of various blues/greens (more film accurate). Finally, i sealed the entire suit with a polyacrylic coat to 1) add a bit of shine and 2) seal in my paint job. I also added more flesh tone to the eye sockets and to the lips (again...more film accurate). Im pretty pleased with the results. below are some pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/46547019@N07/8153038252/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/46547019@N07/8153040110/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/46547019@N07/8153014609/ the last photo link is to contrast my paint job with a stock neca pressure suit engineer. what do ya think? cant wait for trilobite/engineer 2 pack in about 2 weeks!

yeah. i ordered both series one figs on amazon.com. then, weeks later, i picked up one more of each at toys r us (for custom work etc.). Toys r us = slow and disorganized. Recently, when i called to ask about the neca prometheus 2 pack, the lady on the other end said "toys r us doesnt carry those types of movies". wow. thanks for the info. regarding location...small world...im very familiar with augusta. I live in the metro atlanta area!

NECA just posted this on Facebook. Sweet!! [img]http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/981_445839058811818_1187562392_n.jpg[/img] Does anyone know when Toys R Us [i]WILL[/i] get the Trilobite vs. Engineer package?? I'm really not looking forward to calling them a hundred times... :/

thanks for the pic @patient leech. cant wait to see the final paint app on the deacon. trilobite/engineer 2 pack exclusive will be hitting TRU on nov. 23rd. Obviously cant be certain of exactly when your local TRU will be putting them on the shelves, but according to neca, the 23rd of this month is the official approximation.

just heard back from randy falk (neca). he said that the prometheus line is confirmed through series 2. In other words, david, holloway, the deacon, and the engineer/trilobite 2 pack are all getting made (without question). However, series 3, which includes shaw, vickers, and infected fifield, is planned but not confirmed. Randy said that sales for prometheus series 1 (engineers) were good, but not great. in order for shaw, vickers, and infected fifield to get made, sales need to, at the very least, hold where they are (and ideally pick up). Moral of the story? buy these bad boys. It would be a shame if shaw never got made. edit:@patient leech: you're very welcome.

2 days until the engineer/trilobite 2 packs begin hitting the shelves at TRU. I hope my TRU gets them in/puts them out on time. im sure some stores will be quicker than others. either way, looking forward to this one.

Anyone out there been able to pick up the engineer/trilobite TRU exclusive 2 pack? i know the figs are available for purchase at a handful of TRU stores. More and more stores should be getting their shipments in soon. My TRU seems to be behind the bell curve. Share pics if you got em.

@joey Yeah, that would be a cryin' shame if Shaw never got made. :( I have called my Toys R Us a couple times and they haven't gotten the Trilobite 2-pack yet. I'm really sick of calling them. Somebody at my store said that they are the last to get NECA products, so, Whoo-hoo for me..

Well, another fruitless call to Toys R Us. These things might sell better if Toys R Us actually got them in stock.. heh

isnt it just an absolute joy dealing with toys r us?! So exasperating. Good luck and happy hunting. Post pics if you find a two pack...ill do the same. Do you live in the states? if so, what region? Seems like most folks who have already picked up the 2 pack live on the west coast. I hail from the southeast...still no luck. oh and BTW: infected holloway (series 2) is going to come with two heads, one of which will NOT be infected. david will come with two heads as well. Pretty cool.

Sweeeet.. looking forward to David and Holloway. Yeah, it's a pleasure calling Toys r us over and over. I'm a glutton for punishment, I suppose. If it wasn't a Toys r us exclusive then I would probably just go ahead and order it on Amazon and be done with it (even if it [i]is[/i] a little more expensive). That's what I did for the first two figures. I too am in the southeast. On the border of Georgia and South Carolina, Augusta, GA. Where're you?

NEWS: unfortunately, its not good news. Randy from neca stated (through neca's twitter feed) that holloway has been pulled from series 2 and placed in a later series. Now...since the prometheus line is only confirmed through series 2 (the later series' are planned, but not confirmed...depends on sales etc.), this bit of news seems to suggest that the prometheus line is in a little bit of trouble (sadly...definitely the best stuff neca has done imo). Unless they replace holloway's spot in series 2, it seems like neca is trying to truncate the prometheus line (typically this is done when a line's sales are unable to support multiple figures per series). Worst case scenario, we only get 6 total figures. Best case scenario, neca is just moving holloway to a later series....for fun...hehe. we'll see. bottom line...if you like these figs....go buy em. the better the sales, the greater the chance the prometheus line has of running its course (ie: all planned figures being released).

Its hella cool what NECA did from the Prometheus movie especially the Chair Suit [b]Engineer[/b], I own three Engineers one in pressure suit and two are in the chair suits.

The Anunnaki were on the earth in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, mighty men of high reno
