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.

@anunnaki: agreed. neca has done a superb job on their prometheus figures thus far. Are you hunting the trilobite/engineer 2 pack? looks great! by the by...you should get another pressure suit engineer so you can put his head on one of your chair suit engineers; pretty fun little mod. Here is a pic of one of my chair suit engineers with his helmet off (ie: popped his head off and popped on a pressure suit engineer's head): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/jacko32/IMG_4125.jpg

Nice mod, joeyjoe. I have to try that out. Does anyone know where i can get the Engineer and Trilobite set? I live in Ireland so it is sorta hard. I tried eBay but the cheapest one that ships to Ireland is $69.99 + 40.58 Shipping which is just way too expensive.

@luke: thanks! i thinks its a pretty neat little mod. I have some other customizations ill post a bit later. Its funny you should mention the engineer/trilobite 2 pack...i came on this site today for the express purpose of letting people know that toysrus.com has finally posted the engineer/trilobite 2 pack for sale on their website (started selling on 12/2/12). the 2 pack is 29.99 Luke, i have no idea if toysrus.com will ship internationally, but i would certainly try their website and see if you can get something worked out. The engineer/trilobite 2 pack is a TRU exclusive in the states; dont really know of any other options for you. Could try shipping from somewhere in europe (not sure when the 2 pack hits europe). happy hunting! Definitely check toysrus.com first!

I noticed at the amazon.com site the Promwetheus action figurea were listed at #72,986 ranking of best sellers. This not good for future releases. I thought the figures in this series looked pretty good..not for me but for gifts that would be OK.

@luke: you're welcome. good luck! @indy john: yeah. the figures are excellent...some of NECA's best work (imo). I spoke, online, with randy falk (from neca)...he said that the prometheus figures were doing "ok-good". I think neca thought they were going to be in the "excellent seller" range. Apparently, this has not been the case. Having said that, its still early, and Neca makes a lot of item that havent sold as well as the prometheus line. The sales have been good enough to warrant another line (david and the deacon). We might just get 4 more figures instead of the potential 8 more figures neca was looking at producing.

Called my Toys R Us tonight and they said that they just got the Trilobite 2-pack in last night. I'm going to get one tomorrow after work. :-)

I got it yesterday. It's pretty sweet. Very nice craftsmanship... $30 may seem a bit high, but it's quality. It looks very good. I've taken a ton of pictures with my phone. Might get around to posting some eventually. My phone messes up a lot, so it might give me difficulty. In short, though: Go pick this up as soon as it becomes available. Extremely nice and fun to pose and display.

This is kind of funny to me, cuz it looks like 'ol Trily is giving Mr. Engineer a BJ... [img]http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f291/sabres21768/other15/prometheus2pack.jpg[/img] That's not the way the packaging looked at all, haha. I did think it was funny that the "exclusive sticker" was placed over the head of the Trilobite penis.

yessir! i was so glad to see neca confirm a street date for series 2 (includes the deacon and david8)! I was a bit concerned, given some of the cryptic remarks randy (neca product development) has made regarding the future of the neca prometheus line. In fact, randy commented today (on twitter) that, from here on out, sales and retail interest will completely dictate the future of the line. Neca has 6 more figures prepared after david and the deacon; it would be a shame if, for example, liz shaw never got released. lets buy the shit out these bad boys. There are some really beautiful figures left! @patient leech: have you seen the more recent pics of the NECA Aliens line coming in april?

@Qsan: Pre-orders for series 2 figures havent gone up quite yet (soon). However, I would suggest using bigbadtoystore.com when time comes. Of course, you could google for other options as well. Ill post here when the pre-orders start showing up on the web.
