NECA Ben Cooper Kids

[Mike Scott]

I see a lone Frank Copper Kid on eBay for $145.00.

There are a dozen Creatures.

This whole thing has soured the BC Kids for me. At this point I'll probably pass on any of them for any price. Greed and dishonesty have taken the fun right out of it.

That sucks that the Alien is only sold in the set. I have no interest in the other three. Those were way after my time. I never even saw Gremlins.

That is bat crap crazy if NECA doesn't produce more of wave 1.

I'm sure some retailer will sell them separately.

You'd think!

I would not, though I've been surprised before.

Pre-orders on a great deal of items are much more valuable that chasing the fickle tail-end sale. While I can see NECA *perhaps* producing a boxed set "reprinting" series 1, that too would surprise me, as they were very upfront about the limited nature of the series. I couldn't afford to pre-order them, but the only surprising thing about this line is that it turned up at FYE and that FYE discounted them.

I wish I had known that at the time!

I got the email from Toywhiz trying to swap my series one order for a series two. I told them no thanks and will not do business with them again.

The employees didn't even know it. The figures were on their website for a hot minute (Creature already sold out when I tried) and the only store near me seemingly never got them (which I believe because it is barely a store. I suspect they're just trapped in a lease that won't allow them to shutter it). But quite a number of people found them at their locals and reported a buy one, get one 25% off. Lucky them!

Indeed I do.

[Doh!]

Preordered the entire Wave 1 set of these so snagged them at a reasonable price. However, I was disappointed that the Devil one wasn't an exact match to my costume as a kid. Then Wave 2 came out – and it was an exact match! I totally remember the Devil having hooped earrings and clawed hands on the front bib, so had to pick him up. But, as it turns out, I missed him at retail so had to go the eBay route. Wasn't reamed too badly, but would kick myself if I walked away. As much as I love these, however, I'm done collecting the line.

I also like how they're in scale with the Halloween III kids. They can all go trick-or-treating together before the Big Giveaway at 9:00...
