That's cool, love this movie, but why 1/9 scale? Wish they were 1/4

Strange choice of scale - wonder why they want to go that route? To keep prices down perhaps?
I THINK the regular NECA action-figure stuff is 1/10 (7") so they'd be tiny bit bigger than those I guess . . . (1/9 = 8").
Big fan of the franchise so I'm interested in seeing how these turn out (which characters/poses).

lol sorry man don't mean to be a downer. I just think there are cooler licences they could have made in this scale. Enjoy though, hope they turn out well for you.

Chronicle Collectibles just announced they do not wan't peoples money by instead doing 1/9 scale statues.
That's unrealistic. They wouldn't announce that officially.
They didn't even care to officially say that they won't be making 1/6 figures.
I believe this is just the begging of the 1/9 scale lines. They said more will be coming just no details as to what yet. My point is so many licenses have been done to death so at least they are doing something untapped.

Pretty much.
So I guess iron studios going all 1:10 is genius, but 1:9 is somehow a fail? Sounds like your reasoning...
They can sell more at lower prices with this scale, not many people can or would drop $500+ a piece on a license like this. If the market is there maybe they would do some 1:4 or 1:1 pieces, but I doubt it. I love the movie, but wouldn't want much from it.
Reasoning for what? 1:9 is a really weird scale, besides I didn't know iron studios were making the thing statues as well. It's not like 1:10 is going to be any better.

Nah I think he means Iron Studios releases a bunch of statues at 1/10 scale. They are comic related though, not from The Thing.
