McFarlane Toys: Stranger Things 7-Inch Figures

They're up on BBTS. Apparently, there're also figures of Luke and Dustin, but no picture of Luke.

Finally, got my preorders in for series 1 a few days ago before they sold out. Would be cool if they are out in November.

What makes Hopper and Eleven "Collector Edition"? The other figures aren't, and they look to be the same quality.

IIRC, it's the name of a nigh-unstoppable demon in the kids' Dungeons & Dragons game, so they nicknamed the monster that. I don't think we were ever given an "official" or "scientific" name for the creature.

Seen a lot of press about this, is the series any good?
Worth getting netflix for?

Definitely you will not be disappointed.

Awful sculpts.

Dustin is good, Lucas doesn't look anything like the actor.

Hrm. That's a hard question to answer. Would I pick up Netflix *just* for Stranger Things? Probably not. But Netflix has lots of other great shows on it too...I for one love Daredevil and 13 Reasons Why in addition to this one, just to pick a couple. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Atypical, and Master of None are solid comedies. There's a bunch of others I'm probably not remembering...

As far as whether it's good, it's good. Definitely feels like an 80's movie with current SFX, and that's not a bad thing. It rides a bit high on the nostalgia factor though; I wonder if anyone would be talking about it if it was set currently...I'm really not sure. If you have fond memories of the 80s and like a good horror flick that's high on atmosphere and (relatively) lower on the gore, you'll probably like it. I'd say it's biggest hinderance, besides riding nostalgia, is that a couple of the teens look like they're in their 30s, but that's not really uncommon.

I agree that Lucas looks nothing like the actor there. And Dustin looks like the character in the face, but his body proportions seem out of whack. What's with the stubby legs?

It's all right if you can stand Winona Ryder. Her performance is awful and I make efforts to disregard her presence in the show. I like the way they recreate the 80's and the soundtrack is very appropriate.

 

[NosferatuBill36]

It's a fantastic show with a great soundtrack, an excellent cast, and some really good character development.

Give it a shot.

I felt season 2 was even stronger than season 1--especially the last two episodes which were freaking awesome.

The aforementioned Demogorgon:

Looks like based in the man in a suit, feet are non accurate to the CGI monster. The Super-8 tiny figure by Funko! is much better in that respect, I do hope they correct that before production

 

[Joda]

The legs are a funny thing to not catch. (Ironically, since the actor has so much experience in those kind of suits.) I'm guessing it was intentional for stability.

Found the first two figures at Target today. They had three Elevens and one Hopper (paint was jacked on Hopper so I passed on him)

Oh...looks decent.

I'll have to check my target after work. Hopefully they have a good Hopper.

 

[Joda]

Well... I'm glad I passed.

 

[Reefer Shark]

Found a Hopper with decent paint. Same figure allotment as the first time I found em. 3 Elevens and 1 Hopper.

I'm glad he comes with a coffee mug for "contemplation"
