54 Neca arrived today.
I'm going to be that guy. I've watched some youtube reviews and everyone seems to love the 54. I do really like it. The mold detail and articulation is simply fantastic. However, I don't like the deco. They went full on with a black and white motiff. I might even be one of the few, but I would have liked to have seen some color in this mold. The mouth area, teeth and tongue, are all in a black and white deco, ie: shades of gray. By itself, it looks great, but when you put it aside of the other NECA figures, the black and white asethetic kind of sticks out. I realize that this is a selling point for most people. Me, I would have liked some color in mouth area, white-ish teeh, red-ish tongue.
That said, the deco seems to be the most flat of all the NECA figures, which is a good thing, IMO. I'm not a fan of the shiny.
