Thrashball only limited to 100 pieces?! An exclusive that lives up to it's name, that's what I like to see. Probably won't have a chance to get the 'bronze edition' but I much prefer the full colour one anyway. I just don't like all these gold, bronze or platinum paint jobs. :)

Ah I was wondering when NECA was going to announce their final exclusives.

The Gears is a pass for me as I don't collect statues, much less ones that are one stupid color. I may get the Walking Dead bust if I have money left over at the end of the show. :rolleyes:

While I'm not particularly thrilled about these announcements I will give NECA points for creativity by taking the non-cliched route. The last few years have been nothing but 7" figure exclusives so it's nice to see them spicing it up a bit.
