Yeah. As someone who saw the original film multiple times back in '79, THIS is the first statue work I've seen (apart from a recent resin kit), that comes close to representing the character
as seen in the film to me.
Mostly everything else up till now has been comic book style interpretations emphasizing postures and attitudes that look dynamic but were the antithesis of what was actually seen on screen.
While this was never a film still pose per se, I could envision a scene with him lying in wait like this and then slowly bringing his head up as his victim is paralyzed with fear...
Was waiting a long time for something more authentic like this to come along. But at this point I already have the second Neca 22" figure and that's probably all I need. Too much other new stuff in the pipeline now to double dip here. Especially given how expensive it's likely to be.
