Since it’s early in this year’s holiday season, I found it prudent to share a feel-good story I came across earlier today. You’ll notice that my last post was about NECA’s uber-awesome upcoming TMNT line. But now I have another uber-awesome thing to tell you about this company. Apparently, they recently stepped into the fray of a messy toy design company versus toy manufacturing facility quagmire to pull out a fellow toy design company’s valuable steel molds. That probably doesn’t make much sense, but after reading this story, it will. Basically, the designers stuck in the muck were none other than the illustrious 4 Horsemen who were struggling to get their FANtastic Exclusive figure produced. The factory they were working with went belly-up on them in the middle of production and then attempted to slip out the back door, leaving the molds that the 4H had already paid thousands of dollars for to fall through the cracks. Well, NECA happened to also have a stake in this factory’s misdeeds, so they flexed a little of their toy muscle to procure 4H’s steel molds for them along with their own. It’s nice to see guys in the toy industry sticking together to help each other out like this. NECA’s good will toward fellow toy men has warmed my holiday heart!
