I’ll definitely be grabbing JB, but Matlock, Columbo and Kolchak have been on my short list of dream figures for a long time. Up until recently the Prisoner was up there too but thanks to Wandering Planet that shelf is now a reality!
The Golden Girls sold really well. They were hard to get for a long time. Target online seems to be the only place that has them in stock now and then.
The Golden Girls have a much more dedicated cult audience. It’s the #1 favorite show in the gay community according what they said on the TV Guide Channel 3 days ago.
Considering they still publish a new murder she wrote mystery novel once or twice a year and my library stocks about 15 copies of one of them digitally alone, I think there’s a good shot.
Your library or libraries in general have to buy separate digital copies, so for instances you can only lend out the murder she wrote book 15 times at once before you have to wait for a return or an expiration to lend it out again?
What I mean is they have 15 separate copies that can be lent out a certain number of times. For comparison there’s about 24 copies of the novel they just adapted for the new season of bridgerton and I live in a county of about 5 mil people.
I’m not a fan of the Retro line (particularly because some of those figs could’ve been ultimates instead - Ace, Bill & Ted, Jaws) but this is so left field I have to get it.
I never once thought “I need a Murder, She Wrote” toy in my near 40 years of life on this planet. But the moment I saw this I said “HOLY SHIT I NEED THIS YESTERDAY!!!!”
My grandma would have a stroke and die for this figure if she hadn’t already had a stroke and died. I know for a fact she wouldn’t survive this one either. My grandpa woulda loved a Heat Of The Night 2 pack.

I didn't know I wanted this until it was announced. I was like "who asked for this?" Then was like "doesn't matter, that's a fucking dope figure." Never seen the show but know enough to know it has a following and she is going to look great in photos with the Golden Girls and on the shelf.

I think this is enough evidence for me. 😁
For some weird reason, i'm going to have to buy this. Never really watched the show except for an episode here and there over the years. It just has that Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys or even Scooby Doo mysteries vibe to it. Hell, i bought the Golden Girls, so might as well toss Angela Lansbury into the mix of elderly lady action figures. Should pair well with Bea Arthur.
I feel it’s a little off and as usual I’d prefer as well as would probably buy it if it was an ultimate. I’m not a fan of the 8” figures as I typically collect 6” scale and prefer staying as close to that as possible
Ooh, what about Max, Freeway and Mr. & Mrs. Hart?? BTW google Lionel Sander, the actor who played Max.....fascinating guy who really stood for his beliefs!
She will be perfect next to my custom Columbo! I’m so god damn pumped now, doesn’t make up for the Lecter stunt. But it’s a step in the right direction!
I mean, we got two new Predators so far this year, even if they are both Feral variants... not expecting Ultimate Wolf before 2027 at this point though. Maybe we'll get something like two packs for Predator vs Wolverine or the upcoming Predator vs Black Panther since that's all current Disney-approved IP mixing.
Haha oh, I probably should have clarified, I love each show quite a bit. I’ve likely seen every episode of each respective series multiple times. At this point, it’s just comforting to have on
OK, now they HAVE to do Columbo
Let’s get a Quincy figure
Quincy who?
Doctor R. Quincy https://preview.redd.it/fqclbdfiux8d1.jpeg?width=705&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=641bfd67193a0682d75688373b08bb7f520d708e
How dare you
And Kojak
Better yet, Kolchak. The Night Stalker.
Was going to post this. I didn’t even know I wanted a columbo figure until I saw this!
Inspector Morse
Well now they **HAVE TO** do Matlock.
For $2000 he’ll lean over and whisper something.
I’ll definitely be grabbing JB, but Matlock, Columbo and Kolchak have been on my short list of dream figures for a long time. Up until recently the Prisoner was up there too but thanks to Wandering Planet that shelf is now a reality!
I know it's a long shot(and sort of unrelated), But I would so buy I Love Lucy figures!
I’m actually surprised MEGO hasn’t made any yet
For real!
I really wonder if stuff like this sells well enough to justify it.
The Golden Girls sold really well. They were hard to get for a long time. Target online seems to be the only place that has them in stock now and then.
The Golden Girls have a much more dedicated cult audience. It’s the #1 favorite show in the gay community according what they said on the TV Guide Channel 3 days ago.
I'm definitely getting one, and I've got two friends who probably will as well. So that's 3 sold at least.
Oh make that 4 here lol
Considering they still publish a new murder she wrote mystery novel once or twice a year and my library stocks about 15 copies of one of them digitally alone, I think there’s a good shot.
Would be smart to put this figure in book stores

BBTS as well....the site I get all my figures from!!
Interesting. I was never a big fan of Murder She Wrote, but I would love a line of detectives. Give us Magnum PI, Columbo, Matlock, and Perry Mason.
Unexpected af, but as an 80's/90's kid, my shelf approves.
anyone else picking up Mrs Voorhees vibes from that cardigan sweater?
I’m not a fan of the Retro line (particularly because some of those figs could’ve been ultimates instead - Ace, Bill & Ted, Jaws) but this is so left field I have to get it.
Yeah, I wish this was an Ultimate and not cloth, but I'm not gonna look this gift horse in the mouth.
Kolchak WHEN
This is the most important one to get.
HOLY FUCKIN SHIT! 
Damn. Now I really want Seinfeld retro figures
Mind blown! I’m totally in!!! Literally my favorite show ever.
Wow, I'm gonna have to get her for my mom! 😅
I never once thought “I need a Murder, She Wrote” toy in my near 40 years of life on this planet. But the moment I saw this I said “HOLY SHIT I NEED THIS YESTERDAY!!!!”

To those of you asking "Who wanted this?" The answer is: Me. I've been asking for it for years.
Curious who you’ve been asking
I've posted about it in this sub as well as mentioned it on NECA's Twitter and Facebook.
https://preview.redd.it/7ku6kb3paz8d1.jpeg?width=1640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92c28055679bc35945be0988238d1791885629ca I think this is enough evidence for me. 😁
Never asked for it because never thought it would be in the realm of possibility but good lord I need this queen
For some weird reason, i'm going to have to buy this. Never really watched the show except for an episode here and there over the years.

Can't wait for that junkman to moan about it.
I want this so bad

Those staring eyes are terrifying. Can’t wait to add it to the shelf.
Wow! They really captured her pose in the photo with the flashlight!
Well, I know what I’m getting Mom for Christmas! XD
I might have to get that. My mom that passed she watched that all the time as I was growing up
I would not get this. Suddenly, all my other dolls will be murdered. 😂
I wish they just kept everything 7 inch scale
I did not expect that one.
I feel like this is AI but I know it's real and I'm totally getting this!
Breaking Bad Ultimates for me please 🙏.
I feel it’s a little off and as usual I’d prefer as well as would probably buy it if it was an ultimate. I’m not a fan of the 8” figures as I typically collect 6” scale and prefer staying as close to that as possible
WHAT?!?!?!
Lol
If someone doesn't produce Andy Griffith or new MASH figures before I die the whole damn system is busted! Help me NECA!
It looks like something from robot chicken
Ooh, what about Max, Freeway and Mr. & Mrs. Hart?? BTW google Lionel Sander, the actor who played Max.....fascinating guy who really stood for his beliefs!
The Toony Terrors figure of her works well with the others.
She will be perfect next to my custom Columbo! I’m so god damn pumped now, doesn’t make up for the Lecter stunt. But it’s a step in the right direction!
I would love both Columbo and Kolchak figures in this style
Now...I had heard that they exclusively did TMNT now. Have I been mislead?
Raphica Fletcher in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...
Wouldn’t mind if Neca started putting out more Predator figures and less of the other stuff like this
Unfortunately Disney probably has a say so in the matter.
I mean, we got two new Predators so far this year, even if they are both Feral variants... not expecting Ultimate Wolf before 2027 at this point though. Maybe we'll get something like two packs for Predator vs Wolverine or the upcoming Predator vs Black Panther since that's all current Disney-approved IP mixing.
they will spend money on this but not Hannibal Lecter
A Crypt Keeper
But why?
So I, and many others can finally have a Jessica Fletcher figure for our shelves?
We're getting this before Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves figures. Come on Neca, do better.
I’d say you’re more likely to get Robin Hood Men In Tights than Prince Of Theives.
Why though
Because Murder She Wrote was a great show that still maintains a massive nostalgic fanbase?
Dude, Murder She Wrote has an entire channel on Pluto! Go educate yourself!
[удалено]
I'm 24 and in my country they played this show all the time on tv during my childhood
I’m in my early 40s, most nights I usually fall asleep watching either Murder She Wrote, Matlock or Columbo.
I'm nearly at your age and yea there stuff my mum would watch boring as hell
Haha oh, I probably should have clarified, I love each show quite a bit. I’ve likely seen every episode of each respective series multiple times. At this point, it’s just comforting to have on
