Neca has a 1:6 line of cloth figures that are half the price of Mezco's 1:12 line, and well, they did Chucky while Mezco only does really weird scales of Chucky, and tend to prefer what he looks like in Bride of Chucky. However, one does NOT get the same quality from Neca when it comes to their 1:9 line, there's only one head, the one attached to the body, no multiple head sculpts, no stand, and just his basic weapons, and the joints aren't nearly as well done as Mezco does joints. They also don't do the greatest job on weapons, they tend to fall out of the hands very easy, I had to position his knife in a kind of crooked way for it to stay put but the hardest part was getting a stand to work for the figure, there's no peg holes in the feet so peg stands are out, and its too small for the traditional claw stand. So I took a Kaiser stand and I bent it in two places to drop it down by about 3-4 inches, doesn't look horrible, and that worked.
So I mentioned the iffy things, what about the good things? The sculpt is pretty solid, they got the colors down very well and they're very high def lets say, the head sculpt is pretty good, his teeth aren't perfectly white, which they shouldn't be, and they did a good job on the freckle placement this time around, on some of their earlier Chucky's, they either forgot to paint them on or made them way too dark. And while Mezco always goes for "molded hair", Neca went with rooted and did a pretty solid job as far as I can tell. The figure is about 5 inches tall, maybe 5.5, and judging from pics I've seen online of the toy standing next to other Neca 1:6 figures. One issue, Neca's other cloth figures are 1:9, so for Chucky to be within scale with other Neca figures, it would have to be a 1:6 Neca figure.
In short, its a cool figure, its not expensive, half the price of the typical Mezco figure, and I usually don't keep all of the accessories Mezco includes anyways. I'm also probably switching to 1:6, Chucky needs a pal.. but Neca should have marketed the figure being in the 1:6 scale, but they don't really officially give a scale size to their cloth line, they just run with it.
Speaking of the Chuck, they have at least ten episodes being tweaked, twerked, whatever, the pandemic just put things on ice but they're still shooting for this year and it will still be the Syfy network, and don't expect Syfy to tone things down too much, maybe less foul language but the violence will be the same since AMC gets away with R rated violence, so can Syfy, same rules. Funny how bad words are a no, no, but bashing skulls in and having pieces flying is ok. But that's life in well... life...
