So someone said they were saddened that Newt was a SDCC exclusive and this is what Carrie & Randy said:
Thing to remember is that Newt is a 100% newly tooled figure. NECA will probably do a worldwide release of her outside of an SDCC exclusive. The SDCC will probably have certain accessories that the general release will not include.
I don't think we need to be worried about this. NECA has never done a whole new character as only an exclusive.

Could be Drake since they already sculpted the smart gun!
