Yes, it was obvious that NECA could not put the name of Kick-Ass' nemisis, "The Motherfucker" (formally "Red Mist" from the first film) on the packaging if it was going to be in stores like Toys R Us and FYE, but it looks like even the name "Kick-Ass" will be censored, too.
But if you're headed to this years' San Diego Comic-Con, then NECA is going to give you the chance to own these figures in the uncensored packaging they are meant to be in.
The set will cost you $75 at the show. More than I'd like to pay for some cuss words on the packaging-- especially considering the fact the that figures will the exact same ones that will arrive at retail-- but if you want to keep thes carded, or just want to get them a little early, then this might very will be worth the extra coin.
Even though I'm old enough for Kick-Ass, I refuse to have anything to do with that franchise because of how it parodies extraordinary heroes. If there's a law against creating that franchise, I'd use it against its creator. That is, if I know how to take action against him or her and if I have what it takes to sue.
