Re: Neca 1/4 Predator

Every year Kyle outdoes himself. This is his Sistine Chapel...until the T1 figures are shown of course.

Re: Neca 1/4 Predator

I own the newest T-800 and I ADORE it

Do you mean the T2 T-800? For me, it is one of poorly done head sculpts compared to Neca 12" Gallerie Mall T800. The likeness to Arnie is not good enough.
As for P1, judge them only when the actual product of this 1/4 come out.
Normally mass production will have QC problem, , even with HT.
For example, the Tracker in series2, there are many cases of broken tusks.

Re: Neca 1/4 Predator

I'm so pissed i missed out on the hot toys pred 1, that I will snap up a few of these, when they come out as the prices just seem to sky rocket.
Looks good from the inital pic and good value for the money.

Might get all 3, depending what the differences are.

Neca 12" Gallerie Mall T800 looks horrible compare to HT T-800. HT T-800 has spot-on likeness !

Hot toys proto photos are stunning to the likeness, actual product not exactly.
Of course the paint job is far superior, but HS not.

Re: Neca 1/4 Predator

Is the netting separate or molded? It says separate, but looks molded to the figure in the pic.

Re: Neca 1/4 Predator

We're spending more money on this guy and it will have a nice paint job. I've held the prototype in hand and the geek in me went through the roof. Seeing it so big was a dream come true. The net will be really cool. We have a better factory working on this bad boy. I'm so greedy and want P2 and the Elder big like this. As far as the HT figure goes I'd say to the fans just get both even though this figure will stamp the poor skinny HT into a Predator grave and only cost 75 bucks.

Tankman can I remove the netting without damaging it? I mean is there a way to do that? I am asking this because maybe I want a repaint on this guy if it won't turn out that great as you said. Do you seriously think it's paint job will be better than the HT one? I hope you are right about this one. I will getting the masked version.

It will be separate.

Re: Neca 1/4 Predator

To Hell with it!

I went ahead and ordered the 3 version pack from BBTS!

Kyle, you have to autoghrap me one of these one of these days


BTW: I have owned and own LOTS of Predators, from the Billiken kit to the McFarlane 12", the Shirawa Japanese Garage Kits, the Premium Format maquette and the HT 12" figure and for me this one is the BEST one yet!

Re: Neca 1/4 Predator

that elder looks awesome. anyone found anywhere in the UK taking preorders yet?

Re: Neca 1/4 Predator

I'll mostlikely get all three depending on what this actually looks like when it's released. Using a different factory means nothing because Neca has said that in the past and I really don't see significant differences in older and newer figures from them. The netting is probably going to be a _____ to take off, since it will probably be in sections.
If it looks anything like their 2up I'm in:

It might be kind of tricky really to get the net off. For me the HT figure is painted nice but the body and skulls could be better. We hope to make our head as good as the HT but we'll have to see. I think they put most of the focus on the head but the mouth is kind of on the red side. We were looking at the HT and thinking maybe we can get a better paint job but we'll have to wait and see. Wouldn't it be great if we could and I can tell you at the bigger scale it will be really impressive.
Lots of fans seem to be kind of upset the new HT Predators cost so much. I'd say yeah but look at the paint jobs. That had to cost a lot to paint that nice.

That would so rule wouldn't it?

Re: Neca 1/4 Predator

This will be bigger than HT...

Hot toys is still better, that thing looks like a giant toy, hot toys is a work of art.

Re: Neca 1/4 Predator

How soon will you guys see a sample figure, Kyle?

 

[tcollector]

Re: Neca 1/4 Predator

I've been a HT fan but I must say that these look very promising. I'll save final judgment when we see the final products.

I for one am just glad to see the strong interest by companies to put out more Predator products no matter who is behind it.

Thank you Tankman! I really hope the paint on the hunter will turn out great. Also I am still amazed how good the sculpt looks like on your pred. I don't know if you remember, but earlier we talked about the accuracy of the Predator maquette. While it is very accurate...I am shocked that your pred is even more dead on than Sidesow's piece which I own. And this is a big deal! You are really a great talent and I am happy because you are here and talk with us in this forum. For long time I only bought high end collectibles and this will be the first when I will buy something which is not in that category. This is how movie accurate your predator is. Congratulations!
