NECA: Predator Movie Franchise Figures

[greygoose]

It reads like something by a middle schooler, if that.

I know. Maybe that's their target market. I see alot of teenagers in my local shop buying figures.

The armor color of City Hunter looks screen accurate(at the first time) and very nice.


Here pictures of the new carddesign:

Dutch looks on the back so different from the prototyp(lips, eyes).

I hope the final figure looke more like the pictures before.

WTF? That is terrible!

I've never been a fan of NECA packaging, it tends to look very unprofessional and more like a second stage mocks than final retail packaging.

Where to even start...

1. There should be a red line. However the red line is not part of the artwork, but the die/trim line where the board is to be cut. If it's not the trim line, then the J notch at the top will get destroyed on the shelves. Therefore this is not indicative of the retail art.

2. The front predator illustration is flat, lifeless and amateurish. Why is the (wrong) netting all floating 1/8 off his skin? Why are there hard leaf shadows on the helmet if it is night? Predator needs a lot of tweaks to make it look decent.

3. On the back of the packaging "Also available" should instead be "Series 1". They are showing all of the series including the figure being sold, in this case Jungle Dutch. If they want to say "Also available" then they should have removed Jungle Dutch.

4. List the names of the other figures!

5. The Jungle Predator on the back is an old photo and does not have the new ball joint hips.

Where to even start...

1. You're paying WAY too much attention to THE FOOKING PACKAGE.

2. Who really gives a crap.

3. Most of your concerns seem a bit @n@l-retentive.

4. You're paying WAY too much attention to THE FOOKING PACKAGE.

5. And finally...

They tweaked the JP Dutch sculpt. More scowly now.

 

[Dr. Odd]

The head sculpt on the back package looks better imo

I can agree with them at all!

To point 5, this is a picture of the prototype that neca presented at the Toy Fair 2010.

On the Jungle Hunter Predator with the new articulation we dont see the hipjoints.

I hate visible joint, but here the rubber loincloath is over this joints.


More important than the poor packaging is the figur itself.

Im realy scared from this ugly photo of dutch.

This looks so silly with the curved lips.

Hope the figure looks like the prototyp at the Comic Con.

Oh, surprise me.

My wife just came home from ToysRus with the jungle hunter/city hunter 2 pack. Sweet
I dig 'em but was wondering, have they made a jungle hunter with the updated hip joints yet?

Finally got Big Red today! I think he is my new favorite NECA Pred. Just a gorgeous figure...I can't stop looking at him lol. The colors contrast so well with each other and his overall samurai look is so cool. You can get some really sick new poses with the new updated articulation too

Here's some pics of him along with some of my other recent NECA pickups.

(I didn't care too much for these guys at first but displaying them together actually make them look pretty sweet too!)

(Jungle Hunter from 2 pack. We can finally get the classic pose done right now. This guy is also one of my favorites due to improved paint and articulation).

 

[crazypredator2]

nice collection and setups pwnstar511.

 

[The Rider]

Oh, surprise me.
