NECA: Predator Movie Franchise Figures

[Jester]

Oh, you have ''detailed files'' on the marines too.

Well, not to the extent that BBT does. That guy's just crazy.

 

[crows]

Its all part of his game. He says no, then he 'relents' and everyone buys them despite inaccuracies. Next we will get a couple years of him saying "no" to accurate figures before he 'relents' again to release the 'accurate 2.0' AvP preds and everyone will lose their mind and buy them all over again.

Whether he is childish or an evil genius, the man knows how to milk a money cow.

well, never thought about it that way... it certainly would make sense for him to release the AVP predators twice with the excuse of fixing the problems with the first wave

That made my day.

Yeah you hit marines pretty good. The colors/painting errors drive me insane especially because it is such an easy fix! So lazy to do it wrong over and over...

Oh, and they didn't put slings on the flame units (when every flame unit had a sling in the film)

As for further Neca errors, since we seem to be compiling a master list, The "survival" Rambo came with an M16 that had the magazine SCULPTED backwards. Its one thing if a part that is assembled incorrectly (like the backward wrist blades on some preds) as accidents happen, but sculpting it backwards from the jump is pretty absurd.

Happy to help.

Indeed. So close and yet so far...

Its one thing if a part that is assembled incorrectly (like the backward wrist blades on some preds) as accidents happen, but sculpting it backwards from the jump is pretty absurd.

I remember thinking that that must have been based on an actual screencap of Stallone wielding an M16 with the mag jammed in back-to-front for whatever reason (like Robocop's arm-cannon) because nobody could get something so basic and simple so very wrong, right?

As for further errors, off the top of my head, I've noticed that the GOW3 Damon Baird figure (in addition to having a pretty heinously off-model face) is inaccurate to the in-game model of the character's costume, as NECA, for whatever reason, gave him the same ripped-up sleeves as the Marcus Fenix figure, when Baird should be sleeveless like the COG Soldier figure (with whom he shares a number of parts to begin with).

Wait...what? *Immediately runs to check his figure* OMG...I never noticed that Damn, Neca... At least they got the knife right.

Ultimate Jungle Hunter with 2 or 3 Heads and light up features!!!!!! That would be cool and an instant purchase

 

[Jace Madan]

Cool, can't wait to see what it is for!

That must be an 18inch figure surely. Well, certainly that sample is.

There's no way they'd get electronics into the 7-8inch figures.

Yup exactly... I just hope when they make 1/4 Scar he gets the same treatment with light up gauntlet and light up laser target.

I was thinking the same thing. It may be for an updated version of the 1/4th figure with updated articulation. The only reason I would say it's not is that you can see the netting is sculpted on the skin area on the elbow, and the netting on the 1/4th figures was a separate piece.

Could be just a place holder though....

 

[a-dev]

Having bought the first three 18inch Jungle Hunters I can't see myself buying another. It'll be a pretty basic lighting set-up anyway at low end mass-production, with possible bleeding into areas where it shouldn't be.

I agree 1000 %, hope they make one for sure with all the trimmings.

 

[mister_e]

This is really exciting. I really hope it is a new 1/4 Jungle Hunter with the improved articulation. I find it hard to fathom them putting electronics into a 7"-8" figure.

I deeply greet anything new in 1/4 scale. But if they decide to reproduce P1 beside illuminated wrist computer what else can we expect to be revised? Fixed visor gap, seam etc.?

they could paint the skin the correct color( bannna yellow )and fix the netting for sure.

I doubt they'd do anything about the netting. I think the biggest downside to the original 1/4 P1 is the swivel hips and thigh cuts. I would add the single jointed knees as well, but I rarely put them to use on the P2 1/4s, so it's not that big a deal to me. Ball jointed thighs would open up a lot of posing options though. Personally, I don't care for light up features. Especially on the wrist gauntlet.

the problem with ball jointed thighs is that they Break Easily... I barely move my P2 predator because I am so afraid of that. (I have seen pics of people in here that got broken predators

I personally am really happy with the Thigh cuts of the original. I know it won't break just by looking at it.
