NECA 1/4 scale predator

Wow — I suppose a reissue? Considering prices now, the $130 isn’t bad at all

Looks like a reissue of the led predator. Not bad for the price considering current cost of things. I thought they’d at least do 35th anniversary packaging.

Same here. I missed it the first time around. Glad to finally get it at a decent price.

They didn't give it the added articulation of the Ultimate figure then. Not necessarily a bad thing at this scale.

Did the reissues ever sort out the forehead seam and the excessive gap between the brow and the 'nose' of the mask? These were problems on the very first release - and you can see them on the full body-shot figure here and yet not the top-right pic demonstrating the light up targeting lazers.

Yes the original LED release fixed the forehead seam and minimized the visor gap. Just wish they’d add some little touches to this release like better paint apps, improve fish net material, trophy skull/spine like the Gort release, and a reflective mesh visor (and like mentioned, 35th anniversary packaging). Who knows— maybe will get some of those improvements, but it’s looking more like a straight up reissue (which is fine, I’m going to custom repaint it anyway!)

Best Predator you can buy today by far the biggest bang for the buck...

Bummed that they've not updated the hip articulation.

I prefer this hip articulation over the newer ones. The ones with ratchet joints like to snap.

I preordered two. I have two already but I want to make some customs. Id like to make Wasp and Albino to go with Bed Red.

C'mon NECA make 1/4 lost clan and Wolf...

Decided to put some gloss black adhesive vinyl on the visor until I get a dremel and hollow it out for a screen mesh and reflective lens. Some pics and comparisons to factory black visor:

Yea they have started doing re issues of the closed mouth and masked.

Would of preffered 1/4 AVP SCAR/CELTIC/CHOPPER.

Damn my bad, just masked for now

Wiped the slate clean and repainted the mask again lol. Also added new quills using aquarium grass that I painted black and glued on:

''If it bleeds awesomeness, we can display it''..........

Anywhere in the uk getting these?
Had the original masked and led versions but sold them, third times the charm I guess

That’s just crazy impressive.

Nice mods Didn't know about the re release

I originally had to forget about it because of the prices but this time am definitely gonna get one

Can you let us know if the rerelease has the issues that were on the original release - seam going across the forehead of the biomask, excessive gap between brow and 'nose' of biomask. I would consider buying it if those are definitely fixed and it doesn't bring any new problems.
