frankly, i don't know what to expect to get from them. they're outwardly ignoring the format that has the largest collector's market to push larger scale items that will collect dust on store shelves no matter what they price it at. i had a conversation with my LCS owner a while back about NECA's 18" scale figures and he refuses to stock any more because they don't sell, period. he can't even clearance some of them out. meanwhile, he can't keep 1:6 stuff in stock no matter how fast he orders more. i don't get what NECA is trying to prove by making giant poorly-painted figures with a tiny niche market. some are impressive when i see them in the store, but once i get them home, all they do is take up too much space and stick out like sore thumbs with my 1:6 collection. i think it's silly and i'm not gonna reward them for it.

) won't buy unless the paintjob looks like on the prototype. Fat chance, but we'd be getting a larger figure for a larger pricepoint than usual. That extra $20-$30 we'd be spending better be for a good reason.
would push it closer to must-have territory for me. I love that Predator 'clicking' sound. I'd also like it to have the roar, the plasma cannon targeting and firing sounds and ideally all his human phrases and Billy laugh.
