Still waiting for some reissues I give a ____ about.

Sprig, I like you, you're in my friend's list (I think), however, I don't see ANY NECA fanboy trolling going on here. In fact, it's usually the opposite.

Like I have to repeatedly say, over and over, I'm not a fan of NECA or HT. I really, really, really, really, really just want the most accuracy. And HT is capable of delivering this, but they simply won't. That's why I usually prefer the NECA figures over HT's. Because the sculpt is almost always dead-on.

I like this figure, it's cool, it's a huge improvement over the first release in the paint/detail department...but the MOST IMPORTANT parts of it are screwed up. Bio/face. And it's somthing easily avoidable..so as a huge Predator fan, I have a right to be disappointed.

Thanks for all the sentimental stuff but you're the last one I'd call a NECA fanboy. You complain about everything

This is a huge improvement over their original release in every way, even with the inaccuracies. HT isn't fools. They know what they're doing. They see people trying to mod they're old Predators to fit these newer bodies. They see what early releases of there's goes for big money. Why put the time and effort into new lines when they can still bleed these old ones out, that they know will sell.

Love 'em or hate 'em, these companies like Hot Toys and Sideshow care only about the almighty dollar. If 10,000 people buy their products, they could give a ____ less about the petty complaints.

All in all, still don't think I'm gonna get this. I have the 4 from Predators, and nothing about any they're putting out just screams "you need me!" Now if a new Wolf comes out, and they do a decent job (which anything would be an improvement over that anerexic one out now) then I'll probably get another Pred.

And you'll pay $100 more than the rest of us, too. Which IMO is ____ing nuts for a figure that's already overpriced.

? Nope. Ill probably pay the same as all the guys in America pay and about £20 less than if id of bought it in the UK (and probably 2 months earlier)

Sorry I don't look over everything with a magnifying glass Only thing different I see completely new is the headsculpt. The body I'm guessing is from the classic Predator from Predators. The breathing mask is from the guardian Predator,etc

Enjoy the $200+ reissue with a new headsculpt.

This is one of those SSF jokes that I really don't get

 

[j97e1]

Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's up again!!!!! A miracle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sprig0701]

Sorry I don't look over everything with a magnifying glass unlike some Predator nerds here Only thing different I see completely new is the headsculpt. The body I'm guessing is from the classic Predator from Predators. The breathing mask is from the guardian Predator,etc

Enjoy the $200+ reissue with a new headsculpt.

The re-breather is from the City Hunter. Guardian (or Gort) never had one in the movie, and the one included with the Guardian toy was a different sculpt from the P2's. P2 had everyone of those accessories in the movie.

 

[EndIessRAlN]

Ok it's available again and the countdown is gone. It's such a gimmick.

 

[sprig0701]

Some people only pull the trigger on these if they feel it's "limited". SSC is just yanking some chains.

I don't own the first one released, but if the items were already accurate to begin with, why do they need to change them? And I'm talkibg about the accessories, whether they are reissus or not. The body looks great with the armor. Again, my only concern is the porous mask that looks rusted, but I bet they will fix it. And even then, it's not a deal breaker for me.
