That unless selektiv dies in all his incarnations he'll never ever sculpt a pred or alien again. Or anything else for that matter.

Well, that was not fun. I hope that guy don't show up no more.

I stand corrected, but I still will stand by my original feelings of, I get annoyed by people pointing out little things. I will express my feelings just as they will theirs. It is a win win.

This is not a little thing anymore. They still have time to fix it.

I understand that, hence the I stand corrected part. And I will decide what I deem to be little and I think that is a little thing. What I believe to be little may be different to what you believe is little. Different people, different views.

Re: NECA 1/4 Predator
It's a ____ing little thing. Fact. Tankman, dont fix nothing. It's fine. If you guys dont ____ up the paint, this thing will be amazing.
Anyone who has a problem with that little gap shouldnt buy the figure, as they are too picky to buy anything. This isnt like the Hot Toys Alien. This is a teeny, tiny little minor detail that's only a tad bit a miss. Not even worth the effort to fix.

Re: NECA 1/4 Predator
Sorry to go off topic but regarding the Terminator figures -
Tankman, any chance the Steel Mill T-1000 might come with an extra clean headsculpt (same one as Galleria figure) and a normal left hand? And could the motorcycle cop have a normal human left arm? They seem to be light on extras and these would be the most desirable additions if it were possible.

Re: NECA 1/4 Predator
I don't get it
. Tell me why not to improve it if there is still a possibility to do so ?

Re: NECA 1/4 Predator
Yeah, really. Plus, this whole thing is being hailed as the biggest and most accurate P1 figure ever made... so why not go for broke? If it's not 100%, then somewhere down the line, this thing's spot on the pedestal might be taken away.
Like you said, CelticP. It's a little thing. So why let the accuracy of the piece fall short because of one, tiny, completely-fixable issue? There's been too much work done to have it barely miss the mark due to a lense gap that's too wide. Fix it, NECA

Re: NECA 1/4 Predator
Well yeah I agree, if it can be fixed, troublefree, it makes more sense to do so than it does to just leave it.
Don't get so close to perfection only to just say '..meh' on a conceivably avoidable, no matter how minor, issue.

Re: NECA 1/4 Predator
If there is any type of inaccuracy, it's okay to point it out. If it's as small as the one with the Bio and you start complaining about it, then you deserve CelticP's rant.
No offense to you CelticP, I know you're proud of your ranting.
It's always good to have a problem fixed no matter how small, though.

Re: NECA 1/4 Predator
I don't know that its that small of an issue - I'm no predator accuracy nut and even I noticed it.

Re: NECA 1/4 Predator
No it's not. He shouldnt have to do that.
And plus, why would he go and perfect the Predator, but the Alien got the shaft with that hidious dome head?
The dome was more of an issue....but that stayed unfixed. Bah....

Re: NECA 1/4 Predator
Okay, after extensive searching and study, it seems clear that the 8" Masked version will not have the larger gap in the visor.
Here is the very first 2-up proto of it from Toy fair '10"
Dead on, and accurate.
The catalog shots of the 2-up proto:
Once again, accurate and perfect.
And the actual 8" factory-produced figure at this year's toy Fair:
Looks good to me. Small, thin slit between the "nose" and "Brow"
Now, here is the test shot of the 1/4th:
The gap is definitely noticeable if you look closely.
And the figure from this years Toy Fair:
A big difference between this and the others.
I wonder if this mask for the 1/4th is a brand-new sculpt, or if the up-sizing process to make the figure so big made the normally small slit at an 8" or 16" scale, much larger.
Either way, the figure still looks great and I'm sure everything will be done to fix it. Just though I'd chime in to show that ya don't have to wory about the 8" scale one's mask.
