Re: Neca 1/4 Predator
How can we not say the word if you don't tell us what it is?

Cut down a tree with a herring? It can't be done.
No, she has to be a crack head. Only crackheads can fit in boxes.
Do NECA have the power to send me Keeley Hazell and Holly Peers while persuading my G/F to be totally alright with it?
I've seen a few 18" NECA at my Local TRU, and they tend to sell, so I'm hoping to see this there. But it typically is hit or miss with TRU., they get what comes off the truck from what I'm told.I doubt this will be sold in stores. It'll probably be like the Balrog. No matter how cool, NECA's 18inchers rarely ever seel.
Then buy two for $160. Still, you get unmasked and masked version!

I did an image search for those two girls (purely for research you understand) and let me be the first to say...YUMMY!
I wish they could but, the figure costs just too much to make to sell for that cheap. All of the molds, assembly costs, paint apps... NECA has to pay for all of that for each figure and the Predator figure is one of the most expensive and complex figures to produce.
Most 18" have, what? 7,8 POA at the max? This guy has 20. And parts? Heck, his unmasked head face is made up of 6 or 7 individual parts that have to be assembled and painted. And speacking of paint, the paint apps are crazy. Look at his hand: Brown skin, black spots/fingernails, different brown glove, gloss coat on skin... that's 4 different paint apps just for 1 hand! Those assemblers/painters in china don't work for free, and stuff like that costs extra. The cost of NECA to make even the heads is so high they would either have to price the figure at $200 to sell all 3 heads at once (which is not feasable for a company that operates like NECA) or do what they are doing: 1 head per figure, split across 3 figures for $80 a piece. That way they make thier money invested back, and are able to sell the product within the parameters of the way the company sets pricing and retail value.
