Re: Neca 1/4 Predator
You can see the stages of processing? Would be very interesting.

yeah i'm not gonna miss the airbrushed blast burns on the armor/helmet. the only time i've seen that look good was on the actual prop costume and it looks cheap on everything else. good riddance.We're going to put more into our proto than HT did. HT was smart though because they didn't use as much color as we did but they knew how to make it look great with less. For example on the armor they used only two colors but still it looks great. I'm thinking on our 18inch figure that we should ditch the blast marks. Those never look great even on the CM. We're going to add more color to the head and it should look really great. It will be easier for China production to make this big guy look nice. We're hoping for the best and the good news we're not rushed to make a deadline like we did with the Predators figures for example.
Its not just isolated cases i spoke about. If this predator was really high quality and the paint has no slop and was as good as hot toys medicom enterbay and it came with the 2 extra heads you could charge the same price as them and people would be very happy despite the lack of articulation . People would pay much more for higher quality and it might help to redeem neca in the eyes of some. I hope you take time and really think about what you are doing as this predator is going to be looked at by so many fans out there. It could be super great and its not an opportunity to waste to save a few bucks or more in production. You guys really need to get on the ball with this one and do the best job you ever have with it.
And how do we know you are who you say you are? Its pretty far fetched that a neca sculptor would join a forum like this to help sell products. No offence if you are who you say you are.
What right do you have to question someone on this forum?? All you've done since coming here is degrade NECA with your negative posts, but give all the love in the world to HT, who'se figures may have top articulation, but are incredibly inaccurate.
Why havent we seen any photos of the product since its been officially announced already? Preorders are up and we havent even seen good shots of the product from neca and only have the assurances of someone saying hes the one that sculpted it. I call bull____. We should have a bunch of photos showing us what we should expect before we consider buying it and not just prototype photos a fan took at wonderfest or something .
Well you should take your own advice and stop questioning me then. All the major products that get discussed here are open to scrutiny and comment and neca is not immune from that. And saying hot toy isnt accurate compared with neca is just stupid because they are different things and comparing them as anywhere near equal. and you cant even see the accuracy on necas because the sculpts are dull an ill defined and have none of the super sharp lifelike paint and details that high end products do. neca makes cheap throw away toys that you buy at the average corner toy store. they might not be throw away to some but some collect the stuff Mc Donalds gives away as well. I only have a few necas these days but they have the chance to blow us away with this one and I hope they take the opportunity to do it right rather than save a few dollars or more at the factory production level and mess it up some way.

We should have a bunch of photos showing us what we should expect before we consider buying it and not just prototype photos a fan took at wonderfest or something. They have told us they were using new factories before and the products were only marginally better than the old one and Im not holding my breath this time because of that history. There is going to be a real ____storm if people start getting their orders and start seeing the same old problems and quality deficiencies that havent been dealt with properly and all neca will say is sorry its the best we could do and blame it all on the Chinese factory just like they always do. $80 is VERY expensive for an 18" neca and I have the feeling that its more about profit making than giving the fans the best that can be done to justify the higher price.
And if tankman is who he says he is he could post some photos that would make us believe he is who he says and not just post photos that get released everywhere and them comment on them after the fact. Give us some concrete answers instead of all this airy fairy stuff that anyone could say because its already been talked about on twitter and the like. Again Im sorry if he is who he claims he is but the www is full of people on twitter etc pretending to be celebs and whoever.

I love it when noobs are demanding douchebags right from the beginning.
Why don't you give it a break Sabres21768?
YOU ARE MAKING ALL TROLLS LOOK BAD!
I think you should leave the blast marks ,as they are movie accurate, and make predator look battle worn , not like brand new, never had any former battles, hunts before.( nothing should be taken away, only added and improved)

The mask will be dead on to what I sculpted and hopefully I got it close. The first test shot are do in this week and I'll see for myself how the big guy is coming along. Fingers crossed there will not be many things to get China to fix.

Not being funny but if you hate Neca products so much, don't post on the threads. Ofcourse you can see the accuracy on Neca's sculpts. Paint is easily altered, and for $15 I really don't see why you're getting so ____ing _____y about it.
ALL the 18" Neca figures I have are awesome. Their newest Predators may not have the best paint but they are far more accurate than any other toy company is producing.
