NECA 1/4 scale predator

[abouttreefitty]

Can someone post a pic of their Predator with the torn netting? I want to see how bad it looks.

I still haven't taken mine out of the box....

This is the chest of the masked and closed mouth Predator's.

On the masked version, the netting is really stiff, dried out and hard around the area of the tear. The other two figures don't have any areas like that.

Got my shipping notice from BBTS today for my 2 sets!
Also, I spent the morning calling local TRUs looking for a helmet version and a open mouth version for 2 co-workers. Only 1 TRU in the whole state showed they had them in stock so I asked them to hold them for me until I could pick them up during my lunch hour. The dude on the phone said that they had all 3 and that they all looked so awesome that he recommended I buy all 3! haha!
So during my lunch hour, we took a drive down and there they were waiting for us. Even though I have my sets shipping from BBTS, I picked up the closed mouth version. What's cool is that I had a $10 off coupon so my Predator rang up for $65! Great deal!
I gaze upon the awesomeness of Predator as I type this message!
GREAT, GREAT, GREAT job, NECA and Kyle!

W00T! P!tu got in on the action!

Just went to Michael's and PETCO today. Got a ton of fake ferns and other plants for my custom diorama as well as a real reptile log that I'll have sprayed with lacquer. Couldn't find any fake moss -- all the moss the stores had was real -- but hopefully I can find some at Craft Warehouse. If not, it's gotta be done online.

I'm planning to have a wooden base with drilled circular holes. The idea is to cut the bottoms of the plastic stems off the fake ferns (so they're not as long) and then secure them in each hole. Next step is to add a custom rod to have the figure lean on. Finally, coat the bottom of the base with some fake moss or grounding, then sprinkle some of the smaller fake leaves and whatnot in random patches, to make it look less flat. Top it off with the big lacquered log as a prop, and presto.

This weekend's going to be awesome. On a somewhat-related note, I'll upload my video review sometime tomorrow. For now, here are a few of the pics you'll see in the review. These I took last weekend, so some are before my little netting tear and some are after (the tear is located at the bottom-left of the torso in the last pic, next to the abs).

Amazing figure. He also has a piece of torn netting on the back of his left bicep. It was pretty tough to catch, but I plan to fix both spots with a veeeeeery small droplet of thin CA super glue, which will also bond the netting to his skin there. Not a big issue.
As far as the visor gap goes, I'm quite happy with the way mine came. The bio helmet still screams P1 at me, so...

Hey Blade, your Pred's mouth color looks a little better than some others I have seen here....or is it just the bright lights drowning out the pic???

Maybe this was a later run of heads???

I love this photo. I can't wait to see how your diorama turns out Blade. Will you be doing a video on making that too?

For anyone in the Phila/Bucks PA/South Jersey Area, Play With This Toys and Collectibles at the Grand Marketplace in Willingboro NJ just got a shipment of 2 each. I just snagged a closed mouth from there so they only have one left of him. I haven't unboxed it yet, don't have anywhere to put (yet) it sadly.
