NECA 1/4 scale predator

[a-dev]

Watched it about 2 months ago with the GF who had managed to never see it before. She doesn't understand what the big deal about it is.

Monster flicks of more recent years and crap like Deep Blue Sea probably crippled her ability to appreciate it.

I've never seen Jaws

Ugh, the only good thing about Deep Blue Sea is when Sam Jackson

was unexpectedly eaten lol.

Ahhhh dude, you should check it out it's the Predator of sea movies.

 

[a-dev]

The characters are classic, the dialogue is so natural, no selfconscious one-liners or anything - the actors really sell it, you never once think they're parrotting off lines - its interesting looking at the 70s the decade just before I was born, the Amity island reminds me of beaches my family would go to in the Summer....and obviously the shark action is excellent. Very scary when you're watching as a child, not so much now, but its still great. Legendary score.

 

[Greenblood72]

Agreed, to me the film remains scary because of the basic fear we have that when we're in the water we have no idea of what's swimming around us or near us.

The whole last half of the film with Hooper, Brody and Quint going out to find and kill the shark is just primal, badass stuff.

 

[a-dev]

I can't make it past the hurdle of seawater being as cold as it tends to be so I don't think I'll ever have to worry about sharks.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Meh, sounds boooorrrrriiiinnnggg......

Nah man, Jaws was it back in the day. It was to water what Alien was to space, at that time.

Movies back then didn't have the eye-popping special FX like today, so the classics from that time had to be solid all around movies. Good story, good acting and good FX. And the FX for that movie using what was available at the time, was about the equivalent of what SWS did with the T-Rex in the JP series.

I'm telling you guys, if you haven't seen Jaws yet, watch it.



Oh, and as a kid, I always loved that poster with the girl swimming and the great white coming straight up at her.

Jaws.

 

[macapaolo]

I really need to get this guy. A masked version and an opened mouth version is good for me. If anyone is selling one, let me know

 

[Philoooo]

and now is it better ????

a little tip : Hair spray on visor to give shine !

 

[Yautja-fr]

it's better

I made up a stand today out of 4.5mm acrylic, looked pretty damn nice... Broke it at the bend when I was peeling off the backing paper. Rookie mistake.

I'll make another next week & post up some pics.

"Theres somethin' out there waitin' for us...and it ain't no man."

Question
Is the bio of the masked predator removeable? And what does he look like underneath it if it's glued to his face? Is it similar to a hot toys falconer?

While JAWS is one of my all-time favorites...in many ways i find John Huston's Moby D!ck to be superior to JAWS. If you guys are into to incrediby well-written, detailed scripts/plots, and GIGANTIC Man-Eating SEA MONSTERS...i suggest picking this one up.

Moby D!ck > JAWS

and Captain Ahab > Captain Quint

No, is not removeable. Not like a Hot Toys. Watch this video (made by EnclineDesigns)
