I would of went with higher shipping. But the lowest shipping itself was about 16$ us which is about 21$ Cad.
ha, i remember this set. ordered it after decades again for nostalgic reasons.
I got it because of the tribute and the black domed alien. Also it will be my first predator figure and my first predator in general.
yep, that alien+predator set:
no possibility of watching the movie then or download screenshots, so it was nice enough ) i remember taking heads of other toys and putting them in a jar with fairy, pretending it's a predator trophy collection 
How tall was the actor who played the predator?yep, that alien+predator set with a predator like this:
i don't know if it was original or bootleg.
still remember those mad green eyes and freak face
i never had the alien from that set in my childhood, my parents didn't give me money for him. but i saw him on shelves - and finally got them both 25 years later or so
as for Neca, the very idea of putting their alien and predator on one shelf is super wrong:
movie alien 1 should be same or lower than movie predator 1, and this pair brings the height mistake to a significantly higher level than even HT did.
Kevin Peter Hall (Predator): 7 ft 2 in (218 cm) (wikipedia)
as i said, actor Hall was higher than actor Badejo. you can google their artificial feet and see that they were similar.
... using the actor's height as the actual size, instead the on screen intended size would mean for example that the actors playing Hobbits are in fact midgets. Aliens are meant to be a lot taller than humansKevin Peter Hall (Predator): 7 ft 2 in (218 cm) (wikipedia)
suit additions: artifitial feet (same as alien), head crown & helmet add a little to actor's head (in P1. in P2 his crown was a lot higher due to another head shape).
Bolaji Badejo: 6' 10" (2,08 m) (imdb)
suit additions: artifitial feet (same as predator), head adds just a little to actor's height (same as in P1):
so even if suit additions are similar in P1, alien is still a little lower.
if compared to P2, alien is a lot lower, but this Neca set uses P1 body.
(i specially take only A1 as an example, because all others didn't have giants playing them, but it was not intentional)
as i said, actor Hall was higher than actor Badejo. you can google their artificial feet and see that they were similar.
so their waists and eyes should be at least on one level. (Bolaji's eyes are somewhere in the middle of alien head, unlike A2 and later, where actors stored their heads in fat necks).
here predator's waist doesn't even reach the beginning of alien's body, and predator's eyes don't even see alien's neck.
so no, Neca scale is so wrong that even ht didn't get it so wrong (unless you take into consideration their midget P1).
to be in scale they should be like this:
using intentions instead of actual screen events would mean that predator was an invisible mind-controlling entity hidden in trees, and alien was a four-legget wingless fly with hooks for arms.

using intentions instead of actual screen events would mean that predator was an invisible mind-controlling entity hidden in trees, and alien was a four-legget wingless fly with hooks for arms.
there were lots of scenes of alien full size in nostromo's surroundings, they were played by actual actor with his actual size, with no computer modifications like hobbits were. those surroundings didn't change their size when humans were in them.
but i guess you just wish to argue, which is not my intention.
as for intentions...

7'2" is KPH's height without any suit.
a man inside predator is already as high than "intended on screen" alien.
so...
wrong:
correct:
Just regular model paint. They have them at all art shops. I even went into micheals and they had the same brand my local shop has....you paint look so good. I'm having trouble finding the right paint over here. I'll go look for them over the weekend, otherwise I might have to buy them from eBay.
