NECA Alien & Predator Exclusive 2-pack

[scarbrs]

I checked my Local (gurnee Il ) today about 12pm and the place was packed but No 2pack.

yeah it seems like the midwest is always the last to get any TRU exclusives. at least we'll get it before the internet stores will.

i have no camera to post pictures, but i got my 2 pack today from an internet order, i'm very disapointed with the paint on the predator and alien, my classic has alot better paint job, so i put trophey skulls and necklace and closed mouth head on my classic's body since their actually both p1 anyway. it may just be mine, but they really cheaped out on the paint on these, no foggy dome on alien, no shine much on the body, no shine on predator, and sloppy paint apps, plus one of the blades tips looked like it was melted on the tip.maybe most of you can handpick yours at a tru store and get better than i did.
they must be useing the same old china factory to do these, cause if it's the new one tankman was talking about we're in trouble on the 19 inch ones, i hope and pray the 1/4 don't get messed up like my 2-pack.

Damn. The paint job on classic was great so I was hoping for the same on P1 closed mouth

Open mouth on P1 body sounds good

you mite find a good painted one, i had no choice or pick,since i got mine off the web
i'm not saying they all have bad paint,i've only seen mine.now the head on my p1 was painted good, it was the body that had dull and sloppy paint and a melted looking blade tip.

These are the old factory. These have been being made for the past few months. They're just starting to appear now.

also, the trophey skulls strings and necklace are very fragile, so handle with care.when you get yours.
some good news ,the predator and alien head skulls ,look great and are great accessories, love them.

tankman said the "new factory" is for the 1:4 preds. the 7" ones are still the same factory. no biggie, i'm getting mine repainted no matter how well the factory thinks their paint app turned out.

I found at least a dozen of these packs last night locally. Paint on these isn't great like previously mentioned. Luckily, with 12 to chose from, I could pick out the best. Even the best still weren't that great. I purchased 2 sets, one to open, one to keep MOC. After taking the figures out, both the trophy skull & necklace came apart without me even touching them. After some messing around, I was able to have them "connect" into place.
If you compare the Predators Classic to this one, there are some definite paint differences in the skin tone and armor. I suppose it's meant for accuracy to the 1987 Predator movie as opposed to Predators.

Glen, where did you order from/

Glen, where did you order from/

amazon.com, and i paid a crazy price. i would suggest to wait and get one at tru, that way maybe you can hand pick and get a good painted one.and one with good blades. tru is 60 miles away for me, that's why i got mine off the internet.

no, toywiz on amazon, man did i get screwed.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Well, I hope you didn't get screwed Glen!

 

[Boba Ben]

I think I will continue the hunt rather than go with the Toys R Us pre-order. I'm confident that I will find them before I'd get them shipped to me.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

TRU doesn't have a cancellation fee do they?

 

[915stag51]

ordered a set......I also got one from a member but I think i overpaid.....

 

[crazypredator2]

Well, I hope you didn't get screwed Glen!

i did on price i paid, then on the bad quailty figures i got.
