Well since that post I ordered 2, masked and closed mouth PLUS as I said a few moments ago I ordered your Alien too. Talk about impulse buying. I shouldn't have a credit card
But...you're right, these are going to look incredible in the collection.

And also remember, for those of you undecided or regretting maybe getting one or all 3, would you rather pay $80 now, or $400+ each on ebay after they all sell out?
Look at the rarity and how high the prices are for the 8" Classic Pred, this puppy is gonna require a second mortgage on the secondary market. You can afford to get these guys. Cut down on food, ciggarettes, alcohol, other figures, ect. This Pred is so worth the measly $80 or so bucks they are going for right now. You will regret more not getting him, than you will regret getting him.

There is no chance i'm going to preorder this until I get some more details about the actual product. I'm already put off by the three unnecessary variants when they could have done what HT did!
Can you imagine the outburst if HT started doing the same thing? Since this is an even bigger character at 22 inches there is no excuse!
Yet here, we find not only tolerance but a willingness to throw money at a product they have no idea what will look like.
Me smells some NECA agents fueling the fire here: eh Tankmaster?
Give us some pics and details. Come on.

I use BBTS.com. They take alittle longer than some places, but I've never been burned with them, and have always got what I ordered in the amount I ordered.

csc is $2 cheaper then bbts if your only getting 1, but if your getting all 3, bbts has the best deal, on their 3 deal package, about $67 each

Dude, seriously...quit your whining.
NECA has ALWAYS stated that they don't do swappable heads.
Are you slow, or do you just not understand English that well?
This ISN'T Hot Toys...it's not the same scale as Hot Toys...and it's CHEAPER than Hot Toys.
If you don't like it...don't buy it and go buy yourself a Hot Toys Predator.
Either way...enough of the crying.

Hooray! What awesome news to come home too. This is bought several times over. Space here only allows me to get one So I went with their open mouthed version, as I have several well done representations of the mask already and their unmasked head sculpt is nigh perfection.

Actually there is. It's bigger and it's less than half the price of the HT piece.

The point is we have seen plenty of photos of the original sculpts that were displayed in various toy-shows and we have the 8" figures in hand, so we can judge quite easily that this is the most accurate sculpt of the P1 predator ever made, and that the detailing and sculpting is top-notch.
We also know that the basic articulation will be exactly the same as the 8" figure.
We also have an official statement from a NECA rep (the sculptor no less) that says NECA are using a different, better factory to handle the paint apps, and the it is being advertised (and this has been confirmed by the sculptor as well) that the netting will be real, not sculpted.
Do we know whether the paint apps will be as good as HT's?
No, but we know they will be better than the paint apps on the 8" figure.
For some of us, that is enough to happily pre-order this figure, for other, like you, it isn't. So wait until you have in hand pics to make your decision...

Thanks for the clarification. It helps.
I already have the 8 inch classic and I must say I was extremely impressed.
If it is as good as they say then with the facial accessories I think they could have pwned the market and even possibly make HT lovers jump ship. That's why i bring it up.

If you're considering it but are still concerned about the quality you might preorder it 'just in case' at someplace like BBTS where cancelling is no problem. We will have seen in-hand pics by the time BBTS gets their stock and you can cancel if you're not satisfied with how it turned out. Its just that this seems to have a lot of hype about it, around here at least, and it may sell out quickly.
Well, this is gonna be awesome! So glad we're getting non-sculpted netting. But hey, a little message to NECA. If you guys don't have to worry about the netting in the painting phase, I expect something fairly close to the prototype. Just saying, it's larger scale and the little things won't get in the way. No reason for this figure not to rock. Don't want to see armor pieces that are each different colors, that's another thing. Makes the 7" version look cheaply-painted. Time to give Tankman's awesome sculpt the honor and glorious paint apps it deserves. After all, won't this be the most expensive 18" scale figure they've done so far?
I'll wait to PO until I see some actual pics. Not necessarily when it's out, but just a few Twitter teasers and such of the real deal prior to Q2 2011. While $80 is a total steal for this, I'd like to know that it looks like an $80 figure beforehand. Now which version to get... I'm feeling the roaring headsculpt so far. But masked would look nice, too.
Hey, here's hoping they part these heads off on feeBay

I think they could also make some good paper on just selling the heads straight from their website - at $20 per extra head, they could make a good profit, and collectors wouldn't need to get all three to have each rendition of the predator.
now I'm actually considering getting just the unmasked roaring - this is the most accurate predator face ever, why cover it with a mask that isn't that hard to sculpt wrong...
You mean for Predators? Because they most certainly do swappable heads.
