NECA: Predator Movie Franchise Figures

[tankman]

Definitely hope theres more Terminator stuff coming. I'll be buying the hell out of series 3 but there is still yet more potential for other T-1000 figures - biker cop, frozen biker cop, Steel mill T-1000, BD split down the side T-1000 also from Steel mill etc etc. Not to mention (although very much mentioned!) Steel mill Sarah Connor, John Connor and Pescadero escape Sarah connor. The latter is the less obvious version of Sarah Connor but it would compliment the T-800 and current BD T-1000 very well.

Yes this is all true but I for one want T1 more than anything else Terminator at this point.

Sure hope that would include Kyle Reese.

Me too. Perhaps if you guys sold them via your site. Then there would be no problem. Or sell it through Sideshow.

You wont have to worry about the size issues with other stores, nor would you worry about them warming the pegs. The fans (like me) would buy them in a heart beat.

We never really do that. P1 at 18 inches would sell great and to me it's the grail of all 18 inch figures. The Alien is close but I feel I had more time to really nail this one.

 

[MaulFan]

The Alien is too top heavy for an 18" figure without a base, even if the sculpt were 100% perfection, it'd just a tough piece at that size because of weight, Predator should work just fine with the creature's balanced weight distribution.

Both Predators looks great ,
but i found some things which could be done better at the Elder:
1. The Elder Predator wears his sword/knife in the wrong hand. In the movie, it has the blade in the left hand, not in the right one.
2. It also has another small necklacewith a skull in the middle.
3. The mouth is to much open and the mandibles were closer to each other .4. The Elders forehead was a bit blotchy like the one's from the first movie in contrast to the prototype
5. the dreadlocks aren't right, yet. they are too dark and the decorations are missing
6. the eyes should be light yellowish, not red as the prototypes eyes are
7. the gauntlets of the elder are much more like the ones from Predator 2 then those of Predator 1
8. bands and protection at the legs
9. the Elder does not wear shoes

I have no doubt you would hit the ball outta the park. And it could very well sell well. But the stores are a problem. There really isnt many places to sell them.

We,ve done that before you know.

Please do it, this one more time.

 

[CelticPredator]

Jack Sparrow. Yes. I have a nice 18 inch Jack somewheres.

I certainly wouldn't complain if you guys did T1 figures! I didn't mention it because I assume its an altogether more remote possibility what with licensing issues.

As for those T2 figures not yet done, I hate coming across as greedy, its just everything we've seen so far has met my hopes and expectations and I think it'd be a pity if the line were not finished out in a way that no company has ever done before. I don't think I've ever seen someone do the biker cop T-1000 for example and I'm puzzled as to why that is because everyone remembers him in that outfit.The whole helicopter sequence and the liquid nitrogen sequence sealed it in our memories. With that version of him in fact, you could cross off the steel mill version from the 'needed' list as the legs could be interchanged with the normal patrol cop figure. Voila. Non-BD Steel mill T-1000. The leg change was possible with the T-800s through boil & pop even though you didn't specifically engineer the figures with that intention. Obsessives could make multiple purchases to achieve all looks simultaneously. I have had no problem doing so with the T-800s, it seems a fitting thanks to you guys for finally making such great T2 figures.

Yep you're right and the figure you've seen isn't finished. The feet I can live with being P1. You never see the feet anyway and I never really like the feet not having his sandals in P2.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Kyle, can you offer any insight into the referencing and sculpting process on the P1 figure? I have always found the P1's helmet to be its most intriguing and visually fascinating design, and you're the first artist to NAIL its look. i've be en tweeting Randy too thanking you and Sam as well as Jason for your work on this and the T2 line.

 

[gofourindian]

I am really hoping for an 18" P1 version, anything else will be a pass for me....also hoping for interchangable masked and unmasked head swaps.

Well, they've already stated that the heads WILL NOT be interchangable...so you should mark that off your list.

 

[CelticPredator]

Lol....NECA, making you buy more ____!

I'm probably going to just get the masked, and unmasked closed mouth.

Opened is alright, but the two I want are the highlights by far.

 

[The Rider]

Yep you're right and the figure you've seen isn't finished. The feet I can live with being P1. You never see the feet anyway and I never really like the feet not having his sandals in P2.

I just hope that the final figure will be as exact as the P1 and it would be nice if these things would be done better (the feet, too )
it's just supposed to give you a little help ^^

Do you have an idea what fans can do to help that neca makes an 18'' Predator?
For example write on Necaonline that an 18'' version would be very interesting.

 

[The Rider]

That last pic is cool..

Yes, this is a cool pic of the Elder.
I hope the final figure will look like it's on this picture.

 

[gofourindian]

Didn't see that. That's too bad..... I guess it's just the masked version for me, if they make an 18incher.

 

[A.L.I.E.N]

Didn't see that. That's too bad..... I guess it's just the masked version for me, if they make an 18incher.

Im the opposite, I like the unmasked because I pose my HT version with the mask as I think they have nailed it. Not saying anyone is wrong! But everyone has a view on what Pred I's mask looked like
