NECA: Predator Movie Franchise Figures

Can't wait to see all the SDCC goodness this July.

Are they really branding the '87 Predator as Classic!

The confusion is becoming a royal cluster____.

 

[greygoose]

Yes, exactly.

I can already imagine the hordes of newbs... because most newbs go for the NECA pieces, and if they brand it as Classic, we're all screwed.

Hey, 'Original Predator' has a perfectly fine ring to it. So what if they called the Giger Alien 'Classic'?

I cant wait to hit the NECA booth, im going to be taking loads of photos.

Something needs to be done to preserve P1's legacy.

Start calling the regular pred from Predators, another name.

Classic is his official name from the film though.

Totem pred? haha i dont know

 

[greygoose]

Totem pred? haha i dont know

I'm positive the end credits for Predator say Kevin Peter Hall as 'The Predator' and the Predators end credits say Derek Mears as 'Classic Predator'.

 

[greygoose]

What Predator is this on the back right?

 

[a-dev]

Looks like Elder to me.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Elder is jus chillin back there

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

What is he doing to Scarface?

 

[greygoose]

^
Right, thanks.

 

[Reefer Shark]

Dig that Eddie!

It looks like they used the 1/4 scale Predator for the card art because the one on the card has the tube coming from the bio, which only the 1/4 scale Predator has. I don't even think that the prototype for the 7 inch figure has the tubes.

 

[Rotfish]

Wait, the 1/4 also comes with tubing? Gah, now I'm even more pumped than before!

And I'm really eager to see how this new factory handles the 7" line. I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record here, but think about it for a second. We're talking about the first accurately-sculpted P2 in that scale, we're talking about the first P2 Elder in that scale PERIOD. If NECA knocks these out of the park, we're in for a treat.

Lastly, let's not forget about encouraging them to put these out in 1/4 as well. Epic sculpts, epic scales, and ball-jointed hips and double-jointed knees on the P2? Let me tell you, those 3 giant badasses will probably make the coolest shelf in my collection, if they're ever made.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Man, I am ready for series 3. I have two sets on order for them, you know me.

And yes, from what I heard on twitter the quarter scale comes with tubing.
