NECA: Predator Movie Franchise Figures

[prefused]

Giger is 21" and cost 40$.

ok, so... uh... ok, so you're saying NECA should make the queen 21" tall... or make it 21" (1/5) scale? because there's a very big difference in size and price there.

 

[darylox]

Giger is 21" and cost 40$.
Predator is 18" but much more detailed (armor,bones and ,and ,and ) cost 80$.
Alien queen in 21" would be not higher but much wider , but the paint is largely black. And she have any armors, Weapons or something else.
Therefore the price , 100-130$ for Alien Queen in 21"

 

[darylox]

how much should cost an Alien queen in 21" , what do you think?
Tell me

 

[prefused]

ah, ok. you're saying it should be 21in tall. that's like 1/9th scale or so. and that would make it almost 4ft long head to tail tip... dude, that's a huge figure. and it'll need lots of metal reinforcement in the legs and torso to keep from collapsing under its own mass. that means more cost. you might wanna revise your pricing. i'm thinking something that huge and complex is gonna be like $300+.

i say NECA should stick with a 15in one that's to scale with their 6" figures.

 

[darylox]

300$+ omg!
21inch is like 1/9 or so, what are you talking ?
More like 1/4,lol
lots of Metal, dude this is neca.
Compare it to Mcfarlane and not to the real Terminator, lol.

Mcfarlanes 12" version is maybe inaccurate but this plays no role ,you know how high the price was at the beginning ?

and in addition a large base.
You exaggerating massively.

Prices (2003)

- new sponsor, Killer Toys, has an excellent price on the set, only $18.95 plus shipping!

- Aisle Sniper has them in stock and ready to ship for $24.99. That's where I got mine.

- Beans Toys has the good price I've seen at only $22.99 plus shipping. I've bought from them many times, and always gotten great service!


The Alien Queen stands about 13" tall and 22" long and as point's of articuasion.

From NECA on twitter:

"don't know if 8000 people will spend $100 on a Queen. That's a lot to ask"

So I guess NECA was eyeballing $100 per figure

 

[abake]

Wow, that's a lot of queens right there... however, if they could unload 15K of preds, why not?

Without metal, it won't stand. With metal, it'll be incredibly difficult for it to stand.

A life-size Queen would be 14 feet tall, with a head 9 feet long. So a 1/4 would be.. I'm bad at math, but it'd be over 3 feet tall (I think), etc.. That would cost like, what? A thousand dollars?

You can't have a 21 inch tall Queen from NECA.. There are so many smaller things they are scared to death of doing..

Hi guys, first post here!

I really love this figure series. I love the new paint job they gave the classic and the slight gloss to make him look wet. The headsculpt is basically perfect! I customized mine to make him slightly more movie accurate by giving him leather bandages around his elbows and knees. I just used rubber bands, cut them up and used a brown marker to make them look like leather. He looks so much better now and it covers up the joints! Here's some pics:

(Love his side profile!)

I also customized Elder to make him more movie accurate. I removed his wristblades, used skinnier rubber bands to wrap around his gauntlet and found some very fine mesh cloth to wrap around his computer gauntlet like he has in the movie. I also removed the chest and tricep tubing since he doesn't have those either. Now my figures look amazing. (These are my first two NECA figures and I'm glad I started collecting them when I did). This line looks way better than the previous 2. Can't wait for the future series to create my own Lost tribe!!

And here they are watching over my PC

And here's my desk...I just started the hobby of collecting figures and now look...it all started with Hot Toys Berserker Pred...

Aslong as the paint is good count me in.

So silly of us! I'm sure many of us have seen the Quarter Bin's recent visit to NECA. Well, I just took another look and think I've found part of the remaining 60% of that TRU 2-pack:

I wish it came with that tree base but I bet it won't. That base actually makes the color scheme look good. Without it, the dark grey just seems odd since those aren't his real colors. Looks like a statue or something.

the rubber band thing is a cool idea for the Elder. but i don't think he had anything wrapped around his wrist comp in the movie. it looks like it should be up on his elbow above the gauntlet.

behold.

 

[Valfar]

Did anyone post a tutorial at all for fixing the Elders arm joint that breaks on some of these?, still trying to figure out what to do..maybe pull the peg out of the socket with pliers and glue it back on to the forearm.

No, he definitely did. You can't see it in that pic. You can see it in that custom 1/4 neca elder conversion thread. It has nice reference pics.

no it is not. a 21" tall queen is nowhere near 1:4 scale. you're not even in the ballpark there.

again, your concept of scale is baffling.

and the McFarlane figure definitely has metal pins in its legs.

Here's another part of the two pack:
