I think it's just ugly joints if you see everywhere.

Most beautifull are the figures without joints.

That's called a "statue".

And that is why you fail.

 

[CelticPredator]

Yeah. The articulation is the best part. So much fun posing.

Ists not a fail, ists a ästhethic Point.

Many neca Figures have no visible Joints, there looks a way better.
E.g. Army of darkness Ash ore the Conans.

This are figures the looks statue-ish.

This looks better than ugly Joints like the T-1000 elbows.

Hot toys have very good Articulation on the news Predators.
There Joints not so visible, but the Articulation is very good.

 

[Rotfish]

I like how the toyish joints he's referring to on the NECA figures are the same ones he praises on the HT figures.

 

[The Rider]

Yeah. The articulation is the best part. So much fun posing.

The best Part is the Sculpt

Posing is cool, but what is good if it looks bad?

Compare the Hot Toys P1 Predator and the classic.

Ore the Neca City Hunter an the Mcfarlane city Hunter.

The Waist Articulation looks horrible.

@Blade3327Read my post more closely.


I commend the joints of the new Predators.

Joints I never find nice-but they do not interfere so much.

Compared with the joints of the old predator, or some people.

The only problem I have with the joints on the T-1000 is that they all ___king broke into pieces. If not for that they would have been excellent, I don't see any aesthetic problem worth complaining about.

@The Rider:

Exactly, you said the joints on the new HT Predators are not as visible as the old ones, yet the articulation is still very good. So you commend them for that.

Now take a look at the NECA Predators and what do you see? Ball-jointed hips, ball-pin-jointed elbows, and ball-pin-jointed knees on the older waves. Cut-jointed waists, but no ab-crunch joints. Those are exactly the types of joints that you praise on HT's latest figures.

I wouldn't chalk joint visibility up to just the presence of the joints themselves, but also to how fluid the sculpt and paint apps look. Sadly, NECA's paint apps don't measure up. Trust me, even if these things were plastic statues and had no articulation whatsoever, they'd look just as toyish.

 

[Mroiman]

I'd delete that if I were you. If what I said is a no no, so is that. "wille" is also incorrect.

oh yeah, it's "will" no "e" lol

also, will delete it

 

[The Rider]

But the Joints at Hot Toys still a little different.
They are much finer and flies adapt better to the body.

Moreover, all the joints in the body color.

On Neca Figures the Joints have different colurs than the Body.
e.g. City Hunter
The hip joints are black.
At the elbow joint is a brown or black line.

It just looks bad.

Next, the reason for my post was, which I will not get a 1 / 4 City Hunter one joint at the chest/Waist.

I think this would be very bad.

The existing joints are enough.

 

[CelticPredator]

The McF wasn't even all that posable. It had more then any Predator figure did at that time...but NECA totally made the thing actually posable. Gave it real articulation.

 

[CelticPredator]

And no, the figure actually painted the joints to match the rest of the skin. It even has the netting sculpted into it.

Are any of you passing on these Neca Predators for bigger and better things like Hot Toys!! I have been a 7 inch collector for so long and I am seriously considering passing on these figures. Very tough to stop after 16 years!!!

don't see anything wrong with getting both. hell, HT might not even make all the lost preds.

I found this sentence very funny.

I think the new articulation/joints look wonderful..the proportions are just so damn great, the joints don't seem to take anything away from the figure..only adding the badass extra articulation.

The only thing I would be worried about is if they used this on the 19 incher..how long would it be before every part of his body fell off?

The two pack is now here in the states!
