The Pose of The Elder Predator ist not so good.
Not so Movie acurate(Dagger in false Hand).

Oh...my...god!

This is part of your argument?

Dude, when you get it...JUST PUT IT IN THE OTHER FOOKING HAND! :duh

And honestly, you have NO idea how much adding this stuff you're asking about would add to the cost of the figure for NECA.

You're just saying "Add it, it don't cost more for NECA".

Are you 12?

You complain about EVERYTHING. If you don't like it, then don't buy the damn figure.

You whine about the cost of the figure over there, but it will increase if they add any of that stuff you want.

Are you going to come on here and whine harder then?

Is that even possible? :rolleyes:
 
Nothing, that's how it goes sometimes. Probably every person at this site can name at least one item they wished someone would make that hasn't and probably won't ever happen, we simply can't get everything we ever want, all we can do is take what is offered to us.
except for the occasional customizer who can just make whatever awesome thing they want.


i hate those guys.
 
the main thing now is not to lose anyone.

Thankfully they seem to be putting effort into that, getting quality sculptors and making effort to have the production pieces live up to certain quality levels.

That's another risk of adding more features and things to their figures, adding more to the figures might mean less leverage over the factory to produce up to the current quality level, and I'd rather less features than see the quality drop, it's quite nice right now, but if the paint jobs and things went down from where they are, I might stop buying. NECA's figures are as good as they cost, more money for what they are wouldn't work, and less quality for the same money wouldn't work either. They've got a good formula right now and I hope they don't screw with it.
 
Yes, but factor too, if the U.S. price goes up, so will the international price, and I'm sure some of those buyers would eventually draw the line at what they're willing to pay for what NECA makes.

You feel they need to, but I think their strategy shows they're reaching successfully to where they want to reach. NECA's products have been about the same for like 5 years now, it works for them, maybe not for some people that buy their stuff, but if they really felt they weren't succeeding how they'd like, then they'd have changed things up.

Sure, if U.S. rates rise, increasing the internatinal prices.
But that would not be so bad now.
You seem to forget one.
I do not want to be at a Hot Toys Neca clone.
They will only realize its potential more and no limit in this way.
They simply have no good management, what one sees at most 12 "Escape Pescadero Arnold (18 endoskeletton"?).
Most of the 18 "figures.
And bessres quality, something ehr features would be there, only there, a rise of 20 "-that is 10-15 dollars more.
People need to learn the concepts then the limit has been remarkable.

Neca makes x versions.
Whether I personally do not understand, but it can.
A somewhat terer 20 "predator would also make sense.
Neca indeed sold busts, statues and replicas.
If they extend their core figure-something that would certainly be good.

They came good in the years with their business strategy, but if this the Same they will be never.
And at some point, the licenses are exhausted, then everyone has an Alien, a Predator.
Sure, there are other things, but they can not make voel.
The greater the longer the choice of characters they have customers.
Neca is wiedersprüchlich in some white ones.
They do not make a lot of interesting characters, but versions of a figure.
People buy these versions, because it do not cost much.
Then people would buy even more new characters and where Versions want. e.g. Billey, or by or through the Predators from Predator 2

No, you misunderstood me.

I wanted to have the Neca some monopoly power.
If the prices are slightly higher and people do not buy it, they have nothing.
Because no other manufacturer makes Neca stuff in this price range.
 
I'm just going to agree to disagree beacuse I really don't understand anything you're saying at this point, and I know you're trying your best, not trying to come down on your English but I just can't figure out what you're getting at in any of that last post.

HAhahahahah! :lol

Anyway, I still think the original McF Aliens and Preds (sans the Warrior Alien....ew) are still amazing. Even the queen. Is she accurate? No. But she's a beauty. I found one for 40 bucks, LONG after she came out, and bought that sucker without ever looking back. I love her.

I still have all the original Preds and stuff...and they all look great to me.

The problem is, NECA did the worst creatures first, so It's hard to judge them. But honestly, that new Classic Predator is amazing, and I cannot wait to have it. Elder too.

I assume what you mean here is that NECA can go higher with prices because they're pretty much alone in their market. They may be about the only one doing it, but it doesn't automatically give them that freedom. Their customer base is only going to be willing to spend so much and at some point, would rather have nothing than buy NECA's product.

I love Hot Toys product line and for a lot of things they're the only source, but at some point, if their prices go beyond what their product seems worth, I won't buy it anymore, I don't care if it means not having something, it's silly to spend more money than something's worth to you just because of lack of options. For example, I love Rambo, there's a nice life size bust of him from an artist I know that I could buy, but for what it costs I don't like it enough, it could be the only life size Rambo bust ever made, but I'm not going to buy it just because of that fact, it's not worth what it costs to me.

Same thing would happen with NECA at some point. Right now, people feel their product is worth what it costs, certain changes to the types of products they offer could cause a shift where what they sell no longer seems worth what it costs customers to get it, and then people stop buying. They sell well right now and we get lots out of them, the current model is working in a broader scope, even if not to your liking.
 
Toys R Us happens to carry them. They're still good solid figures, so why does it matter where they're sold. The company won't change what it stands for, nor will it change who it caters to.
They don't need to win anyone over, because they already have. That's why we're all so pumped for these upcoming Pred figs. If they increased price to add more features (which only some people care about), then they would not have as many customers. They've got the people; the main thing now is not to lose anyone.

Neca will lose anyone.

It plays a role is bought where.
Toys R Us has something against the 18 "figures.
But Seneca does not really care because they can not only angewisehn to Toys R Us are.
there are other places where they sell the matters.
I just wanted out.

Look at reviews of views on Youtube.
To features a lot of people are.

They snd very important.
Apart from these features affect only the major characters.
Who does not need the functions un ne figure nikcht is worth much picks up 7 "figure.
And sowas will and a jewel for the collection view uses the 18 ".

Keep the setting to which they have to and lose worst-case thinking customers are unimaginative .

S all eternity, you shall be doing the same and never get bigger.
It's totally boring.
And there will come another manufacturer who makes more effortlessly, and then the victim of all of their licenses.
 
Thank God, I thought I was the only one who likes using "Fook" :D .

@The Rider: Someone went to business school... Perhaps if you wish to see NECA have a monopoly power, that's something you should take up with management and not the creative department?

In any case, you say "If the prices are slightly higher and people do not buy it, they [NECA] have nothing."
Well, adding those features you want will increase those prices. And not just slightly. So in the end, we agree that adding such things can have an impact.
True, NECA is the only one producing such figures in this price range now, but if they change the price range, their success is lowered.

You are totally uncritical.
We can give you everything and you'll find it great.
A Predator with a Muppet Body - cool, right ?

You should check you watch the film again.
The Elder Predator had a very specific pose and the weapon in a particular hand gant.

That's the interesting thing about a Figure for the film, she is as precise as possible.
Otherwise you could you some G.I. Joe figure buy and Predator write on.
This is a bit exaggerated, but it is so.

Tankman did a super Predator.
I like the Elder Predator very much, but is not done as good as the P1.
There are a lot of small errors that read easily be repaired.


I'm not 12, are you 80 ?

I am critical.
And I want the best for Predator.

In fact, I'm here to something changes.
This Tankman if he reads this. Thinks, oh do it can you want or there are several which this figure-apparently there is an interest.

to take place so irrelevant sayings you should consider what you once everything is up for great opportunities and how much is wasted Potentiel.


What's with the "Yes We Can"-thinking ? :)

My English skill is not good, sorry.

But I think they have correctly understood me.

I somehow think we are talking past each other ^^

For me products are only a specific value for money.
If it is too expensive to me I do not buy-like Hot Toys figures.

But as I said, I am talking about a very low price for more features(not BIG Functions and more Articulation) and better quality.


Do you collect 18" figures ?

Do yourself a 18" Predator figure than worth it ?
Would not buy you about a very good 18" Predaotor because it costs 10 or $ 15 more.
You must also think sure he would be better than other Figures then cost less.
 
You are totally uncritical.

Sabres is far from uncritical, get into any discussion of products based on the Alien. Sabres is a very passionate fan that brings to the table a lot of reference and insight into the accurracies of things.

And Sabres, I mean that as a good thing.
 
I understand your point. So you're asking, why not shell out a bit more money to get a nicer 18" Pred?

Well, I'd be happy to. A lot of us would be. But NECA, being mainstream, wants consistency. Their usual prices and amounts of features for the different sizes must remain consistent.
Their usual 18" lineup may have a sound chip and maybe lights, for $35-$40.
They're not going to change that system.

@Sabres: I'M SO JEALOUS OF YOUR GIGER STATUES! I didn't even know they made those, sniffle, sniffle...
