NECA: Predator Movie Franchise Figures

No, the right Hand is closed.
This is the big Problem.

The elder has P2 hands which I did 3 weeks ago. He now holds the sword in his left hand.

[The Rider]

Yes.
Tankman,you are the Champ !

What is with the rest (Dreads and necklace)?

 

[Johnny Utah]

Hey Kyle - I just picked up Perseus today. Randy said you did the head. Any insight? It's a dead ringer for Sam Worthington.

Thank's Kyle...now maybe he'll stop with the constant "suggestions".

 

[The Rider]

The suggestions were adopted by the Sculptingmaster Tankman.
That counts.
Everything else is irrelevant.^^

 

[MaulFan]

Tankman appreciates accurracy as much as any of us, he's of course going to do as much as he can to benefit the figures, but there will be points his hands are tied becuse no matter how wrong he knows it to be, NECA won't approve. Kyle's just a sculptor, it's not his say what the big bosses worried about the bottomo line are going to do, and that's the problem, decisions we feel important regarding the figures are likely decided by people more focused on the bottom line.

There's multiple purposes to a hand that can hold the knife, for Elder it can hold the knife, for P2 it can hold the staff. I'm sure NECA wouldn't approve a special hand only useful for the Elder, but if they can recycle parts, as Tankman has enlightened us they'll be doing with the Elder, then we'll get it.

 

[crazypredator2]

great news !
you will always be the predator king tankman, God bless you and yours.

 

[The Rider]

That is how and why matter.
We get the right hands, this is important.
The new Hands will also use for the P2.
Now I still hope for the rest, one can also be used for any other things.
I will not break me well over the head, I'm not a manager and that's not my problem^^

 

[MaulFan]

Yes, but what I, and other in here, have been trying to explain to you is, NECA will be as accurrate as possible within their budget plans, if there's a way to be accurrate for the ammount they are willing to spend on a figure, they will do it, but they're not a company that's going to take on added costs. Kyle didn't go out and make a new hand for the Elder to hold the knife, there's a way to multi-purpose the hands he's doing for the P2 figure.

As you have stated, Kyle's on top of the details of these creatures, the features you hope to have in these figures, I'm quite sure he's hoping for and doing his best to get happen but if they can't, there's only so much he can do. Notice how most suggestions people have posted, he says he'd like to do or is trying for, he knows.

 

[The Rider]

Now I realize that one can not spend too much.
I have never claimed that you're wrong completely.
Neca is a company and they have to invest to make money.
Not too little and not too much.


But certain things I would like or to which I hope I think is possible within this budgets.

 

[MaulFan]

And what I'm saying is, within budget, I'm sure Tankman and crew are already doing everything they can, that there's not much sense to asking for some things because Kyle knows enough the relevance of them to the characters and the figures not having them would be because he couldn't get approval to add it, not because it need be pointed out by us here on the forum.

 

[The Rider]

But you have doubts with the Predator hands.
You thought the hands unimportant.
It works nevertheless.

Yes, Tankman knows a lot.
But tips can not hurt.
And if some of us do, he also sees that these things are sought not only from him but also by other fans.
So there is also an indication of future plans for Stuff.

 

[Sabres21768]

You know MaulFan...you can only explain things to some people for so long until you need to realize they're NOT getting the picture.

Time to ignore the troll.

 

[MaulFan]

I try, just to keep things civil in the thread, but, since there is no change happening, I would ask people to just lay off coming down on Rider, if you have counterpoints to his posts fine, but let's not be calling him a whiner or things please.

How many times do we need to counterpoint his posts?

We do that and he just CONTINUES to post the same things OVER AND OVER again.

It's truly ridiculous.

 

[MaulFan]

All I'm saying is, if you're going to address his posts at all, make it valid, impersonal discussion. If he says I want NECA to do this and that, if people feel compelled to say something in response like, I'm happy enough we're getting these at all. I don't want to see anymore personal comments about whining or whatever, that's not the point of the thread, the figures are.

 

[Sabres21768]

I think I shall use the "ignore" feature for the first time ever since I've been on the internet.

And that's saying alot.

 

[MaulFan]

Par for the course with any collectibles, everyone has different expectations and wants and innevitably it's like oil and water when the two come together on a piece, pretty much the norm around here, one side loves it and wants it left alone, the other would like it utterly overhauled and it turns into pissing matches about who's more right. There was a time when real discussions went on about stuff where both sides were open to what the others thought, even if the didn't agree, but there's a lot of defensiveness and stubbornness to "discussions" now where people talk about figures and other collectibles as though they're some extension of themselves and any comments toward them that they disagree with become like personal insult and defended immediately. I'm just trying to promote the ways of old.

 

[Sabres21768]

I hope you understand, I'm all for an "open" discussion.

I just cannot tolerate a continuous rehash of the same "wants" even after issues have been discussed, and reasons for or against have been given, by the makers themselves.
