NECA: Predator Movie Franchise Figures

[guyver1]

Finally hit my TRU this weekend, but not so lucky for pickings. Zero 'jungles', 2 preds, and only 1 'extraction' (with Crap paint. Literally the brown paint on the camo pants looks like lumpy smeared poo). Sadly I left empty handed.

I wanted the Jungle most and couldn't bring myself to get the smeared pants extraction. The pred looked great, but just not different enough from what I have to justify the purchase. At least not yet...

Just keep checking they are obviously showing up at TRU now, nobody should waste going online and paying more for the set plus shipping at this point Unless you get a good deal.

I saw them over the weekend and another TRU, but the paint work wasn't the best on either of them but they did have them.

You just have to time it finding it at TRU. But I thought it was going to be difficult, but it looks like they won't be hard to find after all.

The challenge will be getting a good set with no paint problems, but for that to happen you have to beat other collectors.

Idk,i checked a couple other TRU's than where i found mine and they were completely wiped out,and they had pegs for them so i'm pretty sure they had them.I guess it varies from region to region but i usually see at least 1 or 2 leftover from each wave,but i guess people were eager to get their Arnies around here,lol.

If they sold out, that's not a surprise, they will get more, especially if you saw the pegs for them. At first I wasn't sure if Series 8 was ever going to show up because I saw nothing at TRU for months, but now I've seen them at a couple of TRU's that again I think people need to just keep checking and eventually they will get them.

I don't know about out of the States though, might take them longer.

But they will still be a hot item to collect, What I hated is that one TRU had them for $15.99 each ( Where I got my second set) and another had them for $17.49? So I do believe it depends on the region you are in.

what about Entertainment Earth? are they as slow?

I hope not! I've got the NECA 1/4 scale Iron Man, Keaton Batman and Man of Steel figures and the Predator Trophy wall all on pre-order with them. Haha.

I always go with Amok but their prices on all of the above were kinda BS. Still, have Predator S9 and Aliens S1 on PO there.

I managed to take some shots of the Jungle Patrol Dutch. The figure rocks, so I hope everyone get's a chance to pick him up!

So, here's the photo and remember click the photo for a link to more!

^^nice pic/pose!

got them late last week at my local rus in Madison WI. called and had them set aside a set for me, glad i did, 3hrs later when i went in all gone on the shelves.

big diff in the the way the paint look on s8 JH compared to the JH from the BD 2 pack. s8 JH is much darker all over, more grey/white than the cream/yella. guess its due to the use of clear plastic vs non on the BD version. but the loin cloth is also darker, just overall diff colors.

great fig tho, happy with it. havent opened either Dutch yet but will do asap.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

These Dutch figures are truly incredible. I need to get off my *** and hunt them down.

I picked up the jungle patrol dutch a while ago at FYE, seems a lot of folks were waiting for the TRU to get them.


im still on the fence with the jungle extraction dutch. when I think of predator I always think of Arnold without his shirt, or just the tank tops/vests. the first appearance of dutch with the shirt on was before all the predator stuff started happening when hes just in Commando mode with the mercs. so ive been questioning whether I really need him that bad. the next 2 in the wave seem like musts, Arnold with the black vest from the movie poster, and it looks like the vest might even be removable making him the first shirtless Arnold figure, and of COURSE the mud disguise dutch is a musthave no question. but jungle extraction...still deciding if I really need that one.

My Toys R Us received the 25th Anniversary figures yesterday. I put them out on the shelf this morning, and half of them were gone by the afternoon. Anyway, if my crappy store has the figures, then they're definitely out there.

Don't think, just get the JE Dutch, when you take it out of the package it gives you a whole new meaning of word detailed Dutch. I hated the cigar at first, but it really gives the figure more character when you look at it up close with the naked eye. Besides if they are being priced at TRUs at $15.99 each, that is a hell of a deal.

In short this line of Dutch's are designed remarkably and everyone should get each and every version of him because Neca really didn't plan to expand this line in anyway.

I believe Series 9 and that's it for Dutch anyway as well as the humans for the predator line.

Now I'm sure this might change if the line becomes popular with the fans, but for now, I don't see this series expanding and after series 9, Neca was only focused on this set and Series 9 because of the 25th Anniversary.

I'm still hoping for the 1/4 versions of Dutch that I saw online earlier in the year, but what I hear, Neca might drop the idea. I don't see why what collector wouldn't want a 18'' muddy Dutch to go with the awesome 18' Hunter Predator that already released.

the Predator itself you can pass on, unless you are a die hard fan of the hunter Pred like I am, but if you've had the numerous versions of the hunter pred that Neca made within the past year or so, it's not a big deal if you skip out on the Series 8 Pred.

I assume you work there then. Are you still allowed to sell someone a case if they ask for it. Just curious.

Nice Collection set up there
Like I stated if anybody that has any of these classic preds you don't need to get the S8 Predator unless you want a little more leg articulation

 

[Lord Freezer]

Thanks!

Where's your Elder?!?

 

[Batfreak]

the one thing I noticed about the jungle patrol dutch is that his vest I think is the wrong color. this is probably just being nitpicky but in the movie the vest is black, although at times it may look like it blends well with the green, im pretty sure its black. it would have to be because later dutch removes the camo tank top underneath and only wears the vest part which is clearly black and it looks like it will be black on the upcoming dutch figure in the next wave. for some reason they made it a darker green for the JP dutch.

also im not sure if the next 2 dutch figures will have a all new sculpt or the same exact one as the 2 we've seen. from the proto pics of the black vest dutch, it seems like a new sculpt but I cant tell.

Where's your Elder?!?

And Red Predator and Clear Jungle Hunter

I guess you don't have every one.
