NECA: Predator Movie Franchise Figures

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Uh huh. You hate everything. You're intellectual and above everyone else. We get it.

I'm frustrated that the lame cloaked Predator will pegwarm, while the real Predator will never be found.

Also, I find that Dutch is a total peg warmer. Both of them. I checked 4 stores, miles apart, and they only had the two Dutch's. Not a single Predator in sight.

Still waiting on the first wave of Dutch to hit my local shop but these new ones look fantastic too. I'm sure I will pick one up at least but damn I couldn't tell you which.

Will definitely grab a Dillon too. Has to happen.

^Yep. Patrol is the Original Theatrical Movie Poster Dutch, and the Encounter is the DVD cover Dutch.

Patrol IS the iconic look, IMO.

BUT.....The Encounter version is the look that Contra ripped off...

both of those contra soldiers are drawn from Dutch.

not my discovery though.

I checked a bunch of stores here and i couldn't find it either

sorry to hear. Many people around me are waiting for the series 9 dutch. Im pretty sure those are more wanted than the ones we have now in series 8. Especially the mud covered dutch.

It sucks that one person probably snagged all the predators for resell, Im happy I was able to snag one. But my tru told me that a guy comes every day at 10am to grab figures. I told them they should limit him but I guess they didn't listen.

It's amazing how many copies of things there are out there..

 

[Platty]

Received my full series 8 today, what great figures they are! They have captured Dutch perfectly! This was my first predator at any scale, it definitely helps break up all the Dutch action!

My only slight nitpick is dutch's vests being different colours, I'd rather they all be the same colour being honest. But it's only minor.

I'm so impressed!

 

[Johnny Utah]

Yeah I got my set a few weeks ago. Really impressive Schwarzenegger sculpts. Love the stogie, love the scowl.

 

[Jace Madan]

I gotta say, even though the Jungle Patrol Dutch is amazing, I think I like the series 9 Jungle encounter dutch even better. The naked torso, black vest and new facial expression are great. He looks like he's about to say, "What the hell are you..."

And yet again the quality control is great. Out of the 9 or so Dutch's I looked at, it took forever to find one that I wanted because they were all painted so well!

I can't wait to see what the last 2 Dutch figures NECA will make are...

 

[The Rider]

These are dream-come-true figures. Cannot wait to get them. Probably 2 months off with BBTS though.

Muddy Dutch looks amazing - they both do but I want to mention the hair on muddy dutch. I love the way they actually bothered to resculpt it flattened on the sides and more choppy on top instead of just reusing the same clean haired sculpts. Also the leaves etc all over the body. Just Wow.

My only criticism might be that the jaw is perhaps a little too square.

What you mean with choppy ?

Yeah I agree on the jaw. This looks not like Arnie, its a problem for the likeness. A v-shape jaw was better.


Im surprised about the paintjob, it looks amazing, especially the glossy, realistic eyes. Very sad that they dont make this eyes on the other Dutch figures, the Terminator line, the Predators or the Marines.

Its bad that the not mud version have a so glossy dark head, compare to the body.

 

[The Rider]

Interesting exchange on twitter a while ago between Mr. Weathers and Randy:

Who have the likeness rights ?

Neca says Fox have not the rights. Wheathers say he have not the rights on Dillon .

@Evil_Ash, I think the torso are not painted, that are the transculent plastic without the glossy finish the use for the head.

 

[a-dev]

What you mean with choppy ?

Clumped-together in places with the mud.

I may just pre-order some my stuff next round. 3 weeks ago I saw the Extraction Dutch and new P1 at my Toys R Us and thought "good, they are here now." I waited because I wanted the patrol Dutch most so I figured they would be a regular item since they finally showed...

NOPE! No new figures for 3 weeks! Finally I asked a guy working there and he said "yeah, one guy actually bought all 5 cases we got. Now our distribution warehouse is sold out so we wont have any more for at least another month".

They are there to sell (I know TRU employees could probably care less if anyone buys anything, let alone seperating 1-guy-buying-30 vs. 30-guys-buying-1) and guys who's "business" it is to patrol Toy stores gotta do what they gotta do rolleyes2. But that is pretty frustrating. Whatever I guess....so I wait.

Looks like international release posters...which don't count.

When you see predator figures... you buy predator figures. Cause if you don't this will happen again.

Mine too can't wait! My Freddy furnace is also en route from Amok.

Oh it did?? Hmm, maybe Paul will have them listed as in stock tomorrow then! I check his site every day to see what comes in but I still don't see that series listed as in stock yet.

Tomorrow could be an exciting day if he has them as I can go and pick out the best ones! (I should also be receiving SH Figuarts SS Vegeta tomorrow so that's also exciting haha.)

I just noticed the Freddy furnace is sold out at Amok. I was stupid to not pre-order it as I thought I could pick it up in store. Oh well. Luckily I ordered the Trophy Wall.
