NECA: Predator Movie Franchise Figures

[wolverenz]

Is neca making a mud covered 18" Dutch or is it only the jungle Dutch that's going to be made.?

They said depends on how well it does in the market. If it does well, we should be getting another version of him, no word of which one tho.

I picked up series 10 today at Frank and Sons. Originally I was just going to get Hive Warrior, but after seeing the other 2 in person I just had to pick them up too.

 

[zerogouki]

Nice! I want those extremely badly....

 

[PwnStar511]

This set is very cool! Really fun figures. I wasn't going to get these initially but after seeing them in person, I was very impressed by the overall look and paint jobs. I also love all the new tooling they put into these guys...it's very refreshing to see from all the same Pred parts we consistently get. These guys actually look like brand new sculpts even though they are still largely reused parts. I think it's the paint that helps achieve that.

I was on the fence and then I was off the fence but seeing these pics I may just jump back on these figures.

Nice pics buddy.

 

[zerogouki]

Awesome shots!

Finally got muddy Dutch the other day.

One of THE best figures I've ever bought - period.

Yup, the detail is astonishing.

 

[a-dev]

The Dutch figures IMO are NECA's very best figures.

 

[Sidious-66]

Yeah Dutch (I only have series 8 so far) from NECA is really the best figures they have released in that scale although Freddy from NOES was also great.

I need to catch up with Predators Series 9 and 10.

 

[greygoose]

I haven't seen a muddy Dutch pic yet outside in the mud. Someone make it happen.

 

[Dr. Odd]

I don't have time to find it now, but someone did a great photo recreation of the muddy Dutch/water emergence scene with the neca figs...

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

The Dutch figures IMO are NECA's very best figures.

What's amazing, is that the Arnold likenesses on these new 7" Dutches are stupidly good - regardless of paint issues here or there.

In this dept, HT would do well to pay attention..

 

[a-dev]

Yeah. And they might learn a thing or two about making a neck that looks human too.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Yeah - I'm starting to lean towards agreeing with you on that now.

Previously, I was fine with it - but especially with the Arnold HT figures, the cut jawline is painfully obvious. Having a one piece head & neck does limit posing options, but it does look a lot better.

I was actually only referring to the excessive bulkiness and lack of surface detail (such as veins) of the neck, the DX10 neck particularly (but the previous bodies weren't much better). Even NECA here have the ball-joint head but they managed to do a far better job of it than Hot Toys did. It doesn't **** with the likeness all that much in the case of Dutch where on the HT DX10 the profile is pretty much ruined IMO, they cut off too much of his distinctive 'power jaw' and created visible gaps.

DX10's neck is a giant cylinder with a headsculpt on top of it. Too many people sculpting the different parts and not really paying much attention to how they come together on the end product. NECA's Dutch manages to look human. There's something not right there, when a low end figure looks more natural than a high-end one.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Yeah, totally.

The necks on the HT T-800s do look like tree trunks. Going by that ancient bit of info, we'll see what HT' next 1/6 Dutch turns out like; whether they learn from their mistakes, or remain complacent in certain areas of their figure design.

For a new Dutch - they really should start from the ground up. Recycling the DX10 head or whatever, would just be wrong & lazy.

Had to cancel this wave. They look GREAT! But only the Hive Wars Pred looks necessary.

 

[Jace Madan]

So which future Predator figure are you guys most looking foward too?

For me it's the updated Wolf. With the newer sculpting, articulation and openening wrist gauntlet I'm sure it will blow the old one out of the water.
