NECA: Predator Movie Franchise Figures

[YankeesFanboy]

Looks cool, will get. Then that'll be it from the NECA Predator front, save for a new Wolf.

These ancient predators had pretty much exactly the same armour as the ''present day'' predators? Ehhhh...

didn't you notice?
even in P2 only an old grumble guy wears armor long out of fashion, but these avp/avpr cosplayers all wear ancient elvish armor with nice girly carvings on its surfaces.

 

[S. Griffin]

They had guns in the scene when they were being overwhelmed by aliens at the top of the pyramid.

Yep. You're right. Just double checked. Still, I hope the packs are removable without too much effort.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

I agree with you, I'd prefer the Ancients to be without packs, if for no other reason than to add variance to my display.

I like the weathering better than series 14. First three reminded me of the old ****** plastic McFarlane used on AVP (for the armor part).

And another troll added to my ignore list

I got my AVP Predators today, and for the most part they are great.

One of my disappointments is that my Celtic came missing one of his wrist blades and also missing his ceremonial dagger sheath.

Another is that I can't understand how Chopper's skulls attach to the back, there's no clip, string, peg, etc.

My last complaint is that Chopper's spear holder is too small for his spear, it won't hold it. The other two predators hold their Spears just fine!

I'll post some photos and maybe a video up soon.

I don't have Chopper yet, but here's a pic of the back with the skulls on sticks attached: https://news.toyark.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2015/12/NECA-AvP-Chopper-Predator-006.jpg

Looks like one goes right next to the backpack, and the other clips on via a holder on the shoulder armor. Doesn't look like he has a place for his spear, so the thing you think is a spear holder but is too small may be that clip for the skull.

Also, from the pics, it looks like the body and legs and arms are totally painted, while the hands on all of them and the unmasked head on Scar are cast in yellow flesh tone plastic with the spots and shading applied. Is this how the figures are?

 

[Elder_Predator2]

That's what I thought next, but my holder was too wide to hold the skull, we'll. The skull falls off if you look at it funny. I'll go that route, it just seems janky that one spear is mashed into the backpack while the other is loosely held in place. Oh well, seems to be the best/only option

(no, I did not jam the spear into the clip)

The hands and face of Scar are flesh toned plastic, while the rest is painted. It's not bad honestly. At first I was afraid it was going to be too noticeable, and look off, I was wrong.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Something else that intrigued me was that Chopper's gauntlet blades are not like Hot Toys or McFarlane, they are not at 9 o'clock on the gauntlet, they are at 7 o'clock. Not a complaint, just a cool observation.

Sorry for the crappie flash photography. I'll be sure to get some real pics up soon, when it's light out.

give us a good youtube review elder.

Got my Preds today must say I have zero complaints. Great paint for an $20 figure. I really hope these guys get the 1/4 treatment someday. I really can't compare these to other Preds cause these are my first.

i have done a few in the past but I'm not that good at reviews and sound dead or tried... So stopped doing them.

 

[KoBE]

they will never be out. ever. mark my words. There will be some kind of excuse

Ok, I think we can now all OFFICIALLY remind Crows that we marked his words back from July 2014. The NECA AvP Predators are already in hand for a lot of folks, so, what say you, Crows?

 

[xipotec]

Just opened my Classic Predator...Holy Crud..this guy is amazing.

I picked him up in Japan and lugged him all the way home..to the States.

I'll do a review on him soon. He needed batteries do when I get them, I"ll post.

He's one huge / heavy monster....
