Help me out here, I am almost certain there was talk from Neca about the pyramid wall pieces like the ones in the attachment that would be for sale at some point. I can't remember if they were pillars or pieces that could be linked together but I thought for sure they would be sold at some point. Does any body else remember that?

Yeah Randy said they are coming...

Yeah me too and with the background to download like they did with the queen dio last year

The Grid vs Celtic 2-pack looks great. I can't tell from the pics, but I'm hoping they give Grid the same silver/black paint scheme as the regular AvP warrior instead of the blue/black scheme from the previous release.

An answer regarding the size of the new Jungle Hunter body -

Yes same size, no reason to change it

Am I the only one who thinks the KPH Predator figures have all been too small? If I stand Dutch beside them and then imagine where KPH's head would be in the suit based on reference pics...he's barely taller than Dutch/Arnie

that is so awesome
watched only 1:22 before going to work, will see the rest in the evening.

 

[a-dev]

Ah, P., the very man. I contend that the NECA Predators are undersized and I think you'd agree. I refer particularly to the Jungle Hunter and City Hunter played by Kevin Peter Hall.




With the figures the top of Dutch's head reaches the brow of the Predator's biomask. In this pic Arnie's head barely reaches the chin of the biomask.

yep said it long ago in alien thread:

* * *

... using the actor's height as the actual size, instead the on screen intended size would mean for example that the actors playing Hobbits are in fact midgets. Aliens are meant to be a lot taller than humans

using intentions instead of actual screen events would mean that predator was an invisible mind-controlling entity hidden in trees, and alien was a four-legget wingless fly with hooks for arms.
there were lots of scenes of alien full size in nostromo's surroundings, they were played by actual actor with his actual size, with no computer modifications like hobbits were. those surroundings didn't change their size when humans were in them.

but i guess you just wish to argue, which is not my intention.

as for intentions...

Source Quotes
1.Ridley Scott: The alien had to be 7ft 2in. We found a man Bolaji Badejo from the Gold Coast who when stripped had a figure like a Giacometti sculpture and was 9in. taller than the height of the door. But where do you find a woman like that? (David Lewin, Daily Mail)

Alien Explorations: Bolaji Badejo from the Gold Coast

7'2" is KPH's height without any suit.
a man inside predator is already as high than "intended on screen" alien.

so...

wrong:

correct:

* * *

if they made their predators at least the same height with aliens, they would be in scale with humans.

Agreed. So as far as Randy's answer about there being no reason to change the size of the Predator body - well - wrong. There's a pretty good reason to change it. It's never been big enough.

 

[jye4ever]

Yeah Neca is definately messing up when it comes to scale.

I mean just look:

[Psycho]

They should of made the new ultimate Press around the same height as the AVPs. I'll have to check height comparison to my T2 Arnie and AVP Predator see how it compares

Agreed. So as far as Randy's answer about there being no reason to change the size of the Predator body - well - wrong. There's a pretty good reason to change it. It's never been big enough. They've made it as though KPH was like 6'4 or 6'5 tops.

there is also a problem of scale between upper and lower halves of the body:

feet and ankles are aligned by level and size here.

Yeah Neca is definately messing up when it comes to scale.

I mean just look:

that's a joke, right?...
