NECA: Predator Movie Franchise Figures

[joossa]

Here are some shots of the Clan Leader. Definitely in my top 3 figures of 2016.

Saw the new 1/4 City Hunter in person yesterday. The mask looks like they just slightly smoothed some of the texture, and painted it a different colour. Still the same misshapen, inaccurate mess.

Mine arrived today. Overall it's nicely built but they still didn't capture the mask correctly somehow..

 

[P.]

so they give a properly big body to Kenner stuff... while the originals are midgets even in remakes?

Kevin Peter Hall is of course renowned as the shortest man to ever play the role....oh wait...

Not to mention their ridiculous choice of making parts of the right side of the mask a button. Resulting in cutlines and a slightly different colored patch. And of course, slighly weaker paint apps all across, as well as using a different plastic for the body that's less alive looking. All in all, half a step forward, three steps back.

Didn't know that about part of the mask being a button! Sounds awful. Wow, an even easier pass than I thought.

...still whining about the size? xD

I had the LED P1 Predator and the bottom was pretty seamless

That's what I meant damn auto correct. The button was pretty seamless.

I'm buying loads of them. Far as I'm concerned I'm paying for my right to whine if there is something to whine about.

It was perfectly done for P1, seeing as it has a protruding part that naturally has seams. The P2 mask doesn't have a section like that, so they decided to make the whole indented part of the mask's right side into a seamful button. Quite possibly the worst mechanical design decision I've encountered since I started collecting.

The mask is a sacred thing when it comes to predators. One does not simply mess with it. Let alone to merely incorporate a gimmick.

1/4 Masked City Hunter v2 (LED)



1/4 Masked City Hunter v1

 

[Badvermin]

WTF NECA

Make the eyes the button.

 

[Alice]

I was wondering why it looked like a separate piece when I saw it. I didn't remember the v1 having a seam there, and I wouldn't have thought they would make that the button. What a weird design choice.

 

[a-dev]

It actually doesn't look as bad as I had envisioned when it was described.

 

[Bezzerkerr]

by the looks of the box, this appears to be a part of the 19-20" 1/4 scale line of Predators.

Does anyone have more information about this?

 

[Bo Shrek]

Just thought I post pictures of my V1 CH.....

I wish the entire figure was translucent
