NECA: Predator Movie Franchise Figures

[Snake Plissken]

I ordered that multi pack the other day... eh I might get into the line, but only the 87 stuff.

Would really appreciate Dutch's rescue team...

I think I saw they were re-releasing Apollo from the Rocky line?
It shouldn't be too hard to make a custom Dillon from that, I've seen a few online. I'm not sure where you would source his hat from though, or how you would make one.

It is disappointing that we still can't get more members of the rescue team. That being said, I'm glad they are doing this wave of reissues.

Dutch was my first ever Neca figure, and still is one of my favorites. I'm happy for the people that missed out on him the first time. The only Dutch from this wave that I don't have is jungle encounter (the shirtless one with black vest). As for the jungle hunters, I'll probably pass on them since I'm probably going to pick up the ultimate version. The demon one is cool, but I don't need it.

I'm curious to see how these reissued versions of Dutch will compare with the originals. I know that they are meant to be the same and there are no intentional changes, but I would be shocked if there's no change in the paint apps or the plastics.

Couldn't deal with that head-size inconsistency.

You mean on Blain?

Yeah. And Dillon's head looks massive.

Ordered my Ultimate City Hunter. Decided to take the risk I am looking forward to it but at the same time scared incase anything comes in broken.

You'll love the figure, just be real careful about the computer flap and not to grab that area when swapping out parts or posing. It's a fine looking piece and I really like it just not how they engineered that flap - lol.

Will do I'll post pics and thoughts about it when he arrives. Don't think I'll make a review I haven't been a review mood lately.

I think the Dillon head is the one that came with the Apollo torso - so that would be down to the original figure. Looks OK to me. The Blain head is small, but I still wouldn't mind a copy of these myself. Billy isn't a good likeness though - but he did his best.

Since NECA can't get rights for the likenesses, they should release the team with generic faces but everything else movie-accurate. Then someone else (like Art Figures) could release the heads on their own.

But I'm dreaming

(* I'd sure as heck appreciate it if someone did this with all the P2 supporting cast as well! *)

Yeah - since the Canadian TRU don't stock these (online OR in stores) I had little choice but to risk it too.

I wasn't sure if my TRU would get them in. Lately they have been getting in a lot more Neca products lately but just don't feel like going to the store to find one so just ordered online instead.

Just got my 3 city hunters, havent opened any yet but they seem to have their wrist computers intact from what I can tell.

 

[GasparZizou]

Opened my 3 Preds, needless to say I was extremely careful, not a single broken wrist computer yaaay

Whats that Predator number 2 baby? Your shoulder hurt?

Literally barely touched it, I should count myself lucky though, I was expecting these to fall apart after opening them, I have only broken 2 figures in my life, first one when I first started collecting, it was the 1st Jungle Hunter, and this one.

I will contact BBTS, hopefully I will get a spare shoulder canon, that is all I want, no credit, no refund and no replacement, just an extra piece.

Spoiler

Having told the horror story, holy crap these figures are gorgeous, big leap from previous version, if the quality of the plastic wasnt so dubiousd they could charge more for these, I cannot wait for the Jungle Hunter.

Btw I dont know why the lower abs paint looks weird in pics, mine look fine in person.

It seems like something is bound to break on this figure when I get it next week. I just hope it's not an arm or a leg

Be veeeery careful, warm the figure good before breaking the paint, watch for the rubber strings that hold the loin cloth and the waist pouch, they feel like old rubber bands.

Im thinking about breaking all the rubber strings and replace them with actual strings.

But seriously I could almost overlook the broken canon given how pretty these figures are.

 

[ApeManRyan]

Damn see got to be careful praying for a miracle with mine. Crossing my fingers and will be super careful. Looks awesome though for sure even with the issues.

The figure itself feels sturdy, no more weak elbows because the double jointed elbows are great.

Its all the little moving parts you have to be careful with.

Funny thing is I just got my City Hunter today, then went to this thread and saw the issues with things breaking, so haven't even taken him out of the pack yet
