NECA: Predator Movie Franchise Figures

[a-dev]

Looking at the film again tonight as we've been discussing all these various things - one is required to suspend disbelief a bit as to the Predator's capabilities. I mean how the hell does he get from killing Dillon, to killing Billy and then suddenly appearing in that tree to kill Poncho all within such a short space of time. He's such a big ****er, he doesn't look like he has the kind of body that would enable him to jump from tree to tree - and I certainly doubt he could do it without making a heck of a lot of noise. They'd hear him coming easily. It didn't even look like they were any trees along that 'path' that could support his weight. So it's like he would have moved through the undergrowth on the ground and then quickly climbed up into the tree just to be sneaky.

I'm watching it again as soon as I get my loot from BBTS so I can watch it while I hold my doll.

So not too sure about the time window, but he was a fast ****, see him run towards Dillon. I always assumed he dispatched Billy while on the move without stopping, but that's my head canon.

But Predator was pissed off at Mac for injuring him so why would he just put a 22 caliber size hole in his forhead.

He would blow his head off!

Oh so you were Pred psychologist for 20 years too? You're tearing me apart Jye!

Here, for convenience:



from 1:17

home. watched it. so yes, you were right from the very first your question "is someone irritated" and i was wrong. a rude montage mistake. *raising a hat with respect.jpg*
though it's not correct to say that he didn't shoot upwards, but that was not the point of later discussion, the mistake was.

on a bright side, i had a chance to see that "arm shooting without Dillon" close and in frame-by-frame mode. the finger doesn't shoot. it isn't even on a trigger and jumps above it. the gun looks jammed in shooting position. can any weapons expert say if it's possible? i guess it's not (jamming stops repeated movement, not continues it), but what do i know.

Almost everything I have on preorder is scheduled to come out this month. My wallet is going to get pulverised.

Alien Queen reissue, T2 Cinemachines, 1:4 T-800, Predator 30th anniversary figures, 1:4 Leonardo...I bet that 1:6 T2 John Connor will finally arrive into stock at Timewalkertoys aswell.

Something is gonna have to give, at least temporarily.

Probably an artifact of the script from when the creature was supposed to be played by Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Been working on my custom 1/4 P1 since i got this guy back in 2011 and he's still not done yet..
Absolutely love him, he's my favourite figure to date...trying to make it the holy grail of my P1 collection. Making the paint job very movie accurate and to match the movie suits detail. Studied it all and even had help from Steve Wang and Shannon Shea on him!!

@NECA_TOYS Any plans one day for Predator action figures of other cast than Arnie? Billy, Blaine etc.

or it could be a classic case of misdirection

Replying to @NECA_TOYS
the bottle of coke says otherwise Randy...

 

[a-dev]

What he calls misdirection I call a lie but as long as it does in fact yield something we want I won't complain.

Ha - took me a sec (it's been a long day) - but I got it

Yet we still don't have Harrigan, Randy says he won't sell that great. I've seen tons of requests for him from the neca pred fans over the years.

He could also be lying about that. Maybe he has every intention of making Harrigan. We won't know for sure until he either happens or they stop making Predator figures altogether and there has been no Harrigan release.
