NECA: Predator Movie Franchise Figures

[Heavy Metal Spike]

Nobody getting Machiko, don’t blame them . . .

Both are sold out on BBTS - have been for a LONG time.

I just added silver on green armor.

Nicely done

Wow, the silver makes a big difference! You just dry brushed it on?

My set, really love these figures. The only nit pick I could have would be that Machiko’s mask goes on at too much of a downward angle. You can kinda fudge it more straight though for leaving on display.

Shows the size difference really well.

That bright blue plasma canon is the only thing that bugs me - they changed that from the prototype for some dumb reason. I never was going to display her with the mask so that's not an issue for me.

Thanks for the pic!

Right on man! Agree on the plasma caster color, but I give it a pass since it’s techically comic based. Id like to see them
pump out an alien from the series to go with these guys as well!

With all the main movie preds pretty much done, these are the kind of releases I wanna see in the line (along with the rest of Dutch’s crew, which I know we’ll never get lol).

Gotta say, in todays action figure market. These feel like a steal at 23.99.

Don't remember it being a different colour to the armour though?

Still - nothing a quick paint-wash won't fix

Honestly I dont remember them ever showing her with a plasma caster in the original comics. NECA took some creative licence there along with the torso armor and probably a few other things. The garish colors are ok with me in general just because thats how the coloring was in those comics. But I do agree it would be better if it matched the armor instead of her rifle!

 

[Heavy Metal Spike]

After a quick dig, it turns out that she didn't have it (or the armour of course) in the original story, but DID in "AVP War".

Colour of the plasma canon varies throughout, but this pic shows NECA's reasoning.

They did make it WAY too bright though.

Ah good find! Looks like NECA pretty much patterned the figure from this image. I actually never read War, was it as good as the first series?

The first issue (Issue#0 of 0/1/2/3/4) was great, but the rest suffered because of the artwork.

And not a single one can stand up straight. For **** sake NECA!

It's plain for all to see right here. What way are you making these things?

 

[Caped Baldy]

NECA's Preds topple over quicker than Ronaldo does in a penalty area with those legs.

When the big guy does come (likely next year now) and if he does have the same leg problem, it's worrying that him taking a shelf dive will collapse the entire thing.

Polio Predators line looks decent especially the one with the silver thong.

The leaning Predators of Pisa

 

[jye4ever]

Holy

Crap

I can’t UNSEE NOW!

lol

This is what’s it’s like to pose a NECA figure

 

[a-dev]

Funny as these jokes are I do find this annoying. Does Randy really see no issue with this? It's been a problem ever since they switched to this kind of increased articulation and they just keep pumping out these drunk figures.

There must surely be a way to fix this at production.

 

[Heavy Metal Spike]

I don't stand NECA figures up dead straight anyways - so not really a problem as far as I'm concerned

That’s like saying “I never intend to get into a head on collision so I don’t care if my seat belt and air bag don’t work”

Ah yes, Chris Warner is pretty hard to follow up on, loved his style. Thanks for that link!

 

[Reefer Shark]

The leg wonkiness does suck, no way around it. Its the one really unfortunate shortcoming that NECA just cant seem to get a grip on.

Like Heavy Metal Spike said though, I never stand them straight up in a super stiff pose so the figures are still all good for me.
