Now it's been a couple of weeks since release and my hype and excitement has calmed down and I've settled on "decent, solid movie but not amazing" I'm not sure I'm that fussed about figures from the movie.
I don't collect 1/12 figures, so I wouldn't get anything from NECA.
I think a HT Feral Pred could look very impressive but I don't want to PO and wait 2 years for release, when I'd probably care even less about the characters/Feral Pred/movie but also, what I really want from HT, isn't a Feral Predator, it's a new, redone from scratch, improved, Jungle Hunter or City Hunter.
They do need to get something out whilst Predator hype is hot.
This franchise isn't like Star Wars or superhero stuff, that churns out "content" constantly.
People will move onto something new.
I'd think most of us here are life long Predator fans, but most collectors probably aren't. They'll be distracted by a new Batman or Superdog figure or whatever, whatever is new, very soon.
Even myself, a Predator fan since the 80's, is getting less and less interested in a figure from this movie (though my love for the classic Preds will never wane and I always want newer and better figures of them) let alone people who consume all the popular content and collect whatever is the newest, hottest thing.
HT needs to get something up before too long.
