Just got back from my local TRU(King or Prussia,Pa & Montgomeryville,Pa) . Nothing.What really angered me was that they had an entire wall dedicated to ***king Twilight DVDs,Shirts, and toys. Going to check again on my birthday(8/3) see if I get Lucky.

Twilight is actually cool. I like it. Because they have an area devoted to Twilight doesn't mean they will not carry Predators, it doesn't even affect the Predators line. Why the bitching? I guess you could also bitch that there is an entire aisle devoted to Barbie?

About the huge difference between the Berserker's chest that NECA show us and the final version:

Question:
Just hope you guys fix the chest paint.

Answer:
working on that now for Series 2. Pushing factory to their limits

That's great news

 

[sabres21768]

It's great news.

But...it means I'm going to have to buy a new set of Berserker Pred figures if the paint app gets fixed.

Something new from NECA on Twitter...

@NECA_TOYS Yeah seen the pic, looks cool. Regardless of what's behind it? Could you do a video or something to demonstrate? It seems awesome

@DioramaMaker we will as we progress. Cooking up something special for Falconer too that we're not ready to announce yet.

 

[YautjaHunter]

it seems that they will be releasing a falconer variant that has a falcon accessory whatcha guys think?...

got my set already...

..and so it begins yet again. Release as many variants as possible so you and I can keep our "collection" complete as possible.

Hmmmm.... sounds like a tad bit of greed to me. But, I do like me some figures, and especially the PRED's.

Berserker skin paint (not just chest) looks like I could have done it. It's just polka dotted red and black. I'm not an artist but still have a good eye for quality and it seems to be missing on the released Berserker.

I really hope this manys there going to release a Falcon for Falconer and only a Faclcon. NO Variant

Oh, you KNOW it's going to be a variant.

If there is a way to sell more figures, NECA will do it.

And making a Falconer variant with a falcon will do just that.

Totally agree. Over the years NECA has become cheaper and cheaper with their production runs. Ever since the gas crunch. There's no doubt in my mind it'll be a variant. Hell, how many variants did wolf have? Four or five that I know of.

 

[PredatrHuntr]

I shall call him Polka Dot Pred!

1- Wolf (with mask)
2- Wolf (unmasked)
3- Wolf (unmasked - open mouth)
4- Wolf Battle Damage (with mask)
5- Wolf Battle Damage (unmasked - open mouth)
6- Wolf stealth mode
7- Wolf Mid-Cloak Predator

Seven figures with the same body (they just changed the heads and accessories) and i didn't saw anyone complaining.

That's why I wouldn't mind if they release the AVP1 preds (Celtic, Scar and Elder) with same body, just with different heads and accessories)

Dude, can you (or whoever has one of these) do me a favor?

If you open it, can you look up under the jaw and tell me if the jawbone is attached to a fully sculpted mask?

I'm wanting to take the jawbone off of one of my figs, when I get it, and I've been really curious if the mask is sculpted under that jawbone.

 

[hellonearth]

now buddy, no i don't have one yet, but from what i can tell with my "screen zoom" in every pic i've seen there is definately a gap between, at least the teeth on the jawbone, and the mask.

from what little i know of molds and things, it would almost have to be a seperate mold from how small it is, and probably much more tedious to get that level of detail if it were one piece.

just an uneducated guess though

that link with the falconer pics is great man i was really wantin some comparison pics next to mcfarlane preds. mcf preds look look like stick figs with armor falconer looks better with every new pic!

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping...that's there's a fully sculpted mask under that jawbone.

And I can guarantee you this...once I get mine...you're going to see all kinds of comparison shots with my McFarlane preds.

 

[YautjaHunter]

sorry for the late reply sabres

I guess neca will be releasing a lot of variants for these and we need to get the variant falconer if ever it will has a extra accessory which is the falcon...

but as far as I can see (my figure is still moc) it's possible to remove the jawbone on the mask...I'm also planning to buy an extra if I have the budget...

by the way will be opening it later at night...hehehe I will be posting pics again...


(by the way the story at the back of the card of berserker saying that he was the youngest yautja to ever kill a xenomorph and reach young blood status and considered a prodigy among his clan, he quickly rose to almost legendary warrior status as well as achieving more kills than any predator of his generation and he became a leader of his own hunting clan )

 

[YautjaHunter]

I have good news for you sabres yup you can remove the jaw bone on berserker pred...

I just opened my berserker and damn it looks good out of the packaging but got some little issues

my berserker elbow and knee joint is loose...

but over all it looks great but for other guys I think it needs to be repainted to achieve the reptile skin look...
