PREDATOR/PREDATOR 2 Action Figures from NECA

I think zuckuss77 was referring to the different names these predator figures are being given compared to what most of us know them as. There probably isn't a definitive name for each, hot toys used Guardian, Lost Predator and Shadow, and there was Elder/Greyback. Unless they are named in the script, movie credits or a licenced book then different names will be used.
 
aaaand here we go. where to start? legs color don't match the upper body - that hurts (same was on my S3 Classic) and the head... *****, mcfarlane's one had better paint apps on the head...
 
I think the head being too small has more to do with the dreads being swept back in the package. Uruk, I gotta agree with you this time. i think a fataly mistake on this one is making his base color such a stark white. It just doesn't look right. he was more of a off white or cream. Ah, well.
 
Damn!I really like it.Sure its not perfect but its better than the Mcfarlane paintjob to me.I was really scared they were gonna leave out the leg stripes.
 
Two-pack november and the following series in december. Honestly, they've never come out on time in my area. I typically see them in stores or shipped to me three or fourth months after they've supposedly been released.
 
I'm usually happy with neca's paint apps as long as the sculpting is accurate. But damn in almost every series? Now that's taking the mick. I have to agree MCF p2 has much decent paint job. Aahhhh! what the hell am I complaining for I'm getting it anyway.
 
Wow, i'm so looking forward to getting my hands on series 4! Boar? what can i say...Neca have done a great job, i don't think i'll be repainting him at all.
As for P2 and Hippie. I will try and give them the paint jobs they deserve :D never the less their sculpts are perfect!
 
I dont think they are that bad. Again, its only a 7 inch scale, and the best we've had before are mcfarlanes and kenner lol... so be happy. Just touch them up a bit and they'd be great.

I saw NECA's Castlevania figures today. The Dracula came with a rediculous amount of accessories, hands, etc... the predators in my opinion are lacking in accessories. I mean hell, that P2 only comes with a disc ?

Actually, according to Randy (from twitter), the two-pack will be in stores probably late November or early December...
And Series 4 about 2-3 weeks before the 2 pack :cool:

A decent amount of their figures use to come with bases and a great deal of accessories. Once the economy went in the pot that all went away. People complained about it but neca said there was little they could do. It was a cost cutting measure for the company that would keep the shelf price stable as oil skyrocketed.

The dates I stated were from their twitter a couple months back. No surprise that it's changed slightly. It happens.
 
i'm sorry but i have several mcf p2's and those things didn't even have paint jobs compared to this, mcf color scheme: totally off, mcf patterns: almost non existent, mcf head paint app: well it looks like a generic alien that might be in some movie called "hunter", seriously, i'm lookin at it right now and i'm sorry but it's just not fair to say mcf did way better, now maybe you guys got different ones and i bought mexican knock offs (no offense to anyone from that great land) but at least neca tried IMO.

the p2 also has got to be just about the hardest to get right from my experience, very complicated, still not to excuse them, but it doesn't look half bad to me, ya ya i know, mr. glass half full over here but still... to try and take all the work those guys on stans team did for each suit in that movie and shrink them that small has got to be next to impossible. at least on the two-ups there's a little more canvas, and they're prototypes of course :D

*regarding the "mexican knock offs" i was just referring to the horrible kenner recasts or what ever that i've seen floating around ebay, they're total ******* abortions. anyway, it was not a jab at the country itself, just those selling them said thats where they came from.*
