We were wrong. We were so wrong!

Tons of toys out.

Kenner Predators
Kenner Aliens will be shipping in another week or two.
Donatello is in stock on the NECA store/Amazon, meaning he'll be at other stores soon enough.
Scarface and Clan Leader are out and in stock on TRU.com and in some stores (but not mine, because mine sucks).

And big announcement today, the "lost wave" of Prometheus is coming! Probably because of the sequel or whatever that's coming. But hey, if you wanted Abortion chick, fugly butt mutant, and Charles The Ron, they're coming finally!

The licenses are probably both expensive and very lax in restrictions. So they need to cost out the license fee with product releases, and they have a shit ton of ways to do it.

My Clan Leader' right foot is really loose and keeps on popping in and out. How can I fix it?
>>
>>6063628
Pop the foot out, put a few layers of scotch tape on the joint head, cram it back in the socket. You just need friction and volume.
>>
>>6063636
>>6063628

Another option is to pop the foot off, use hot to boiling water to soften the plastic and squeeze on it, let it cool, it should hold tighter.

OR another method that works, but takes longer, add a dab of Elmer's glue to the inside of the foot. Use a toothpick to get an even coat, let it dry. Add another layer, and another as they dry. Two or three coats and it should have enough friction to stay put.

>>
>>6063194
I've been out of the loop with Neca threads, but what figures did they show? We talking the original POTA or the newer POTA?
>>
>>6064142
So how are the hip articulations on NECA Preds and Aliens? I've wanted them for a long time but I thought they have swivel hips.

But I recently bought a NECA 94 Godzilla and was frankly astounded with the articulation and heft. That thing was Monsterarts or better quality but at just a third of the price. And I say this as someone who has a bunch of Monsterarts (albeit not Godzilla himself).

But back to the question at hand. I've seen become a bit of a NECA fan and I'm wondering if I should grab some Aliens. My main concern's the hip articulation. Simple swivel or more?
>>
>>6064149
It's swivel-ball.
>>
>>6064149
>monsterarts or better quality

yeah no
>>
>>6064149

Same construction as the preds, basically, swivel thigh and a swivel hinge hip joint.
>>
>>6064151
Yes.
>>
>Watch a review of Ghost Predator
>Find out the mask is removable, rather than a alternate head

What??? For years I thought NECA's been saying that it's impossible to implement a removable mask on the predator heads
>>
>>6064142
NECA Preds in general are larger than their humans (they're almost an inch taller than Dutch) and the AVP Preds are even bigger
>>
>>6064203

Like, nearly all of the Kenner Preds have removable masks. And to be fair, they've extremely bulky and wouldn't look as good on a movie figure. But look great for Kenner stuff.
>>
>>6064150
>>6064154
Swivel hinge eh? Guess I'll have to check out some reviews to make sure they don't have that dumb DC level gap when they're moved outwards.

Otherwise, might pick an alien or two up. Any recommendations?
>>
>>6064217
ahh, okay.
I dont own any Predators as you can tell.
Definitely gonna get Scarface though.
>>
>>6064409
Any of the warriors. Big Chap and Isolation Xeno are more or less the same thing and have their limits in elbow and feet articulation range. Dog is AMAZING and highly poseable. Haven't gotten the AVP xenos yet, so can't say anything on them.
>>
>>6063615
>NECA offers plenty enough articulation to make their figures look natural
>people are still shit at posing
Why is this allowed?
>>
>>6062631
Guess I'm one of the only ones excited for these. Though getting the regular Fifield instead of the (better) Xeno-inspired design really sucks.

>>6062882
>>6063494
>>6063496
All of these. I remember watching the behind the scenes and how the guys behind the CGI for the Xeno Fifield seemed really disappointed that Ridley Scott opted to go full prosthetics when they already put so much work into the CGI model. Which is funny because the CGI model looked utterly frightening especially compared to the retarded zombie ape we got in the end.
>>
>>6064146
Series 4 for the classic line. They were getting to Julius and characters from the TV series.

The POTA classic line was one of the best NECA ever did.
>>
>>6064548
>plenty
lol no, there isn't plenty of articulation on neca toys, especially if you mean relative to other brands
hitler killed plenty of jews, but relative to stalin, it wasn't much. and much like neca's articulation we would have been better off if he had tried harder with it

Considering the pose looks unnatural as fuck, and its video gamey polygons clipping through each other, I don't think any figure existing on a physical, 3-dimensional plane could pull a pose like this off.

Now that they're basically done with the Kenner Predators, what are the odds of NECA doing Metapredators?
>>
>>6064412
Scarface is an alt head, not a removable mask.

I think what it is is the removable masks don't justify tooling an entirely new head piece, it costs less plastic/tooling to just do a mask piece. Plus the Kenner masks only need to be accurate to the original toys so if they're a little bigger or bulky it doesn't matter, but trying to make a removable mask for a movie style head would be impossible. Not even the movie suits have properly removable masks.
>>
>>6065670
I don't think they're done with Kenner. A lot of the guys in this wave had repaints that were KB exclusives, and I think there's like 2-3 more they could do. Plus they could redo Cracked Tusk with a removable mask

Would putting superglue around the socket then shoving it in work?

It's riskier, but yes, it can work. You'll want to keep working the joint around so it never freezes in place though. It's time consuming and you gotta be careful with it otherwise.
>>
>>6066091
Most of them only had a short run, and everybody expected the line to not do well anyway because the movie didn't

Carrier and Ravager
>>
>>6068005

It's kind of a superfluous joint anyway.
>>
>>6068010
Strongly disagree. With how limited the ball ankles are, the lack of calf or knee swivel changes how poseable they are significantly compared to the AVP ones. Building new CH/JH bodies from the ground up only to be inferior to the AVP one is a total buzzkill. I think these are the exact same as the last version from the hips down.

I had so much fun with the AVP figures and am disappointed to find Spiked Tail and soon the ultimates to be downgrades. At least theres always Clan Leader and Scarface.

It's inferior to the figures that came before and alongside it. That's a downgrade. Nobody's freaking out, just expressing my disappointment. You might think you can pose them fine, but the AVP figures pose even better and set a higher standard that these new figures aren't going to meet.

Pretty sure he's the dude that replies stuff like "fuck you" to anyone saying anything about NECA.
And this isn't even like that, it's comparing one neca product to another.
He's actually shitting himself because a guy said one style of predator body wasn't as articulated as the avp ones and it disapointed him.
>>
>>6068846
Are you the fag that is so butthurt over an exceptionally minor detail like dred length that your blew up and shit all over the thread claiming nobody should buy it because it's "wrong" and "supporting it tells NECA it's okay to make mistakes?"

Asylum Ash would make my day, he looked awesome in that makeshift getup. Ashy Slash puppet is a must.

You bring up something that you know is a shitposting tactic, and then act like a victim. How do you think people are going to react? It's not an important detail, it's not relevant to the discussion. You shout it out loud as if anyone will suddenly change their mind on a toy.

It's stupid and asinine. And you know exactly why you continue to bring it up, over and over again. It's a nothing topic.
>>
>>6068868
The guy was responding to a question. The question regarded articulation for that pose, which includes around the head. Which includes how the dress look.

But yeah, definitely a shitposting tactic
>>
>>6068856
Hawaiian shirt Ash maybe. Really hope it's not almost entirely Ash variants since the first line already had three.

I'd like some other characters to pose with Ash.

>>6068903
Unless I'm mistaken, I recall that they were considering Pablo due to the Necronomicon mask being a possibly neat alternate head sculpt.

>>6068652
It's not an opinion. It's a fact. You can ignore it all you want but it won't change the reality that the new figures' articulation is inferior to the AVP's setup.

Well we know we're getting Evil Ed from Evil Dead 2, and Ultimate Hero Ash for the 30th Anniversary.

As far as AvED S2, I have no clue, besides the replica Ash puppet they announced.
The figures I feel like could be anything. My guess is atleast a Ash with puppet hand and a new Henrietta, reusing some peices from the first. I can't imagine theyd make ANOTHER 5th Ash in the line. My guess for the last figure would be one of Ruby's adult kids.

Ideally but not realistically I would love skinless Baal(Even though I hated everything about Baal as a character), Adult Demon Spawn, and Deadite Sheryl .

Have any of you seen this Ash without a weirdly unbloody left forearm? I was pretty pumped to find the 3pack over the weekend but the two I found both had 1 half clean arm so I passed. Now that I've seen this promo shot with it like that though I'm worried they're all like that.

Oh, bummer. That's so weird that they decided to just not bloody up his forearm and hand. Oh well.

I think the idea is he'd be shooting with that hand, so it's not in the splatter zone. I'll double check mine when I get home.

Your priorities are all wrong. I'm not saying I don't want some of the game designs, but why haven't we gotten pred-alien yet? We got some obscure kenner stuff. We got an alien-head Predator. Why no Pred-alien?
>>
>>6069138
You'd think the chainsaw splatter would get there at least since he's literally covered everywhere else

Well, maybe, I haven't seen the back of the figure since I didn't buy it. But I'm assuming it's bloody back there too.

>>6069141
They made a Predalien back when AvPR came out. They just haven't gotten around to remaking it.

Just picked up GMK Godzilla at TRU and jesus christ those bottom jaws are painted terribly. Only 2 had jaws that were mostly covered up, and one of those had a big chunk of paint missing from it's spine, so I took the other.
Other than that bizarre stuff, their Godzilla have improved. Paint detail (Besides the jaw) is nice on this one, although i would have preferred something more film accurate.
After seeing the paint job theyre doing for their shin, combined with the updated sculpt they showed off, I'm super pumped for it.

Also so Scarface Predator there. I REALLY want it, but I know there's a chance I'll be getting it for Christmas so I didn't pick it up.
It hurt cus I fee like if I dont get it, then I'll never see it again, but I know I could just get it online

I know right? she is really just annoying and cringy. Pablo is pretty great, Ruby too but I've just got a thing for Lucy Lawless. I'd like to see them make either a Jacksonville Ash or an Asylum Ash.
>>
>>6065689
I want Hive Wars with a removable mask. The original was perfect with the moving jaw.
>>
>>6068856

I want a Hawaiian shirt Ash with some beers/chairs/bar counter/whatever, and a Bruce Campbell grinning face.

I definitely need a Pablo with a normal face, screaming in goofy terror face, and happy face.

And a Kelly with her normal face and frustrated face.

Give me those and you'll get 3 purchases easily, NECA.

He's still involved as producer and adviser, but bowed out as director to lower the cost of the film. That's one of the reasons why the studio went forward with it.

It's a Jin custom.

No leaking, the water is kept isolated inside the tube, only problem would be knocking the tube over or something, but even in this case, chances of any water reaching the eletronics is minimum.

The Current Avp Alien has the best articulation, though the Dog Alien is a solid contender. The Alien 3 wave is still in stores so that is easy to find.

So I know everybody gets raging hard-ons over NECA's quality control issues, so let me add lube to the metaphorical boner, if I may:

Currently have Big Chap, 1989 Batman, Ultimate Ash, Tech Noir T-800 and Robocop (jet pack version) all sitting here on my desk. Never in my fucking life have I had as much fucking trouble with a figure as I've had with that Robo figure.

Buy him about 2 years ago at a comic shop in Phoeniz (live in Nashville, TN). Just decided to open him recently, and because read about how fucking delicate/breakable the fucking gun holster portion of the figure is, I ever so gingerly and carefully trying pushing the door on it closed, aaaaaaand...SNAP! Basically, this fucks me because Neca won't replace the figure unless you've purchased it through them.

To be continued...

>>6072635
So I say, fuck it, and buy another one brand new from NECA's eBay store, pay the stupid fucking inflated shipping fees. A few days later, the item arrives. "So far, so good," I think. Continue looking the thing over. "Goddamnit!" Brand new, never opened, and the figure is completely missing a piece to the gun holster housing. Like, it was never even put on at the factory.

To be concluded...

Back to NECA the piece of shit goes. Reaching my wit's end, I turn to Amazon. Amazon has them for a great price under their "Fulfilled by Amazon" category. I order it, and being paranoid due to my prior experiences, I contact Amazon's customer service department to ask them to please, PLEASE inspect the item carefully before shipping. "Yessir, will do!"

It arrives. Looks good. I open it and hold my breath...Fuck. My. Life. Sloppy paint apps on the upper body. There's a chip on the front of Robo's helmet. But thank God I actually manage to close the gun compartment on this one without breaking it. Desperate, I decide to pop the decent-looking upper body off my original one and place it on the intact lower half of the newest one. Phew, done. Perfect Robocop 3 figure.

My love/hate relationship with Neca continues.

The top right side of the right knee joint was totally fused to the middle/kneecap piece. I had to heat it up, take off the armor and hack through the fused plastic with my stanley knife.

Hip joints were also extremely loose right out of the box, but I've come to expect this from any predator using the P2 body.

Still a great figure overall, love the colours used on his paint and the fact that his plasma caster can be mounted onto his wrist.

You know, certain Predators have actually had well known issues, even though they've largely used the same two bodies.

That original P2 Elder from wave 3 had horrible elbows that broke really easily due to some issue with the pins in the joint, even though it was the stock and standard Jungle Hunter body.

Even though some Preds (especially on the P2 body) have loose hips, both versions of Borg were especially bad, for some reason.

Personally, I'm finding Spike Tail to have a lot of issues, and it seems to be a common thing.

People are also having issues, it seems with the Kenner Clan leaders legs being pretty much frozen solid. Also, it being the one Kenner figure they actually painted the netting on, the netting looks jank as fuck on almost all of them. I saw an entire batch at TRU where the net paint didn't even hit the net molding on the body. But the one I got, I ordered online, and the netting was painted fine. But wouldn't you know it: Both of his legs are frozen solid at the crotch.

I had almost 40 Predators up to the first AvP wave, and only had issues with maybe a couple of them. I think I've bought another dozen or so Predators since then, and at least half of them have had issues of some sort.

Was that the "classic" Pred they put out? I saw two in stores with broken elbows in the package and it kept me from ever opening mine.

My clan leader had both biceps and forearms majority stuck.

No amount of heat wanted to free up the forearms easily so I eventually had to just go for it and give them a sharp twist.

Thankfully everything turned out ok and the paint fusing them let go.

>inb4 LIER! IN HAVE 15 AND NONE OF THEM HAD THIS ISSUE!!!!!
>>
>>6073189
Rather than twist, just pull off the stuck limbs, cool the pegs, heat the limbs up again and then pop em back on. Twisting is dangerous, especially with a heated up and flexible peg, but pulling straight should be fine.

Might have spoken too soon about Scarface. I didn't notice at first but his left elbow has the exact same issue as Spiked Tail's knee.

The middle elbow part is fused to the bicep. I've tried heating it and cutting it like I did with Spiked Tail, but this one really stuck, and the joint being a lot smaller isn't helping. I'm worried it'll break off if I keep trying to move it so I'll leave it for now.

Such a shame, he was almost a 10/10 figure.
>>
>>6073292
You can dunk it in boiling water and pull the joint out, then pop it back in. Used this to fix stuck aliens and a foot soldier, although the water damaged the foot soldier so maybe try a hair dryer first.
>>
>>6073292
What is that stuff between the elbow and upper arm? I had to scrape something like that off of Spiked tail
>>
>>6073304

Already tried heating it. Says right there.

Not that trying again will hurt.

No but really, I own a shitload of figures, and I simply don't run into these problems. Hell, I even own the first release Masked Jungle Hunter and Elder Pred and mine never broke (but I know to be careful with my stuff anyway). I must be blessed by God himself.
>>
>>6073317

Did you use boiling water? Use boiling water. If you have an injector or pipet that can help centralize where you put the heat, otherwise just pour it over a bowl onto the elbow and gently start moving the joint. You have to be patient, but it'll come lose.

This is the second time I'm dealing with this issue today so I have some idea of what I'm doing. Maybe my pic is bad or you guys just can't see, there is no seam between the middle part and the bicep, so the top part of the elbow joint won't move.

Boiling water was the first thing I used, it made the plastic soft enough to cut into and free the joint from the bicep, but it still won't budge.

Okay, maybe this will help you all understand my issue better.

You see the whitened area on the plastic above the elbow joint? That's where I've had to cut because there was no gap for the joint to move (because the joint was fused to the bicep!). Despite cutting through the fusion, the joint still won't move, I've tried heating it, cooling it, pushing it, even gently twisting it, but nothing so far seems to be working.

This is probably my 25th Neca predator, I lost count. This is also the first issue I've had with a predator using the AvP body.

The store I bought it from doesn't do returns, and as far as I'm aware Neca customer service in the UK is pretty much non-existant, which means I'm pretty much shit outta luck unless I fix it myself.

I tried contacting Neca a while ago about my AvP xeno warrior which kept falling apart at the hips and got nowhere with them. (Pic related, I eventually managed to put him back together but he still falls apart if you attempt to move his legs)
>>
>>6073357

Jesus dude, you don't need to take a blade to this shit. Seriously.
>>
>>6073377
Boiling water poured directly onto the fused area did nothing. It was completely stuck until I cut it. Now it has some wiggle room but I still can't get it to move properly.
>>
>>6073376
Wait, you mean you live outside of the region that NECA customer service offers replacements to?

>but their QC is still well below the standard required for them to be considered "good"

This is the kind of mentality that needs to be crushed. You act like every toy out there has a problem, just because someone has a problem. They're well above good, and your opinion doesn't change that.
>>
You guys are dumb.

Just stick the figure into a mug or bowl of water that you nuked.
Try to see if joint can move after it returns to room temperature. Doesnt?
Dry it out as best as possible, usually by shaking, then stick it in the freezer for half an hour.

This should unstick any joint.

In the unlikely event that it hasn't become unstuck, you nuke the bowl again and submerge figure for a minute. Let it return back to room temp, attempt motion, and then freeze.

If it's still stuck, you're doing it wrong.
>>
>>6074220
oh, and if you guys are truly dumb, don't even attempt to move the joint after freezing it.
Never try to move the joints when it's not room temperature, unless you know what you're doing and understand how the plastics will respond.
>>
>>6074220
>>6074224

I never have to do the freezer trick, but yeah, this is good info. If you're patient and careful, you can unstick anything.
>>
>>6074210
No, you're wrong as per usual.
They have good runs here and there but their qc just isn't good

There is no other toy company I buy from where I have to have a hair drier on standby before I even open the figure. There's no other company where I EXPECT frozen joints or a high likelyhood something will break if I don't treat it like delf.
3 of my last 4 neca purchases had qc issues right out the box. That's too damn often. Such a pity as the figures can be so good too. But you'll ignore that part and scream troll.
>>
>>6074270
that's your own anecdotal evidence. I have over 40 neca figures and only 4 have had frozen joints. What does that say?
>>
>>6074277
It says that your anecdotal evidence differs from mine.
However yours is worth less since you're likely that insane necanon who doesn't operate on logic and will say anything to protect neca.
Also, that's 10% of your figures having frozen joints. That's too damn high
>>
>>6074285
So you are trying to disregard my point because it's in defense of neca? Interesting.
Also I have have 12 figuarts, and 2 had stuck joints, a much higher ratio than my neca figures, but you don't see me crying about it on the figuarts generals because I'm not so autistic to think my anecdotal evidence applies to the entirety of the company.
>>
>>6074290
No i'm disregarding yours because you're likely necanon. Who honestly doesn't deserve an opinion on anything.
The immediate attack on bandai confirms your identity. I don't collect figuarts so I don't give a shit. We are talking about Neca and their dodgy qc.
People don't just say that for the fun of it. Neca cultivated this through years of releasing figures with horrendous quality control. And despite what your cognitive dissonance will have you believe, it's commonly known all over the internet that their qc is garbage, not just this board.

The company has improved, they used to release statues, now there stuff is some of the most articulated on the market while also looking amazing. But their qc is still below the average for a good company
>>
>>6074298
You're hilariious. You just called me necanon earlier and now you're picking a fight with some other guy. You're fucking paranoid and I love that you sit on your high horse about it.

You're why these generals go to shit. You place blame on everyone except yourself.
>>
>>6074298
Their QC is above average, get the memes out of your salty vag. If you bought toys in any significant form from other companies you'd realize what a dickhead you're being.
>>
>>6074298
>The immediate attack on bandai confirms your identity.
Not only am I not necanon, like you are desperately hoping, I didn't attack bandai either, I just pointed out I have had higher ratio of stuck joints, but I don't believe that applies to the rest of the company
But regardless of your intent to disregard my point with such flimsy logic, I still disagree with you. Neca's qc was garbage in the past, but since their Craig Windrex figure I have yet to have an issue across their multiple series, from godzilla, to pacific rim to predator, aliens and HoTS. Again, purely anecdotal admittedly.
>>
>>6074308

You do realise that after the anecdotal evidence given that mentioned 10% of their neca products had frozen joints proved my point right?
Like there is no argument here. And that post was in DEFENSE of neca lmao.

Look I like their figures, they really knock it out of the park sometimes. But they are known for their shoddy qc, you just can't risk buying one of their figures without having a hair drier at hand. This thread alone has a good few mentions of different anons having qc issues out of the box. And the community here is so toxic that people shouted at them and called them trolls instead of helping.

>>6074328

Not the anon you're replying to, but his point is the anecdotal evidence of someone defending neca still damned them.
We're all in a neca thread, let's not pretend we haven't experienced their bad QC before.

And we do have a toxic community, there's an anon that has an autistic fit of rage if anyone says anything slightly negative. Not to mention this very thread were multiple anons called out a guy using photo evidence of his qc problems as a troll.

You're part of the problem
>you've got a sick vendetta against these threads, that's what you've proven

What is this nonsense? they guy mentioned he likes their figures but that he has had too many qc issues with them. You just go to extreme lengths to try and find an excuse why people aren't having these problems.

Well here's my anecdotal evidence. In my last 5 neca products only 1 had issues, but it was assembled WRONG. I also had to use a hair drier on stuck joints for two of them, but we will ignore that.
>>
>>6074339

Yeah me either, though i've had two with badly warped legs and 3 ad their legs break from slightly moving them shortly after buying them.

>>
>>6074358

You're literally just parroting what he said back at him, then changing the subject to another company, while simultaneously ignoring the fact he clearly likes the company since he's in this thread and keeps buying their figures.

Do me a favor, go on amazon and look at the reviews for their aliens warrior figures. The amount of complaining about warped and broken legs is insane, you think the reviewers on amazon are in on the plot to shit on neca as well?

Grow up dude, they have bad qc doesn't make them a bad company but we all agree they need to improve.

They don't have bad QC just because you say so dude, get that through your thick skull.

You honestly believe every single one of them are lying just to hurt your feelings and attack neca?

And that's the way it should be.
Every anon in this thread loves neca figures or at least some of them, or they wouldn't be here.
But any sane person will admit their qc is sub standard. At the end of the day, we are getting well articulated, highly detailed figures for damn good prices, that's what keeps us coming back.
And it's not to much to ask for them to up their game when it comes to quality control.
But you're right, arguing with them is pointless.

Maybe in the next thread we can have actual discussion about the figures. Nice collection dude.

It wasn't that the argument was AVP bodies are more or less articulated, it was that having less articulation than the AVP bodies isn't somehow a downgrade. Which it is. I put Scar in a crouch/squat with both feet flat and he's still standing like that a day later. Trying that pose with the old leg artic setup is not possible.

Can I have a pic of that squatting pose? thinking about buying scarface and I want to see what the pose looks like on the same body style (haven't gotten any of the new style bodies yet)

Ahh I see, you're the dude who was on the losing (read wrong) side of that argument.
You're very easy to spot.

>>
>>6074479

Claim victory to an argument I wasn't a part of? no I'm doing this to watch you lose your millionth argument in a row. You lack the mental facilities required to put up a decent defense. You just resort to name calling or ignoring the facts and spewing buzzwords like troll and shit posting.

Don't worry, i'm done with you, you've been embarrassed enough.
>>
>>6074468

You do realize the legs are just carry forwards, right? They redid the torsos and arms, and that's it. That's where the tooling dollars went. It's not a downgrade, it's just a different configuration.
>>
>>6074485

No but I think you just found your destiny.
Send pics pls when completed

The fact is you're sticking your dick in when you don't have a clue as to what you're talking about, or even the context. But no, it's great that you can't tell people apart, it makes you look like an even bigger fool.
>>
>>6074488
Damn, i barelly have money for one (these cost a lot where i live), but yeah, i might give it a try.
>>
>>6074487
>You do realize the legs are just carry forwards, right?

Yes, I do. As an overall figure and counting the artic, it's a downgrade from the AVP figures. The AVP toys are fabulous. These old legs new body figures are not.
>>
>>6074495

Let me guess, uk?
>>
>>6074486

Truthfully, I think you just wanted a reason to shoot your mouth off, kid. Just going by your abrasive posting, anyway. Regardless of whose right or wrong.
>>
>>6074506
Br actually.
>>
>>6074505
I think they work perfectly well. They give me all the articulation I want to pose them. I'm happy.
>>
>>6074512
I'm glad you're happy. After the AVP figures, my standards are a little higher. The legs and solid torso were my biggest problems with the line pre-AVP. These Kenner and Ultimate figures are one step back from them.
>>
>>6074474
Yeah, I'll get you when I'm not in the shower. Don't get your hopes up though, it's not a very deep squat.
>>
>>6074507

Stop shit posting

>>6074519
Sounds like the AVP figures really are worth buying then? I never liked their designs, but I may buy scarface and I heard he uses their mold.

Btw has anyone got the serpent hunter, is he good?
>>
>>6074519
I disagree. I think they hold up just as well. I think it's unfair to paint them with a broad stroke saying they're "downgrades" when they're still excellent figures. It just seems silly to me, I guess. It puts them in an unnecessary negative light.
>>
>>6074528

Serpent Hunter doesn't even come out until next year along with the AvP Elder and some other background AvP Pred.
>>
>>6074528
Take your own advice and butt out where you're not needed or helping, kid.
>>
>>6074537
Stop shit posting and continuing these arguments you moron, i'm not who you think I am.

>>6074535
Well that's unfortunate, not enough predators have two sets of wrist blades, like the dudes from avp extinction.
>>
>>6074540
Yet you claim to know who others are. How hypocritical.
>>
>>6074543

I'm replying to you specifically, and by your posts I can tell you're trying to ignite these arguments again you moron. Drop it now idiot.
>>
>>6074534
I don't know why you're taking such offense to the word "downgrade." It's still a decent toy, it's just a step down from what came before it. It's still an upgrade to the pre-AVP figures. The AVP body took 2 steps forward, these took 1 step back from that. When you consider that these are the setups for the new Ultimate figures, it's disappointing to me that the AVP ones will still be the best NECA Preds yet. I don't give a shit about AVP, I just want City and Jungle Hunters up to that level.
>>
>>6074528
Yeah, I just said above that I really, REALLY couldn't care less about AVP as properties, but they made for the best NECA figures. Scarface and Klan Leader also use that body. Only problem so far is outside of those two, every figure on that body looks pretty similar to eachother. Movie accurate, sure, but doesn't make for the most exciting or varied display.
>>
>>6074557
>similar to eachother.
Lets not forgert that for those who do collect the Avp Preds there is the upside of being able to swap hands, which is always cool.
>>
>>6074563
That's true, but to be fair I think every Predator hand is swappable with every other Predator hand. Not that it'll look right, but it's still doable.

It just makes me wish they had included swappable hands rather than have people buy them all for the chance to swap them out.
>>
>>6074554

Because I find it to be tossing aside the good things about the figures and focusing on one possibly bad aspect. They may not match your "high standards" but it does ignore excellent work.
>>
>>6074574

They probably figured most people were going to buy either all of them or most of them anyway, so giving like, 10 predators each three sets of the same hands didn't really make much sense.

It's focusing on one aspect because that's the one aspect I felt like discussing because I found it disappointing. It doesn't discount the rest at all. It doesn't ignore the "excellent work" of upgrading half a figure and leaving the bottom half untouched and inferior to the AVP figure. Not every post has to break down every aspect of every toy just because you feel like pointing out one aspect is somehow a problem.


Besides, there's nothing "excellent" about repeatedly putting out product with the same issues as before, like these loose hips.

The AVP figures were excellent. This is less so. Downgrade. Sorry if you can't see past that and feel the need to be fixated on my use of a word you don't like. I think you'll get over it though.
>>
>>6074578
>>6074636

Also, "my" "high standard" isn't "mine" at all. It's the standard set by NECA themselves when they outdid themselves and put out the AVP figures. These new ones aren't up to the standard they previously set.

He can probably get more range with a little heat. The overlays really restrict the range of motion. It'd also look better if the torso got as much range as the new torsos did. The bottom half of an AVP pred with the top half of a new CH would probably be their best possible setup with the parts they have now.

I'd like to see if anyone has any of the other AVP based figures to see if they can get deeper. The other two from the wave are boxed up right now, but I think they have the same restrictions.
>>
>>6074640
It's what they felt jungle and city hunter needed, meaning it was a purposeful choice on their part. That's really all you need.
>>
>>6074697
There was a point where they felt they only needed v-cut hips. There was a point in time where they felt Terminator toys didn't need to move their legs.

This was an intentional choice to increase profit margins. It makes for a lesser toy compared to what they've previously released.

What you need to play with your toys is not what everyone else necessarily wants or needs.
>>
>>6074506
Britbong here.

Prices are going crazy on Neca stuff in the UK lately. I paid £26.99 for Scarface, the same shop was selling the skinned body accessory pack for £27.99

You Americans don't know how lucky you are with your cheap dollars and ability to return broken stuff.
>>
>>6074702

Norn Iron fag here.
I know them feels dude. I paid £55 for mutavore(though he was worth it), £80 for otachi and £80 for the queen.
I can't find scarface anywhere for less than £26. And god knows when we will start seeing the gorilla and mantis alien.
Can't believe Americans get this stuff for like $20, we pay roughly $32 for the same thing.

Where do you normally buy your neca stuff?
>>
>>6074726
Local independent toy shops. Standard figures used to be £19.99 but some time in the last few months they've jumped to £24.99, they're still worth it but it's never good when prices go up that drastically.

Forbidden Planet is also an option but everything is typically £5 more expensive in there.

I managed to get the alien queen for £70 on Amazon, great price for such a massive piece. I'm still waiting for price drops on the power loader, I wouldn't pay much more than £30-40 for it to be honest.
>>
>>6073361
Thanks anon, I'm excited to get my hands on her since I used to main a forsaken warlock.
>>
>>6074726
They are getting more expensive for us too .. From 19.99 to 21.99 to 24.99.... I think the new kenner ones are 21.99 .. So that may not be the trend .... And I had to pay 125 for my queen and that was as cheap as I could find it
>>
>>6074760

The standard release figures are still $21.99, though it looks like they may be going up to $22.99 soon. The $25 ones are generally the ultimate figures and deluxes.

Also, for those UK bros, our specialty shops in the US mark them up heavily too. TRU is usually the best place to buy them, strangely enough, but independent toy shops/comic shops often increase them by a lot.
>>
>>6074700
And what you think is wrong for a toy doesn't mean you're right either. There's a reason you're not in charge of anything. A very good reason.
>>
>>6074700

Fuck off about profit margins. The figures wouldn't have happened if they redid the whole things, there has to be reuse.
>>
>>6063483
I just got vasquez she's pretty cool
>>
>>6074860
I never said it was "wrong," I said it was a downgrade. It's certainly not an upgrade and a lateral move at best.
>>
>>6074864
>The figures wouldn't have happened if they redid the whole things

AVP Predators are completely new and they happened. Besides, the overlays, heads, hands, feet and accessories would be reuse anyway.
>>
>>6075035
Wrong dumbfuck. The AvP figures HAD to be ew molds, the jungle and city only needed some new parts. I'd like to see you pay for all the shit you think they can just do on a whim.
>>
>>6075064
>The AvP figures HAD to be ew molds, the jungle and city only needed some new parts.

We just said the same thing, so I'm not sure why you think anything in that post is "wrong."

Any word on the Preacher figures?
Have they fixed Cassidy's head sculpt?
Do we have a release date?

I got my gorilla and mantis ordered and I can't wait ! I also picked up a pressure suit engineer from Amazon for 10.25 .... I figured it's good to have at least one of those guys

What do you guys think of the Ghost Predator? Is it cooler in person?
Thinking of getting it to add a little color to my collection.
>>
>>6078076

When I first saw this wave, I passed on him, but later I went back and ended up getting him anyway.

I'd say he's the kind of surprising figure of the wave. Everyone was super looking forward to Spike Tail and Stalker, and Ghost was a "literal who."

I think he's pretty nice, and I actually have him with my Blade Fighter. He also comes with more accessories than I thought he was going to (has the Removable helmet, removable backpack, extended combi-spear, smart disk, and the short-sword that came with the original Lost/Borg Predator.) so he's got a lot of neat stuff.

I was pleasantly surprised by him, but I can see how he might not be super exciting to some people, since he's just kind of a stock Predator with a relatively plain looking color scheme.
>>
>>6078076
You want an almost colorless Predator to add color to your collection?

Why not a colorful one?

That was the idea actually, between red, brown and yellow predators i felt a white one would catch the eye, was originally considering Shaman, but Ghost seem to have better articulation, so there's that.

Shouldn't the xenomorph skull's dome be incomplete?

Or am I not well versed enough in xenomorph physiology?

it's a matter of design.

Chap and Isolation xenos are the ones that have the human skull elements on it.

It's a warriors skull they don't have domes or eye sockets like drones do

Also based off the predator 2 skull which itself has some inconsistencies.
