The only thing I've heard people complain about is Eligos the demon, who seems to be lacking proper articulation in his elbows, we don't know anything for sure yet though.

Ash has double jointed elbows so that more than makes up for it in my opinion.

A welcome improvement.

Double jointed elbows means they can actually look at their wrist computers. Another thing people don't mention often is how sturdy they are, they're much higher quality than the older bodies, you'd have to try really hard to break the limbs on these guys.
>>
>>5584076
How are the hips? The hips on my battle armor borg pred got really loose really quickly.
>>
>>5584079
>The hips on my battle armor borg pred got really loose really quickly.

I have both Borgs, and both of them were loose right out of the box. I had to stuff their crotches with blu-tac and paper to stop their hips from moving on their own. I think that was just a bad batch of figures to be honest, a lot of people have this issue with Borg, which sucks cause he's one of the best designs.

The AvP preds are really solid. In fact they're a bit stiffer than I'd like them to be, but better stiff than loose, right?
>>
>>5584087
Ah, good to know I'm not the only one who had that issue. Agreed, gorgeous design but those hips...

And double agreed. Stiffness is easier to deal with than looseness.
>>
>>5584087
>>5584092

Borg is the only predator I have that has super loose hips. I think it was just an issue with that particular figure, especially.
>>
>>5583899

They're fine, but they don't have as much of a deep tilt movement to them as I'd like. Still, Kratos is a ridiculously well done toy, and well worth picking up regardless.

I finished Crysis 2 today.
Forgot how shit the last 'boss' was, if you can even call it that.
Still, Crysis is probably my favourite game from the past decade, I never get tired of playing it. Probably cause it's like being a predator :^)

I would have loved some Ceph and C.E.L.L soldier figures from Neca, it's a shame they only made Alcatraz. He's a great figure, you wouldn't expect this level of articulation from a 5 year old Neca figure.
>>
>>5584101
Crysis is probably the best example of how I'd want a modern Predator game to play.

>>5584130
>>5584158
AvP2010 wasn't that bad, but having three different game modes felt like each character's story was watered down.

Multiplayer was really fun before it went dead. Predators were OP as fuck.
>>
>>5584164
Yeah, but I'd much rather have a full game like Concrete Jungle, but in first person and with more modern graphics and controls.

Speaking of Concrete Jungle, did anyone else order the Scarface figure?

Heh, that figures.

The alien queen was priced at £100 here, thankfully I managed to get her for £70. The pricing difference really sucks for bigger purchases.
>>
>>5584223
The hip joints are stiff as hell, but the peg they're mounted on is super gummy so they often flex outward from the peg instead of actually rotating. It's a little worrying but mostly floppy. Also the ankles have great range, but they're super loose on mine, so I've usually got him on a stand a la the first pic.

I'm starting to wonder the same thing.

Probably an imminent delay. I don't really think too many people are super excited about this wave though, to be honest.
>>
>>5584310
Who the fuck wouldn't be excited for the wave? The AvP preds are far and away Neca's best work.

>>5584289
>reuse on Vasquez

Lol. Vasquez isn't coming with a smart gun. This is their way to sell more Ripley's.
>>
>>5584312

The body is nice, absolutely.

However, this batch is barely any different from the last, two figures are literal background characters who appear for about 30 seconds each, and one is just Scar with a mask.

Most people already seemed to have a "pick and choose their favorite" mentality out of wave 14, so...

I mean, I'm planning on getting all three for sure, but so far the AvP figures all look nearly identical. I'm not saying that's NECA's fault, it is just the nature of Predator designs for that movie, but it makes for slightly bland looking toys.

Most people are looking forward to other figures using that body like Scarface and the Kenner Clan leader.

Bye bye NECA
>>
>>5584367

Looks like shit. Now get out of the thread.
>>
So I just bought a bootleg NECA (for customizing purposes). Is there anything I need to be careful about? I've heard stuff about figures being painted with lead or some such so I was just wondering.
>>
>>5584387
Which did you buy?

I haven't heard anything about lead paint before. I recently bought a Big Red Predator and aside from some minor stuff (sheathe was unglued, wrist blade was backwards, lower knee joints and waist were paint fused but some heat and movement freed it up) he's very solid. I don't know how you would be able to tell if the paint was lead-based or not, it looks pretty normal (other than the leg paint being kinda sloppy I guess) and it doesn't smell weird or anything?

Someone else said it's possible or likely that the bootlegs aren't really "bootlegs" but are factory QC rejects or something. Which is possible!

Apparently the older Dutch and Jungle Hunter bootlegs can be spotty or even trash but my Big Red is good, and I assume City Hunter is too. Holding out for them to make Wasp next.

>>
>>5584326
Yeah, once I heard Scarface and Clan Leader used the AVP bodies I skipped out entirely. I'd pick up one of them if I could somehow combine several of their distinct elements (I like the long wrist blades from Chopper and the unmasked head on Scar, etc.) but that's not gonna happen without buying all of them, and screw that.

I might get the Temple Warrior, he has a good load out and I like his head the best. I think Masked Scar probably should've been in the last wave and done Unmasked in this one, but at this point there's no excuse not to have had both heads in one box.
>>
>>5584168
I did! He looks killer. I wish he came with like one more weapon from the game, but oh well.

>>5584423
Advocating bootlegs no less!

>>5584417

I just got my 1st predator figure. My only previous Neca figures are Otachi and Big Chap. I try not to buy online because I would buy way too many and I don't have a lot of money right now. I stick to buying from what my local Toys R us has. Really feel like I missed out not picking up the red xeno I saw.

Anyway, the Toys R us just had a full stock of the AVP predators, and I picked this guy up (they had a full stock of the alien isolation figures too, but I already have big chap, and I dislike that dome) He's really great.

Does Scar not come with spear extenders though?

I don't own any NECA preds as of right now, and I didnt wanna get sucked into wanting to buy every release of another line, so I told myself I'll just get Scarface predator if they ever do it
I don't really like how they did his scar on his face though, hopefully it looks better in person.

God, I can't decide if I love or hate the look of this. On one hand, love the colors and proportions. On the other hand, the plastic looks weirdly gummy and soft...kinda like he's made of the same gummi material as Gushers. The sculpt looks a little mushy too as a result.

The panel lining is also confusingly sloppy. Lots of pooling wash in crevices (like on the top of the head) and a generally incomplete look all around. Maybe this is technically more realistic than the clean, even panel lines people do on Gundams, but it looks rather shit. unfortunately.

Anyone interested in getting these?

I'll probably buy the APC and dropship, I'm not too hyped for any of the others.

Randy seems to really want this line to work, so hopefully it'll expand with other iconic vehicles from other franchises they haven't touched upon yet. It's kinda hard for them to re-use the same sculpt like they do with Aliens/Predators so who knows if it'll take off or bomb.

On a related note, I know George Miller is an asshat when it comes to letting companies make Mad Max figures, but I'm hoping he'll allow Neca to make some vehicles like the Interceptor and the Gigahorse from Fury Road.

I'm not saying it's a bad wave, but it's not exactly as fresh and exciting as wave 14 was though is it? If I wasn't such a completionist I'd probably skip Temple Guard and Warrior, I do like the rusty armor on the latter though, so he is probably my most anticipated figure from wave 15.

Fuck off. Buy toys if they look cool. I skipped the entire Wave 13 because the guys in 14 looked cooler, and fuck that movie anyway. The Predators looked like football players wearing ducking shoulderpads.

According to Randy, comes out in may and ships latter this month from china, [spoiler]just like the stands[/spoiler].

I don't mind delays, they're comfy. However I'm pretty sure one of the reasons it was delayed that long was because they were trying to figure things like the packaging size and if it'll include a stand because there's no fucking way it can stand on it's own.
See how thighly packed it looks compared to Otachi and Axehead, maybe they reduced the size of the box so more retailers are willing to carry it in the hope to increase sales and pave the way for hardship.

>See how thighly packed it looks compared to Otachi and Axehead, maybe they reduced the size of the box so more retailers are willing to carry it in the hope to increase sales and pave the way for hardship.

Otachi had to be packaged in a large box just because it was actually big. Axehead was in a reasonably sized box as well.

The only major retailer that carries these things, not counting little comic shops and whatever, is TRU. And I've yet to see any TRUs not actually carry these big ass Kaiju. I doubt this one will be any different.

As far as the stands go, that's some really weird logic thinking that this figure coinciding with the stands is on purpose. Those stands are basically the size of the Tamashi or Figma stands. They're for smaller figures, and will be fine for NECA's 7" stuff, but there's no way in hell one of those would support this big, beefy monster.

He took the parts where the blades retract, glued them onto a wooden skewer and called it a 'custom spear'.
And instead of giving him actual gripping hands, he drilled holes in the closed fists that come with Chopper.
Also I didn't realise until now but it looks like he cut the dreadlocks.
What's really annoying is this guy has butchered his figure and somehow managed to make back most of his money from selling the accessories alone.

>>5592644
Predators was work of art compared to AvP.

The predator designs were unique, there was a decent variety in the cast (Walton Goggins and Topher Grace were great) and the plot wasn't completely retarded like having one xeno take down 2/3 predators in the span of five minutes so the last one could become a mary sue.
>>
>>5592693
Predators is a real solid watch. I honestly like it a lot more than Predator 2; Predators feels like a real sequel to the original movie whereas Predator 2 is a Robocop movie with a Predator in it.
>>
>>5592779
>Predators feels like a real sequel to the original movie whereas Predator 2 is a Robocop movie with a Predator in it.

I feel like Predators is kind of a rehash in that sense though.

Danny Glover, Gary Busey, Bill Paxton, the cheesy dialogue, the violent L.A setting, cool new predator weapons, all that good stuff.
Predator 2 was a fresh approach and a great sequel.
The part where the predator is toying with Harrigan in the cemetery was such a memorable scene for me, it showed how sadistic the predators can be.

I don't think Neca has the rights to Conan anymore, unless they have the right to make any Arnie character they want, I could be mistaken.
Even if they could, after the less than spectacular sales of the original Conan figures I can't see them revisiting it, sadly.

>>5592644
Predators was purty good tho. Only issue I had with it was one Predator went out like a punk cuz Mr. Russia had grenades. I'd expect a Predator to be smarter than that.

But the sword fight was dope as fuck though.
>>
>>5592887
Well the original Conan figures were fucking statues though. Making "ultimate" conan with the sword, axe, giant as fuck throwing axe, armor set etc etc etc etc would be a great seller.

Gladiator conan - helmet, sword, shield, axes, etc
Final Battle conan - mentioned above
Adventurer Conan - him runnin' around with Subotai, like in the Tower of Set
Speaking of, including Valeria, Subotai, Thorgrim, Thulsa Doom, Rexxor, and shit, maybe his dad too. Make that shit worth buying, and people will eat it up.

>>
>>5593080
Well, watch Predator 2.

It's very clearly Robocop/Verhoeven influenced. It takes place in the future (1997), it's in a city, there's a massive gang war, the violence, profanity and nudity are amped way up, there's even Robocop/Starship Troopers style news cutaways with "media satire" bent. It literally feels like a Verhoeven ajace Predator movie.

And I mean, that's by no means bad. It's a fun watch on any day of the week. But it's very clearly a different movie than Predator 1.
>>
>>5593137

I kind of like that the Predator movies all did their own thing.

I mean, the only thing that connects P2 to P1 is a line of dialogue. Same thing for Predators to P1. They do well as their own stand-alone Predator movies, without having to bridge gaps to each other, which works fine.

I think the Predators were actually pretty cool in every movie so far, but the AvP preds were pretty lame. I think NECA actually did a pretty good job of making them look badass in toy form. Most people hate the stocky, football-linebacker look they had in AvP (so did I) and NECA specifically went out of their way to avoid the toys looking like that, which I think a lot of people don't really realize.

Went to Brighton today and bought an AVP Alien Warrior. I rather like him, and he goes well with my Aliens warrior.

The sculpt is fantastic, and the paint is so much better than on the Aliens warrior it's not even funny. Dat dome, man. The tail is really impressive too. That said, he isn't perfect. Out of the package one of the knees was stuck and one of his shins was warped. Nothing hot water couldn't fix, but I shouldn't really be having to fix a supposed collector's item. The torso balljoint only moves so far in one particular direction, which is weird, and I dare not dunk the whole thing in hot water. Also, the hip articulation is really weird- moving one leg moves the other.along with it unless you hold it still. Seems kind of a weird design choice. I also really, really wish it had a waist joint and a joint at the base of the neck- if it had those I'd say the articulation would be perfect. Still, a fun toy and not a purchase I regret. I love the AVP design even if the movie was shit.

The store had a lot of NECA Alien/Predator stuff actually. They had the power loader (which I really, really wish I had the space/money to buy), the 1/4 scale Alien (which looks absolutely gorgeous, though seeing it in person I maintain the lips look kinda weird), the game colours Dog Alien, the Chopper Predator and a Pred I can't remember the name of (don't know much about Predator DESU, still need to watch the movies), Ripley in a space suit, Grid and the white Big Chap, along with some others I can't remember. The white Big Chap was really pegwarming actually, at least compared to the others.

If they make the mantis alien in a translucent green plastic with a silver wash I'd be pretty sold on it to be honest. They should be adding a lot of extra spikes and stuff to make it look like more than just a repaint though, and obviously it's going to need new arms from the elbow onwards.

Some of the Kenner stuff (like Renegade predator) works as straight up repaints, but I think overall they're going to have to put a lot more sculpting work into the aliens if they want them to be hot sellers.

If the panther alien is just a straight up dog alien repaint (personally I can't see how it could be) I'll be pretty disappointed.

The panther is a lot more streamlined than the dog alien, it's going to need a lot more articulation to get into that quadrupedal pose.

I fucking love the Mantis Alien. I got one at a con for £8 and he's just 2qt. If NECA does do a Mantis Alien I hope they retool as much as possible, even if it is partially based on existing tooling. The head and torso I guess I'd be alright with being shared with the Warrior but I'll be pretty pissed if he doesn't have digitigrade legs and that daft bug butt with those pointless wings. The claws I hope are a given.

For what it's worth, a piece of shit he may be but Jin's Mantis Alien is pretty cool.

They could do a Praetorian variant with wings.

Also of note, virtually every new mould in the Alien and Predator lines gets a repaint, look at Cracked Tusk and Lava Planet or Nightstorm and Scavage. So any Aliens will likely get repainted later.
>>
>>5597806
>look at Cracked Tusk and Lava Planet or Nightstorm and Scavage.

Those weren't new molds, though.

Cracked Tusk and Lava planet were just the City Hunter body with a new mask and gauntlet blade setup.

Nightstorm and Scavage were just the Super Predator body with the new mask, staff, and some altered armor parts.

Hopefully that won't be the case since the Hive Wars aliens would be better suited to a straight repaint of the the dog alien(maybe a new head).

However, I don't think it would take too much tweaking of the dog alien parts to make a decent Panther alien. New legs and a head would go a long way.
>>
>>5597469
Is it cool? I'm debating getting getting one. I'm definitely waiting on the next series to get a regular dog alien.

>>5597833
No, they weren't entirely new moulds, but they were new parts. They're very likely to get repaints in any case, the original line is full of them.

>>5597854
I actually think their streamlined legs makes them look more like the AVP Xenos

I'm with Randy, I absolutely hated the way the Preds looked in AVP. The design is cool enough but the execution is such shit, they look like football players, you can see the suits flopping around the actors like shoulder pads and shit. Something about how NECA did them managed to get rid of that though and make them more in line with classic Pred designs though

I wish that the designs were more variable though. I only want one out of waves 14/15 because of how damn samey they all look (and Chopper having closed fists with no alternates in 2016 is inexcusable)

I've been with my girl for 6 years and we still have separate bank accounts, we aren't married either.
I don't see any advantage to having a shared account, especially if having one runs the risk of me getting fucked over should our relationship go south.
To be honest, you'd have to be an idiot to get married in 2016 with all this third wave feminism bullshit flying around.

I think they'll probably use a few different Aliens depending on whatever. The first Kenner Preds all used one of the three main Pred bodies (Jungle, City Hunter and the Super Preds from Predators 2010) so I don't see why we wouldn't see at least 4 different versions

> Big Chap/Isolation Xeno
> Warrior
> Dog Alien
> AVP

So it just becomes a matter of which aliens are the easiest to redo and most iconic. I think Scorpion Alien is a lock, probably Mantis, and probably Panther for the first wave.

Looks pretty good, it's just me or the cape is made of cloth?
>>
>>5607273

It's cloth, I think they confirmed they were doing that on Twitter.
>>
>>5607305
Nice, cloth is always better than plastic when it comes to capes, see for example how shitty the dmc coat looks. You know what would be great? if they actually insert some bendy wire in the linning of the cape to make it poseable.

I just started collecting the Predators line. Picked up Jungle and City when they first came out - thought they were too cool to pass up, but then I sat out for a while. Then I saw fucking Chopper at my TRU, and snagged him. Packaging was shit but he was complete, and now I have Celtic, masked Scar on pre-order, and have Broken Tusk, Scavage, Renegade and Hive Wars Warrior on the way. If they re-release an updated Wolf, I'd get him too - having tons of fun with the SH MonsterArts Wolf.
>>
>>5607644
Forgot to mention I have Big Red as well. Samurai Predator was just too fucking awesome.
>>
>>5593137
No, I mean a real fucking "Dead or alive, you're coming with me" Robocop vs Predator would be god damn amazing to watch.
>>
>>5593528
You don't know the depths of anger I felt when I saw Chopper die without so much as a single Alien kill. Those giant arm blades were wasted.

Anyway, I magnetized my totems so they stay on.
>>
>>5607644
You mean Cracked Tusk. Broken Tusk is a specific other character, from the AVP comics. I know, it's confusing, but a lot of Predators end up with similar names--there are two Stalkers (one from the Lost Tribe and one from the Kenner Preds), two guys named Wolf, Scar from AVP and Scarface from Concrete Jungle, etc.

AVPR Wolf should be next year.

>>5607645
Did you just buy him on eBay for $25? Because those are possible rejects/bootlegs. I have one myself and it's not too bad, the paint fused a few joints and I had to mess with them and also glue his sheathe together but I would recommend it.
>>
>>5607691
Yeah, Cracked Tusk, my bad. And nah I've had Big Red for a while, got him at my local TRU some time ago.
>>
>>5607691
Also, there are a few I've been passing up simply because they are so cartoony or garish, like some of the Kenner preds. But on the flip side, some of the other preds are just so generic looking, like Ghost or some of the other Predators line. But then you have the AVP ones, who are just cool as fuckall.
>>
>>5607710
I can't get enough ridiculous garish Preds. I love Lava Planet Predator.

Sometimes I think the more generic guys like Ghost are there to nab the occasional guy who is like "I just want a regular Predator like from the movies," and aren't going to shell out $80 for a Jungle Hunter
>>
>>5607187
I think he's going to be an individual deluxe release like Bad Blood or the Dark Horse comic Predator.
>>
Just picked up a Falconer and the maskless Wolf from AVPR with the Trophy rack for 120AUD. Pretty happy with that

Falconer is great, my favourite super predator from the film.
The right leg on mine seems to be permanently stuck though.
I've tried boiling it a few times and it still won't budge. I'm worried it'll break if I force it cause the wave 1-3 predators are known for being fragile.
Be careful with yours anon.

>And speaking of kenner aliens, you guys think they would retool again the aliens warrior for the main body?

I'm hoping for a new warrior body in general as part of their Aliens day/Aliens anniversary stuff.

The one we got was great, but is clearly rung lower than the dog alien and AvP xeno.
>>
>>5607187
There were the generic guys outside the mothership that carried Scar off. But there is only one look for them, so at best that gives us one more pred.

Battle-damaged Chopper is an option (hole through his chest from impailment).
>>
>>5608308
I'd be very surprised if they managed to squeeze out another predator wave based on AvP.

Wave 15 seems like the bottom of the barrel to me, so the Elder should be a standalone deluxe release.
>>
Although saying that, we're inevitably due a cloaked variant of Scar or possible Celtic.
>>
>>5608319
But the tweet clearly says "Series 17 photoshoot" and has a bunch of AvP preds
>>
>>5608320
Cloaked preds sell like shit, but I guess we do need someone cloaked on the AvP body.
>>
>>5608394
I guess it could be all new predators, but I was under the impression it was Scar, Celtic, Chopper, Warrior, Temple Guard and masked Scar standing behind Elder.

Realistically, who could they be? Warrior and Temple Guard were already a stretch, who else could they possibly pull from the film without making scene specific variants like >>5608308 said. We're already getting battle damaged Celtic in this years 2-pack.

>>5608396
Honestly hoping this years SDCC exclusive will be cloaked Scar so I can gladly skip it.
>>
Ancient Elder looks like he is wearing a mask. Swappable heads?
>>
So who's making the new thread. I got them Hateful 8 Sam Jackson photos to share.
>>
>>5608554
I'd make it but I'm banned for posting a pic of Kim Dickens' ass and we really don't need another image.jpg thread.
