New NECA thread: Impatient for the Ancient edition.
New survey: do multicolored Xenos in your collection bother you?
mixed feelings on cartoon colored xenos. they bother me because they disrupt the movie vibe but they add a little variety.
>>5851988
>do multicolored Xenos in your collection bother you?
Fuck no, I want them all now.
haven't bought anything neca in months. any new ultimates or preds in UK?
The Contra figures are out on the NECA store.
Definitely picking those up.
Fucking. WHEN?
Does he only come out at the end of August?
This wait has been killing me
>>5852325
I thought October. Can anyone confirm this?
>>5852378
bbts says August, but it's still under pre-order
>>5852440
Neca's site says October, are those guys usually reliable?
>>5852444
that's when they plan to send it out, it can take longer
>>5851988
>do multicolored Xenos in your collection bother you
Nope. Can't wait to finish my xeno sentai team
>>5851988
Can't afford so many Xenos so i only buy the film ones, but i find the colorful ones awesome.
>>5852040
Anyone knows the story behind the yellow one?
That's the head of the Requiem Xeno Warrior if i'm not mistaken.
>>5852325
Can't fucking wait for that one too, being wanting one for years now.
Ordered Hardship and Contra, should be here next week.
>>5852505
Yellow xeno is the pizza alien from the 80s tmnt cartoon
Handy was being coy about that. Probably wont see retail as he said some xenos were just for fun, but not to rule anything out.
>>5853072
*Handy? Stupid typo.
Randy.
>they actually came out with a Ripley
>I fucking missed it
Of course I did. I really need to keep better track of releases, since she was probably readily available for months.
Stolen from Twitter. Looks like that LED is mighty bright in Gipsy's chest.
>>5853097
About 5 different Ripleys actually.
>>5853097
Shes still pretty easy to get ahold of
>>5853227
Yeah, I realized that after posting, I'm mainly referring to the series 5 Ripley.
>>5852082
Can you link it. I'm clearly too stupid to find it.
>>5853236
Yeah, but I'm really anal about not paying more than MSRP for toys.
I've seen her a few places for 35ish, I'm honestly kind of tempted but by the time I make a decision they'll probably be gone.
>>5853255
Nvm found it through facebook.
>>5853258
>$30 shipping to canada.
JUST
>>5853209
nice! getting mine tomorrow!
>>5853256
I'd wait just a bit. The San Diego Comic Con exclusive Newt is going to be re-released sometime soon in a different format. We should know next week. If you're lucky, maybe it will be a two pack that includes Ripley. But it could be something else entirely.
>>5853256
I get ya, but if anything she will be going up even more later down the line
I got a quick couple questions. is the leg armor on the Colonial Marines sculpted on or is it just a piece thats glued on? and does anyone have a pick of one of the marines with the armor and stuff removed?
>>5852033
There's a really neat chinese import that I wish I had gotten. I prefer the paint job much more than their Genocide red one.
Glow in the dark Xeno finally got a release date. TRU exclusive in early October.
>>5853601
There's a pic like that floating around Fwoosh. I'd have to dig for it. But the pieces are glued on I believe...the knee pads are anyway, I thiiiink the shin guards are sculpted.
>>5853072
Fuck. The minute I saw that yellow Xeno I wanted it.
>>5853209
Poor Crimson. No 1/4 love, no Ultimate Edition.
>>5854020
And he needed an Ultimate way more than Gipsy did. Plus Gipsy got 2 1/4 figures.
>>5852505
Does Dog Alien stand well?
I want to get one, but those legs make me worried about posing without a stand.
>>5854341
She comes with a stand
>>5853790
Its the same, except the bootleg has a much heavier black wash.
>>5853209
Just picked it up today. The light is very nice. It's nice to Finally a gypsy that can fucking stand up for more than a few days.
The new hips are very appreciated and actually allow the legs to be posed.
All of the ones I seen had mishapend reactor holes, to fix just heat up the area and stick the fire blast effect in and let it cool to the proper circular shape.
So I just picked up the Ultimate Edition Gipsy Danger kind of on a whim, I saw two dog xenos and still feel like I'm going to regret walking away from them even though I have one coming in the mail but I digress. Straight out of the box both of Gipsy's elbow joints were broken in two, I mean the bit that the post goes through not what the ball joint is connected to so I was wondering if anyone has had the same issues with this figure or if this kind of shit QC is a problem with the other Jeager figures?
>>5855035
Cool. Are there new ankles too or just hips?
>>5855096
It was a pretty easy fix, and I have everything mocing with way it should, but I'm glad it's not typical thanks anon.
>>5855035
New hips and feet from what I can tell looking at him next to the last release of gypsy.
Stoled from fwoosh.
>>5855035
is this the exact same figure as the 2.0 gypsy?
>>5855979
This figure could be a good mod base for Billy from Predator.
>>5856046
Sculpturally, yes. But it's got new bits, namely the hips. Which were also used on the Battle at the Docks Lootcrate Gipsy.
>>5853800
Fuck yes. I need a radioactive Xeno in my life.
>>5856046
Essentially, yes.
With the exception of Improved leg articulation and light up reactor and accessories.
>>5856092
I wish NECA would make the rest of the crew from Predator.
Looking to get this warrior. I've heard of breakage amongst a few of the older series.
Can you guys help a nigger out?
They should re-release some old Cult Classic figures.
I want a Frank the Bunny figure without paying through the nose.
Where can I get Ultimate Gipsy online? It's not available yet on Amazon.
>>5856421
It was in stock on TRU.com.
>>5856421
I got one from bbts. She was in stock at proper amazon though, they had a preorder for the 16th or so but it sold out. Maybe they'll have extras around then.
>>5856432
Thanks mate, just ordered it
>free shipping
Fucking sweet.
Hardship owns.
>>5856461
God, I wanna get him so bad, but for 60 bucks he'd better be damned perfect.
>>5856482
Think of it this way: he's larger and heftier than almost any Monsterarts figures, and he cost less than one, now, too.
>NECA figures are $30 a piece here now
>basically costs me a little over $100 to buy 3 figures when tax is taken into account
GG canada
>>5856386
Would this warrior break on me if I were to get It?
>>5856489
>Buy superior nippon toys
>Most cost over $100 to get a single figure
Could be worse
Why is Randy such a dick on Twitter?
>>5856669
Its amazing how lack of punctuation can make one seem, also he answers so much a day and sees so many repeat questions that I kind of get it.
9 times out of 10 if Randy is being a dick on Twitter it's because some fuckwit is being antagonistic to begin with.
>>5857311
This. People are incredibly rude on Twitter towards him.
>>5853800
I'm hyped, gitd toys are awesome!
>>5856384
Carl Weathers refuses to license out his shit to NECA (Apollo Creed comes with the Rocky license, Predator doesn't come with any likenesses) and judging by the Hot Toys release Billy probably doesn't either
I like these dudes in the movie but I'm not buying Shane Black or the other boring white guy. I want a Jesse Ventura though; has Mattel done him recently?
>>5855978
When is BBTS getting these? I have a preorder
>>5857569
Pretty sure we'll never get a a Blaine figure, due to Ventura being a colossal cunt.
>>5856669
Because he deals with assholes bitching about everything. I have never seen him be a dick to someone for no reason.
>>5857723
Here's a good example of said assholes.
>>5857721
sup rands; expand your tastes so we get cool figures such as armored bats from bvs or tekken figs
how about robot jox toys
>>5857814
It's kind of sad that you would think any of that is good.
>>5857814
>taste
>BvS
Pick one
>>5856461
Nice. Hardship looks awesome, but much bigger than I recall in the movie.
Also, if the Nanosuit anon sees this, the old ToyBiz Mr.X has a pretty nice trench coat and boots for your Nanosuit.
>>5857856
dont tell me what to do
>>5858210
Hes only in it for all of 3 seconds but I also have romeo at an angle. Same size as Mutavore.
>>5858265
One more
OAN... If gorilla and mantis do well. I cant wait to see what other ones they'll do.
Finger AND toes crossed!
You best be reading this Randy, you ol Bitch Ass Nigger of a Neck Beard!!!
How is Utimate Kratos?
>>5859005
Consensus is that everyone likes him however some figures had shown to have two left hands (or it may have been feet) so look out for that.
>>5859021
I haven't seen that issue at all. Not saying it doesn't happen, but that's just another of those one in a thousand things.
>>5859005
Excellent figure. Well worth grabbing, and definitely do so before it becomes a pain in the ass to get. The only problem I can say I have with it is that the ankles don't have the extreme range of motion that I'd like to see.
>>5859005
He's great. I modded mine with some extra chains I had. The only thing I'd complain about is that his shoulder pauldron is a little too light of a gold color for me. The gold on his shin guards are just the right color, but it doesn't match to the pauldron.
>>5856492
Collecting transformers sucks. I know these feels all too well.
>>5859598
I wish I could stand Kratos as a character, because that figure is gorgeous
I want NECA to get the rights to IT so we can get a classic Tim Curry Pennywise. I'd but the reboot one too, even though I'm not too hot on the design. Theyve said IT is "too niche" but everyone knows IT, c'mon.
If they did Pennywise it'd probably be one of their retro styled figures because of the baggy clown clothes wouldn't work well as a sculpted figure, but I'd rather have a figure that'd be in scale with my other horror guys.
>They did 2 Carrie remake figures
>We probably won't get 1 Pennywise
I fucking hope it doesn't end up like this.
>>5860068
There being a new movie could up the chances of them doing a classic figure. It'd at least be in the public eye for a bit then.
As for Carrie, that was part of their tween market. The group that did the Twilight and Hunger Games figures did the Carrie one.
>>5860068
Did you post something along these lines to Randy's Twitter earlier today?
>>5860068
>IT is too niche
But they literally just released a fucking Captain Spaulding figure.
Also, I miss the NECA that made the Cult Classics.
So fucking tired of Predators and Pacific Rimmers.
Someone repainted the Arcade Turtles.
Pretty neato.
>>5860283
>So fucking tired of Predators and Pacific Rimmers.
Well, that's what sells. It's a volatile market these days, unfortunately.
>>5860437
That's just the one that Hardship and Mutavore come with.
>>5860339
Almost cartoon perfect.
Best TMNT so far?
>>5860253
Noo, I was hoping someone else did.
>>5860283
>I miss the NECA that made the Cult Classics
I do too. It'd be my dream line if they redid all those figures and more with updated articulation, that's why I'm so excited for pic related. It's just nowadays, especially with the money it costs to have that articulation, it's not profitable to make figures from niche horror movies. Just the big guys like Freddy, Jason, Leatherface, Chucky.
That's what's cool about the retro cloth line, they're cheaper to make so it's better financially to take a risk with them, like the Captain Spaulding they're doing or the Friday the 13th Part V Roy, or Chop Top from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.
Unfortunately theyre dolls with baggy awkward looking cloths and not in scale with the other horror figures.
So this is happening. Newt, Ridley with a new headsculpt, and a little flame effect part for her flamethrower.
>>5861324
Welp, i'm getting it, the new head sculpt actually looks pretty good, and it's my only chance of grabbing a Newt too.
>>5861381
>>5861383
>>5861381
Don't really want a second ripley, but at least when I finally pick up the power loader I can have one manning that.
>>5861324
>https://twitter.com/NECA_TOYS/status/765924808466898944
The flame effect looks like shit.
>>5860781
>Best TMNT so far?
So far, definitely. I own a bunch of TMNT figures and the Arcade Turtles are definitely my favorite so far.
However, the Figuarts Turtles look like they could edge them out for 1st place in my collection as top turtles. Especially since we're getting a better Shredder and a possible Kasey Jones, Foot Soldier, Splinter, and (hopefully) April.
You knoe who needs a NECA?
>>5861402
Looks great to me.
>>5861381
Oh man that new Ripley headsculpt is awful
Now to decide if I really need a useless third Aliens Ripley
>>5861416
It looks like a translucent cheeto
>>5861420
So does your dick, but we don't shame you for it.
>>5861421
But you just did.
>>5861424
I said it with a loving touch. Honest.
Damn we had a good run before NECAnon showed up to be a bitch again
>>5861426
Now give his translucent orange dick a loving touch.
Go on.
Do it.
>>5861429
Nobody is necanon, goddamn. You really can't abide people talking can you?
>>5861397
Half-ass flame effect looks utter garbage.
Even this SHF effect piece looks way better than that.
>>5861435
Is there a translucent dick fetish?
>>5861419
Huh, i actually think this one is waaay better than the 'ho hum its aliens oh no' Steven Wright looking face.
>>5861404
where is your mention of krang!!!!!!!!
>>5861381
>the new head sculpt actually looks pretty good
>>5861443
M-maybe
So you gonna touch his translucent dick or not?
>>5861472
I agree. I mean, I like the face on the regular figure too, but I think this works well for the scene.
Frankly the whole set is exciting to me. I'm stoked more people can get Newt now, and they kept the sdcc one unique with her accessories, but also doing something different with the Ripley too.
I need to buy more eggs now, too, I think.
>>5861481
Yes, and?
>>5861408
NECA tried, Universal or whoever owns ET won't allow it.
>>5861475
Already have First Gokin Krang. Can't see Figuarts doing too much of an improvement over that. Plus, I was never that big a fan of him anyway. I really just want a good Shredder, Foot Soldier, April, and Splinter to go along with the turtles. Long shot, but I'd also love to get Spike,
>>5861481
I like it.
>>5861487
>>5861498
Okay? That's Sigourney Weaver all right.
>>5861504
On what planet?
When is NECA finally going to move forward into the 90s?
>>5861498
This looks like a Steve Dillon drawing of someone rather than an actual person. The expression, the teeth, classic Dillon.
>>5861513
That would be great. I'd love for them to do Starship Troopers and Men in Black.
>>5861510
So you're trolling for an argument. Okay.
>>5861510
LV-426.
>>5861532
Fuck yeah. Imagine a queen-style deluxe Edgar. I'd buy that!
>>5855035
How much articulation is impacted by the LED?
I don't know how much there was to begin with, since all I have is a wave 1 Danger
Finally satisfied with buying another now, but which version is the quest?
The lootcrate exclusive has elbow rocket and shippingcrate brawling action -- but I only have Knifehead Deluxe to display him with, so that wouldn't make much sense.
Do you think they'll ever do another Leatherback?
>>5861533
> people who want me to elaborate further on my opinions in a thread about toy opinions are trolls
Great poster you are, anon. Thanks for the insight, opinions, and discussion.
>>5861573
Ult Gipsy looks to be the best one, License is done, so no to leatherback.
>>5861639
That's not how people talk when they're trying to hold a conversation.
>>5861532
Goddamn, an arachnid and Johnny Rico in Neca scale would be GLORIOUS.
>>5861666
It is on a casual toy discussion forum. Come on. Look at where you are.
Whelp, pre-ordered Gorilla-morph and Bukkakke-morph off BBTS. Gorilla was my first Kenner Alien as a kid and Albino-Xeno is just too fun to pass up.
Anyone else preorder these or the upcoming Mantis and Queen Facehugger?
>>5861742
Albino Xeno for any who still don't know about it. The lewd potential is greater than the Trilobite, I dare say
>>5861749
Same wave as Vasquez, can't wait for it!
>>5861498
>>5861515
Well...
>>5857788
don't touch my Randy, wah!
>>5860339
>Playmates BTFO
>Bandai BTFO
These are easily the best toon turtles ever made. Now if only the Neca gods can find a way to sell me their awesome movie figures in this scale. I'll even happily pay an insane ebay markup on con exclusives since they would be my be all end all TMNT figures.
>>5861400
I already bought a second Ripley to man the PL, thils will be my third. At least they gave her a new head. As long as I get Newt I'm happy.
>>5861513
>>5861532
>>5861732
>yfw Rico, Hudson and Hazard together in a state-of-badass-art team.
>>5853552
Holy shit anon you were spot on, glad I waited after all.
>>5861381
Is it gonna be like the first time where it looked good in promo pics but the actual figures face looks like dogshit?
>>5862140
the problem is who in the promo don't looks good
>>5861742
I like the queen facehugger, but nobody has her by herself, and the 3 pack of the entire wave is so expensive(75 dollars, so that means even with BBTS increased price for gorilla and mantis that queen is 27 freakin dollars) that it doesn't seem worth it.
>>5851988
I like my Neca Engineer, but one of my Xenos was broken in package, and the other had a leg warped so bad it was sideways from the shin down.
Sexy Resurrection Call when!?!?
>>5851988
Kind of wish they'd do a Ghostface from the Scream TV show.
>>5862287
Fucking never, Ripley is the only Resurrection human coming out.
>>5862393
But she's a robot....
>>5861891
You can tell that they're fans of the series, because they actually put in the effort to look like where they're from.
>>5862287
>looks like a 12 year old boy
>sexy
Not that I'm surprised someone here thinks this just had to share
They showed up
>>5861964
Isolation is just a Big Chap with a longer tail and digitigrade feet. Cool design, but Dog's digitigrade feet are much better designed. If you want to get one badly, go ahead. But it's not much better than s normal Big Chap articulation-wise, and without the stand the tail on the ground is the only way to balance it standing.
>>5862140
What the fuck? By default, they ALWAYS look like dogshit on actual retail figures. It is known.
>>5862506
To be fair Ripley 8 is not exactly human either, so...
>>5861749
I really like the tongue, it makes the long head 'work' more for me than the inner jaws ever did
neca's twitter confirmed plans for Resurrection xenos, but I haven't seen any word since. Anyone have info?
maybe its just the nostalgia, but I feel like that movie nailed the xenomorph form & proportions
>>5862643
for the time, was cool. I prefer more than the remade on AvP
>>5862643
Randy often said he hates it and it will be a 'one and done' wave. More than likely its gonna be ripley, the xeno, and the newborn
>>5862702
I can dig a Neca Newborn. I bought the Kenner one 2yrs ago at long last and wished it had more articulation. I hope Neca gives it swappable faces with different facial expressions (calm, rage, and empathetic).
As for Ressurection Warriors, weren't the AVP 1 Warriors just simply planigrade versions of them? Both lack most of the biomechanical features Big Chap and even Dog possessed.
>>5862718
Iirc the resurrection ones had fins on their arms, but youre right and theyll be retooled avp molds
I hope they don't get lazy and just retool the AvP mold. While it's not the most popular design and a major deviation from Giger's designs they also differ from the AvP suit and draw heavily from Fragonard's ecorches for inspiration.
>>5862776
Is that the resurrection Xeno?
>>5862533
Not that anon, but I myself find Call to be utterly fuckable.
>>5862140
The face on mine looks really good, no complaints here. But maybe I was just lucky
>>5862140
>but the actual figures face looks like dogshit?
Yeah, no. Ripley's one of their best figures.
>>5862912
like I said I'm not surprised people would find girls with the looks of 12 year old boys sexy here on /toy/
>>5862953
And now you said it twice. Funny funny. Much laughs.
>>5862912
>>5862953
>short haired girls
>>5862976
It kinda is
>>5861397
>that shitty thing coming out of the gun
the fuck is that?
>>5863039
Space dildo
>>5862804
Yeah, you can tell from the color, otherwise it's very similar to the AvP Xenos.
>>5863131
Add digitigrade legs to that, the AvP Xenos have more humanoid legs.
>>5862952
> your opinion is wrong and hurts my feelings

Hey guys, currently debating if i should buy the creature pack, always loved the "alien in a tube" concept.
Any considerations on the pack? Is it easy to change the batteries on the Stasis Chambers?
>>5863373
Yes, they're held just under the bottom of the containers. Not an issue at all...they're really nice though.
>>5862140
>>5862952
Yeah mine is fine. Literally just got this the other day.
>>5863433
Got her along with the series 5 warrior I asked about. Lol
>>5861513
I would absolutely shit myself
>>5861513
I would die a happy a collector.
They would be so easy to make. I'd be fine with straight 25 points of articu
>>5863397
Cool, i guess i'll go for the pack. Thanks, Anon.
Nice

Do you know how to read or work Amazon?
>>5864372
Do you?
Something that is fulfilled by Amazon obviously gets prime. Something that isn't does not. It changes by seller and if you can't figure that out its on you being a retard.
Good job posting a link for a Kratos fulfilled by amazon. The one sold by NECA at MSRP is not.
>>5864575
Amazon can fulfill orders for 3rd-party sellers if they send their stock to an Amazon warehouse. The third party seller can still charge whatever they want, even if it is over MSRP.
It isn't Amazon's issue, they're just fulfilling someone else's sale. The third parter seller is likely adding a markup to cover Amazon's cut/fees off the sale.
>>5864583
Fuck you, you're retarded. Read what I just said. I'm done.
>>5864610
Fuck you back. I am gone too
Is it me or is does the Gorilla Alien look too skinny compared to the original toy?
>>5864870
I guess the chest could maybe be a little broader, but the thing to remember is that these are NECA's reinterpretations of the Kenner figures. Not 1:1 recreations.
>>5864870
I thought the same, but now it looks fine to me. Could even double as a generic primate Xeno in one's collection for a Planet of the Apes/Alien crossover.
On the subject of crossovers, POTA Endoskeleton when?
Why hasn't BBTS got their Contra figures in yet?!
>>5852040
I want all of them and some tiny game consoles, they are classic player 1-4 colors
When's the next predator wave? I feel like its been a long time between waves.
>>5861383
Cool chimpanzee accessory for Ripley. Was hoping they'd release Newt though
>>5865663
Still waiting for that scarface
Picked up ult gipsy, tech noir, and ult police asdault today. Good shit.
>>5863575
God this looks so bad
Not a fan of uncharted but it looks good to me. Does anyone have a side by side?
>>5865839
>>5865925
Bought!
>>5865925
Jesus, PS4 Drake looks lifelike
best Ripley,When?
Did NECA make a generic Gremlin figure? I see a lot of choices for specific ones, like Stripe, but don't see anything like a generic one.
>>5866218
they said no MULTIPLE times, plus she is apparently super picky about her license, which is why there are no grimacing gun-firering faces
>>5866274
That anon's pic isn't "grimacing gun-firering faces", it's the un-sexy Ripley in underwear.
>>5866255
Yes, sorta. The did release a brown gremlin that was plain Jane, if I remember right. I think there were plans to release a green repaint of that too.
In the first movie line, the poker gremlin could be the normal gremlin of that line, once you take his stuff off.
>>5861749
is this the same sculpt as the aliens warrior figure? (that is the same one used for the genocide aliens right?) If so are there any improvements? Looking to get this
>>5866812
Looks to be the same figure entirely, minus the removable rape tongue.
>get Ultimate Gipsy
>go to change forearms because they're both the fucking gun arms for no reason
>shit snaps right off
Nothing a little gorilla glue can't fix but jeez

Got the arm fixed. Sword is too floppy for my preferences but whatever. Had to hair dry both his arms to get the ball joints in. Paint still rubs off. He ain't no Robot Damashii but I guess he's decent for the price.
Jaeger pals!
>>5867116
Actually, all my glued dried out and the joint managed to stick back in just fine. I'll have to get some later. The balljoints are definitely tight though.
>>5867066
That's not really the paint that's rubbing off. It's just the sealer/plastic release or whatever that the figures seem to be coated in.
>>5867145
It might be mixing with the wash, but no, it's not paint. The figures are covered in this stuff, but that's not the paint itself.
>>5866255
They made a brown gremlin and the flasher gremlin is a basic green if you take his coat off.
we will never have a female predator, right anons, right, rrrright?
Randy said in an interview they have a fully sculpted Ultimate Crimson Typhoon
The only way we'll get it is if they get the rights to do the figures for PR2 and the rights for the first movie Jaegers are included in the contract.
>>5867805
>Ultimate Cherno might actually happen
>>5867654
There are female Predators?
>>5867853
In some of the comics, there are.
Been on a neca binge this month. Found T800, Ripley and an alien warrior. Passed on tech noir and station assault for ripley and the warrior. Did I miss out ?
>>5867900
>>5867900
Possibly? Theyre reissuing that ripley with Newt soon.
I'm not a regular NECA buyer but my dad is, he wants me to get Bill and Ted for him when they come out. I pre-ordered them from my LCS but the release date was originally august, now it's october. Is there anyway to keep up on NECA releases?
>>5867912
Yeah, their events calendar:

>>5867902
Video game shelf. Drake will be joining the pack soon.
>>5867927
No Dead Space?
>>5867903
I've seen reviews of the tech noir and station assault terminators. I literally had them on order but backed out on the pick up and traded them for ripley and warrior.
Store owner calls me a day or so later asking me if I wanted a station assault with a beat up box for 5 bucks off. I just mighthink, but no room...
>>5867928
Sadly never seen Isaac on shelves
>>5867912
TRU's website is pretty accurate. Once a pre-order goes up, it's rarely off.
Does your dad know about the Rufus that's exclusive to Shout! when you order the Bill and Ted blu rays?
>>5867807
Cherno is already perfect tho.
>>5867807
How could they improve on the original Cherno figure? Only ideas I'm coming up with are a new paintjob, cut swivel joints in the biceps and thighs, LEDs in the turbines like on Ultimate Gipsy, and maybe a swappable battle-damaged reactor and fist
>>5867902
what is that axe in Celtic's hand? Looks awesome!
>>5867938
They haven't made any Dead Space figures for years. I think Dead Space 2 was the last time they did.
>>5868907
Got in a weapons lot. Found out its from those old McFarlane Kiss figures.
>>5868949
Even back then. Never seen in person. One of my favorite games too...
I wish these cunts weren't the only ones who made quality Blizzard toys

>>5869170
Hopefully never.
Don't reply.
>>5869210
Ignore this post please, I'm super lonely. Yesterday was my birthday but nobody called, I'm working off my aggression through the only outlet I have available.
>>5869237
Happy belated birthday anon. Sucks about yesterday. No call or well wishes not even from your parents?

>>5867049
Mine arrived today and had the exact same break
>>5867049
>>5869599
Mind giving details on how you glued it? Did you glue the ring joint while it was around the axle? Or remove the axle, reinsert the glued ring joint and reinsert the axle through it?
Then again, if worst comes to worst, I'll just give it the elbow joint from my Anchorage Attack Gipsy.
>>5869599
>>5869612
Update - I just took the elbow joint out of Anchorage Attack Gipsy and gave it to Ultimate Gipsy, it's a little loose but working just fine
I've glued the broken elbow joint, waiting for it to dry in case I can get it onto Anchorage Attack. It's not big deal if I can't though, I only really bought it for the plasmacaster.
I'm debating the same thing as >>5863373, however my doubt is if i should buy the creature pack to add to my small Alien collection or save the money for another figure, Yutany Commando for example or maybe even some non-Neca figure, what do you people think, packs and accessories < more figures?
Gold Alien Predator Queen when? Its canon
>>5867927
>tfw neca will never do Soul Calibur figures
It hurts
>>5866290
that was just an example of Weaver being very specific about how NECA is allowed to use her license.
Can anybody here hook a brotha' up with a Mezco Dredd compared to some NECA figs for height?
>>5870018
Just found out about Predators vs. Judge Dredd vs. Aliens, I assume?
Not my pic, by the way.
>>5870042
Haha, yeah. Though the first issue seemed a bit lackluster. Hopefully it will pick up but from what I heard, IDW has a real problem with writing a good Judge Dredd story
>>5867049
>>5869599
Omfg.. wow neca ...wow...
Fresh out the fudging box...
You think tru will exchange?
>>5870342
I have no idea what that's a picture of
>>5870342
Don't be stupid, of course TRU will exchange. You can return a rock to TRU as long as you have a receipt. Goddamn. It's like you people don't go outside.
>>5870345
Same broken elbow joint as the others.
>>5870348
haha, yeah it's like that
haha
I liked Pacific Rim but I've never bought a figure from NECA, every time i think about it I almost instantly see somebody bitching about the line.
Honestly it seems like a pain in the ass, what do you guys think?
>>5870388
Well, I have every figure (except for the many versions of Gypsy and Hardship) so i'll tell you my thoughts.
The initial first figures were garbage. Knifehead had like, 5 POAs and he's small as shit. Funny enough though, there's actually a canon kaiju who looks exactly like Knifehead except he's small as shit, so i guess it works. Gypsy was hasbro film-of-the-month tier. Crimson was alright, thank god, because that's the only version we got of him.
First wave Striker was alright, but obviously the ultimate is way better. Leatherback was the next Kaiju released and he's obviously a huge step-up from Knifehead, but is super smal scale-wise and has really weird articulation. His legs and fingers move, but like, barely at all. It's weird.
Chenro is where the line really gets perfected, along with deluxe Kaiju releases that are near perfect. They're big, movable, nice paint aps, and hefty. Only one that is worth critiquing is Scunner, as he's not scaled right, but I personally love him. It's too bad we didn't get a deluxe version of Leatherback but whatever.
Both Otachi's are great, winged one comes with a flight stand, and the land one has some really crazy tail articulation. All the prologue Jaegers are really cool, except that Coyote Tango will literally dive of your shelf because he feet are weirdly curved.
Now, the biggest issue with the line is the obvious breaking of joints as you can see in this thread. Now I feel weird saying this because it makes me sound like a Neca shill, but I have almost 200 Neca products (Aliens, Predators, Pacific Rim, whatever) and almost none of them have had any sort of quality control issues. It could be that I don't mess with them enough to really cause and friction on the joints, but almost none of them have broken, compared to my friend who buys Necas just like me, as his break all the time. Again, i'm no shill, I think Neca makes some really fucking retarded decisions (Weird Al, are you serious?), but I digress.
>>5870433
>The initial first figures were garbage
Because of Walmart. The figure were supposed to get a Walmart release and they had to fit under a certain price point.
>>5870433
>I think Neca makes some really fucking retarded decisions (Weird Al, are you serious?)
All right, and that right there earns you a major fuck you.
Weird Al's a cultural icon. It makes PERFECT sense to make merch of him. If you don't like Weird Al, you're absolutely a horrible person.
>>5870433
Weird Al is a treasure.
>>5870905
Please,someone slap his head on a shirtless Dutch.
>>5871348
But Weird Al does make sense. A lot of those Mego/Figural-style figures are musicians and stuff anyway, so why not Weird Al?
Besides, there's been plenty of other stuff that has made even less sense. Like Home Alone.
>>5871348
It is more like a Weird Al Defense Force.
>>5871446
I guess thats true.
>>5871368
Honestly it was just one example to hopefully prove that im not a neca shill (which brought them out of the woodwork anyways), and there are plenty more that I could have posted.
Home Alone is completely retarded though, Neca definitly has an 80s boner then they make figures for a campy 90s flick? Like what the fuck?
>>5871678
Because Home Alone is a movie that tons of people like. You're saying this stuff but I get the feeling you're too young to realize that there is a market for this stuff.
Hell the Kevin is a great figure anyway, but the screaming face is great for photos too.
>>5871678
And when did liking Weird Al make anyone a shill? Jesus, you really should think before you speak.
Neca did right by Al fans. That's all there is to it.
>>5871683
>Because Home Alone is a movie that tons of people like.
It's also a film that's been out of the public eye for 2 decades now. Unless you count the sequels with new characters, but no one ever has.
>>5870348
This is why I find Marvel Legends with BAF pieces replaced by random limbs.
>>5871690
Home Alone was a fun holiday movie, and it isn't like its not well known or a bad movie or anything, but it still isn't exactly NECA's dish.
Those figural-style releases do allow them to do more unusual stuff that that can't do in the 7-inch lines and whatnot, but still, Home Alone felt really weird, like a novelty release.
>>5871690
And? The people that like it, like it regardless. Time had no meaning to nostalgia and money.
>>5871698
To add to this, it's like their Christmas Story merch. The figures, the lamps, etc. I hate that movie, but those fucking things seeeeell every year.
Never disregard holiday fondness.
I've been going to like eight Hastings locations regularly since they started liquidation and not a single Home Alone figure has sold at any of them, even at a reduced price. They came out around Xmas right? So they didn't sell then and they aren't selling now. They're good enough toys but nobody seems to care.
>>5871712
Some stuff is just kind of a miss, honestly...I thought their PotA figures were actually pretty nice (had a few of them at one point) but frankly, I knew the demand probably wouldn't be high for them.
>>5871712
Nobody shops at Hastings, that's why they're going out of business.
They sold out at both TRUS around here, and only recently got a restock on tru.com.
>>5871722
>Nobody shops at Hastings, that's why they're going out of business.
They're going out of business due to being mostly reliant on sales and rentals of physical media. By all accounts their shift towards collectibles and such was working, but not fast enough.
>>5861397
*poof
>>5870433
Only NECA figures I've had arrive broken are my first Wave 2 Striker Eureka, and my Ultimate Gipsy. I've had two other breaks (Tacit Ronin ankle and Romeo Blue shoulder) that weren't my fault but were due to product defects.
What are Neca like when it comes to QC?
I want to Pre-order the Ash vs Evil Dead figures but I've never bought anything from them before.
>>5875285
Its literally fucking random when it comes to their figures. Some will be indestructible (t2 t-800), others will break if you breath the wrong way (any xeno ever).
I wish fucking NECA got the rights to Fallout.
Fuck this Funko Legacy bullshit. I don't understand how anyone who knows anything about toys can make the choices that were made with pic related.
>>5875850
That looks like a retarded stuffed skeleton.
Anyone else fucking infuriated with the new Engineer diorama being made of foam? Won't that shit crumble away in 3 months?
