Holy shit am I glad I'm not a fan of Texas Chainsaw Massacre or the sixth Friday the 13th movie.

>>5872277

I've got the originals, but I do plan on buying this one. Looks like the Linda head is the solid pupils variant, which is good, cause I have the white eyes version from the original release!

>>5872416
Speaking of the Ultimate... series? Line? Are all of the 30th Anniversary Freddy's on ebay from China legit?

>>5872401
The old Ash figures look like an actual human. This reused young Ash is goofy as fuck.

>>5872451
>is goofy as fuck.

That's how he looked when he was younger, yes, that's correct.

How are the Police Assault Terminator's arms for posing? They look pretty limited.

>>5872750

They let the Terminator look like he's shooting. So, exactly like the movie.

>>5872446
QC rejects and surplus.

>>5872750
Doubt you'll be able to pull off the "shotgun on the shoulder" look.

>>5872995
>So, exactly like the movie
Which is never a real answer.

>>5873098
I'm more thinking about things like putting him on a motorcycle and using the arms to compensate for the lack of torso crunch. It's hard to pull off good motorcycle poses with an unmoving torso and limited arms.

>>5872280
This. I never liked the head sculpt on the NECA Ash's, maybe I'll just get geezer ash instead.

>>5873280

I don't get why this needs to be repeated in varying closeups and flips. It all seems so superfluous.

Simply a loop of one view shaking his head "No" will get the point across that you dont want to buy NECA quite adequately

>>5873280

Outright stating it isn't.

>>5873441

Because then it wouldn't be "le so fannay maymay."

Warning to anyone who's ordered or is considering getting Ultimate Gipsy Danger - there have been several reports (including mine) of the elbow joint being broken straight out of the packaging, so watch out for that. If you have a spare Gipsy using the HKB molds, you can always use the elbow joints from it as replacements.

>>5873399
>Which is never a real answer.

Sure it is. He points the gun, he shoots the gun. Rinse and repeat.

>>5873399


Ah. Maybe if the bike has ape-hangers.

>>5873766
If that's all a Terminator toy needed to do they wouldn't have bothered releasing an updated version since the original release achieved that just fine.

>>5873886

You're right it did. This release is pretty superfluous.

When is AvED Ash supposed to be coming out? Seems like it was announced ages ago.

Yes, Bruce looked different when he was younger

There's just something off about the eyes and mouth for this figure though

I'm more inclined to buy AvED Bruce honestly

>>5874537
They said it'd be October, pretty sure it was on Twitter. Maybe when they revealed the box art.

It is in scale. Try posting the rest of the images from that scene instead of the scale shots with the children in the space suits to MAKE the thing look bigger than it actually was.

>>5875272
>>5875329
LOL! It's funny that they don't show Kane's front. Imagine him mucking around the jockey with a face-hugger on his face. Or..... maybe NECA is teasing us, having actually gotten John Hurt's likeness? Hmmmmm.....

>>5876507
>not knowing the jockey's scale varies between shots
n00b

>>5876560

That'd be a miracle. Not even Hot Toys could get his likeness.

So I got a used Cracked Tusk recently and his right hand won't pop on. I thought it was the hand but I tried an alt hand I had and it didn't go on either, so I think the ball joint is slightly sunk in. Any tips on how to get it out a little and get a hand on?

>>5876720
Boil a little water, dunk a moment, should soften it to pull on it or whatever.

>>5876560
NECA said on Twitter that nothing has changed with getting Jonh Hurt's likeness. At this point in time, it seems like the best bet is to pick up another pressure suit figure, swap heads, and paint the faceplate black.

>>5875539
The Deacon was a poorly articulated figure. Almost a statue.

>>5876922
Nice figure though, but it would be done better nowadays. Then again, Prometheus doesn't deserve much better.

>>5876001

Got my Contra figs today. And they are...Dutch. So, they're awesome. But they're Dutch. I love the paint jobs, I love the faces, and I love those neat guns you can kind of customize as you see fit.

Really great set.

>>5877261
If you get one, beware of its faulty right elbow. Peg is too big for the ring in the joint, resulting the ring to break.

With that said, it's basically broken in final assembly before being packaged....

>>5875429
No shit. This thing will be garbage in a few years especially if you happen to put your hands on it. The acid from your fingers will start doing its dirty work.

I seriously could not have been that much more to make the Space Jockey out of normal plastic so it will have a proper shelf life and not melt into goo.

Is there differences between the new ultimate edition Gipsy and the 2.0?

I have the boat version and the original, but the ultimate looks to have pretty much everything except the boat and I'm wondering if it's worth it.

>>5878664

New and better hips, and seemingly, sturdier feets. If that's not a selling point for you, then you're fine without it. Unless you want the light up feature too.

>>5878668

Found this stuck behind some Waracraft Movie figs at TRU. I kept passing on him until his price doubled. I guess I lucked out or found someone's stashed figure. Any chance NECA will also make they're Catwoman and Penguin in 7" scale?

>>5878705

There's always a chance, not that they'd admit to it. I'm hoping and praying for both of those as smaller figures though, too.

>>5878705
Well, they can only make 7" DC figures as part of BluRay release tie-ins, so if another Batman movie with Catwoman or Penguin releases, then maybe thay can.

Ultimate Gipsy has wider feet and better ankles. Combine that with the improved hips and he stands like a champ.

The Glow in the Dark one is Stalker Pred. One of the Kenner figures.

They have pretty similar armor, though. Especially that chestplate with the Xeno face on it.

>>5880602
Yes. Ball joint underneath

>>5880794
Cool, thanks. I will probably pick it up, Neca is pretty good with the thin overlays.

Will the Space Jockey diorama float? Might make a cool pool decoration

>>5880806

Yeah, they've all but perfected it at this point. The only Freddy I have is the Power Glove one, m'self, but that's just cause I think that one's the funniest version of the character.

>NECA makes New Nightmare Freddy
>They refuse to make Friday the 13th Part V Roy

This bums me out. I guess it's cus the MEGO Roy didn't sell well enough or something? I hate that's what it comes to. But also, when they released Roy that was early in the MEGO style releases, with their type 1 body, when they had horrible articulation and terribly fit clothes. Look at pic related, I mean, c'mon? Can you blame it for not selling?
There are so many characters they do in the MEGO style that I want, but don't buy cus I'm personally not into collecting 8" dolls that don't fit in with my other NECAs, and have awkwardly fitting clothes. I can't be the only one. I get most of those characters are too obscure to justify fully sculpting and tooling though.

I just feel like if they sold a bloodied up Roy, it'd sell like all the other Jasons, I mean casuals who are looking to get a horror killer figure won't know shit about him not being the real Jason until after they buy it and take of the mask, and F13th collectors will buy it regardless.
And New Nightmare Freddy was more of a controversy/risk when it comes to those series. But I understand Freddy sells more in general. Can't wait for the figure, looks like it'd be one of their best Freddy's yet. Too bad it's not an ultimate release.

All of them really. I'm assuming you mean the big ones? Then yeah.

>>5883307

>>5880414
I have him in a normal neca base, but you would say that is a boring standing with a rocket launcher stand.

>>5882931
I started with the Dark Horse 25th Predator, I love his bright blue, pale body and blood red colour scheme. Bad Blood is pretty great and probably has one of the best unmasked Predator heads. Big Red is neat but obviously weird.

If you want some Preds who specifically fight Aliens, any of the AVP guys are made for it and are all very similar, just figure out what accessories you like the best.

Saw the Dark Knight Joker in stores recently, worth buying?

>>5883702
Do you like Dark Knight Joker on a 7" scale?
I dont think it have any big issues like other figures, so if you are interested you should be fine.

>>5883702
My Joker's right leg popped off, apparently it's a common thing.
So if you do get him, watch out for that

Anyone know where I can get a 7" Jungle hunter without getting butt fucked on price? Or am I going to have to buy a knockoff from china

>>5883985

But...that's the expression he makes. Often.

Also Aliens series 9 is on the Ebay store! Vasquez, rape mouth albino, and black guy!

>>5884470
Land otachi and leatherback are getting expensive nowadays, and I really wouldn't even recommend leatherback when he was new, he's basically a brick. Both otachi's are solid however, and the winged one is still pretty close to retail.

Don't sleep on the jaegers though, striker 2.0, horizon brave, and romeo blue are all pretty great and should be easy to get. Romeo in particular came out of nowhere and was one of my favorite figures of the year. Cherno is the star of the line and a no brainer if you can find a deal.

>>5884988
>and I really wouldn't even recommend leatherback when he was new, he's basically a brick.

I don't care about articulation honestly.

>>5876922
The shoulders were honestly the one disappointment in articulation. I understand Deacon is only on screen for 30sec and doesn't do much, but they could have at least given him some ball-hinges. The feet were the only other engineering failures of the figure. Crouching on the balls of his feet DOES recreate the scene but does nothing else for alternate posing. Fingers crossed we see Deacon again (or others) in Aliens Covenant.

>>5885014
Then get the x plus, its amazing

Do the Isolation xeno and series 2 Big Chap have any advantages over each other?

>>5885236

Big Chap's accurate to the film. Isolation is accurate to the game. Meaning the legs mostly, it kinda depends on what you want out of your creature.

But no, one isn't necessarily better than the other, it's just about which design you think you'd be happier with in the end.

>>5885241
Thanks. Figured they were about the same but wanted to be sure.

>>5887014
I've got the T2 figure. I really like him.

Some people don't like that his knees can't go perfectly straight, there's always a slight bend like in the pic on the box there. Can't think of any natural-looking poses that would cause problems with though.

I don't get this, they can. Maybe yours are just too stiff, but yeah, they can go straight no problem.

Yep, they did the same with the rape squid! The 'penis' was covered by the silver TRU exclusive sticker.

I'm very confused when it comes to licensing. Does Neca have the license to and plans to comics? I'm reading Predator vs. Dredd vs. Aliens and these predator designs are pretty awesome. I love the xeno chest armor and the one on the left has a great frontline soldier vibe.

I'm pretty sure Neca has the rights to do anything and everything from Alien and Predator, unless it requires an actor's likeness.

Tons of 1/12 scale motorcycle kits, but I can't say for certain if they'd fit him. ANd I'm not sure if they make the model he rode in the movie.

water beads, look for the miku in a jar tutorial.
>>5888566
I'm eagerly waiting for that big guy too, a couple days ago I saw Randy tweet it's shipping from china later this month.

Which AVP pred would you guys say is the best overall? Celtic or scar?

>>5891570
They're basically all the same, so it comes down to which head and accessories you like the most

I'd just wait until the 2pack with the actually accurate Grid alien drops

>>5891570
>>5891573

Honestly, if I had to recommend just one, I'd maybe go as far as saying the maskless Scar. It's probably the best unmasked head NECA has ever done. He also is the most armored-up one out of all of them.

If you must have a masked one, even the masked Scar is nice, because he still has a lot of accessories, and even comes with an extra right hand (so he has a fist hand, a gripping hand for his rights, and an opened hand for his left) although he has probably the least interesting mask. It does have the neat scar/marking on the mask.

Celtic probably has the most unique mask. But even the two "Literal who" Predators from the flashback sequence look nice, since the main trio has the same silvery armor, while of the other two, one has a more coppery/rusty look, and the other has a more blue look.

Either that, or wait for that fucking fantastic looking Ancient Elder who has unique weapons, trophies, an awesome looking head sculpt, mask, and the cape.

>>5891570
Unmasked scar. Or if you don't care about the film at all, I think the flashback press actually look the best.

>>5891570
Ancient Warrior has the best mask, but Temple Guard has that kickass coppery armor. Other than that, it's your choice.

>>5891582
The only one I have so far is Chopper, so I kinda wanted one that's the most different from him as possible.

Celtic does have the coolest looking mask, but other than that he's essentially the same exact figure. I've been eyeing masked Scar mostly because I love his huge ass blade and that armor piece going down his front chest area rather than his back. He was also the most memorable pred from the film w/ the scar on his mask and all, so yeah.

I do like the ancient warrior's almost metallic blue look, too, though.

Difficult choice, I keep leaning toward masked Scar, though.

And yeah, I can't fucking wait for AVP Elder. I'd like to have at least a couple fellow AVP preds to lead.
>>5891573
I already have a grid xeno. Don't really need another and the lack of a cut tail never bothered me.

Personally I only started buying these last Christmas so I only have like 18. And only 5 of those are from Alien(s), most are Predators. I want the main characters from Aliens and a bunch of Xenos for them to kill. At least that makes sense, right? They're hive monsters, there should be 40 of the fuckers. But why do I have 15 Predators? Even in the movies they never have more than like 4 to a clan

Yes, what a perfectly normal way to handle things. I'm sure that won't have any negative effects at all.

I'm really having trouble deciding which alien line to get into. I doubt it, but does anyone have both the Neca and Hiya powerloaders? Aside from the obvious difference in size, how do they stack up? The Hiya paintjob looks a bit better, but promos aren't always accurate and there's more to a toy than just paint. Also, it's only like ten bucks less for close to half the size.

>>5893619

Unless 1:18 is your scale of choice, I'd probably go with NECA. Hiya can be infuriatingly slow releasing product. They've been around 6 years (including their original incarnation, Teika) and have released three lines.

I hope it's not anything from that new Rob Zombie movie.

And also STARS wont let NECA make any Necrocomicons?.. Weird. Not as a prop replica or an accessory for a figure.

That is weird. Wonder if it's because it's an actual book that has licensing issues or if its just nerves because of religion or whatever.

Anyway, this eBay seller makes a ton of dollhouse books and there are a couple not bad stand ins if you want something. Not sure if 1/2 or 1/6 would look better with Neca's size, though. This one's Hocus Pocus and only comes in 1/6 or 1/3 I believe. http://www.ebay.com/usr/terrie36?rt=nc

>>5893619
Honestly, their only selling point is that they have figures that Neca hasnt made yet, and the size. Other than that they are WAY overpriced for what they are, and I wouldnt put it past Neca to eventually release something like the crusher.

>>5895567

It might be? I couldn't say. I know Anchor Bay or someone released at least 2 different Necronomicons for Evil Dead 1 and 2 DVD releases. I have both, and they're both accurate to their movies (with actual art from the books on the pages inside!), but it's entirely possible some rights got moved around or changed hands by this point.

>>5895567
>>5895578
I guess the person who owns the rights to the first movie is the one who owns the rights to the book since it appeared there first or something. I saw they say something like that on their twitter like an hour ago, but then how come it can be included with ED2 Ultimate Ash?

>>5895550
>>5895567
>>5895578

>>5895681

I'm pretty sure that they had the Halloween license at one point, but let it go and someone else picked it up.

So they just can't do that at this point.

And didn't they do a Snake in the Mego-style figural line?

>>5895681
Because those aren't worth any money. Randy's talked about all of those in the past in some form and concludes that they just wouldn't be profitable. He has the sales data, not us, so I'd be inclined to believe them.

They are not replicas, and not sold in "toy stores"

I'd buy these, but they definitely wouldnt make enough of a profit to justify the time and money it takes going into them. We know this because they made a retro snake and the sales weren't good.

>>5896317
Yeah but retro clothed figures are usually duds. Most ultimate figures can't stay on the shelves. The megos peg warm

>>5896317
I'm sure I'm not the only one who refused to buy the retro figure in hopes of it encouraging a 7" one. I don't care about those retro figures one fucking bit, but I would've bought two 7" ones.

>>5896320

The megos sell, they've got their own fan base honestly.

>>5896320
>>5896321
I'm in the same boat as you guys. I wanted nothing more than a tradiational figure of Charelton Heston from Planet of the Apes and one of Impostor Jason from part V but all we got were MEGOs.
But that's NECAs logic unfortunatley, if it doesnt sell well as a MEGO it's not viable enough to sculpt and tool a whole figure

But lets be real here. Part V Roy, Charleton Heston, Patrick Batemen, Snake Plissken? Those aren't near as known as Freddy, Jason, Alien, Predator.
I wish they wouldnt play it safe all the time, but I get why they do.

>>5895787
Yeah there were a lot of choices out there. I think NECA is just playing it safe to the chest. Some of those figures are still shelf-warming in comic book even today. I don't think they realize how profitable some of those licenses could be though. Not as big as Alien or Predator, but there is potential.

>>5896372
Toys are a lot more expensive than they used to me with the higher prices in plastic and modern day articulation to engineer.

It'd be my DREAM if neca just brought back the Cult Classics Line with their modern day articulation but a lot of the time it's not worth making a character unless they're widely known or they'd have a sculpt that can be recycled a few times. Unfortunately a lot of the figures they did in the past dont follow under those requirements.

I don't really by NECA figures but I was wondering what's likely going to be the price for the Ash vs Evil Dead figures?

>>5897012

Assuming USD, $20~$25 is the standard going-rate for the majority of their figures.

These figures will be in that range.

Lovecraft only came up with the concept of the book. The contents were written by other authors, most of whom are NOT in the public domain. (the oldest full Necronomicon is from 1972 according to wikipedia, and even that is too recent for public domain)

And either way, we're talking about that specific appearance and design, not a real book. Please do a modicum of research before presenting misinformation as facts.

Here's the source straight from Randy's mouth:
http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1snvtrt

"Last tweet re #Contra headbands, they're based on the original NES 8 bit version from early '88 where in-game both headbands appeared to be red in color.
Konami asked that we keep one headband red and one blue so we obliged
Anyone who wants to change the colors themselves or swap heads or whatever tickles your fancy feel free to do so. Enough said, now play with your toys & have fun. "

The issue is that they could have easily painted the bandanas the correct color to match the pants for each character AND the original Arcade/NES/Famicom artwork, but I think they were too far along in production, so they gave that BS excuse.

I'm sad about the Contra colours too but not enough to complain to them. I'll just swap the heads and call it good.

I also want some Dutch vests though. Might buy some knockoff Thermal Dutchs and paint them

Gee, i wonder why

Got to open a fresh case of Aliens series 9 today. Lucky for me too, since every Vasquez had questionable paints apps on her face. Watch out for shitty joints on your dick monsters too. Mine had a broken wrist loop. The plastic on the xeno joints seems really shitty compared to all my other ones.

Also, the "adios" paint app on the smartgun got cut. Bummer deal.

All around disappointing. Didn't get Frost, since I assume it'll stick around for a while.

Like this? Hope it's not a widespread issue

They should really do something about the Aliens Xenomorph figure.

By far, it seems to be their most problematic figure.

Opinions on this guy's backstory?
That's an awful lot of names, are those all Kenner clans?

There's nothing to do about it. Stop being a hamhands, that stops most problems right off the bat.

Things that are already broken before being opened have nothing to do with hamhands, shill

WELL my ultimate part 1 Freddy's hips decided to stop working, he just keeps falling back now, just like every Part 3 Jason mold I'd ever owned.

And Ultimate part 3 Freddys using the same legs right? Great. I doubt they fixed it. I own three figures with the Part 3 Jason Mold (Battle Damaged, and both NES versions) and they never bothered to fix those hips as those were released over time.

Im stoked for New Nightmare Freddy cus atleast those are all new. As far as I can tell the newer molds don't have loose hips like that. My ultimate and atari leatherface have great hips so far

Widespread issue or not, they're sending me a new hand! Say what you want about their QC, but in my experience NECA have always been quick to offer solutions whenever possible.

Posting in this thread because I need a safe space.

It's not bs though. Randy's been saying for almost a year how much of a pain in the ass Konami is. They're the reason we're not getting the castlevania figure.

I love mine, but like others have said, the weapons were all smushed. Lucky for me I already had the shitty half-statue versions with more solid (and better painted) weapons. The old one also had better paint on the hands, but they were too lose on the new figure, so I swapped them back.

There's not that many names there.

Lasershot Predator is an old Kenner Pred, but NECA hasn't done an update of him yet.
Armored Lost/Borg Predator is one of the Lost Tribe Preds from the end of Predator 2. NECA just made up some badass non-canon armor for him, similar to how Viper is technically a made-up Predator.
Yautja Prime is just the Predator home world.
R'Zor I've never even heard of, so it is either a future NECA creation like Lost Armor and Viper, or it some obscure comic/EU Predator.

Those are really the only names in that bio.
