Ghost and Stalker are up on Amazon. Not sure why Spiked Tail isn't yet.
>>5999218
I know this is 4chan and fag is in pretty much every anon's vocabulary, but really? "Looks gay as fuck", Are you 12? Its based off of a Kenner figure from the 90s. Its not supposed to be realistic or like a pred from the movies.

Dumb question but the nearest TRU by me is 45 mins away, it's the only place around me that sells NECA and I like to see figures in person before I buy them. Is Ultimate Ash out at Toys R Us? Or should I just get one online?

>>5999322

We love the Alien, too. Its just that the Predator has a very individualist slant that that appeals to us, plus a ton of lore and mythos that helps set them apart. A lot of the appeal to these Kenenr predators, for example, is being able to get "your" childhood predator; the one you grew up with and made adventures about.
>>
>>5999530
Well, no shit you guys like a bunch of darkskinned "aliens" who like to rape people and impregnate them with their seed while male characters generally end up useless and weak.
>>
>>5999605
Yeah the fact that almost every Predator is an individual makes them very appealing.
>>
>>5999628
fucking kek

I never cared for the lore or mythos of either, but I found the bull dyke females and neutered males of the alien franchise particularly cringeworthy

Well, i grew up watching Preds ripping skulls and Xenos raping faces, so it's hard to avoid liking neat toys of both.
I currently have more Xenos than Preds, but that should change as soon as i get my hands Scarface, Serpent Hunter and Ultimate Jungle Hunter.
(Although to be fair i'm still waiting for AvP:R and Resurrection Xenos, and Revenant, so by the end i'll probably still have more Xenos).

They finally made one of the three predators I had as a kid. Have the two on the right been made yet, particularly the far right one? I had the silver variant of the middle one too. Pretty neat to see.
>>
>>6000512

The middle one is in the top left of OP's pic.
>>
>>6000514
I just realized that. I wonder if they'll release a more color accurate one?
>>
>>6000508
The AVP predators are larger in the movie. The move to more articulation is just where NECA has been going lately.
>>
>>6000530
fuck that's annoying. I like the articulation but I wish all my preds were in the same scale
>>
>>6000517
The original had a green repaint, so they'll probably rerelease it with the other paint job. Neca loves its repaints
>>
>>6000512
The one on the right is Nightstorm. He was one of the first they did and was based on a body from the Predators movie. IMO it's not great, I have the Scavage repaint and his legs are kinda limited and he has problems standing
>>
Any new news on overwatch NECA stuff? Last i read NECA wanted to do tracer from the HotS line.
>>
>>6000543

They are the same scale. The AvP preds were bulkier and larger than the originals.
>>
>>6000860
That's because IRL the film was made using a low-budget Canadian SFX company. They also had fatter heads than the Preds in the other films.
>>
>>6000875
no? they are bulkier to give them more heroic proportions. Barrel chests, bigger heads, huge arms, tiny waists.
>>
>>6000875
>>6000877
They're not Canadian but the AvP movies did use Amalgamated Dynamics instead of Stan Winston Studios (or Howard Berger who did Predators and worked under Stan Winston).

The next film is supposed to be using Amalgamated again so we'll probably be seeing the fat head suits again. With Shane Black helming it'll likely be a shitfest anyway.
>>
Anon from the last thread who was inquiring about Xenos and Kaiju 'n' shit here. So I get that the "Dog Alien" should be the most poseable, but I have to ask, will the red one be just as good as the black one? Also, I'd still like to know how the articulation is for the 7" kaiju. Specifically Axehead and Mutavore. Additionally, why do so many of the kaiju have weird lines on them?
>>
>>6000951
The red is just a repaint, so yes.

Axehead has limited elbow range but real good articulation otherwise. Mutavore has excellent articulation but does require a stand to stay up.

The lines are part of their design in the movie. They're glowy bits.
>>
>>6000512
same, minus the one on the far right. I had staker and spiked tail. awesome to see their remakes come out in the same wave.

>Its just that the Predator has a very individualist slant that that appeals to us

But the Clan aspect of the Predators is huge, especially in the EU stuff. They're really kind of shown both ways.

>>6000508
>>6000530

Really, the only reason they got bigger is because it was a byproduct of the added articulation. Look at the AvP Predator legs. The construction is completely different especially when taking into account how that added knee piece works. They're not bigger because they "were bigger in the movies" (they were actually squatter and stockier in AvP than in the other movies. In fact, they were pretty open at NECA about how they hated those designs, so they made them leaner and more athletic looking.)

The figures being taller is just sort of an unfortunate result of them being much better constructed as figures. Randy was pretty upfront with the fact that they took liberties on the actual designs.

Indeed, if a recall correctly the taller predators should be the super predators from Predators.
It's worth noting though that it depends on the pred and the body, Scarface for example uses the same bodys as the AvP Preds, but he is probably the tallest predator so far, much bigger than a regular human or the movie preds.
>>
>>6001095
granted, Scarface also shrugs off shit that would have killed the classic movie Preds ten times over, so it's fair to call him an outlier.
>>
>>6001102
Well, no wonder his clan went back for him when they started getting killed and captured by humans, dude might have little care for rules, but damn, he didn't gave two fucks for stuff that should have killed him either.
>>

I really like the idea of Scarface being the Snake Plissken of Predators, haha

Any chances of rereleases of the Mirage turtles but this time with colored bandanas?

No and no.

>>6001419

Quite a few people. They're fun knick-knacks for people that work in Offices or at home and just want something they can set up without going full "nerd."

As for scalers, again, people do or they wouldn't have made so many. I actually own four of them, because I liked the sculpts of the characers...Godzilla, Rocket Raccoon, Bebop & Rocksteady.
>>

Fuck no. Buy the bootlegs.

Judging by the untouched pegs I've see at any place that carries them, nobody

I went to a bunch of Hastings on their last days and the only time I saw any move was when they were letting people fill full trash bags for $30, and some dude just emptied the pegs into a bag

Is the dynamic stand a good secondary one for the Alien Queen?
>>
>>6001603
>nobody

Sorry, but you are wrong.
>>
>>6001615
That's a good question. It miiiiight work? The queen may have to be down low in the crouching position, though. And she'd kind of just be leaning against the claw, cause I don't think it'd provide a ton of stability, at least, I say that.
>>
Probably just getting Ghost. Spiked tail looks too edgy, and glow in the dark is a gimmick. Ghost is a solid standard pred on a new body.

I guess they never stood out much to me. Weird. Anyway, thanks anon. I'm highly considering grabbing the red Xeno two pack I saw at TRU, as well as maybe Mutavore. Not sure which Predator I want yet. I just know I want the traditional mask and a shoulder cannon.

Why couldn't it have just been the comic designs? The preacher comics are pretty famous and well regarded, whereas the show had poor viewership and was largely disliked by die-hard preacher fans. But still we get bra is and butt head.

One looks like a hipster who's dressed as a priest for Halloween, the other looks like, just some guy.

They didn't even give Cassidy sunglasses (he doesn't even wear sunglasses in the show.)

Like >>6000971 said, Mutavore needs the stand, but his articulation is ace. Axehead (I hope you mean Tresspasser-pic related,) is also really nice, he's a bit stiffer, but not a brick. The best thing for me about that one is it looks like his figure in the movie.

So how did NECA's two Contra soldiers work out? I ordered the set as a birthday gift for my brother and then it was delayed and delayed and delayed until now it'll be a Christmas gift. Unless it's really awful. But then he rarely opens stuff so maybe that doesn't matter?
>>
>>6002786
They're great and come with some very appropriate accessories. Everyone that's had them seems happy with them. I sure am. Reviews are positive though.

I assume they sold well, too.
>>
>>6002783
Agreed, Neca takes a lot of liberties with Kenner designs (no huge shoulder blasters etc), don't see why a transparent net would be a problem at all.
>>
>>6002783
If you look at the pics of the new wave, you can see they painted directly over the sculpted netting. The netting should either be black, or they should use a body that doesn't have netting. It looks really bad in the pics above
>>
>>6002794
Will you buy them?
>>
>>6002803
I'll probably get Ghost. He just could have been done better.
>>
>>6002794
I'm sorry you choose to troll this boring and weak argument all the time. What a sorry life you must lead.
>>
>>6002806
Have you considered customizing it so that the net is painted? Unpainted nets don't really bother me, but if you like the figure enough to buy one it's probably because it has more ups than downs for you, so maybe it's worth the try, hell, you might even have fun if you are DIY can of guy and i bet people on the thread would enjoy pics of a different Ghost to see how it would look like.
>>
why did NECA make ultimate part 3 jason's head tan and his hands pale/pink? it's jarring

Why is mutavore and axehead both like $60 when previous Kaiju where less than half that? They are the price of otachi for gods sake
>>
>>6002794
who gives a shit? I didn't even notice until you pointed it out.
>>
>>6002823
Obviously they give a shit. I'm passing on these because i think it looks cheap and low quality.

Now Clan Leader, on the other hand, hooooo boy I'm excited.
>>
>>6001976
In fairness, Neca said this is just "wave 1", implying there'll be multiple waves, and I can't really see what other to character they could do aside from tulip, the Saint of killers and maybe the Angels. I'm sure they'll do classic versions like they've done for predator, alien, terminator, Freddie, Jason, and all the rest.
>>
>>6002786
Damn they look great, I really like the projectile effects they come with. Leave it to Neca to make cool nes character into detailed 7" figures.

>>6004135
Randy recently said the Capcom AVP Preds are fair game but said Capcom technically owns Kurosawa. No word on Dutch but presumably he's fair game?

Even if they could I don't see Kurosawa getting made unless she's A3 Ripley with a new head or something. They could never reuse the mould.

what about Vasquez?
>>
>>6002786
Pretty much the only complaint is that they switched the colours around (traditionally Bill/Schwarzenegger is player 1/blue) but that could have been Konami
Either way they look good
>>
>>6004172
that and the crossed eyes on the Red one.
>>
>>6004122
It's not a high price. It's how much the figures cost out due to paint and articulation and size, and unique sculpting needed between the body.
>>
NECAstore at 9am Eastern time has some exclusives back up for order. The description up right now says it may include the 2016 TMNT exclusives that people didn't pick up!

So if you missed out on Shredder, this may be your chance!

I know Concrete Jungle wasn't exactly a great game but goddamn I loved that shit.
Have they ever made a figure of the dark blade clan?
>>
>>6004170
Maybe. But Kurosawa has knee pads, Vasquez doesn't. I haven't seen many pics of her without her armour either.
>>
>>6004321
Nope, they're only just now doing Scarface. I never actually played the game, I just love the way he looks (he looks like a Predator that would fight Conan) so I have no idea what they look like.

Picked up the cloaked Scar and the arcade foot. Should have got the other 2 cloaked but oh well.
>>
>>6004321
They only mentioned Scarface so far, and it's a single Ultimate release, so i doubt they will be making any other figures of the game. Shame, i'd love Dark Blade Clan and Ritual Armor Predator.
Some of the bad guys look awesome too!

I keep thinking of trying to assemble the Armory Wall though, shouldn't be so hartd to build the weapons... Damn, that game has so much material with toy potential...
>>
>>6004350
I don't have any Turtles so the Foot are a waste to me. Add in that I only really wanted Shredder and it's all a pass.

I did buy Albino Predator though. $40 shipped stings a bit (I could have bought the Genocide 2 pack at that price or something) but when's the next time I'll see him for even $45-50?

i guess this is the type of person NECA is catering to. People who don't care for 100% accuracy nor have played the game. More of those than people who enjoyed the game, thought it was a cool design and want a figure of that character; not celtic playing dress up.
>>
>>6004447

You are such a faggot. Most things aren't 100% accurate. The figure is as close as it needs to be, and as close as it has to be within costing.

I didn't own any Kenner Predator toys as a kid either. I'd like to play the game but it hasn't been rereleased for modern consoles/PC and I don't have a PS2 laying around. Yet I'm buying the toy because it looks cool.

How many people bought the AVP Preds because of how cool they looked despite how shitty the movies themselves were?

I know that feel, some exclusives do reach my country, but the regular figures usually end up costing 3 times the original value, so you can imagine how much an exclusive costs around here... With the price of a single cloacked Scar i could buy 3 regular new Predators here, and with the price of a single regular new Predator here i could probably buy 3 more regular predators in the states...

Funny thing is that these figures used be cheaper before the economical crisis, but old figures that costed less retained their price, so rare/pricier figures from before cost about the same as new regular figures now. Pic related, Big Red and Scar all cost about the same here, which basically means we will have to pay premium price, no matter what...

If there wasn't the AVP design it probably would have never got made at all.

Scar uses the AvP body. Shirt dreds are on smaller bodies, it wouldn't just wrap around perfectly at all AND the connection isn't the same on the heads. They would have to tool new hair and THAT DRIVES THE COST UP ON THE TOY. That's the point.

Calm down, I was agreeing with you. Jesus.

Seeing this argument is hilarious though. You think some slightly too long dreadlocks are a problem? Let me run down some shit:
> Lava Planet Pred has no paint on his back
> Cracked Tusk, known for his cracked fucking tusk, has a permanent mask
> numerous original Kenner Preds just reuse existing plasma casters instead of getting new huge ones
> Viper is literally a Jungle Hunter repaint with extra hands and a mask
> they reused that mask for Ambush Predator
> Wasp and Big Red only have new weapons and nothing else
> unpainted netting on Kenner predators
> Amanda Ripley is an Alien Ripley repaint with a new head
> John Matrix is just Dutch, literally
> They won't make a new Kyle Reese because the old one sold like shit

They cost things out and cut corners where they can because that's what they do to give us this much shit. Scarface has 2 new heads, new armour, 2 new tooled weapons and I dunno what else. They did enough.

Why were these posts deleted? I wasn't shitposting. I was asking why the articulation is so bad on two $25 figures. Also which Xeno is "big chap"? I've seen Aliens and that's it. I would've watched the first one if my "friend" hadn't spoiled it for me and I've been told that everything after Aliens is pretty bad, so whichever Xeno is being called Big Chap I am not familiar with that name.
>>
>>6007239
well, I don't know what they were deleted, but like I said earlier, dog xeno has great articulation, if you can't make it crouch, it's pretty much on you.
>>
>>6007239
>Why were these posts deleted?
Because the janitor is a NECAnon most likely.

In answer to your actual question (why the articulation isn't so great on the Ayylmaos) it's probably because NECA focuses on sculpt over articulation, to an annoying degree IMO. It does produce some very nice looking figures, but the articulation definitely suffers. I don't have the Dog Alien but I do have a Warrior (same mold as the Big Chap for the most part, at least in regards to articulation). His limbs are great, but the torso is kinda sucky. He really could have done with a joint at the base of the neck, and really the "headrest" should have been on a joint- as is you have to take it off to get full range of motion out of the head, which leaves an ugly hole in his back. Still a good figure but damn I wish he was a bit more poseable.

Re: Big Chap, he's the Alien from the first movie.
>>
>>6007239
> hasn't seen Alien because someone spoiled it
What the fuck could they possibly spoil? The chestburster scene? Aliens literally has it happen again in the FIRST SCENE, Ripley dreams about it. If you haven't seen Alien for context that shit barely makes sense. Go watch it, Anon. Even knowing what's going to happen the chestburster scene is one of the most terrifying and enthralling scenes in film period.

> Big Chap
Can't blame you for not knowing it initially because it's half fan term and they don't say it anywhere on the packaging. But the Big Chap is the design from Alien, they called it that on set because the actor was like 7 feet tall. Any toy that uses the Alien 1 design is usually called a Big Chap. The most noticeable differences are a clear smooth dome (Aliens replaced the fragile glass dome on the costume with a more durable and easy to duplicate ridged dome in opaque colour), big heeled feet on the toy (Isolation Xeno has digitigrade/"chicken" legs), six fingered hands on the toy and 5 back pipes (one is removable). The Xenos ftom Aliens are usually called Warriors and the Alien 3 is called Dog Alien because it came from a dog in the movie. After that any differences just get called by what movie they're from.

Anyway, the toys do have pretty good articulation, they just can't crawl but you can't do much about it other than bitch
>>
>>6007239
So, did you got the posing right for Dog Alien? I mean, having problems putting him in a crawling pose is weird since he is made for that and even comes with a stand to help. Did you miss the Neck articulation or something?
>>
>>6007243
>hasn't seen Alien because someone spoiled it
>What the fuck could they possibly spoil?
Well, I didn't know that there was only 1 Xeno or that it just gets killed. What he said was "she runs around in her skivvies and kills one alien". He said this because I told him I didn't want to watch Aliens without watching Alien first when he asked me to watch the second movie with him, and he said it before I had a chance to stop him.

>Big Chap
Oh. Well, after looking at some of the footage from Alien, I can see that "Big Chap" does indeed not appear to crawl. I guess after seeing Aliens and playing the headache-inducing 360 AVP game, I assumed Xenos crawling was just the norm.

>>6007251
The arms and legs don't seem very maneuverable at all, and I guess I DID miss the neck articulation, because I didn't know it was able to move hardly at all, since the size of the head gets in its own way, and the neck doesn't appear to move at all even though it has the capability. I haven't been any rougher with the NECA Xenos than I would a figma/figuarts/PAK, because I don't know their limits, but I'm still already seeing stress marks on the top parts of the knee joints.

>>6007242
If their focus is sculpt, shouldn't the sculpts be figma/figuarts tier? Don't get me wrong, they're not bad, but if they're prioritized over articulation they should be a bit better. Their around the quality of the Gabranth PAK, if you ask me, which again isn't bad.

>In 'canon' yes, you're not wrong. But the figures are based on what we can see on screen, so...we get that.
So then... what am I supposed to do with the red "Big Chap"? Just standing around is pretty boring.

I have 2 of them and with the joints like they are I can only dream of getting that pose out of it

That reminds me, I still need to open my GITD Xeno as soon as I get a proper display stand for him and albino. Any QC issues I need to be prepared for? Obviously hot water/hairdryer the joints, but anything else?

They're agender, except the Queens obviously. But the albino drones might be males, since they don't really exist.

Why don't mine seem to have this kind of flexibility? Is it like a requirement to take some heat to it? I also had an idea. Would oiling the joints help make them less stiff? I assumed that they would just need some breaking in, but I'm starting to get the impression that it's pretty much a requirement to loosen them up somehow.
>>
>>6007674
Didn't had to apply any extra effort to get extreme posings out of my Dog Alien, maybe the joints on yours are just a bit stiff? Could happen i guess, in which case i believe a blow dryer would come in handy, never did it to my Dog or AvP warrior, but it did help with my Aliens Warrior s bit.

Recently picked up Vasquez, very very impressed with her. She looks fantastic and I'm amazed the smart gun's armature works as well as it does. I only wish they'd put the "adios" on her smart gun, like on the promo images.

Definitely going to grab the Hudson/Hicks two-pack when it comes out, and I hope we get Drake.
>>
>>6007674

I didn't have to apply any heat to the AvP figures at all, they actually moved right out of the box like that. Love them to hell and back.

Thanks Anon, and yeah, crawling Dog is one of my favorite poses, i often leave it in a hibernating pose of sorts though since it takes less room this way, but it's less impressive.

"new figure", I mean. Hopefully there'll be more brand new stuff but we don't know.

Now that I look at it again, that makes no fucking sense. My temple guardian towers over my falconer pred which by itself was a bigger pred than the original design, so that would make the AVP preds around 8.5 feet tall, which is just too damn tall. They didn't feel taller in the AVP movies but I can believe they were bulkier.
>>
>>6002953
>>6002954
This will be my first NECA Pred. Looks great.
>>
>>6009889
It's probably gonna just be Ed and Ash.
Maybe a rerelease of Henrietta.

With Ed they can reuse most of the farewell to arms Ash body so he'd be cheap to make. You can already see theyre reusing the upper arm of Ash for Ed.
So I doubt they do a completely new sculpt and tooling for any of the other deadites
>>
>>6009958
well, it really isn't fair to compare the predators super/black predators to the avp predators, they were made many years apart as it is.
>>
Why does anyone order directly from NECA? Shipping is nearly $7 per figure! And they don't bundle your figures when charging you, so you really do have to pay it per figure.

Thats fucking ridiculous. I'll just wait a week or two and get it from TRU with free shipping.
>>
>>6010588
First and only time I did it was for Hero and Value Stop Ash because I thought they'd be a bitch to find at my local TRU when they released.

I was wrong, I see the full wave every time I go.
>>
>>6009861
I really hope we get a few new heads with the Ultimate Hero Ash. at least one serious head.

I dig the blue highlights on the flesh, they really make the gribbly detail pop.

That's based! Actually glad that i waited for this version.

This looks pretty rad. Which Predator is it based on? I'm a newb and they all really look the same to me.

Not that anon, but I thought I'd throw in some of my photos for the "crawling Alien" discussion. I had my Grid Alien posed like this for quite some time without ever needing to heat up the joints (the only heating it required was to straighten out the fingers since they were warped in the package).

As an aside, I currently have my Dog Alien in this pose with all four legs and tail off the ground. Though not a crawling pose and more like it's perched/sitting up like a dog (since anon here has shown it can do it too >>6007364) I thought I'd post it anyway to give you some ideas.

Also I forgot to mention, I didn't have to twist Grid's torso to achieve these poses >>6013794 >>6013802 rather its legs can actually go that far and still maintain its balance.
>>
>>6012858
>they went through the trouble of sculpting and painting on a translucent dome
Yeah they did. Apparently that was one of the added changes they've made along with the cut off tail.

Yes, it's in stock on TRU.com, has been for a week or two now.

just... Why couldnt NECA be the ones to get the rights to Fallout?... Why Funko?

I guess Funko is easier to work with maybe? or Bethesda just shared a similar shitty vision with Funko? Not that I know how each company works, but NECA has said they have tried negotiating with Bethesda.

Is Funko doing a wave 2?

No clue. They havent said anything about it, but ive seen them pegwarm and go on clearence around here .

So... There was blizzcon and all that...
Wasnt a diablo reveal at all?

So I guess it will take a year or more to get a reveal
