Old Thread: >>6171973
My, my, my, all these Toy Fair reveals, I do believe my wallet has a case of the vapors!
how much will the freddy puppet cost?
If you need the AvP Elder, he is in stock on TRU.com, right now. Along with the Hudson and Hicks 2-pack.
NECA's light up stands appear to have a rotating base, as well as multiple colors (and a strobe effect).
Uhhh, what else...they're saying the "juvenile" turtles will be in their own pack with some more accessories for the 18".
Also their 18" Catwoman looks fucking amazing. I really hope that it gets made into a 7" someday. It's also in stock on TRU.com.
The 18" Raph is on the NECA store, along with Predator series 17, all of them, since TRU only put up Elder so far.
>tfw want the NECA Batman but not the joker alien
>tfw want the Superman but not the alien he comes with
>tfw the Rocky reveal that Randy hyped up for a week is fucking lame
Having said that, looking forward to the Predator re-releases, Jungle Demon and the Evil Dead two pack.
I just like to complain.
>>6194200
Buy the 2-packs and then sell off the aliens. Army builders and customizers and people that only wanted the aliens but not the DC characters will totally buy them offa you man.
>>6193723
Doing some quick comparison here, that's a repaint of the AvP Warrior with new digigrade legs. Those lower half legs do look like Resurrection ones though so maybe we are seeing a portion of the Resurrection Xeno indeed.
>>6194200
I have the opposite problem I want the aliens and not the super heroes
>People think the Mezco Ash head is better than the NECA Ash head
eeeeehhhhh
I didn't even realize he has an articulated mouth, and also according to randy the necrinomicon is articulated so you can have it opened or closed
>>6194376
AvP Xeno was just a plantigrade version of the Ressurection design though, right?
>>6194713
Mark Hamill has not aged well...
Is the HOTS series kill? I just want a generic big red demon
>>6194846
Forgot pic
>>6194846
Thrall was there, so we have 3 of the 5 of the proposed wave, and one old digital sculpt. Should at least get this last group, though I'd hope for more.
>>6194713
Mick Jagger?
>>6194702
That looks great honestly, better than the other releases of younger Ash at least
>>6194873
Who else is supposed to be in this next wave? Still no Johanna I bet :(
I don't visit these threads often, but are they doing anything with Evil Dead lately?
Bought the Ash vs Evil Dead figures when those came out and liked them.
>>6194702
>People think the Mezco Ash head is better than the NECA Ash head
I think they both equally don't look like Bruce. Well, they kinda do, but its like they're based on one of the AoD comics rather than his actual likeness. Looks "like" him but not LIKE him ya know?
I'm getting both though so it doesn't matter. AvED heads still the only ones that look like tiny Bruce heads.
>>6194034
Excited for the pork rind and baby turtle accessories!!! Those pizza slices are looking kinda mushy though. Expected a little better for the scale and for how good the sculpts on the Turtles themselves are.
>>6195135
Literally right above you.
>>6195328
I hope these have better QC than the previous figures. Better yet, if they re-released the previous figures with better QC I'm sure to get myself another Pyro.
>>6195343
holy crap that looks awful
>>6195328
I dont give a shit how these look fucking fuck finally my collection will be DONE
>>6195277
cook your own mini pizza for them
>>6195495
I dont think the figma Portal bots will do outstanding enough to do the TF2 crew.
That being said Id buy the TF2 crew as figmas in a heartbeat.
>>6195522
Yea i agree, I meant the NECA figs are the only way to get a full crew realistically
>>6194058
Finally, some news about this guy. I was almost worried they cancelled him.
>>6195548
Same. Wish they would've had updates on Diablo or the Brightwing/Murky combo.
>>6195328
They just gave up on posing Scout and Sniper, it was the same thing with Pyro and Soldier.
>>6195396
At the very least give Spy and Engineer a redo.
They were a fucking mess and never got Blue variants.
>>6195522
I would buy the Figma TF2 figures so fast.
It's hard to imagine a Figma as big and chunky as the Heavy, though. He'd cost a fortune in plastic and paint apps alone...
>>6195328
WHAT
HOLY FUCK
I just looked over at my collection earlier today and lamented that it would never be complete.
>>6194058
>See this
>"Oh man that looks great! I bet they even fixed up Rayn-"
>mfw
Sylvannas and Thrall look amazing
I don't really know why, but the only thing I really want from NECA's reveals is that Ashy Slashy puppet.
>>6196247
That would be a solid buy, honestly.
>>6195277
>are looking kinda mushy though
Sounds accurate for Domino's Pizza in the 80s...
So since NECA seems to be able to do their own versions of Marvel and DC characters, any chances of us getting decent-sized "default" turtles with colored bandanas with knotted belts?
So I get this alien had a somewhat small role.
What's it do other than have a big head?
If no one has info/isn't willing to part it least let me know what "kind" of alien it is, I thought it was a praetorian but it ain't like the old avp game type unless this is the modernized take
>>6196529
>What's it do other than have a big head?
The same thing every other alien does in the franchise?
>>6196547
....WHAT makes it stand out from the rest is what I meant
>>6195345
Finally, the Doctor. The only guy I ever played. Also goes well with the Red Heavy I got.
>>6196529
Well when we see it in the comics its by the eggs and it stays round the eggs and trys to protect them so I guess its like the praetorian. It looks jokerized doesn't it? I can't recall it doing anything remarkable.
>>6195343
So... I'm happy that the line mat be back finally....
But will snipper have 2 heads.... Or will the glasses be an accessory....?
On any case, It may be coming out just because the 10 anniversary of the game us coming out
>2017
>still no updated Predalien
And this is why most of the action figure collecting community literally laughs at Neca
>>6196715
they still haven't even done a facehugger figure.
>>6196715
Requiem was an insulting pile of dogshit though.
>Xenomorphs run around an earth town doing slasher stuff.
And before you say that the original movie was a slasher flick, it was an intergalactic horror movie. Having them run around doing generic slasher shit is like if Freddy or Jason went into space to terrorize aliens.
Wait....
>>6196721
Figure size or life size?
>>6196479
I'd say the chances are good. It's obvious that they are chomping at the bit to find loopholes in licensing agreements to do stuff they want (DVD Batman is an obvious example, now the VS figures). They just need an opportunity to do so. Maybe with a bluray release of the original movie? Would be awesome to get a special edition that comes with a 4-pack of the Turtles.
>>6196757
I really just want colored bandanas comic turtles or better yet, 2K3/IDW appearances.
The Kenner tribe is so cool
>>6194058
Im still waiting for Silvanas and Raynor to come out.
And they are showing trall already.
>>6195328
What if they sell them in a three pack?
Because the title is "the final 3"
Instead of each having their own lable
>>6197079
Randy has said that they would visit AVPR again at 2018 at its earliest.
>>6196715
>And this is why most of the action figure collecting community literally laughs at Neca
Hey cool meme man, really classic one you went with there.
>>6196749
6" scale.
Well, that'll help you get to sleep at night.
>>6197182
Joke's on you, Neca figures are 7".
Who's going to join the new Neca club subscription service? You get a unique figure each year.
>>6197938
I probably will. Just because...I mean I'm going to buy the figures anyway, and if this means I get them and a bonus thing, why the fuck not?
>>6197938
I was tempted, but there's no discount for buying the whole wave together and shipping is almost 17 dollars. Equals $85.81 for a wave that would cost 70ish dollars from BBTS with warehouse shipping. That would add up quick. Not to mention you're forced to buy everything, and the next wave is Resurrection, which means yet another ripley you'd have to buy. Just doesn't seem worth it in the end.
>>6196757
You know what would be a good loophole?
Get the license to make 7' toys for the "Coming Out of Their Shells" movie, scale the movie figures down, and give them removable cloth clothing.
>>6194058

How did you do that? I can't find it on the website at all...
>>6198165
some guy posted it on their twitter.mobile only for some reason.
>>6198181
That's so fucking weird. I found all 3 of the new Predator figures on TRU's mobile site, in stock. But if I use Firefox or IE, only Elder shows up, no matter how much I search, or even use Google.
>>6196529
It's from the free comic book day comic for the on going aliens: defiance series. It's in a few panels where it and two other warrior xenomorphs try to kill Hendricks and Hollis before Davis blows them out of the air lock. It's a short story and it's in a comic with serenity and hellboy
>>6198400
Forgot pic
>>6196721
Yes they did ... Current kenner series has a literal face hugger figure
>>6198405
That's a facehugger queen. I'm talking about the plain facehuggers from the films.
>>6198405
That's an old shiposting bait, Anon, just ignore.
>>6198414
I know lol I was hoping it wasn't that guy but I see it is ... We had a thread or two that didn't have much shit posting so the trolls are rolling back in
>>6198190
Toys R Us' mobile site is out of synch with their desktop site. The same thing happened with their GI Joes last year; you could buy them on the mobile site but they wouldn't even show up on desktop.
>>6198407
Bishop came with a facehugger, they're in the creature pack and the egg packs. The non-Kenner queen facehugger is slated for the next creature pack. What are you talking about?
>>6198459
Randy said that's not a figure. You're wrong.
Just pre-order the Xenomorph and "New Creature" from bigbadtoy store. I hope the new creature looks cool (I've seen the concept latex/animation mask thing. Missed out on the deacon (Little fuckers like 1000000 trillion dollars now) and I sort of need an xenomorph in my collection. Hopefully the new guy has a cool look.
>>6198502
The Deacon was a gimped piece of shit, though. You didn't miss much.
>>6198518
Some of us want every unique xeno available .. I know they aren't always the best but it's nice to have one of every kind
>>6198518
Any leaks to what the new dude looks like?
Looks pretty weird my dude if THIS is how it looks.
Anyone else see a dick on the middle one... Truly an improvement on the design.
On the last thread Anon suggested that this will be the new Resurrection xeno, what do you guys think?
The legs and hand are new for sure, body and head are just AvP warrior, but legs and hands aside i'm not sure how much different from Resurrection the AvP warrior is.
>>6198545
For comparison.
>>6198556
>>6198560
yeah, just realised the head as similarites but still not nearly the same.
>>6196271
I don't know if a price has been stated for it yet, but yeah. I never thought for a second they'd make a replica of the puppet, but I'm stoked.
>>6197938
I signed up its weird that they dont have you create a login though. Does this mean we have to buy the 1/4 scale shit?
>>6198545
I wasn't just theorizing, they said so on Twitter.
>have to buy two figures to get the one you want
Why is this allowed?
Bats and Supes are locked in for me. More excited for having cloth capes again. Plastic capes are gay.
>>6198735
No, the FAQ specifically states that they have 15 alien figures coming out in 2017, that's 5 waves of 3. So it's just the basic waves.
>>6198865
That's ok i guess, maybe they will just re-do the jaw since the rest is ready.
New pics of the Big (Headed) guy.
>>6199388
Pretty nice. I love its toothy grin and general head shape. Those feet look like a balance nightmare though.
>>6198545
That's actually a pretty decent Supes. I dig it.
>>6199390
> Those feet look like a balance nightmare though.
Isolation Xeno came with a stand. Assuming that will be the case again, since those feet and legs are incapable of supporting their self.

Arthas retool.
No next articulation.
Next to no elbow bend.
This is the best non-statue thrall we will ever get.
>>6199688
You're not serious are you? You do know Thays not a finished piece, right?
>>6199474
Spotted the kid who never got to enjoy KB Toys in all its glory.
>>6199688
mmm, even if is a retool, it look fine.
the arms dont have the chain mail, and the fabric on the croach is made of plastic it seem.
He will have limited articulation... but.... I wasnt expecting more articulation with thouse proportions really....
This is fine...
>>6199713
>You're not serious are you?
Yes.
>You do know Thays not a finished piece, right?
I just posted the finished production sample from the neca website. Do you really expect them to make any huge changes to the mold at this point?
http://necaonline.com/2017/02/heroes-of-the-storm-7-scale-deluxe-action-figure-thrall/
>>6199755
How does this look like worst articulation as arthas?
because the skirt?
maybe, but im expecting it to have flexible plastic or something that allow him to move as much as arthas.
>>6199743
So you're making baseless assumptions without having seen the figure in person. Why?
>>6199775
This.
In fact, weren't people freaking out about the articulation on that figure too before it came out?
>>6199775
>How does this look like worst articulation as arthas?
Because it has no neck articulation and worse elbow articulation.
>>6199780
>So you're making baseless assumptions
How is it baseless? you can see the fucking picture right there.
>without having seen the figure in person. Why?
I dont have to see shit to able to smell it.
>>6199866
To me it look like the head have articulation, sure will be obstructer by the hair there.
And for the elbow articulation...
Maybe, But it could pretty much do the same "almost 90" basic degree elbow.... and if its lamer... well... at least the leg articulation look fine...
>>6199875
>"almost 90"
I assume by "almost 90" you mean "45", because thats the most arthas has, and thrall will have even less than that. I mean, I get that they are going for sculp over articulation, but mcfarlane has been doing that since the 90's and look where that has gotten them.
>>6199889
And you don't even know that for sure. Quit complaining until the toy actually gets released.
>>6199688
Why are you complaining about this now when others in the wave were in the same boat sans the shitty female and Illidan?
>>6199889
to mee it look like have place to bend the arm at least like arthas, there is that gap that fit the bicept, letting it bend extra.
we can approche it carefully, but im pretty sure it will be like arthas articulation.
>>6199396
>>6199397
Meh give me a praetorian.
This thing can fuck off.
>>6200117

Are the 18' turtles only available in USA?

I'd love to, but it seems to be a US only thing...
>>6195328

>>6200405
Sorry you suck at posing your toys.
How often does NECA produce a second run of figures? Or is it once the initial shipment's out that's it, they don't make more.
>>6199688
>NECA
>retooling Predators since 1998
>>6195328
I need source please
>>6194846
Who else released something like this guy? Does it have good articulation and size?
>>6200478
Stiches would be comparable.
Stitches has GREAT articulation, detail and doesn't feel flimsy at all.
>>6199743
>Do you really expect them to make any huge changes to the mold at this point?
they did that with 84 godzilla
>>6200302
Do they make you supply a barcode number or anything to prove you own it? I threw away all the packaging and stuff already.
>>6200570
No, they didn't even need a photo or anything from me.
>>6200469
They do it relatively often but what it usually is is the figure will be outright rereleased in a new wave
For example the Alien 3 dog Xeno was released in like wave 3 but was recently rereleased in wave 9 I think
>>6200469
Depends on the Demand. Off the top of my head:
Ed209
Alien Queen
Hicks and Hudson
Dog Alien
The 4 Dutch figures.
All of them have or are being rereleased soon.
>>6200469
It happens occasionally, but not enough that you should rely on it.
What do you guys think the Exclusive Alien Club figure will be?
Im going all in that its Burke.
>>6200786
I'd expect a repaint, but I truly can't guess. I already bought wave 11 from them yesterday, so I guess I've started this little roller coaster ride.
>>6200786
No way it's going to be a unique mold. The back lash plus the cost would be too high.
>>6194846
I feel really hope to god this series isn't dead. I need fucking Skeleton King.
>>6194846
>Blizzard was clearancing out the first two waves for like 8 dollars each

May I ask where friendo?
>>6200985
Black friday sale on their site
>>6200922
They should have went for the Overwatch license, Blizzard's other games are dated now.
>>6200786
Have they put the gold xeno in a wave yet?
>>6199388
>>6199396
I thought that the red pics just hid the fact that the top of the dome was colored different than the body
>>6198401
... But no, they make an obscure comic alien then they don't even follow the color scheme of it ... I was most looking forward to have one that wasn't just all one damn color... Hell it's not even sleek black like the comic
... I mean I'm just bitching and I'll still get it .... But fuck neca I expect better of you than this
>>6201544
none of the xenos they have released have been purely black.
>>6201544
I'm particularly ok with it, will fit well my hive, but i guess you could say it doesn't follow the original colors if you preffer it black.
>>6201562
I have a sleek black big chap. And they released a black warrior ... Although I only have the blue one so I can't attest to how black it is
>>6201616
It's the dome that bothers me more ... It being all one color makes it harder to distinguish between the other xenos... And this one is a different looking one and why you wouldn't follow the original design I have no idea ..... I mean it's like making a black Ripley or a green power loader ... It makes no sense to change the colors just because
But fine what ever I don't want to be that guy that endlessly bitches about shit because I just can't deal... I'm.still going to get it because it's a unique one with the head and all ... And I'm sure I'll like it just fine ...just disappointed is all
>>6201640
>I mean it's like making a black Ripley or a green power loader
Its nothing like that at all, though. Frankly, you sound massively autistic, and the colors change in the lighting for various reasons anyway. This is way more like how people were bitching about how the Alien Queen had blue in it, when that was what the model was like anyway, or whatever. It just looked off because of the way the lighting was in the movie.
I don't know what exactly you expect for NECA to do. Most of the Xenos are a solid color--usually black--anyway, with some highlights no matter what the source or media is. NECA has given them all highlights of some form to bring out the detail and stuff, which is about all you can do.
>>6194853
oh my dear lord that is an immidaite buy and probably a preorder (which i never do.)
I spent the later half of my childhood playing d2 24/7. was completely addicted for 10+ years.
all i ever wanted was a badass diablo figure, and there it is.
now I just gotta hope we get amazon nova figure and preferably d2 barbarian
then they need to put various other prime/lesser evils into hots so I can get those too.
also hell bovine. i would army build the FUCK out of hell bovines.
>>6201653
That Diablo does look freaking badass!
The one i want the most though is Azmodan, that guy would be huge and i bet it still would have great articulation.
I need those Batman/Alien and Batman/Predator sets
and I don't know what I'll do with an Ash puppet but I need it!
>>6201144
They have the Heroes of the Storm Licence.
Which to this day have Tracer, Sarya and Lucio.
And on the future could get more characters, so If they make a new wave, they should put a tracer just because damn public will love her lesbian butt.
>>6201687
> nu-blizzard
> nipple piercing
>>6201687
anything that came out of diablo 3.
when it released after i played through i thought to myself "There was really only one character that stood out as absolutely fitting to the diablo universe made by blizz north..." later came to find out that miniboss was one of the few things taken directly from the original d3 designed by bnorth
inb4 every diablo 1/2/3 hero is made into 1/6 scale and accessory packs provide various armor styles to equip to get the look you want
i'd have no choice but to buy buy buy if they made Hell Bouvine, Mephisto, Durial, and nipple tassel Andarial for hot gluing.
that last one was a joke.
no it wasnt.
>>6202141
nipple piercings have been a thing since at least d2.
Andarial had nipple piercings chained together, and the big ogre guys had fucking chains with mace-style spike balls on the end
http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/monsters/act1-andariel.shtml

PSA REGARDING THE NECA CLUB THING.
MAKE SURE YOU ARE ACTUALLY LOGGED IN TO YOUR ACCOUNT.
I MISTAKINGLY THOUGHT I WAS LOGGED IN AND ORDERED A CASE. THE FACT THAT THEY DONT HAVE SOME TYPE OF AUTHENTICATOR IS SCREWY.
I was able to get it cleared up through emails (ordered through my account and they canceled the non account purchase).
But you really shouldn't be able to buy something that they will track without being logged in.
Caps lock for attn.

I think a nice ice blue Alien will be the perfect adversary for my Lava Planet Predator.
>>6202430

>>6202430
I just want a whole rainbow of xenomorphs.
>>6202528
They can call it the "Gaylien" box set.
>>6202549
They're already composed entirely of penises and vaginas. They transcend our puny comprehension of sexuality and genders.
Who is "young blood" supposed to be? It looks like scar before he marked the helmet. It isn't any of the preds in the flashback, we already have them. And it isn't the generic press at the end because they are unmasked.
>>6202792
Its a Predator standing with the others on the top of the pyramid in the flashback scene. He's holding up the spear with the impaled Xeno head, but you only see him for a couple seconds before they blow everything up.
>>6195919
I thought Engi was very well done aside from his gloved hand having little articulation.
>>6201870
Blizzard dictates what NECA gets to make and I doubt they want a $20 NECA Tracer on the market cannibalizing the sales of their $70 figma Tracer.
Any news on new Godzilla, Kong, Pacific Rim or Kaiju figures?
>>6205206
Smart business would be to have multiple options available at different price points in order to allow product to be purchased by people at multiple income levels.
Why do you think you see numerous different lines at different prices for licences like Marvel, DC, Star Wars, etc?
>>6205307
This.
That's why they license out different scales, and why NECA's able to do certain things with figures under certain legal obligations.
>>6205217
They're not doing Kong or any more Pacific Rim.
>>6194019
How are those 1/4 Big Chaps? There's one missing one of those back tubes on eBay, but for the price, I may grab it anyway if it's any good.

>>6205937
I have the second version with swivel/hinge hips and it's pretty cool. Not sure if it's really an upgrade from the version with cut hips since you can't really do much with it due to its weight. It's basically a big version of the 7" one and it's very cool to have.

If it's any consolation, Batman vs. Alien was one of the worst crossovers anyway. Superheroes with no killing under any circumstances rules really shouldn't be paired with that shit. He wouldn't even let the fucking marines shoot them.

Figure itself looks amazing. But the unmasked head looks comedic at best. Why are his lips suddenly highlighted when the masked head's aren't? His jaw is also a goddamn mile wide.
Even though the execution of that extra head is shit imo, I do love the idea that they're getting into swappable heads in Qscale.

I honestly don't even mind paying double for it and a generic predator, that Batman will go from the box straight to fight Scarface, hell, even goddamn Robocop will look gorgeous fighting him!
>>6206141
The xeno is retarded. Batman looks great though.
>>6206150
Wait... the masked head has red ears, but the mask accessory has ear holes, so does that mean Matt paints his ears red when hes in costume?
>>6195328
HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
I haven't played TF2 regularly in years but I am buying these sons of bitches ASAP.
>>6200353
I need the BLU Spy, though, I held out on Spy because of the shitty QC and because I wanted a different-colored one.
>>6206686
he probably wears high tech ear muffs that tune out high decibels in all frequencies in case anyone wants to attack his ultra sensitive hearing
>>6206202
Are you serious? Bruce, they're fucking animals. I can understand not killing a Predator but damn
>>6207520
>Bruce, they're fucking animals. I can understand not killing a Predator but damn
Seriously, the Predators have like honor and shit and can be reasoned with. The xenos are more like a virus than animals even, they're not even part of a food chain.
>>6207520
>>6207525
>can understand not killing a Predator
are you guys kidding me? In every example of Predators hunting humans we have seen so far the only thing that stopped them from making yet another trophie was killing them.
In fact that not only stops the one trying to kill you, it also makes the rest of the clan respect you.
>>6207531
There are several instances that disagree with you.
1/4 scale goodness
1/4 scale warrior
>>6207891
Holy shit, that three headed xeno-cerberus. Figure when?
>>6207891
Hmm it's kinda cool that they're doing this, but it's also equally lazy since it's just the old Kenner space base pack in.
A more realistic version would've been better, and fit in nicely with their more realistic figures.
>>6207976
>but it's also equally lazy since it's just the old Kenner space base pack in.
How is it lazy? It'd cost money to sculpt them, and this way it's more like what was released originally. This makes perfect sense.
Also it was UK only, so it's great that we finally get something like this in the states.
>>6208096
>It'd cost money to sculpt them
Sculpt what?
>>6207531
The black girl from the first AVP survives because she earns the respect from Scar since she saves his life by killing a Xeno
A similar thing happens to Machiko in the AVP comics and books; she later becomes an honorary Predator
Batman and a Predator could unite against a common threat, causing Bruce to earn the Pred's respect and have him leave in peace (especially if the Pred gets his trophy kill) whereas the xenos are literally like rabid dogs
>>6207531
Oh and one more, in the first AVP a Pred (I think Scar) is about to pass over Weyland Bishop because he sees he's terminal and has no visible weapons so he isn't a threat. Then when Bishop grabs a weapon, he kills him because he's now a threat.
>>6208323
>The black girl from the first AVP
I wish she'd get a figure. With the xeno tail spear and head dome shield.
>>6208329
>Then when Bishop grabs a weapon, he kills him because he's now a threat.
He doesn't even just "grab a weapon" he literally yells at the Predator and fucking torches him with a flamethrower.
I'm not even necessarily sure he saw him as a sport-worthy hunt at that point, more than he was just pissed off.
>>6208495
That wouldn't be to hard for Neca to do i believe, worsr part would probablybe be to get the likeness rights, hell, her Xeno accessories would probably be freaking easy.
A Weyland figure would also be easy and it's Nice to have yet another Bishop (i'd preffer the AvP game Weyland though).
Anyway, Randy already said the AvP line is pratically done with wave 17 and i'm pretty sure they don't want to pay any likeness right by now.
>>6208495
Dude, same. It'll never happen, because they're not gonna get the likeness rights and make all-new tooling for a character from a movie most people only liked the monster designs from, but I'd buy it if it did.
>>6208684
They've been talking about making Machiko forever, if they do, and if she sells as well as I think, I wouldn't be entirely shocked if they started making more human girls and eventually got to the more meh ones like her. Always have hope.
>>6208710
They can do Machiko because they don't have to pay anyone for likeness rights, though.
>>6208713
I'm just saying, if the human girls start flying off the shelves, they might try to get the rights (key word here) eventually.
>>6208725
Who are these "human girls" in the Predator universe you're even talking about? There's Machiko...uh, that girl from AvP.....maybe that Kurosawa chick or whatever from the arcade game, I guess.
Not really a big pool of female characters I can think of.
>>6208796
There's this waito piggu Predator girl, I guess.
>>6208096
I never said they should sculpt it. I said they should make an updated version that looks more realistic.
>>6200119
Christ, nostalgia hit me hard. I played the hell out of that game.
>>6208912
That would be stupid. And it wouldn't match up with the Kenner style packaging at all, which is why they're doing it in the first place.
Local tru just stocked a ton of the avp gitd xenos.
Are they good?
>>6209708
Dont know if theyre good but i know the ones by me sold out stupid fast.
>>6195328
I almost gave up hoping.
Almost.
>>6209708
Yes. It's the AvP mold so it's astounding right off the bat, but yeah, if you like glow in the dark stuff, or even funky colored xenomorphs, it's a really cool figure.
>>6208329
Don't forget the kid with candy in Predator 2. Preds don't slaughter children (unless it's children of a Queen Xeno).
>>6209724
And the pregnant cop who is spared.
So, Randy said they were looking into giving Ahab the Ultimate treatment. Pretty good news since he is one of the few con exclusives I actually want
>>6209980
That would be awesome. Ahab was a pretty unique looking Predator, and he was a huge bro in the comics.
>>6209980
Seems a bit pointless considering he's just a jungle hunter repaint with a modified headsculpt.
Neca should re-release Big Red, Wasp and Albino with updated bodies if they're wanting to give folks who missed out another chance. Would be nice since they're doing Batman vs Predator figures now.
>>6210193
>Seems a bit pointless considering he's just a jungle hunter repaint with a modified headsculpt.
>Neca should re-release Big Red, Wasp and Albino with updated bodies
How is that any different? Those are also just Jungle Hunter repaints, except they don't even have different headsculpts.
>>6210211
>How is that any different?
It's not. I'm saying if they're going to re-release old predators they should do the other most sought after ones too.
Fuck it, might as well re-do the whole Lost Tribe while they're at it.
>>6210335
Randy said they aren't revisiting neither the Lost Tribe nor Big Red's clan anytime soon. Ahab is a special because he never saw retail release and has enough stuff to justify an Ultimate version.
https://twitter.com/NECA_TOYS/status/835642329394470912
Seven Figures?
>>6210348
That's easy, four player characters plus 3 boss xenos, done.
>>6210359
No, one of the figures would be the Mad Predator, the blue one
>>6210553
It was always a long shot anyway, with how much unique moulding she would need. Even if they cheated and mostly reused Vasquez she'd need a new chest and head, and who would they even sculpt her head after?
That said, just reuse any fucked up Terminator head sculpt for Dutch and you're already started
Hope everyone who wanted a Hudson figure got them by now. Bill Paxton just passed away.
>>6210553
Eh. I just hope cyborg Dutch and the game-exclusive Xeno variants like Crystalsis and Razor Claws can get made, seeing they're technically Fox characters.
>>6211406
Oh fuck you, I had to look that up... What the fuck man...
>>6211423
Only Lynn is owned by Capcom
https://twitter.com/NECA_TOYS/status/835659171613782016
>>6211406
I didn't believe it when I first heard .... But shit man game over man game over
>>6211576
Lance Henrikson also
>>6207531
Did you read the comic? He beats him almost to death, then the other predators show up and make him commit seppuku, then give Bruce a sweet predator sword before going back into space
>>6211787
For a second there I thought you were saying Lance Henrikson also passed. Had me worried.
I've got an opportunity to pick up a dutch and jungle hunter for about 35 bucks. should I do it or wait for the ultimate hunter, dutch is a just a bonus for me
>>6195328
WAIT SERIOUSLY?
MY HEAVY GETS DOKTOR?
THIS IS A GOOD DAY.

HAH, ITS TEAM TIME DOKTOR

>Wanting green jesus
I was waiting to get the Hicks / Hudson 2 pack ... Suppose it's time now
>>6212153
>>6212175
now we must figure out the best way to make a medibeam
>>6212310
Neca isn't going to make normal Jesus.
So a green one is the best you can ask for
For anyone who still hasn't...
If you have an affinity for this movie do not wait and just do it.
This is seriously one of the best things neca has produced in a very long while.
I'm going to end up with all of them now even though I told myself only one
Sigh...
Rip wallet
>>6215513
Oh shit they nailed the spots on his skin unlike Donnie.
New trailer is up for covenant .... The new protomorph is looks familiar yet different
>>6216055
>Oh shit they nailed the spots on his skin unlike Donnie.
>unlike Donnie
I don't know if this is a troll or not, but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrjwaqZfjIY
The new protomorph looks like a smaller fleshy/pale version of the Deacon, only it has the tail and spines like a normal Xeno.
Kind of makes me wonder what the Deacon would have looked like if it actually matured.
>>6216335
More pics, so we have a better idea of what NECA will be offering.
>>6216210
Also digging the new Xeno. Looks like the Big Chap with limbs as long as the Dog Alien.
>>6216352
Seriously, those limbs look freakishly long.
Also the trailer for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBUc4JVl2-c
>>6215513
Tell me about the range of motion.
>>6216335
pretty sure I spotted deacon in the trailer too. unless that's the same xeno, it looked a lot like deacon when I watched it.
>>6216335
Aw, he's cute.
>>6216366
I think it's the same one, so unless it's some kind of new transformation, it seems different from the Deacon.
Only reason I said that the Deacon is different is because they said that the Deacon was a unique case of a Xeno born from an Engineer, and how it wasn't actually a prototype Xeno despite what a lot of people originally thought.
It would definitely explain why the Deacon had such a different morphology and design since it was more of special case. These new xenos from Covenant are probably the same "Neomorph" that were leaked way back.
>>6216396
Adding onto this, the Deacon was originally going to be a thing of its own (called an "Ultramorph" in concept stages), where by being born from an Engineer, it would have been huge in size.
>>6216225
Some doneltellos shipped with overly dark spots on the chin area. This may be what he was referring to
>>6216415
They kept changing and changing its design but since they never needed to show it growing up as an adult creature, we just ended up with what we got in the film.
>>6216422
Following the film's release Dark Horse also had their own ideas for a comic on how it would have looked like if it grew up. Sadly it got canned because Fox didn't want them coming up with their own stuff before the Prometheus sequel.
>>6216441
That comic still came out, but yes, they had to pretty much redo everything from scratch.
It was the Fire and Stone series from 2014.
>>6216823
that comic with the retarded mutated predator???
though i remember ahab being a badass
>>6216422
That looks like it might be using bits of the 'Beluga alien', too. The Beluga was creature in Spaihts' early script that was cut completely from Prometheus. After Holloway is infected (by a type of Facehugger, in this version), a boneless creature tears out of his chest and gets lose on the ship. It develops into the Beluga. The ratcheting jaws used in the Deacon were originally planned for the Beluga.
>>6216823
Meant to say the "adult" Deacon itself got canned but yeah, the comic itself basically got salvaged.
Most of the close-up/body shots of the new Xeno.
>>6216417
It wasn't overly dark at all.
>>6216881
Can't wait to buy a NECA version of top image and have it crawling like that :)
>>6216360
Can't tell if that is a guy in a suit there? Of course the end shot of the Alien from trailer is CGI but maybe Ridley used some practicals in some sections
>>6216352
Yeah I am loving the long arms! Looks perfect!
>>6216881
The CG looks as bad as Alien 3's. I hope they fix that.
>>6217028
At Least I am not the only one who thought this Alien looks cheap. Needs more rendering
How long until NECA announce an Alien Covenant figure?
I WANT NOW PLEASE
>>6217028
Uh...Dog was a puppet using blue/green screen. The only CGI IIRC was the cracking of Dog's head and body from getting doused with water after the lead-pit.
>>6217075
When most people talk about Alien 3 having "bad CGI," many don't realize that most of the movie was done with practical effects and/or puppets. However, the movie DOES look like shit. Due to the rather primitive chroma keying tech used to composite the alien into the shots, it tends to look really bad and fake and shitty. This is even worse if you watch it on Blu-Ray, you can clearly see the poorly cut-out edges on the alien and the mismatched lighting. It's a real shame, cause it sounds like they went to a ton of work building a 1/3 scale puppet and having 4-5 people manually operating it in realtime. Having all that effort amount to this shit-looking footage really sucks.
>>6217004
He said "some" of them.
And the spots on Raphael just look sharper and the coloring/weathering of the underbelly looks so much better on him as well.
>>6217346
For reference of what I was referring to by "too dark"
this is not mine (taken from a random YouTube review for reference) but, I did have one that was even worse off then the one pictured before I returned it for one that had its spots applied a little more naturally.
The usual "paint will vary due to manufacturing process" in effect.
>>6217425
Yeah, that's how mine looks.
>>6216881
That looks very nice, long and thin limbs remind me of Dog Alien, if we get the same articulation this will have some serious posing potential.
>sylvanas date pushed back AGAIN
Why do you do this NECA? WHY
>>6217425
But that's how it's supposed to look.
>>6217811
If they end up canceling her, I'll throw all my Predators in the trash
All I want is Sylvanas and only bought the other fuckers because they were like $5 a piece
>>6216210
I dont know why but i really want to see someone draw a dick on it
>>6218632
Wouldn't that be redundant?
>>6217988
I've been holding off on shipping my pile of loot since november because of her, it's only a funko sylvanas and revo deadpool, but I kinda want to get my hands on them since I paid for them in october.
>>6217811
I am getting less hopeful for it's release.
Anyone else pick up the serpent hunter? I really like it, it's one of my favorite predators now
(also why does every city hunter I buy have the weakest fucking ankles)
>>6223597
I thought about it but ended up passing, really only unique thing is his mask and it's not enough imo to warrant a purchase, trying to cut down on predators since I have so damn many anyways.
Elder is fucking awesome though, surprised he's not a deluxe with all his shit(love his cape).
>>6223615
The biomask was enough for me, only cause i fucking love alien so much. and yeah I was hoping to get an elder next week. does his staff have a collapsed version?
>>6223684
Nope, just the extended version
>>6223810
That's dumb, he collapses the spear and gives it to the girl.
The last thing we see before the predalien reveal is her with the collapsed spear.
>>6223824
Can't really complain, it's already nice with mask, cape and spear
>>6223597
Really excited for Serpent Hunter, the lack of armor makes him look so much more tribal than the others.
>>6223597
>Anyone else pick up the serpent hunter?
Yep, he came in the mail today for me. I honestly love it, but I just started collecting Predator / Alien figures from Neca
I hear the Queen is getting a reissue, I'll be all over that shit.
>>6227238
Yeah, the Queen is fucking amazing
I have a small problem with mine though, one of the bendable crests on its shoulders just won't pop in
Suggestions?
>>6227597
Heat up the hole with a hair dryer.
The combination of the soft hole (from the heat) and the hard plastic ball joint on the crest piece should allow it to pop in more securely. The holes are too shallow though so it'll likely pop out again if you move it too much.
Found this little gem of a comment section on a Serpent Hunter review.
I want one myself. Do the wrist blades come out completely?
>>6227990
Holy fucking cringe.
This isn't the first time I've seen someone begging a youtuber to give them the figure from the review. It's usually 3rd world poo-in-loos doing the begging.
