That figure is canceled.

>>6238379
really? why would they show them at the toy fair and give them a release date just to cancel them?

They're supposed to, but no. I bought a pack of NECA peg bases and it only worked for half of them. The other half had holes that were slightly too big and, ironically, they were the ones I bought the stands for in the first place.

Can't believe they changed them to that awful raw chicken looking translucent plastic.

I already have the single release Hudson and Hicks figures but I was looking forward to getting this two pack for the screaming faces and helmets. Not going to bother now.

>>6238837
It's a more realistic simulation of real human skin, which is sorta translucent. You can probably make it look a little better by combining the two techniques: mix up an acrylic flesh tone close to that and brush some on very thin.

>>6238837
>>6238842
It also equals less paint chipping, which is good.

>>6238842
It looks bad, like they're made out of wax.

Also, bare plastic = cheap looking, this is true in most cases with toys no matter who the character is being portrayed.

>>6238846
Haven't got a single piece of chipped paint on either figure despite them being 3~ years old

Eh, I should have said 'I'm very disappointed' not 'I can't believe it'. I can definitely believe it, I just expect better from Neca, the quality of their shit has been slowly getting better in recent years.

>>6238884
This. Also it makes the whole Aliens cast look a mismatched bunch of fuckups.

Bishop is painted. Frost is painted. The first Hudson and Hicks figures are painted.
Vasquez was painted really well in the promo shots but ended up looking like a slimy mess in the final release.

>>6238891
> slimy mess
I really hate when internet shut ins judge a toy based on photos and videos where they use bright lights for the shoots.

If you go to your local TRU the figures look much better in person because the transluscent plastic looks more realistic, especially with the washes and paint apps they put over it.

>>6238960
I've seen it in person, it looks crap compared to painted figures like the original Hudson and Hicks. Same with Alien 3 Ripley, what a disappointment.

If you call that a brightly lit shot you clearly don't know shit about photography.

Any new leaks on the Neomorphs yet?

I'm hesitant to PO one.

But i do know photography and the light is pointed directly to the toys in order to make it look glossyl ike that.
In normal lighting, it's not going to look like that.

Have some shiny glossy Hasbro plastic that produces more a glare, but doesn't because the lighting is properly defused, which is how most homes are lit.

>>6238837
Shitty photo but this actually makes me curios to get this set now since I prefer the molded flesh tones compared to the originals that were just painted which could look gloppy and flat in certain angles.

Also this >>6238846, I had paint chipping off the articulated sections any time I posed my figures around.


>>6238891
>Vasquez was painted really well in the promo shots but ended up looking like a slimy mess in the final release.
Vasquez looks fine, don't know what you're talking about her being "slimy".

>Same with Alien 3 Ripley, what a disappointment.
That's mainly to do with her face paint (mainly the eyes, lips and cheeks), especially considering how previous Ripley figures has the same molded skin tone and yet their faces turned out much better.

I really like Neca's Marines but i've always thought they work better with their monsters.
Anyway, is there any release date for Raynor yet?

What's up with the sudden price hike on Neca figures in the UK? I'm talking about predators in particular, but it seems to be affecting other lines like alien and terminator as well.

I was in Forbidden Planet last week, they've got Spiked Tail at £31.99, that's fucking crazy money for a kenner tribute figure.
ebay sellers have got the new wave in stock, ranging from £25-30 for basic non-deluxe figures like serpent hunter and young blood.

For an extra £10 or so I could buy myself an import figure, this is getting ridiculous.

>>6245541
Forbidden Planet hikes up all their stores. Usually the kenner tributes are like £25 online at release

At that scale, they shouldn't look like that. The translucent human skin is so miniscule in real life too, and humans aren't glossy and greasy as fuck unless they're sweating.

While I can't speak for Hicks/Hudson since I don't own the new ones, if you've actually held either the original ALIENS Ripley or Vasquez in your hands you'd know they're nowhere near as glossy as you're making them out to be. And even then
>Ripley and the Marines
>implying they weren't sweating like pigs in the movie

I'm surprised that anyone's even acting as if this is new when the Dutch figures that are so sought-after were among the first figures to use this fleshy molding process, where they were even regularly praised for adding a more realistic impression on the figures. With this in mind, people complaining about this should re-consider pre-ordering 90% of the Dutch figures since they'll no doubt be re-releases of the same figures back then.

I'm glad I bought in early. I hadn't even played Bioshock when the first Big Daddy came out, but I bought him and then picked up the first game. Now I have every figure and I'm so glad.

It also sucks cause I just think about what I could've missed out on if I hadn't been proactive in spending money on plastic shit.

>>6249103

That's not true at all. Like, this is the most hyperbolic of hyperbolic generalizations anyone has made in this thread.

And not all Elizabeth figures got a derby paint app, so...again, you're overreacting.

>>6249109
Read what I said again. It's not just the derpy eye paint that's a problem. They consistently fuck up the lip paint as well. Literally EVERY Nova I saw had fucked up lips that betrayed the original decent looking prototype. I went through 40 of them trying to find a decent one before giving up.

I'm not going to be shocked if Sylvanas has the same issue. NECA (and many other lines) have consistently had problems delivering on women.

So my purchases lately are unsurprisingly Predator and Alien-centric. Still waiting on my Raphael to ship from EE (which...apparently won't be happening till June now, wtf).

The newest preds are all great. I would say, be careful with the skirt on Serpent Hunter, as there are some connecting straps that can strain and pull apart if you're too rough on the legs or pull them apart too far, etc.

I'm gonna add some Elmer's glue to Youngblood's left hand so it'll have more friction so I can have him holding the spear up more securely.

And Elder...he's just gorgeous. I love that cape. The material is so soft and hangs nicely.

And I picked up the Hicks and Hudson 2-pack. I have the old figures, including the previous helmeted packs, so this was a redundant purchase on my part.

But I really do think the new plastic is a huge improvement. It looks more natural to me, and I hope they continue to use it in the future on whatever marines we're lucky enough to get later on.

Good purchase for those that missed out though, no question.

I think that's more or less exactly what it is in canon. They take traits from the host, a predator alien has the mandibles and dreads, dog/ox has digigrade legs, a big ass guy probably produces a big ass alien.

Alright, so I'm going a little fucking nuts. Ordered Washington Motorized Patriot, Elizabeth, and a Ladysmith Splicer. With how much I've spent so far, everything averages out to just a little under retail, so that's good I guess.

Looks like there are knockoffs of the Spider Splicer 2 pack figures going for pretty cheap, so I might grab those.
>>6249527
This was my first choice, because the option to have different lights is amazing, but shit they're hard to come by.

Also, getting pretty annoyed when I think I've spotted a good deal on one of these things, only for the figure to be broken or have several missing pieces.

They should do away with the slide out blades in favour for the more sturdy removable ones, at least then if you break them they're easy to swap out.

>>6252152
>The AVP blades aren't flimsy at all.

Nope, but they'll still break if you put any pressure on them. My cat decided to rub her cheek against some and broke them after I first got them. Thankfully that was an easy thing to replace.

I don't have Booker, and the hand definitely can hold something.
The angle really sells it in the picture though, it's not pointed quite straight enough. Though if you cut it her left hand would make a good trigger hand.

>>6259445
>Looks like they went with the cartoony in-game style for Elizabeth

That's because they did. The game went through so many fucking changes before it finally came out, NECA was using outdated models and information by release.

That's why we got a Boys of Silence in the first wave. It had a larger role in the game originally, and by release, it was only in one level and sparingly at that. That's always the risk when it comes to stuff like this.

Males sense, they almost look like they're from two different games/lines. Also between their releases, it seems they stopped painting skin tones and switched to using colored plastic instead.

>>6259842
>a mask that doesnt fit well
I'm curious about this since I actually want to use the mask if I decide to get an Elder. Is it flimsy or a tad oversized or what?

>>6259811
If you do decide to buy one, make sure you buy it in person. Most of the ones I've seen so far have a defect on the mask.

>>6259811

As long as they get out there. And look at all the other products on Blizzard's site, they have a lot of their own products on just as deep a clearance. They probably just ordered lots of excess. Buying from the Blizzard store is hardly my first choice for this kind of product, I'd much sooner go to a store, which is probably what most people who wanted them did. People should just consider this a great opportunity to buy them if they haven't had the chance yet. They're quite good figures, Stitches especially.

Wish some knockoff Big Daddies existed. Coming real close to biting the bullet and shelling out 80 for one.

It's not about giving them more money, it's whether the product is a good bootleg or not. If you're buying it and it's a piece of shit, then you wasted your money.

I still don't know what NECA was going for with this. Not the first thing they've made that they knew would get warped beyond reason in the package, but it just looked terrible.

>>6263724
I think that the color is appropriate, given the fact that Alien blood isn't THAT bright. Still, pretty boring figure, as you can only pose it getting shotgunned or machinegunned

Just found a clan leader at TRU.

Yay or neigh? I love the design but is the figure itself good?

>>6264212
It actually is pretty light. The only times we see it in aliens is in very dark scenes, but iirc you get clear shots of it in alien resurrection and avp movies and it is a bright yellow/green. Especially when the aliens escape in resurrection.

I think the stains it left in alien were that same color, too.

>>6263027

You're going to love the beginning of Burial at Sea 1. It's Rapture before the fall. Everything's awesome. But then you're thrown in Rapture's makeshift prison and then there's the ending. It's dumb. Makes no sense. Adds more plot holes to the story rather than ties things up. But that's not the worst of it.

Then there is Episode 2. You will HAET Episode 2.

It starts out grand as you find yourself in Elisbeth's ideal Paris. It's so goddamed beautiful. But then you're back in ugly Rapture in a hub location of sorts. You're playing as Liz and she's more of a stealthy, Solid Snake type of character. You can't go on a killing rampage because ammo is very, very low and Liz is quite fragile. It's nice to have a bit change in gameplay, but your mileage may vary.

But the ending...

You will RAEG at everyone and everything that happens in the ending. It's a bad end, literally & metaphorically. Pretty much undoes all your hard work you've done in BSI with a slap in the face. We're talking Mass Effect 3 levels of bad ending. Maybe moreso.

Yeah those two dont have anything in common

>>6272476
To be fair, he figures they can point at as good examples of articulation are still woefully inadequate next to the standards most other lines set.

The average level of articulation is exceedingly poor.

>>6272479
You mean the figures of the longest running lines that keep getting articulation upgrades and spawning more figures compared to much shorter lived lines?
Or are you just thinking of figures whose characters don't do extreme poses anyway? I mean, if you like that it's fine but i don't mind having a Arnold figure that doesn't do the splits.

The problem is that neca is all over the damn place with their articulation.

The xenomorphs are probably the best thing they've got, where they did what people wanted and gave them double jointed knees, elbows, ball jointed shoulders and hips, an ab crunch, but then they gave them HORRID ankles and got help you if you want to do anything with the head but move it up or down.

Then you'll get to non-xenomorph figures and suddenly double joints start disappearing, hip articulation goes south fast, ankly pivot is mediocre at best (still typically better than the xenomorphs, though)

Hell ab crunch disappears entirely for a lot of their figures or winds up getting rendered completely worthless like with some of the predators.

They are also the only company I know that still may randomly decide that one figure is gonna just have swivel shoulders in a line where everything else is ball jointed. What the fuck is up with that?

>>6272931
How much more expensive would you expect an xenomorph figure to be with a more functional ankle pivot?

Specifically how much more expensive.

I have to spend $90 to buy 3 action figures from them, that come with hardly any accessories, and nothing cool like swappable faces/hands.

And yeah, what that other guy said about the Articulation being all weird. I hate that. They should work out a standardized systems thats applied to ALL their figures. So it doesnt matter if its a T-800, a Predator, Xeno, Robocop or Ripley, they should all be able to do the exact same poses. Especially for $35 a piece.

Oh, and that extra articulation at the ankle? That would cost like a dollar or two extra. Or nothing at all, given how NECA has been adding more articulation without increasing their prices anyway. Not the $40-50 prices people have been repeating.

>They should work out a standardized systems thats applied to ALL their figures.
Dumb.
They're a collector company that puts the accuracy of the sculpt and paint first and foremost. To make it standard without taking into account what they're sculpting is stupid, especially when a figure doesn't need to have as much articulation.
The figures look as great as they do because they're investing more into making it look good and that's what the majority of buyers want. It's what put them in business and gets them continued support every year.

If a character needs more articulation, yeah, I'd love that and would pay more to get it, but a lot of what they produce aren't characters that do crazyass ninja shit.
Probably my only complaint is that almost none of their figures who have guns can shoot them properly, but almost all lines have this problem. Only Takara's Microman and Mezco's One:12 lines have been able to produce figures that can shoot properly.

>>6273997

>the character doesnt do ninja shit, so they toy shouldnt be able to

Your entire argument is bullshit. People love to pose their figures in all sorts of different ways. They could easily add more joints to their figures and retain sculpts just fine.

Its only their own lazyness, or cost cutting thats holding them back from giving all their figures the same level of poseability.

Im just thankful that they stopped doing all those shitty figures where the legs where solid brick statues with no articulation at all, with the upper body having shoulders and elbow swivels and nothing else.

Either they missed the point in making you buy 3x as many blind boxes to get the figures you actually want or they're actually collector toys with the "fun" of randomly getting a collector toy. Which they are, considering how they're made. You can tell taht their first lines were just shit, because their last line was well done.

But like the Predators, Aliens, and Space Marines, the Appleseed figures aren't very poseable despite all the articulation. Paint apps were precise and everything that needed paint was painted.
Just shows that Hot Toys just fucked up on from just inexperience on the first lines. OF course, they're still not on par with Mezco or McFarlane's collector attempts at 1:18 figures (Hot Toys were actually slightly bigger than 1:18). Sculpts aren't as nice and the paint, while complex, is still not great.

Briarreos is great though. It's hard to fuck up a robot donkey humanoid. Must buy.

Either you aren't familiar with blind box toys or something, but you just d scribed blind box toys.

They were collector toys.
Again, they put in a lot of features you'll only find in collector toys. The fact that the QC was not there is because they were starting off and the their last kit line proves their goal.

Actual IMPORTED candy toys were $3-5, for the action figure type. I remember eurofags on /toy/ 2 years later posting about their Kamen Rider figures being only 7 USD.

I am pretty damn sure they had an MSRP of around $11-$13 when first released.

>>6276131

Well yeah. It looked cool to begin with. It's just a select group of autists that wanted to argue that thought differently.

>>6276169
Going to review sites like mwctoys, they have the prices at $9 and i remember getting them for cheaper than that at my Target for a long while.
so the MSRP was likely that.

Is the Xenomorph Queen getting rereleased in May or something? I keep seeing preorders and shit everywhere.

>>6276516
Yeah, it was so requested that they actually had to rerelease it

>>6276516

Yep, yep. Randy said something about improved structure on it, too, whatever that means.

>>6276131
It's being on my list for a while now, it looks very cool.

>>6276899
Damn, i've always wanted the Queen, that thing is beatiful.

>>6268487
>>6268491
why the FUCK are they over $100?

>>6276293
I actually did the same thing, went to some reviews that listed where to buy them since the McFarlane site overhaul got rid of MSRPs for sold out products. They listed online sellers which were all roughly in that range. having a hard time finding an actual flat out 'this is the official MSRP' any where.

>>6276293
>>6277348
>since the McFarlane site overhaul got rid of MSRPs for sold out products.

I decided to check the wayback engine. Turns out the old product listings did not have an MSRP at all. However I did further digging and managed to find the figures on the online store dated april 2008. They were selling for 12.99

>>6277359
But that's wrong, considering thats their price in 2012.
In 2015 they were 13.99.

The mark up for Halo toys in 2010 was 11.99 at BBTS and they largely charge more than MSRP
McFarlane's own store sold Halo figures in 2013 for $13.99. https://web.archive.org/web/20131006132448/http://www.mcfarlanetoysstore.com/ha4se2mc.html

Considering how cheap toys used to be in 2008 and the pretty giant leaps in 2012 across the board for all companies, there's no way McFarlane toys' MSRP were so pricy. They're actually really bro with their prices.

>>6277188
Brazil dude, the price is not in dolars.

Went to TRU today after work and found a mfkn Keaton Bats out of fuckin no where!
There were 2, I shoulve grabbed both.

>>6277867
Nice.

>>6277867

Super nice! He's shown up once or twice at ours since the initial run. I saw Reeves Superman recently too. It's nice they can still get those out.

Borderline autistic question. Why is the alien line in clamshells while the predator line is cardbacks? I know they are diffo lines but they are complimentary of each other.

>>6279014
Clamshells cost more so since the predators have more accessories/paint/are overall more plastic, they have to use the cheaper cardbacks as a cost cutting measure.

Pulled the trigger on the GitD Xeno and freaking love how it looks!
Shame my camera sucks for dark environments, but the result actualy looks like a one of those lousy cryptid pics i guess lol.

>>6279882
Nice collection, which one is your favorite?

>>6279882
The red Genocide aliens look so good, especially the dog. I kinda regret passing on them, but I have way too many alien figures at this point.

Preordered the Black Xeno Queen. Red Xeno Queen is in the mail and arrives Tuesday. Can't fucking wait, mates.

>>6279882
How did you get your red dog in that pose? The head on mine doesn't bend at that angle. I even swiveled the socket and I can't replicate the pose on yours.

>>6280022
The only reason I got the genomorphs is because they were 10 bucks.

>>6280508
I arched the back to accommodate the limited neck joint.

>>6280017
Out of the villains, the Joker or the face hugger suit are my favorite. They both have really great sculpting and paintwork. The aliens are nice, but they suffer from wildly varying qc issues.

>>6280015
Shit. I passed up on that one because of the glow in the dark novelty. Damn if that doesn't look cool, tho.

>>6262818
My nigga. I'd love to see a Neca Max Payne - but he'd have to come with a shitload of guns.

Ok guys, don't let me down.

So I bought these from a local shop few weeks back, love them to death, problem is the elder has a hard time standing straight and his legs just don't look right, I suspect the thighs are on the wrong legs and I never noticed because second I opened him up all I did was a quick articulation check and left him on a shelf with his buddy on the left, not realizing he'd been leaning against the wall.

So, is his legs right and he's meant to stand in certain ways or am I fucked (since its too late to get a refund) unless I can do a diy fix?

I can post more pics if you ask but tell me what to take and how close

>>6280839
The legs look right comparing it to promo pics, they could be warped though. At least your alien mask doesn't have the chipped tooth.

>>6280962
Must be very slight, usually I assume the correct neutral stance for my figures is to the joints are facing the same way at the back, serpent hunter stands fine using this rule but not the elder.

Well least the legs are correct, I just wish not to have to resort to have him lean on his nice spear as a cane

>>6280839

Take both legs in your hands and just adjust the hips that way. You may also need to adjust the waist ball joint, judging by your pic. But yeah, the figure's fine.

>>6280658
And a bunch of pill bottles

I wish TRU hadn't stopped their fucking $20 free shipping thing.

Ultimate Gizmo is in stock and I want it, but...I don't want to pay shipping.

>>6271648
you want both, anon

>>6282276

Go to a TRU store and order it there. They will waive the shipping fee and it'll still be shipped to your house.

>>6284010
Hmmmmmmmm, that's something I had not considered. Good thought...

Yeah, I encountered the genocide aliens for the first time at TRU recently and had to doubletake. At first I thought they might be factory defects or something, they were SO MUCH brighter than the promo pics. I like how they came out, they really pop.

Not too long ago I dug up a few of my old NECA figures. The Street Fighter IV Ryu and Bionic Commando Rad Spencer are pretty much garbage, but the Ninja Gaiden II Ryu Hayabusa is fucking on-point even by today's standards. The sculpt, articulation and accessories are all fantastic.

So this got me curious, what are some older high-quality NECA releases?

>>6280839
why does most have chipped tooth while yours doesn't?

>>6277530
You can check the wayback engine yourself if you wish to. I was personally expecting it to be more like $11 but that's what I saw. Also it might help you to know that the site name changed along with the design overhaul. Use to be just Spawn.com

>>6286654
Because it was a widespread molding issue. They're fixing it or have fixed it.

Pulled the trigger on the Elder, should arrive any day now, being wanting a leader for my clan for a while now, i'm hyped!

You act like it'd be a problem even if you didn't own one. It's not like it's a hard thing to reset.

He still shouldnt have to use a hair dryer.

>>6289235

Well boo hoo, toys get warped in the packaging sometimes. It's not a problem, nor is it uncommon.

>>6289163
Cool, what are you going to do with the other head? Good opportunity for a custom i'd say.

Contact NECAcs on twitter, be kind and courteous, show them you bought the figure and wanted to know if it was possible to get a replacement head for that figure.

And here he is, with his new grin. Woo.

>>6289251
>It's not a problem

Yes, it is.

>>6289404
then dont buy warped figures...

>>6289397

The head on mine was fine, but I returned it today. All of the joints were incredibly loose except for the knees and the waist wasn't assembled properly and kept falling apart. I'm just gonna save my money for the Ultimate Jungle Hunter next month.

>>6289404

Sorry, but you are wrong.

>>6289492
If warping isn't a problem then why do we de-warp our figures?

>>6289492
> toy packaged poorly
> negatively affects product
> had to be fixed
> somehow not a problem

If it wasn't a problem you wouldn't have to fix it

>>6289492
When I said my xeno's legs were warped I meant pretend you're holding a glass of water level curled. There was literally no way to stand the figure up without melting and resetting his limbs. I couldn't get it perfect but at least he's passable in a group. Sure I could've returned it but seeing as it's no longer in production I'd rather deal with it on my own.

>>6289492
Yeah, it's a problem, it's not even a brand related problem or anything, any product that gets deformed in package and has to be fixed has a problem, otherwise it wouldn't require fixing it.
If you think it's an easy fix that's fine, but it's a problem anyway.
