The year moves on, and wallets get thinner.
Currently in stores/online:
Ultimate Jungle Hunter
Shin Godzilla
Ultimate Gizmo
Rocky Anniversary Series 2
Konami Arcade "pink" xenomorph
Preacher Series 1
T2:3D T-800
& More
Anyone else doing the Alien Club, or just me all by my lonesome? Just purchased the Covanent set to continue that whole thing. I think there's only one or two more waves that count this year towards the club now.
Aliens USCM Marine arsenal accessory pack AKA a customizer's wet dream
I do look forward to what these packs do for dioramas.
Seemingly Machiko from the AvP comics is coming.
Mikey's looking great. Raph should be getting a second release, Donnie a third, and Leo ought to be coming out late May/June.
And Randy did confirm more TMNT goodness for SDCC. Watch that money trickle through mine fingers...
Jason from "The Final Chapter" is coming.
>>6327371
I just want some 6-inch movie figures or anything with colored bandanas and knoted belts.
18" Wonder Woman.
Preacher figs look good, but I never read the comics nor watch the show, so they're just kind of...there...for me.
found this for 18 bucks, is this real or knock off ?
>>6327380
>>6327381
N'found this particular image on Twitter.
>>6327381
Barely fucking looks like him. Either way I'll probably get him cause I need a Rudy/woody figure in my life. The worst part is I ain't even British.
>>6327382
Depends on where you found it? Like was it in a weird store next to a strip-mall?
>>6327387
its on some random store, but the seller say its original.
I never bought Neca before only collect japanese toys so i cant identify its real or fake from appearance and price.
>>6327390
As long as it's not coming from China, then there's a better chance that it's real.
Also TCM Hitchhiker accessories (probably a Mego).
>>6327389
> still no praetorian or predalien
>>6327382
Looks real
Blizzard store had these on clearance for 5.50 the other day
>>6327459
Ok maybe its cheap because the guy bought it from blizzstore sale and resell it ?
Guess i will grab it
>>6327373
May 22 I think.
>>6327389
What xeno is this supposed to be, anyway?
>>6327590
Some gay re-tool of the existing body of course.
>>6327590
Maybe Scorpion?
It does look a little over the top.
>>6327642
I'm excited to see what they do for the Kenner Scorpion. Assuming that isn't it.
>>6327656
It's just a wild guess though, the spikes under his mouth kinda look like a scorpion's mandibles
>>6327389
>>6327590
This sopposed to be Arachnoid from the AvP Arcade 1994.
The problem with the head is that need to be more long.
Coming back from seeing Covenant i must say i'm now more open to the idea of getting more figures of the film besides the Xenomorph.
>>6327727
and Neo?
>>6327741
Sure, i actually thought they were fun, i still find the Xenomorph cooler, but i won't mind having one of those lurking around.
I wonder how will it work as a figure, thank kind of closed-open mouth would require two heads a guess, although i'll be fine with just one.
>>6327735
was it good?
>>6327744
I hope they used the same (or better) engineering in the articulations of the dog alien.
>>6327757
I liked it, i have some minor gripes but overall i guess it felt comfortable for both people who liked the original and Prometheus, it stands somewhat in the middle of the two, it has much of the evolutionary fuckery of Prometheus, but also has stuff luking in the dark trying to rape the characters, had a lot of fun with the first Neomorph popping out in the screen, also liked Fassbender's acting and the protagonist... now that i think about it there's much less rapey stuff than i think it's appropriated for Alien, but yeah, overall i liked it, the monsters are pretty cool.
>>6327760
My thought exactly, they are all skinny and spend a lot of time on all fours, something like Dog articulation would be ideal.
>>6327735
Really loved the creatures and the first 1/3 of the film, but I really dislike how it devolved into slasher-tier crap to the point that it actually felt dumber than Prometheus at times.
Beyond that, it's a shame that the Xenomorph itself lacked any standout moments to outwardly differentiate it from the Neomorphs, besides an obvious difference in appearances of course.
>>6327870
>Slasher-tier
Subtle like Aliens or flat-out insulting like AVP2?
>>6327741
David & Walter battle damaged when?
Added some much needed paint on the ShinGozilla's tail to make it look more like bone and also went in and dry brushed some matte charcoal grey on it to make the glossy red pop. I think I like it more now.
So I guess we're getting this as part of something? Another diorama piece I'd think.
>>6328037
Don't be. The xenos aren't in the movie very long. David's stupid experiments and tricking people to get egg'd and all that take up more time.
>>6328039
To be fair we don't get to see much of the Xeno on the original either. I also liked seeing some Synth on Synth action, shit was hot.
>>6328039
damn. was hoping for lots of xeno action this time around. well I'm still hyped for a decent flick at least. glad it sounds better than Prometheus.
>>6328075
It's got nearly all the same problems Prometheus had. It attempts to fix issues Prometheus created, while creating it's own issues. Prepare to be frustrated.
>>6327958
As long as it's not something as retarded as "Xenomorphs run around an earth town doing generic slasher shit while a Predator wanders around".
>>6328077
Is one of a bunch sequels, don't suppose to resolve all in this.
>>6327909
Looks great!
>>6327877
It's less subtle than Aliens but definitely much better than AVPR.
I thought the Neomorphs were actually great (arguably had the best moments too). That said, I wish they didn't show off the actual Xenos as clearly as they did, because it removed a lot of the tension compared to the scenes with the Neomorphs.
>>6327366
That pulse rifle muzzle flash effect is HORRIBLE!
So is the flame dildo effect.
>>6328453
I think they look good.
>>6328507
You have casual shit state.
>>6327757
It's better than Prometheus but that's an easy thing to do for me, since Prometheus is one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen. However, some of the main characters' moments really made me cringe with how hard it wants to be a commentary on atheists vs religious zealots. There's actually a lot of full-on gore compared to the older films but it feels strangely lacking xenomorph-wise and its focus seems more suitable for Blade Runner than Alien. If it means more Alien toys including re-attempts at the OG xenomorph, I'd be happy though.
>>6327386
This Is England toyline when?
>>6327366
Putting that pulse rifle burst effect actually makes it worse. It makes it looks like a giant dildo gun.
>>6328921
Hey we all need more dildo guns. Now my revoltech woody as s new gu
>>6328565
I'd be offended if it wasn't obvious you don't even know what "casual" means.
So Randy posted a pic of him with Danny McBride where you get to see the fully packaged new Xeno (which looks pretty cool imho).
>>6329828
he is a big guy.
>>6329854
I guess.
>>6329854
4 u...?
>>6329828
That is pretty neat, actually. I like that packaging.
>>6329828
>Randy
>With the main creative force behind the next Halloween movie
I hope I hope I HOPE Randy tries to get Danny to pull some strings with whoever owns the rights
>>6330320
You never know.
Got stuff from Bigbad today. Woo.
First up Shin Godzilla!
I love this guy, the figure is a big hefty chunk of plastic. Joints were all solid, nothing loose at all. Nothing stuck either, everything just moved nice and smooth. If you liked the movie, you ought to like this figure. I wish he was taller than the other Godzillas, but that's a minor complaint. Range on the joints is good, but obviously limited. The arms have more movement to them than I expected...he doesn't use them at all in the film though, so that's cool I guess.
inb4 lowercaseanon shitpost
>>6330986
Oy vey, helps if I have the image.
>>6330987
The Konami Arcade xeno makes me all sorts of happy. I loved this game as a kid.
It's your basic xeno otherwise. The adjusted articulation is mostly new knees (more like the AvP style) and mid-finger hinge. They also removed the upper bicep swivel. Which admittedly was pretty superfluous, so no loss there.
3D Terminator is the Ultimate T-800 with ungloved hands and the black shirt from the start of the movie. So you know what you're getting. I like having scene specific figures, so this and the Ult. T-800 shall cover that spectrum with the new legs.
And finally the Ultimate Jungle Hunter.
Again, really happy with him. All the articulation works smoothly, nothing stuck, nothing loose. Head swap easiler, blah, blah. Love him.
Arnie was also easy to move around, as was the xeno. Very happy with these releases.
>>6330996
Does yours have gay carbon burn marks on the mask? I've pics w/ and w/out them.
>>6331159
*i meant the Godzilla movie byt the way.
>>6331094
>gay carbon burn marks
Uhh, yeah, the 'blast' marks? Yes those are on the masks, and were on all the ones I saw at TRU last Friday, too.
>>6331159
My understanding is that yes, this is the new xeno body we'll be seeing released in the next year or so for one of the new waves.
As far as a favorite? I kind of love how well I can pose the Jungle Hunter, even though I technically already had it with that Ghost Pred. But the colors on the xeno and Shin make me dig those. Might be Shin just cause it's a new figure entirely.
20" Jungle Demon announced
http://necaonline.com/2017/05/predator-14-scale-action-figure-jungle-demon-30th-anniversary/?utm_campaign=QscaleJdemonprodpg&utm_source=necaIGFB&utm_medium=social
>>6331516
>>6327376
Cant wait to hot glue that
>>6330992
How is the articulation in the feet, the previous one was very restrictive, now have better range or the same?
>>6331759
Feet are exactly the same. Which is to say, fine for me, but I know it's a stickler for others.
>>6330996
you lovin dat seam line?
>>6331877
I am. Doesn't bother me a bit.
>>6330986
got mine a few days ago from bbts too, and nothing was loose. I wonder why the ones from neca themselves have loose parts?
Left my Gitd Xeno under sun light for a few minutes, pics don't do justice to how this thing looks awesome afterwards, it's so much fun playing with it in the dark!
>>6332128
>tfw waiting on my xenos to arrive.
Gotta love 2 week shipping times. Speaking of waiting, when's that xeno queen coming out?
>>6327909
Can he straighten his tail?
>>6332250
As much as it needs to be straightened, yeah.
>>6330992
Oh wow this looks amazing. Can you take more pics?
>>6332128
Dude how'd you get yours to glow? I put mine under my roommates black light and it's not even 10 percent of this. The only thing I can see glow in the dark are the eggs.
Mine gets pretty bright
Of course this also requires your camera settings to be set to take pictures of glow in the dark shit
So my friend's getting a couple NECA Godzillas and to get in on that combined shipping goodness, I'm thinking of getting a Xenomorph.
Which Xeno would you guys recommend? This is my first Xenomorph. I'm leaning toward the Red Aliens 2-Pack with the Big Chap/Dog Alien repaints. But I dunno if either of these are the "best".
The Queen's probably out of my price range.
>>6333068
Big Chap and the Aliens Warrior are pretty unsatisfying and outdated compared to the newer ones. The Dog is great, and the AVP Warrior is the best Xeno they've made yet. The Aliens Warrior has been updated with the new pink game figure, so a movie version is probably on the way. If you want a classic Big Chap, hold off until probably next year when they redo that too.
>>6333420
Mine always look like an accidental criptid pic thanks to my cellphone not helping lol.
Since no one seem to have posted yet.
>>6333424
I was wondering when they were going to get that figure out. They first showed it off like....a year or two ago?
>>6333583
Black xenos swerve.
>>6333623
Can you post? I had dreams of assembling a xeno sentai team but I'm not interested if it's more purple than pink
>>6333626
Hold on. I'll try to get a good pic. BRB.
>>6333617
Ooh, ooh, you got one of the pillars! Care to take more pics of that? Is it good n'heavy?
>>6333626
Maybe I'm just colorblind, I dunno. What you think?
>>6333626
He's kind of a fruit punch color. He's definitely pink though, not really purple. It's like a Starburst tropical flavor.
>>6333617
The red queen chestburster was a nice touch, post more pics of your Hive, Anon.
>>6333631
It's got some heft to it. And it has little rubber footpads so it won't fall over. The nubs on the side are rubbery/resin feeling and have slight give in them but don't test them. Figures stand up to the top of the black relief. Wish my camera wasn't shit, it's got nice designs.
>>6327360
My NECA Big Chap reissue has a lopsided dome. Any way to fix that?
>waiting on the TF2 figures
By the way, some time ago some Anon was asking if the Resurrection Xeno is just like the AvP xeno but brown and if it even was brown or was it just the lighting, so i dug up this production pic for anyone to try to take their own conclusions.
>>6333688
here you can see them working on a unpainted puppet.
>>6333637
I don't have the time to set them all up right now, but in total my hive consists of:
Red Queen
Red Drone
Red Dog
Red Warrior x2
Black Warrior x2
Albino Drone x3
Original White Drone
Mantis x2
Gorilla
GITD Warrior
Arcade Warrior
Eggs x6
GITD Eggs x6
A dozen or so Facehuggers/Chestbursters
But here's a complimentary pic of generic private redshirt's worst day ever.
>>6333652
The dome itself is lopsided? How is that even possible? Is it fit into the head all the way around or is the head itself warped? I'd say try heating it with a hair dryer but where that piece of plastic is so thin I dunno if that would only make it worse.If it's the entire head then maybe it could work but I'd be careful and I'd be ready to soak it in cold water the instant you've got it flexible enough to hold into shape.
>>6333715
The dome is placed lopsided, so more of the skull is poking out on the right compared to the left. I swear I saw it slide up slightly as I was moving he head, just can't slide it back down.
>>6333721
So it's sitting too far into the skull on one side that it leaves an air gap on the other like a container's lid that's not closed all the way? You could try heat and press it down on the other side until it feels like it could fit into its grooves and then hit that fucker with crazy glue and hold it until it sets, or you could try prying it off and reseating it yourself. Either way it sounds like it might be trouble.
Not NECA, but BBTS emailed me about these a few days ago. Extreme sets pop up diorama or something like that. One or two of them look like they were designed for aliens, [spoiler]This one's even called NELA level 6[/spoiler] but they're insanely expensive for some reason. 70 bucks for this, and the fact that they don't even say what it's made out of makes me nervous it's just thick cardboard. Anyone going to gamble on them?
>>6333738
definitely cardboard.
Just got back from Covenant. I'm no connoisseur but I thought it was quite good, though I'm sure some might disagree. Excited to see the reveals tomorrow.
>>6333783
I'm one of the ones who didn't like it. [spoiler]Firstly it not only contradicts AVP canon - which the director doesn't consider canon anyway, but I digress - but it contradicts Prometheus which shows ancient pre-human carvings depicting a xenomorph species... which David just invented. And there's the whole killing the entire planet of engineers in a really retarded way, killing Shaw offscreen... I just couldn't get into the movie at all.[/spoiler]
>>6333832
That mural looks like a deacon or neomorph anon
>>6333832
Did you liked the monsters though? Personally i liked the film, but given how many of us didn't cared much for the AvP filmes and still loved the figures i'm inclined to think these will be really cool as well.
>>6333633
Ooohhhhh no, this definitely leans more purple than pink for me. Bummer. Thanks for the pic tho
>>6333864
Oh the monsters are the bomb but I hate how they were introduced. For as lucrative as AVP has been over the years as a license you'd think Ridley Scott would have gone a different route to try and mostly preserve the connection. I'm part of the NECAxAlien Club so my toys are already preordered anyway.
>>6333738
It was made with Aliens in mind for sure, looks pretty cool, but it's still an overpriced cardboard diorama, pic related is from the official website.
>>6333652
>>6333715
A lot of Big Chaps have slightly lopsided domes. I'm assuming the mould had multiple domes tooled in because I have like 7, including the reissue and the AvP packs, and about half of them have the dome slightly deformed and pulled up on one side so it doesn't fit snug. It's not super obvious but can be annoying.
>>6333884
Might be cardboard but it does look cool. Not cool enough to buy, but still better than NECA's. Pic related is the NECA one club members are gonna get.
It's finally here.
>>6334341
>>6334342
>>6334342
Are they regressing their articulation or something?
>>6334345
>>6334356
>>6334359
Two Heads!
>>6334361
>>6334352
They both have over 30 points of articulation, according to the press release.
>>6334345
Holy shit the blood looks terrible. And I haven't seen the movie yet but that tiny spindly xeno on the left makes me laugh.

I want them all. And a David.
>>6334393
>>6334400
>>6334401
all these are an easy pass
So neca cancelled Diablo, huh? The only figure I REALLY wanted from the wave.
>>6334398
You and me both.
>>6334417
Yeah, it's a shame.
>>6334368
He'll make you laugh in the movie too. He mimics David.
I loved the entire movie tbqh
>>6334412
Really? I think the Neo is a must have, love the design
I'm really happy with them all except for the toddler neomorph. As >>6334368 said the blood is pretty bad.
>>6334412
Your loss.
>>6334461
Agreed, my original plan was to only get the Xenomorphs from each movie, no other creatures, now with the Neomorph i feel like i really have to break the rule.
>>6334525
It's not a loss if you don't want it
>>6334525
have fun with your inaccurate toy, aka neomorph shouldnt have spines like that, check it
>>6334544
That's the second Neomorph, the first one has spikes. You should watch the movie some time...
>>6334548
oh, my mistake then, is that the only difference between the two of them in the movie?
I must have all of them
>>6334544
It looks fine, my man. We are talking about a $20 toy. I really hope sideshow makes a statue of the neomorph, I absolutely love the design. The way they mimic David in posture is neat
>>6334368
>Holy shit the blood looks terrible.
Agreed. That's some 1978 dawn of the dead-tier tomato soup blood.
>>6334555
As far as i'm aware, could be more that didn't pay attention to.
>>6334361
They should do that for all their xenos.
>>6333715
>>6333739
It's a bit hard to tell, but you can see it best in how one socket is more covered than the other
>>6334368
>that tiny spindly xeno on the left makes me laugh.
You're not wrong in thinking this, it was pretty ridiculous in the movie too.
>>6334555
I think the heads are different as well.
I really want a Tennesse figure now.
>>6334964
that's weird, can't you ask Neca CS on twitter for a new dome? Yours look like it's missing a bit of plastic.
>>6335290
They're glued on. If he tried to swap it out it'll fuck-up some of the paint.
>>6334345
Baby Xeno is adorable. And I really like how those eggs look.
>>6334342
>That neomorph size
Damn, now I'm actually tempted. I'm a bit of a scalefag so I've always preferred the SHMA xenos since they fit better in displays with non-NECA figures. The smaller size of that neomorph should make it a bit more passable with other figure lines, even if it should be smaller in comparison.
>>6335374
I have SHMA Big Chap, and he's much smaller than I'd like. I'd love a Xenomorph option that's in between the two sizes.
This nigga... this nigga right here...is the bees knees...
Can you spot the differences fellow neca heads!?
>>6335450
its bright orange nutsack?
>>6335450
Headswapped from the wave 3 classic predator?
>>6335679
Also swapped the hand and feet as well. The original was lacking paint on the straps between the toes.
>>6333884
You can see the edge of the cardboard in their own promo shots.
At 70 bucks, I'm sure it'll hit clearance. I might pick it up when it does, but no fucking way am I paying that much for that.
>>6335234
>Tennesse
It would be cool, but since they already made all the monsters i doubt it, with some hope they will maybe make the second Neomorph and David.
I want some horses for the planet of the apes monkeys.
I have just one but plan to get some later.
I hear the LOTR horses work, but which others, they could be Staute horse if there is no better option
Classic Planet of the Apes line was NECAs best, and I fear they wont ever top it.
>>6335959
Is there a difference between Neomorphs?
I will settle for a mostly Alien 3 repainted Ripley for Daniels honestly. They even already worked out the arms of they wanted to deck her out in a jacket.
>>6335292
The glue is only at the very back
>>6336638
Second one has no spikes on it's back, some anon also pointed out the mouth might be different, i'm not sure about that though.
Haven't thought about that, they do have more than one Ripley they could use as a base for Daniels.
Has anyone found/bought a bootlegged foam spacejockey yet? I still dont want to pay that much for an official one.
>>6334361
I just want the tiny neomorph from this. Wish I could buy just that
>>6335987
The mcfarlane dark ages horse could work, might be a little big
Had a pretty good birthday weekend.
Really enjoyed seeing Alien Covenant, much better than Prometheus.
Picked up the 25th anniversary T-800 and ultimate Jungle Hunter while I was out.
Looking forward to the covenant xenomorph :^)
>>6335374
The Neomorph is 9”, like the common Xenomorph. The "Protomorph" is 10” is the taller xeno at date.

help me decide, serpent hunter pred for 40 bucks
or
KO Mirage TMNT with coloured headbands for 60 bucks?
>>6337942
Where are you finding a Sepent Hunter for 40 dollars!?
When's 1/4 scale Leo supposed to ship out? I'm fiending
>>6337948
I saw like 4 at my local toysrus for base price
>>6337948
its non american rape prices
so thats all i can find
Is it true that Neca plans on announcing something new for TMNT this coming week?
>>6338236
Nah I mean I'm seeing them for like 22 at toysrus. I guess. That guy just can't find any in his area.
>>6337412
I can't justify spending hundreds of dollars on a piece of foam
I need help. I want the Dog Alien and find one in no rape price, $22, on Ebay, but the seller is chinese. The problem is I'm not sure if exist bootlegs of this figure or is safe. Someone know about it?
By the way, I'm not american and this is my only chance to get it.
>>6338567
I bought one from hong kong and had no problems aside from a weak stand that it comes with.
>>6338743
>no problems aside from a weak stand that it comes with.
Yeah, somebody told me about that, well I'm patient so I will try.
>>6334575
eh, neca admitted theyre not accurate on twitter, apparently they made the figures based on the suits but they changed it to cgi and the cgi models had differences to the suits
>>6338793
and they will make cgi look versions or just these?
>>6338793
What's the difference though?
>>6338816
See Grid. They'll do an accurate version later.
>>6337650
good to hear anon! I love positive posts like these
You guys think they'll ever make a Covenant David? I can't find Prometheus David for under $60 and it's a very dated figure
>>6339241
I'm going to give in and pay that I think. I can't wait another year and half.
>>6339241
I would pay good money for tacticool Walter instead.
With swappable heads.
For army building.
>>6338948
Grid is a different case though, that was just NECA skimping on a full release to be jews. I doubt they will make entirely new moulds for a second run of "accurate" Covenant aliens. This wave is probably all we're going to get except MAYBE some SDCC/NYCC exclusives
>>6338262
He's arrived. First neca since the berserker predator.
>>6339786
>>6339694
>>6339788
Great pick. Best hit up neca cs for a new head.
I put a scar on my mask to make up for the missing tooth.

Got some flowers to complete the look.
>>6339604
>This wave is probably all we're going to get except MAYBE some SDCC/NYCC exclusives
I can smell a Neomorphs 2-pack for SDCC coming.
Came home from the theater stoked on Alien Covenant and spent a little time breathing some new life into a couple old figures (xeno's arm snapped off and hick's facial expression bugs the fuck out of me)
>>6340162
>>6340170
>>6339992
Pretty cool, i'm still on the fence about the creature pack, but i'm getting Neo and Xeno for sure!
>>6339992
Nice, but FUCK THIS REVIEWER IS ANNOYING AS FUCK!!! Don't focus correctly, don't move at all the figures, don't show at detail the sculpt, don't comparison, just fuck!
>>6340301
>>6340301
Fuck yeah.
>>6340402
Could be this year's NYCC exclusive. Last year NECA did the arcade sets for SD and the mirage foot for NY.
But yeah, I really hope this is the last time they re-release these molds.
>>6340305
I guess this should've been expected as it was too easy a repaint not to do, but I was really hoping for 1:12 Henson Turtles.
>>6340308
Fug, I bought the comic pack last year too.
>>6340220
looks familiar
Recently got the Serpent Hunter and Ultimate Jungle Hunter predators and love them. Was wondering if I should get youngblood next or get the Celtic and zeno 2 pack?
>>6340579
Xeno* I can't type today.
Anyone have the 18 inch Foam Space Jockey? is it worth the $300 or should I just save for the sideshow which goes for around $600?
>>6330986
His tail doesn't fall off? lucky bastard.
>>6340101
>Got some flowers
Wow. That looks fantastic.
I saw him in TRU today but passed. I might go back and get him if I can get some 1/12 roses too
>>6340713
Mine doesn't fall off as well
>>6339927
I messaged them about it.
Otherwise he's awesome.
Here's a shot of him in the case next to my old queen
>>6340864
looks so good goddamn
So what's with the shoulder tubes on the Primal Alien figure? I don't see them at all on the one in the movie.
>>6340900
probably just another thing that was changed between getting designs to use for the toys and the final movie edit.
>>6340162
these are awesome
Just got my first NECA, the Superman vs Muhammad Ali pack and I couldn't be happier. Which company does a better Xenomorph, NECA or Revoltech?
>>6340961
NECA.
>>6340961
I have a few of both. They're both very nice.
If forced, I'd have to side with NCA, because of the larger scale and the huge selection of Alien-related figures.
Revoltech makes a fine Ayyy with great posability and more durable plastic, but they are a little smallish and there's only three (and their queen is wayyyyyy too small).
>>6340961
>neca or revoltech
Neither, monsterarts
>>6340970
Scale-wise, how well does the Revoltech Queen fits with Lego's mini figs? That whould make for some fun pics.
>MFW 80sfags will continue shoving nostalgia for their bland toy commercial down our throats while better versions of the turtles are shat on.
>>6341125
this the 03 turtles were te best ones yet by far
>>6340972
I knew the day would eventually come when the MA Alien Warrior shot up in value, well looks like the new film finally did it. Peeps asking 100+ for him now
>>6340864
Which xeno is that in the right? Is that the neca avp one?
>>6341238
All the Monsterarts seem to have shot up recently, ones I sold a year ago for $100 are going for $250 now.
The only one that seems to not have is the Predator.
>>6341125
Fuck off. We got jack shit for decades between the end of the show and the selling of the franchise to Nick because the creators hated it.
What the fuck is this tease even about?
>This cabinet minister, does he always travel on the wrong side of the border? #prednesday
>>6341125
I'm an 80's fag but agree. Between Playmates, Figuarts, and Neca, I hope this is the end of the 80's Turtles. Even as a kid I dropped the OT Turtles as soon as I saw the movie, and I just fucking want those Neca figures in 1:12. Props to Neca though for being the only ones to actually get the OT Turtles right, and for doing Foot Soldiers/Shredder along with them.
>>6341486
looks like NECA will make a Lieutenant Mike Harrigan figure!
>>6340665
>not a single person owns it
Anyone?
>>6341125
>>6341522
I'm a bit burnt out on the 80's cartoon turtles, but I still want an update of the classic TMNT toy aesthetic, with the angry faces and squat proportions. The 2012 first wave before the remold was a close attempt, but lacking in articulation and paint.
Is the Serpent Hunter not supposed to have the broken tooth? I thought that was part of the design.
>>6341292
It's the monster arts warrior alien. Currently he's a fucking mess due to his tail constantly falling apart.i like him enough and he's in scale but fuck me he has issues wish I knew a good way to keep him together.
>>6341486
Geej you got a big pussy
>>6340579
Id get Celtic as hes only gonna get more pricey and youngblood shelf warms
>>6341486
Hes been saying "its not what you think"
So its either Hawkins and hes trying to swerve us
Or
One of the new cast members was his son since Black is directing it.
Or
I dont know.
>>6340713
No, why would it? It's pretty solid and moves really well. The whole figure is like that though, nothing too tight, nothing too loose. Just a real smooth movement for all joints.
>>6342065
Nah, the second tail joint from the base is known to be loose. It's not just a one-off, either.
>>6341742
God. I fucking wish!
>>6341437
So the answer is to go full retard and have 5 different releases of the same fucking Turtles? Hell, I'll be generous and say 4, since technically Neca's using the same molds twice. But 4 of the SAME DAMN THING is still a lot.
>>6341814
Mine has it too, I'm pretty sure its intentional.
>>6341814
It's not. NECA even sent out replacements for this particular issue.
>>6340305
what scale though?
Do you guys know if the Ultimate Jungle Hunter has any common problems such as bent wrist blades? They just showed up in my country but i can only order online, so i can't check for any problems before buying. Saw i Ultimate City Hunter like that and got worried.
>>6343358
Wrist blades on almost all Jungle and City Hunters are known to be a little fragile but I've never had a problem with them coming out the package
Finally got my collection back up after moving in with the gf
>>6344017
Been in limbo for a month or so .... Also why does this damn site rotate portrait pictures?
>>6344023
Looking forward to the neomorph and the xeno type alien from the movie and the new comic xeno. Thinking about getting the creature pack ... The face huggers and eggs are different so maybe. But that damn tiny xeno bugs me and it bugged the shit out of me in the movie
>>6344023
You probably took it with your phone, right? Your phone tells which way the picture is oriented with metadata. But all pics you upload to 4chan are stripped of metadata. Therefore, they often show up in the wrong orientation.
Vasquez! You son of a bitch!
>>6344554
That was fast.
Oh yeah, snagging up that Ultimate Ahab for sure.
>>6344709
Kind of a fuck you to the people who bought the original one, this release is even cheaper.
>>6344888
Good, sdcc exclusives are cancer
>>6344888
>to think i almost bought the original from scalpers
lol, it seems passing on it was a smart move after all.
>>6331569
I'm normally not a fan of the half translucent style figures like this but this on was done really really well. probably needs a jungle dio to really look great though.
Go Go Alien Rangers
Go Go Alien Rangers
Go Go Alien Rangers
Mighty Xenomorphin' Alien Rangers
>>6345129
But seriously, we need the yellow one from Requiem to complete the line up.
>>6345230
The Albino Drone from Aliens
>>6344714
>I seek the white xeno
>>6345242
is it more than just a white Xeno with a big tongue? cause normally the 6th ranger has more going on than just a new color, like chest armor or a helmet with extra crap on it or something like that.
>>6345242
>>6345256
>>6345230
>>6345242
>>6345256
>>6345262
>>6345264
What about...
>>6345264
>>6345281
And this like Black Xenoranger
Not sure if anyone cares but I'm selling everything on here For 10 bucks
>>6345342
10 each obviously, right?
>>6344709
Fucking awesome.
>>6345432
Yes sir
Which Kenner Pred do I buy? Spike Tail or Clan Leader?
>>6345515
Clan Leader.
>>6345539
Followup questions. Does he fit in the Predator fighter ship? And does that have any issues that would dissuade me from buying it?
I am totally doing the SUPER SENTAI XENORANGER thing. I just need the blue and yellow ones, the rest are ready to go.
>>6345548
I don't have that so I can't say. The only thing I have with the Clan Leader that might be a criticism or a problem with it is that its kinda hard to get his mask to stay on and the arm/chest tentacles take a bit of fiddling to get plugged in just right so they stay. other than that I love the thing and its probably my #3 favorite Predator figure.
>>6345557
Are the tentacles bendy?
>>6345564
yes. I was also kinda disappointed that they weren't full Xenomorph tails with like the big bladed end piece but they still look really fucking killer on him.
>>6345569
Rad! And I just ended up ordering both preds, as well as some of the Kenner style Aliens. These lines are really tickling my nostalgia bone. Too bad about the lack of a Neca Bull Xeno, though.
>>6345575
yeah I've got the Gorilla and Mantis Alien, they are pretty kick ass. I really only want the small queen facehugger so I didn't get that one. I'm not sure if I want the Kenner Ripley though. I'd love a Kenner Hicks, Bishop and Apone though.
>>6345243
Actually, he's called Ahab because he was hunting an Engineer.
Got my ult jungle hunter with 2 left feet. But the shop i got him from already has another coming.
>>6345870
Wow, what a view.
>>6345967
I use it to mask my mediocre posing.
>>6345977
are you the anon that was posting Jojo SAS on the beach balcony?
>>6346078
Yes
Any anons had any QC issues with the ultimate JH?
>>6346515
Only thing I saw was people having trouble opening the wrist computer.
>>6346175
do you have a myfigurecollection account? I love your photos
Another thibg that bums me out is that the caster cant hold the effect part for shit.
>>6346664
Try twisting the blast while pushing in. But yeah it sucks they had to retrofit.
>>6346828
I think it will be online this year.
>>6345575 here again.
I haven't bought a NECA predator since the first AvP movie came out. Have their articulation changed since then? I like my big Celtic, but he always seemed to look stiff and uncomfortable/static.
>>6345342
Got my second temple pillar in the mail today. I can't wait to start building my diorama display.
>>6343358
A lot of Ultimate Jungle Hunter figures have bent wrist blades because the clamshell is too small around the right arm area
>>6347327
That's not true at all.
>>6342241
Boo hoo, they're at least giving us the best Turtles while Playmates continues to shit itself in a corner.
And they're repaints that make sense, too. So get over yourself.
>finally found a Serpent Hunter in the wild
>broken tooth
>well... fuck, okay
>buy it anyway
>look up NECA to see about replacement part
>long convoluted process about contacting TRU, getting a refund or at least their response...etc...
>ffffffffffuck it
>be proud new owner of Battle Damaged Serpent Hunter
Whelp. Better'n nothing I guess.
>>6348238
You are now the proud owner of Dachande
So NECA's all about those Aliens and Predators. They also do all those vidya figures AND vidya variants.
When will they release a line based on this? I really don't want to buy a Dutch and build him a robot arm.
>>6348632
Don't hold your breath. Capcom has been extraordinarily anal about the rights to that game, going so far as to never port it since 1994. The human characters have only ever made a cameo in other games once.
>>6348632
I think they've said it's in the pipeline, but they can't do Linn since Capcom has the rights to her.
>>6348238
You idiot, just contact @NECA_CS on Twitter
>>6348651
Not porting licensed arcade games in the 90s isn't exactly an uncommon thing. Other than a rare Japan only Saturn port the D&D beat em ups didn't get ported until the 360 era. Same for Simpsons and X-Men, GI Joe, the Konami Aliens arcade game, Alien 3 The Gun and many others.
>>6348730
Its actually rocks at the bottom. Dropped mg ver ka nu gundam and a sniper 2 mg, but they were fine.
Also stole some guys idea to turn the bad tooth to battle damage, i like it.
>>6348238
What this >>6348467
Said I got them to send a replacement head and they didn't mind at all.
>>6339439
I don't know if "tacticool" is an often-used term on this board but this made me laugh my man
>youngblood's staff snaps off
>superglue it
>except super glue only melts the paint and doesn't glue anything
Fug.
>>6349891
Tamiya cement.
>>6343358
Mine had slightly warped wrist blades but I was able to readjust them easily without heat just by moving them. The only problem I had with mine is the lower tubing on his right arm snapped off, I was careful about the front part that I didn't notice that I had snapped the bottom. Easy fix with some glue, but still sucks how the tubing limits articulation on that arm.
>>6347798
Yes it is, I opened a fresh case at work and all of them were bent except for one.
Does anyone else own the Alien Queen from Aliens? I just bought it, since I missed out on the first time. It looks like an amazing figure, but damn over 100 dollars is steep. Just curious about peoples opinions who own it.
Why do we have to wait so long for Covenant figures? Doesn't it make sense to get this shit out alongside the film release?
>>6351923
I fucking love it. Don't know what more to say. I think the paint is a little sloppy, but the size, weight, and articulation is on point. $100 for a figure of that size and quality is really a steal. Usually statue-shit that size is priced at $100+
Lookit who showed up, fuck yeh Snake
>>6341486
more dutch obviously
>>6351510
You're full of shit. I've gone through the cases at TRU and can tell you you're a liar.
>>6351923
You just bought the queen? As in you paid and it's shipping? Do you mean the rerelease or did you buy the original? The updated version was to have improvements my friend.
Where the fuck idls defiance xeno?
>>6352142
Film was supposed to be released later in Summer. When Randy found out he was pretty miffed. (Around the time the first poster dropped)
>>6334400
>ma-...mom? The internet went out...
>>6340101
>Got some flowers
NICE. Shit. Now I want one.
