NECA 1/4 scale predator

What did he even say?
I just couldnt bring myself to read any of that.
Looks like torture.

There is too many words..

Based on online pictures and videos alone, I would rate the overall product a B-. If this was solely based on sculpt alone, these figures would have received an A-. Fantastic sculpt on the whole with minor detailing flaws like the gap in the mask.

This thread has gone very very mental.

Anybody get their Pred order from AmokTime yet? I preordered very soon after it went live on their website and haven't heard a word from them. Gonna call but wanted to check here first.

I pre-ordered from them and I haven't heard anything yet.
It's still early, so I plan on waiting a little longer.
If they can't pull through, or if I find it elsewhere for the same price I pre-ordered, I'll cancel then.

Put my order in for the masked from CSC yesterday - gonna display this bad boy with the SSC Alien Warrior! ..just need to make a base now

 

[Centurion]

This thing is just to big!!! I have no room. Anybody interested in the open mouth????

DJ, if Amoktime doesn't complete my order, I'll take you up on that offer.
Of course, I understand, first come first serve.

Well, I caved and ordered the rest of them. I feel that I wont have room for three of them though but I just gotta have them.

I can buy all the rebuttals to the nitpicks so far. BUT, if my masked version comes with a seam going across the whole mask like in that video, it's going back. Nitpicks are one thing, that's an eye sore.

Any of you with the masked version have a deep wide seam on your masks?

Be prepare to return it if you are not going to be happy with the with seam. Looks like its in the mold. Checked through 5 pieces at CSC, and they all have the exact same seam in the exact same spot. Here are pictures of mine:

Wow. Guess I'll have to cancel it. I won't be happy with that. I don't care how inexpensive the figure is. How in the.....sigh, just sigh.

This is why I have a hard time taking NECA seriously.

 

[Kiva]

Fuuuuu...

Nevermind. Its still nice.Ill just pretend he banged his head stepping out of his ship.

 

[Sabres21768]

Fortknox is still here?

Really?

How is he not banned yet?

Sounds like something that should be corrected in the near future.

Canceling mine... I wanted to buy one, but, its too big and that mold thing on the masked version (the one i was going to buy) doesnt look too good...

 

[tnaig001]

Come on guys. How hard would it be to putty it up and sand it down some?

@tankman : thank you for this awesome pred

I don't have the patience or skill to do that. And, I don't like altering these figures, even if the alteration is to fix something. This is poor craftsmanship, nothing less. And, this $200 will be re-purposed for something else.

I canceled my BBTS order for all 3. So, maybe one of you guys will pick that up. Gratz if you guys like them, I'm not knocking you. I just know myself well enough to know that will bug the hell out of me. No sense in paying money for that kind of headache.

I do not understand how this big ugly mold stripe can be at the top of the head? And it is a huge one also. What the? The others look great but this version is what I wanted to buy and ths one has more flaw than the others. .

Oh yeah, totally canceling mine right now...
Not!
I don't think it looks that bad, this is still a figure, a "toy", not a sculpture or something like that, I know it looks kinda bad but like tnaig001 that seems easy to fix, I don't think is that bad,

I guess all the cancellations just makes it easier for the people that want it to get it, either way is cool, I still like it

Yeah. The visor gap was one thing, and I could live with that. Add this mould line and it's just too much for me.

More power to ya black.

 

[Centurion]

What's the problem?
You can totally hide that seam with a tiara.

I will probably still buy it, but first I have to see it in person. Anyway there is something comes to my mind right now. What if Neca later will give us an improved version. Fixed netting, fixed visor and maybe with a better articulation points. Neca has a history at recycling. I really don't want new versions of this figure because many of us who already bought these version will be...well you know what I am talking about.
