NECA 1/4 scale predator

[crazypredator2]

Hey, we're talking about an intergalactic travelling alien here. I'm sure he's travelled further.

ya, wasn't thinking ,i guess, your right,
but tied up a in box ,mite be a little different way of traveling.

 

[Rotfish]

Once I get my masked one I will do a bio fix.

That's assuming yours needs one.

Sigh... I just can't take this any longer! The wait is too much for the figure I've been looking forward to most in 2011.

Although the HT Tracker will be insane, but that's a tad off-topic.

No problem Glen, I am always happy to help.

do a you tube video ,how you do it , ep2.

Thanks Blade, I'd forgot about the wait for Tracker.

ya, i'm hoping some will show up alright,not needing fixed,
but most are coming from csc ,of us on here, someone said all that they saw there in person,had the gap, but maybe some csc hadn't opened yet, will be already fixed, i hope.

I've not ordered the masked version yet. I'll be content with the two unmasked versions for now and I'll see the mask visor in store hopefully.

yeah the masked version kind of upsets me. that's the one l bought. the gap in the visor l don't think it is to big of a deal, it wont be very noticable. what gets me going is that seam on the helmet. that is just sloppy work there. l find it ironic that tankman brags this is the most accurate pred 1, but they screwed up so bad on the bio helmet. l hope the seam isn't to bad, but apparently it is.

the next shipment of these will probley be fixed.
only time will tell.

 

[MProjects]

The seam on the bio isn't all that big of a deal at all for me. I'm gonna sand it down and repaint it.

 

[Greenblood72]

Is it possible to fill in the seam and buff it smooth?

Imo it still looks good.

Hopefully...

when i get mine in hand, then i'll know if the mold line bothers me or not, whether to let it slide or whether to sand it.

I ordered the masked version so what I was thinking was taking the Hot Toys 1/4 scale Predator unmasked bust, removing it and modifying the head to fit on the Neca helmeted version body.

They seem to be about the same size. Should be a challange.

Also going to sand down that pesky mold line across the bio, add the necessary weathering and blast marks to the armor and make some minor modifications.

I made some modifications to the predator pictured below and it worked out pretty good so I may give this one a go!

The HT 1/4 Scale bust is a little smaller than the NECA head. Dunno if it will look weird.

Thats an awesome custom there. I love the Electric looking things. What did you use??

 

[adegregorio]

Thanks guys! This was done a while back. This was one of my favorite Predator pieces I did.

Yeah, I'm gonna have too check out that bust and compare them side by side.

I just saw the review video here posted by someone and it looks just a tad bit smaller.

For the blue light thingys...I used a Star Wars Unleashed Emperors lightning strands that come with it.

Worked out pretty good.

Torn between Masked and Closed mouth versions and only want to get one of these...hmmm...decisions decisions..

LOL maybe you already decided,
I think close mouth is better, I mean, there is more detail, is his face after all, masked, I actually ordered 2, masked and open mouth, but, Im looking more forward open mouth, way more, I will love my masked, but, the one that I will make the stand out of leaves for and the one i'll play around with more will be open mouth, I say, if you are only getting one, i would say close mouth, Who knows maybe someone even finds a way to sculpt masks ( I doubt it) but you never know,

Aliens Queen...yes please. She is my second favourite monster/ creature creation behind the original Predator. In third is the Stan Winston T-Rex but I can't see that happening in 1/4 scale. The Queen though, please make it happen...

seems like Alien queen is the most impossible figure to make in 1/4 scale, but I would buy 3 if they make them 8 inch figures,

I also love T-rex LOVE him, and well lol creature as well

I'm looking forward to seeing if NECA can pull off a P2 & P2 Elder in this scale.....
