Re: NECA 1/4 Predator

Lol! I'm sure that when my son gets a bit older I will be doing the same thing. But right now he is 18 months and he throws EVERYTHING soooo.. Not happening!

Re: NECA 1/4 Predator

I think we, those that have kids, are all the same
I have a 7 year old and a 1 year Girls and I have to rush and attend theirs needs before I can sit and enjoy my Figures (Not Toys) I also do the same and stay up late organizing them and posing them and Loving them.....is that weird

Re: NECA 1/4 Predator

Haha @Royce12 your post really made me nostalgic about getting brand new figure. Ohh that big box, growing anticipation and smell of a new Pred... Nice to see similar souls out there.

P.S. @ocielz That's the whole point of collecting. Enjoying the figure and discovering new and new details. Really hope tankman and NECA resume with 1/4 scale!

Re: NECA 1/4 Predator

my guardian pred came with this bluish white stain on his armor. i just fixed the stain with some paint:

Re: NECA 1/4 Predator

I think that's how it's suppose to be, kind of like Rust stains on the armor. Take a look at my 7in Preds, Guardian and City Hunter have it.

Guardian 7in





City Hunter 7in.

Here's a pic of my 1/4 scale City Hunter with the same Rust stains.

Re: NECA 1/4 Predator

Picked up the Guardian today (similar patina colouring on the armour as above, although it's a lot less noticeable in natural light), got the Warrior and Unmasked City Hunter on order which will both hopefully be here next week. Just need to figure out where to put them as my shelves are filled with Dutch and 4 of the other Predators (closed mouth P1, Elder, Masked City Hunter and Big Red). And how to get the SDCC Gort without having to sell any organs ...

Would love NECA to bring out some 1/4 scale AvP figures, Scar would find a home in my living room easily. A Predalien wouldn't go amiss either, I've got the NECA 18" scale classic Alien so it would fit right in. An Aliens warrior would join them too ... time to stop filling up my wish list

Re: NECA 1/4 Predator

^^^ Congrats on those pick ups!!

Just checked Amazon for JH with Gort bio and he's $150 and probably going to go higher

I picked mine up last year for around $115 shipped on amazon thru Toybiz seller. Good luck on your Hunt !

Re: NECA 1/4 Predator

Here in the UK on Amazon they're much more expensive, just over £170 (about $260!). I could order one from the US but with shipping and import taxes would probably end up costing more.

repainted the right shoulder armor of my big red because it's not glossy as the rest of his armor. i used metallic red color. i liked the result, now i'm thinking of repainting the rest of his armor.

Re: NECA 1/4 Predator

Warrior arrived today, definitely more patina colour on the armour than the masked city hunter and Guardian.

Just waiting on unmasked city hunter so I can rearrange my shelving.

Hi All,

Heres my custom repainted Jungle Hunter ( a commission for a mate ) >
I haven't fully completed it yet but was hoping to get some opinions / thoughts

Re: NECA 1/4 Predator

very nice. love the weathered look.

I also would like to share my new custom Elder Predator, headsculpt was painted by Joe Dunaway while the rest
of the body was done by Uruk's Customs. I did all the accessories to make him as close as possible from the movie. This is probably by far my favorite figure now from my whole collection. It's incredible how it turned out.

 

[oldskul]

that is awesome. the metal finish on the armor parts is superb! i will grab your photos and use them as guide when i repaint mine.

 

[Reinhardt]

just badass repaints guys!! agree, the armor is fantastic. Really pops, especially in the first pic.
