NECA: Predator Movie Franchise Figures

[GasparZizou]

Same here - mine is in my BBTS "Pile-Of-Loot" and is doubtless from the INITIAL batch.

Wait how many batches are there? I just assumed some come out better than others

I got 3 off BBTS pretty early on, am I hecked?

YOU may be right - it may be ME misunderstanding things - I was going off this:

I just got a replacement unmasked head for JH today because the original had a air bubble in the molding. I noticed that the beads on the dreads were all painted even the undersides, unlike the normal release, I wonder if they plain on doing a second production of the Ult JH with improved paint?

.

This head is from the initial release,


This is the replacement head I got from Necas CS with improved paint,

 

[GasparZizou]

Oh damn, wth does the masked head also come with unpainted dreads?

Brian how did yours come out?

 

[a-dev]

Mine don't seem to have the beads painted underneath. I don't really care about that but what I do care about is that they're badly painted where I can see them.

 

[a-dev]

On a different topic, albeit still pertaining to Predator, is there anyone else who, like me, has always been slightly irritated by this shot



Can anyone guess why this shot annoys me?

 

[Reefer Shark]

Bad trigger discipline? Or is that the safety on? (not familiar with that pistol)

 

[GasparZizou]

No the safety's off and he's firing, I'm trying to figure it out can't see it a-dev

 

[a-dev]

Nope. Someone will get it. I'd find it hard to believe no one else has thought the same thing as me when watching the scene. I better give a clue - It's Dillon pulling the trigger...what's happening in that scene...

 

[GasparZizou]

Yeah I can tell it's Dillon. I've re-watched the scene a couple times and can't spot it. Will wait to see if someone gets it. Don't give it away.

 

[a-dev]

Now I'm wondering if I really am the only one who ever fixated on this..

 

[btby100]

Ah is it that he is aiming at the Pred in the tree but he is pointing the gun down in that shot?

 

[a-dev]

This

Or at least that particular shot orientation makes it look that way.

 

[GasparZizou]

didn't see that one.

I'm pretty tolerant with continuity issues, and McTiernan is a master of continuity and geography, so I'm gonna take that as a style choice and not an issue

 

[a-dev]

All these years I'm internally screaming at the screen ''you're not gonna hit him by aiming at the ****ing ground Dillon!''

And it pained me in a way. I wanted Dillon to at least get one shot on target. Alas there was no hope when he couldn't aim upwards.

 

[GasparZizou]

All those muscles and he can't lift a small smg, he really was a pencil pusher.

 

[Heavy Metal Spike]

I always took it that (like several other parts around that scene) it was a non-horizontal filming shot (no pun intended), plus he started firing before his gun was completely raised due to panic/urgency

.

I haven't seen anyone mention this guy before, https://www.figurerealm.com/customfigure?action=view&id=86096 , IMO he has some of the best repaint work for these Neca Predators I've ever seen. He takes commissions, I'm very tempted to get some done but It all depends on the price. It goes to show how good the sculpts actually are whenever there isn't a dodgy paint job.

 

[a-dev]

I could aim upwards. Aiming upwards is my speciality.

 

[Heavy Metal Spike]

LOL - you fixed the url as I was typing this to warn you (IMO)

Nice work - I've always admired Joe Dunaway's NECA repaints too.
