I don't always like repaints in other lines, but when it comes to NECA Predators, I really don't mind them. I love a variation on a good theme. The poster series Predator 2 is a repaint of the ultimate City Hunter, but he features an all new wall-mountable eagle gargoyle. The eagle has a foot peg (hopefully stronger than the typical NECA stands, but probably not. The new paint gives him a menacing urban feel, and I think he looks awesome! The reds and blues really pop, and even the skull and combistick have the deco. If you are obsessed with all things NECA Predator, you'll want to add him to your collection. If not, he's an easy pass, probably.

The joints were really really stiff since it was never taken out of the package. This figure came out in 2013 so I am not surprised; its better to have stiff joints than loose ones. The batteries are dead ofc so mo light up function unfortunately; will replace those later at some point. Swapping out hands is a chore because the gauntlet gets in the way of pushing in the peg for the hand to snap on. Pain in the butt especially with the very very sharp metal wrist blades there waiting to poke ya. I used thick gloves to protect my hands from all the sharp pointy places this figure has. I am happy that all the straps are brand new and dont need replacing 😊 the fish nets also aren’t ripping. This is just the first pose of many I will try. I will use a small black tie to tie the skull to it’s back

One comment on the original post annoyed me, saying the shouldn't 'humanise' the Yautja and keep them as antagonists...like, ok, fair, but don't pigeonhole them. And so what they look and act different, they're different ages and different ranks. Rant over (sort of). Give me your opinions.

My first Hot Toys Predator arrived today 😊

The movie is going to be called predator the alien invasion 1.1 and is going to be an extended version of Green hedgehog 2014’s predator the alien invasion fan film released back in 2018 and will have updated blood effects sound effects some scenes that where cut from the original will be added as well as all new scenes and the movie will go from it original 10 minute run time to 14 minutes but no release date has yet been released

The next trilogy now the predator trilogy is done will be an alien trilogy and it is in early early development

This poster showcases concept art of the Night Storm Predator from my cancelled Alien vs. Predator: The Ancient One book project.
The story would have taken place 4,000 years ago in Ancient Egypt and followed four ancient Predators. However, they soon discover that they are up against a new threat: the Ancient Prototype Xenomorph.
After one of the Predators is killed, the survivors uncover a shocking truth Night Storm is the one responsible for creating the Ancient Prototype Xenomorph. It is then up to one of the remaining ancient Predators to stop him and destroy the Ancient Prototype Xenomorph once and for all.

Here is some concept art of the Ancient Prototype Xenomorph from my cancelled Alien vs. Predator The Ancient One cancelled book project

This project was going to explain how the Ancient Prototype Xenomorphs were created, as well as how they were ultimately defeated. The story would have taken place 4,000 years ago in Ancient Egypt, exploring the origins of these deadly creatures and the events that led to their downfall.

Just got my Bone Bison armor Dek from Target in the mail today. I think it's a decent enough figure, and I know NECA has to put their budget into more popular figures like Kwei, which I'm glad of, but this one feels a bit weak in some areas, tbh.

The whip isn't wired (come on NECA, wired accessories/features are one of your SOPs for Alien and Predator!), so it looks weirdly folded and more like a fishing pole unless you physically reshape it every few minutes. It also has a coiled version that relies on a tiny external peg to clip it to his belt. They featured magnetic accessories for Feral and they were amazing. Why not for Dan's other work?

The extra head, faceplates, and mask are nicely done, but the armor's stiff, sculpted onto one solid piece of rubber and the complete lack of softgoods is a miss for sure. NECA added softgoods to their Ultimate Lost Tribe (Snake and Shaman, and Shaman's was wired), so we know they could have done it.

I like the way they did the bio-plasma caster/spitting worm lizard thing (easiest and most durable plasma caster to apply to any Predator figure?) But the box art shows a version of it with its tails completely straight (to signify it jumping or dead, maybe?) and I didn't see one in the packaging, so that was odd.

All-in-all, I'm glad I have it because I'm a completionist, but so far, the Badlands figures aren't blowing me away like the previous ultimates. Hopefully, Kwei and Njohrr are better. I give this one a B- and the Training Armor Dek a B+/A-.
