In this latest unboxing video, we’re taking a look at NECA’s recently released deluxe figure from the video game Predator: Concrete Jungle, the hulking cyborg ‘Stone Heart’ Predator. Overall this was an impressive and imposing Predator figure. The light up feature is nice to see included here, and we encountered no quality control issues.
Here’s the description of the figure from NECA’s website:
The city is your battle ground, and the prize… redemption. From the 2005 video game Concrete Jungle, this ultimate rendition of Stone Heart stands over 10″ tall, with LED lights and over 30 points of articulation for great poses. Stone Heart was once an honorable warrior. Then he was captured by Borgia Industries and subjected to a series of brutal augmentations that would see the towering Predator brainwashed and turned into a cyborg. The figure is extra-detailed, and comes with interchangeable mandibles for unique expressions, open and fist hands, plug-in extended blades, and features LED light-up head, chest, and back. Comes in special window box packaging with opening flap with original illustrated art. Uses button cell batteries, included.

Also I really need to replay Concrete Jungle, I remember having an absolute blast with it the last time I played it.
The "Aliens out of f**king nowhere" twist was fantastic.

None of that shit detracted from my experience. And I've played it just as much as you have.
The reviews had it right at the time, the camera alone sucks, as does the whole traversal system- that does not even begin to touch how cringey the story and dialogue can be at certain points.
I like it because it is so bizarre, not because it is any good.
Thank God for codebreaker.
Also, I really like the story, it's very over the top and goofy at parts, but just the right amounts it should be for me, tweak parts of it and it could be adapted into a pretty good series/comic book
Yeah that was definitely an eyebrow raiser for me. Everything we have seen in all forms of media contradict it. I just ignore it.
On the lore side Greyback's blurb covered his first encounter with pirates along with the events from P2.
Lastly the artwork on the box is a decent enough illustration of Greyback although it's clear that the background is a photoshopped image of the trophy wall which kinda gave me Larroca flashbacks.
They really could've done a lot of cool shit with the Amengi in the lore and we got next to nothing with it.
As for Predator Hunting Grounds, if only it had anything else going for it. The "guest star" (Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jake Busy, Michelle Rodriguez) stuff's very cool, but the artificial intelligence's utterly brain dead, for everything done right in terms of how it feels what will it be when you can not get a match anymore?
What a f**king waste.
Predator CJ I just despise. especially the final boss.
If what happened exactly? Which game?
Hunter and Stoneheart could totally have worked in Hunting Grounds. Hunter wanting access to the technology and being as bad if not worse than Stargazer. You could absolutely have a lore drop about how Dutch doesn't think too highly of him, and maybe figures out he's only working with the OWLF to gain access to tech and indulge in his bloodlust. Stoneheart could be contextually how he met Hunter. Capturing him during operations with Voodoo and discreetly sending him back to his own company.
You kinda had to parboil every NECA figure just to prevent limbs snapping.
