I shall tread carefully in my search.Sure thing! Best advice I can give is if the price is too good to be true and it's coming from China it's a bootlegDoes a 200.00 USD or 500.00 USD price seem more realistic and not like a bootleg?Absolutely no NECA Predator toy is worth that amount. Please don't ever pay that much.Thanks! I won't. 500 USD is too high for me, thats closer to the price of a City Hunter Biomask!

Quote from: Kailem on Jul 19, 2021, 08:04:04 PMThe rumours of them losing the Alien and Predator licences seem more and more plausible.
Quote from: The Shuriken on Jul 25, 2021, 09:56:20 PMNECA Predator toys certainly look nice but they do have known QA issues. As in breaking joints right out of the box.

Quote from: Sabres21768 on Aug 02, 2021, 05:05:02 AMIt'll be a bad day if NECA loses the licenses. People just don't understand that.

As in breaking joints right out of the box.I have found that by using the soaking a brand-new figure in hot water technique then very carefully moving the joints until they are no longer stiff ("that's what she said" - curse you Michael Scott from The Office), I've not had broken joints (so far).
Quote from: The Shuriken on Aug 02, 2021, 02:01:16 PMHonestly as a toy collector, it is my opinion that no action figure should be subjected to that in order to gain full function. A toy should be ready to go out of the box. If there has to be some ritual for the toy to work, that's a problem to me.

I noticed myself that Predator releases have slowed down, and for some reason they stopped doing 3 figure waves. The lack of anything substantial during their comic con streams is suspect as well IMO. But is there anything else that points to them losing the licence?

But is there anything else that points to them losing the licence?I can't remember if it was Ridgetop or Mike (I think it was Mike) who mentioned earlier this year that he'd been talking to some toy store owner in LA who said he'd heard that NECA had lost the licenses for Alien and Predator. Then all these months started going by with no news of anything new, including that recent stream where all they announced were a few repaints, and it started to feel more and more like that might indeed have been the case.
