whoever wrote that was either stupid or can't see... it IS the same head, it's just painted differently - P1's mask was painted silver and washed with dark brown paint, while Scout's was drybrushed...

Nope, it's actually different - the best example is the eye lenses on the mask - on the Classic Predator/Anytime, they're smooth, and on Scout they're not. I imagine the new Scout head is the head they'll be using for the "improved" Anytime figure we're getting in a future wave that has P2-body articulation.

I got my S6 set in the mail yesterday, I like them quite a bit. I think Scout is the weakest of the bunch because he really is Pussyface's body with Anytime's mask; even having a new sculpt doesn't really change that, it's just how the costume was designed in the movie.

I like Ram's mask, but I think Borg is the most visually striking of the three. his torso armor and gauntlets are very different (although his right gauntlet's little "hoses" interfere with his ability to bend his elbow, but whatever) and he comes with a neat little sword. He's also got the closed-mouth face sculpt, making him the only of my Predators to have one.

Definitely looking forward to more Predators from NECA. I'm not sure if I'll be getting a Dutch figure or not, I'll have to see it in person. I mean Dutch is pretty cool and all, but NECA kind of already fulfilled my "Schwarzenegger action figure" niche with their Terminator stuff.

I'm looking forward to Big Red and whatever their Kenner homage figure ends up being, although I hope they don't take the easy way out and have it be the Renegade Predator and just do a repaint of Anytime or something. I'm not sure if I'll get the improved Anytime or not. I mean having more articulation is cool and all, but the one I've got is getting the job done just fine. If that's $18 I can save for a NECA figure I actually want, then I think that's a better use of my money.

Yeah I wanted Warrior the most, but after seeing Borg, hes definitely the best of the bunch. His futuristic armor and awesome green paint job really make him stand out.

All three really are fantastic. Now I really want a redo of Anytime and the Elder, to complete the collection. Then, bring on Dutch and his team...particularly Blaine!

I agree, those god forsaken swivel joints bring down those figures a lot, hope the new alien figures won't have them.

I'm definetly going to get all of the new Anytimes they put out. An open and closed mouth version using the whistish translucent-type plastic from the 1/4th and series 3 classic Anytime will look better than the yellowish plastic used on the ones we have now.

More than llikely they will be put out like this:

November: Get open mouth Anytime (with the new plastic) with wounded City Hunter in TRU exclusive 2-pack

Series 8- Closed mouth Anytime (with the new plastic), 2 different Dutch's

Series 9- Masked Anytime (using the improved Scout's mask), and 2 more Dutch's

I always prioritize masked Predators and I hate getting duplicates, so I'll be passing on the unmasked Anytime entirely. I've got plenty of unmasked Predators from the Lost Preds. :)

5!! WTF I don't even think Dutch had that many different looks in the movie
-normal/first arrival
-later on/ sans the undershirt
- mud covered
- battle damaged
What are they gonna give him the outfit he has when he meets Dillon?

Its NECA, they'll find a way to squeeze money out of as many variants as possible.

I think they will make these outfits:

First arrival:


Green/camo shirt:


Without the shirt:


mud covered:


and a battle damaged figure from the "encounter" scene (maybe in a 2-pack with the masked new-articulation P1):

I still think the shirtless version and mud covered is enough.
