Mezco Toyz Predator

[skull-splitter]

Pulled the trigger and ordered both Predator and Alien. I've mostly collected NECA's for the better part of the past fifteen years or so and my girlfriend already hates my collecting habits, but these are too good to pass up upon, even at these incredibly steep prices...
They do make a nice pair for on my desk or there about.

Do you have all, what was it, like seven versions of Wolf from back in the day? NECA milked Wolf for all he was worth but can't give us an Ultimate.

I have one, and that's enough.

So...I spoiled myself and ordered one of these after Christmas. It finally arrived and I opened it yesterday. This is my first "high end" collectible, I never owned any Hot Toys, mostly just NECA figures. I fear for my wallet as I don't want to go back. Even the simple things like ever single dreadlock being entirely separately. The quality of this figure is astounding. The paintjob is just so good. My only issue is its a little fincky - one of the hands was a little awkward to get on, the shoulder cannon fell out a few times while I was getting bits on, but it's all put together now.

I'm really tempted to get the Alien next.

Man looking back this toy had a long journey. Announced in 2020, went for preorder in 2021 and released in 2022.

I'm not really an expert on the finer toy details. I think @RidgeTop is planning on doing an unboxing/review video though.

Still haven't heard from the place I ordered from, might contact them next week.

Checked the website and they have both the Predator in stock and the Alien too, yet he didn't process them :')

Mailed to check in too.

Where did you get it from if you don't mind me asking?

I received my figure by the end of December from Entertainment Earth, so thankfully there were no big delays for me. 

My thoughts on this figure:

Initially, when I opened up the box, I was disappointed with the paint job around the face and dome area. The speckles/paintwork along the dome are much lighter than what's showcased in some of the advertised photos which was a bummer to me...
Despite that though, its still a nicely detailed figure made with materials that seem more refined than other brands. I like that they used actual mesh material and loincloth. I also really love the draped bone necklace- kind of reminiscent of my old Jungle Hunter McFarlane figure that I used to own back in middle school.

Its details stand out even more when compared to some of the Neca Predator figurines.
I would have used my Jungle Hunter Neca figure to compare the two but it's currently in storage. So Scar (and Ahab) will have to do for some quick reference.












All in all, I think it's a great addition to my collection.

Gotten mine in, the color indeed is a bit on the bright side, but the sculpt and build quality are damn good. Electronics work, I am a happy customer.
