NECA Predator Figure Series

[(Bad Blood)]

So can anyone share some good newa on the Ultimate Lost Tribe Preds? BBTS has nearly all of them in stock. While I've been lucky in the past with NECA Preds (as in no breaking) I've been just as unlucky. These are 41 bucks and I'm fearful of buying one only to have it break. I haven't bought a NECA Predator since Fugitive in 2019, and before that the AVP wave with Elder Predator from AVP 2004. Are they worth it? Or is the risk not worth it for 41 dollars?

So basically, all but Ultimate Snake and Ultimate Elder and Ultimate Shaman have a stuck hip joints on either left or right on every copy, nearly every single review and all the ones I purchased. So I would stick with Snake, Elder and Shaman if you get any, i bought two elders and no issues, same with snake and shaman.

Damn, that sucks ass. I was wanting to get Warrior. Oh well.

yeah I understand completely how you feel, I bought two and they both had that issue. Supposedly you can fix the hip joint issue by applying dish soap on the part the legs connect to the body. Never tried it myself though.

Yeah I've heard about all the tricks you can do to take care of joint issues on NECA Predators. But I firmly believe these tricks shouldn't be necessary at all. Guess we just gotta accept it and move on. Doesn't look like the license will be changing hands any time soon.

I must say I am really liking this Ultimate Elder Predator/Greyback. Sorry for the dark photos, I just thought it looked cool lol.

The eye shine is a built-in feature?

When's that Neca Feral coming out? Or has it gone the way of Ultimate Wolf?

Feral is just slated as "coming soon".

In some kind of miracle, the rest of the Lost Tribe shipped from Entertainment Earth.

This leaves me with room for one more Predator on my shelf.

The question is, do I want it to be Feral, or a hypothetical Wolf Predator who will likely never be made?

[Wweyland]

Lost Predators is no longer lost?

The one who is both cool and good.

That's the thing, they both are!

Wolf's more toyettique, Feral's actually in a good film. So choose wisely.

Quite good film...

[Corporal Hicks]

An excellent film. I'd much prefer a masked Feral figure (I still dislike the unmasked appearance) over a Wolf.

[Master]

Different tastes I guess 😉 I like Feral's masked appearance and if I ever get the figure this is the way I'll display it. What really grinds my gear is the way he acts and feels is more in line with Superpredator's of Game Preserve Planet then their Classic counterparts (using overkill weapons, more straightforward and less subtle tactics, but also designed choice like lack of netting and bone elements infused with technology).
