Got more pics of my Guardian Predator (Gort) I get this is an old figure and all. but this IS the NECA Predator figure series thread. and just because it's old doesn't mean it's still not a worthy figure to try and get.
Age ain't but a thing. That's a really nice figure. And design. Shame it's harder to get hold of now.
Very true. sadly Scalpers try and buy as many of the figures as they can often out buying them before the collectors can get the second run of the figure. you can get it from NECA though but I don't like they jumping their prices like that. I get they are out of production but that's no excuse.
As for the figure mine is pretty cool I had some issues with the hip outer hinge joints being super loose (he did in-volunteer splits) and the thigh swivels being locked in place. some hot water easilly remedied that issue with the thigh swivel and a combination of superglue and floor polish fixed the hip hinges. other then thatthe figure is perfect, however he seems to have standing issues as his toes don't make contact with the surface he stands on so he topples like a building easilly with the slightest nudge of the desk.
beyond those issues I am happy with the purchase. sure he was 49.99 plus free three day shipping, (still a good deal IMO) but he uses the City Hunter body armor and articulation (I think), and I like the red, white, and black color scheme. it reminds me of one of a Kenner's JP dinosaur. (can't remember which). and I always liked the City Hunter's armor more then the first one's. (though I do think that one was awesome too, but I prefer Jungle Hunter's Plasma Caster backpack). if NECA does redo the Lost Tribe I'll be sure to get City Hunter and Jungle hunter in hopes that the mask assymbly is the same with Series 5 so I can do a mask swap.
