Them small feet and the big head done struck again! I only need a base for Nightstorm of all my predators so you'll probably only need one for Scavage, so at least you'll have 9 spare stands for future needs. 8 of my 9 spare were taken by other non-predator figures with needs of stand assistance.

and save yourself sum coin on shipping TRU has both 10 and 20 packs and “if” yours doesn’t have them already you can put in(place) a request at your TRU to their NECA vendor to get you some in |

strangest thing is my TRU local to me doesn't seem to carry any neca items... i seen they had some mexco products, never have i seen anything from neca like predators... i guess i just happen to have one of the crappiest TRU stores in the country.

I ordered my NECA stands from Gamestop for 10$. If you do it in store you pay in store and get free shipping to your house. They call it Web in Store.

They arrived today! Cracked Tusk is the winner of the series for me. Here is every NECA Kenner Predator together, except for Scavage. I like Nightstorm's look more and I need the shelf space for Celtic when he releases.

NICE. The figures really pop when you line them up in a squad, highlighting all the different pigmentation and accents.
Thus far, I still have only Jungle Hunter. I can't believe how hard it is to line up some choice favorites on the secondary market. 'Scout?' 'Lost?' 'Battle Armor Lost?' 'Wasp?' HAHAHA! Good luck finding a listing. I haven't checked previous posts. Has someone already linked to the Visual Guide at the NECA website? It's updated periodically. 'Dark Horse' is next on my list. Rgds |

Rgds I was afraid the new guys would stick out on account of their unpainted nets, but they fit fantastically. Despite my skipping Scavage I can say series 10 is better than 13 in my opinion. Nightstorm > Scavage by colors (don't get me wrong I still dig Scavage from what I've seen), Lava > Cracked Tusk just barely but I love his translucent red, and Renegade > Hive Wars because his weapons are cooler and I like green more than blue. All 6 are just delightful though.

so you got both of them huh ? very cool !!! i'll pass on them til when and if renegade gets the yellowish color again and If cracked tusk actually comes with a head that shows his cracked tusk.
As for Nightstorm he does look cool looking. i noticed his arm blades are longer then Savage's blades. my figure stands came in, so i ended up using one. scavage is now standing and hopefully he'll stay there lol. Nightstorm's wrist-blades are pretty long and they do extend beyond how they are in the image I posted, but it's only like 2 centimeters longer when extended. I love their hook/scimitar vibe as it matches his Egyptian theme. Scavage's wrist-blades are actually just the blade from the camo-cloak Falconer, still cool.

They are making the AVP two-pack. Nothing official yet but I imagine it will be the khaki/blue skinned, brown armored Renegade and an alien (probably repainted Big Chap) with a purple-ish dome.

Standing proud since last February when the stands came out. Just keep him standing straight on a base somewhere stable and no issues should arise. I've never bothered giving Nightstorm (or Scarab if you like) an action pose, but I'm sure it's possible to find one that the base would still agree with.

I've lent all of my knowledge on the matter, you'll need to look into some kind of doll stand or something then because you're problem now exceeds my powers, or maybe try the other foot as the one pegged in and if that doesn't work then I'm bust.

maybe try choking up on the staff, use it as a third leg to prop him? if not you can apply a drop of super glue to the joint and wiggle it while it cures it'll stiffen up a bit.

Case in point, one of the very few figures that I'm missing from my Predator collection, is the original Falconer and Dog Tracker Predators. The only reason that I never picked them up when I had the chance, was that the line was still in it's infancy, and had really bad QC issues, as most of the ones that I ran into had either broken tusks or wrist blades. After coming into my tax money this year, I thought I'd give it a shot, but when I checked on them, lone behold they were hitting almost 100 bucks in some cases on the secondary market. Ridiculous. For an extra 60 or 70 bucks, I could get the Hot Toys versions of both characters. (Which I might end up doing in the long run...as I've been eyeing to make my first Hot Toys purchase in the Predator field, I just haven't been able to narrow down which one I'm willing to commit that sort of money to, since I love them all.)

It doesn't get more top heavy than the NECA FvJ Jason Voorhees, and if it keeps him standing, I don't see why it wouldn't work on your Predator there. Although, as I said, Kaiser makes them in multiple sizes and colors, so you can probably just go ahead and get some properly sized for your yautjas. The stands I use can be found on Amazon. Amazon.com: Kaiser Doll Stand 2075, Box of 12 - Black Doll Stands 6 1/2" to 11" Dolls: Toys & Games There are similar ones coming soon that are sold through BBTS that Pixel Dan and Shartimus Prime recently reviewed and gave solid marks. Those can be found here. 1/10 Scale Action Figure Stand Five Pack - Action Figure Accessories Accessories Hope that helps some...Good luck. |

i was just trying to reposition his legs, and i put him back on the shelf... i need to find some kind of prop or something for either behind him or somewhere near the front of him.

Maybe check a local hobby store, I got a doll stand at Hobby Lobby meant for an 8" doll (I use it to keep my blue alien warrior standing, he has bowed legs) that looks like it would be good for a predator. It wouldn't be aesthetically pleasing but it's under $2.

The super predator mold dates back to the first three waves from 2010 and 2011, when v-cuts were all the rage. Sadly the Nightstorm/Scavage staff isn't long enough to act as a support effectively.

This was my first NECA predator and it still ranks as one of my highest. It's not just my only movie based Jungle Hunter but it is also one of the coolest and best scenes from the movie.

My first was the Ahab Predator... i was interested in it, because i ended up getting into the Predator Fire and stone comic. after that i decided let me jump on him. while he was more on the expensive side for one of these, i recall getting him for $56 bucks i believe. after that i decided on getting into this toyline and as i did it just got me into old memories of my Kenner predators my mom bought for me when i was a kid.
