Had this guy not come in just before the weekend, FedEx would have ruined it. Waited all day Saturday for my pile of loot that tracking said was on the way, only for them to not show up at all. Curses.

At least I was finally able to pick up Falconer without breaking the bank. The bubble immediately fell right off the card as soon as I unpacked him, so I had to re-glue it to the card back before adding him to the wall of hunters...

You got one hell of a MOC collection sir !! I wish i could keep mine like that but im just to much wanting to bust them out and pose them as a tribe of preds.

I was very happy to find Bowser jr. last week at TRU. I saw 2 fresh cases , including Sheik, but I dont collect Zelda stuff.

iLLest · 02-22-2016, 12:17 PM

Funny the Predators being posted... I got my first today and I'm planning on collecting more.
I know this isn't the most sought after figure but I like it.

Not a most sought after at all but one of the coolest and most well received, Viper is technically NECA's first original Predator design. It's very cool too that they decided to make him a part of the Kenner homage line-up anyway even though he isn't based on any preexisting Kenner toy.

iLLest · 02-22-2016, 12:59 PM

I liked the Bad Blood Comic series a bit so I had to get him. I wasn't aware he hadn't been a figure yet, but I might get his Blade fighter when or if its available.

I found the Blade Fighter to be overpriced. It is big and it has some cool features and stuff but $100 is simply too much for what is mostly a static piece. The majority of its measured length comes from the claw-pincer section which is pretty much flat. Anyway yeah the original Blade Fighter from Kenner just used Scavage as the pictured pilot (though no figure was included) but NECA figured they should make their own unique pilot character. When they first revealed the set Viper was intended to come with the vehicle but then (perhaps from fan demand for Viper on his own) they removed him from the set and placed him in series 12 alongside Elder v2 and Enforcer while making Bad Blood his own deluxe release. Or maybe they chose to make Bad Blood a deluxe and then re-positioned Viper into series 12 to keep it at 3 figures. Either way Viper remains NECA's first 100% original predator, Battle-armored Lost has many original elements but is still ultimately a character from Predator 2 so he can't count as completely original.

Finally received this guy today through a trade.

It's a well done figure but I'm very disappointed that they didn't paint his eyes, especially since the eyes were a big part of the character design. I'm waiting for the upcoming Red Hood version.

PlayTime · 02-22-2016, 03:07 PM

Yeah, pretty major miss on their part. I almost want to do the eyes myself but I was thinking of finding stickers rather than use paint.

Thank you very much!

kylactus · 02-22-2016, 05:54 PM

So, I didn't like the old legends HB, or the baf, so I decided to skip, then you got the select version, and put up pics which inspired me to drive 90 minutes to a Disney store to get one. Now this! Where do you get your figure arts figures? That thing looks beyond amazing!

Also, how does he scale with mu, and legends?

Lol...Thanks! I get them @ BBTS. It scales perfect with the legends because it's a little taller than the BAF. For the MU I think it's way too big. I'll post more pics once I get a chance.
