Predator Series 5 New Photos and Info

[itMFtis]

How is the articulation in these newer Predator figures? I used to collect the old ones where everything was swivel (shoulder/hips) or hinge (elbow/knees) and was considering buying one of these.

Some of the ones on the pegs seemed sort of molded in a pre-posed position which was a huge turn-off.

they are very articulated. new hips, knees and waist articulation.

My wife saw ET with the wig she's all "hey! that looks like my nana"

The articulation has improved tremendously, in the hip and waist area especially. Now the hips are ball jointed swivels instead of the awkward diagonal cut joints. The early Predators line reminded me of all the Spawn figures I collected as a kid.

I collect mainly Hot Toys Predator/Comic characters as well as Transformers figures....and since wave 4 (The P2 Lost Clan) I have been majorly impressed with these Neca Preds. I can't say the same for Neca's earlier Predator offerings.

I am looking forward to having Gort and Snake hanging with their Hot Toys counterparts. Stalker looks cool too.

Hoping Forbidden Planet UK will stock the Guardian, he looks fantastic!
Snake looks neat too, but I'm a bit mixed on Stalker. His proportions look a bit... off.

Does the Guardian Predator look the same as Gort Predator from ComicCon 2011?

Same helmet, different body. The SDCC one was the Gort mask on it's intended wearer, the first Predator. This is it's intended wearer after it's use was scrapped in Predator and was recycled to Predator 2.
