If you knew anything about the original Predator the Gort mask was his original mask for P1 and they decided not to use it on screen and it was recycled in P2 for the Guardian so in fact what NECA is doing is giving us an accurate Classic Predator with the original concept Gort mask and a new bloody skull and spine accessory.

Bottom line is I would rather spend my $160 on 10 different accurate NECA Predators then 1 inferior and not movie accurate Hoy Toys version

Yada yada yada. I know very well that the Gort mask was to be the original mask, but guess what....it wasn't. I do happen to have every single Predator and AVP movie there is on blu ray btw. But I'm sorry, Gort didn't actually show up untill the end of Predator 2, and he sure wasn't wearing the original pred armor+gort mask....he was wearing armor just like City Hunter. So you wanna talk about accuracy? If they're gonna call him Gort Predator, they need to make the Gort Predator. I don't give a shit what was gonna be, I go by what was.

As far as Neca's "accuracy"...I say that's bullshit. I look at their sculpts and I don't see where they are so much more accurate than Hot Toys. Bottom line HT may be more expensive, but you get what you pay for, and that's more detail, more accessories, and more articulation. I'll take that everyday all day over just a tiny bit more accuracy (bullshit) on a figure that looks like it was painted by a two year old, and has articulation that could only keep a toddler amused.
