A: upset about the price and are "sour graping" it.
B: hate the AVP movies so therefore bag on the Predator choice being The Wolf, or...
C: they just don't understand Japanese toys, the materials they use, and some of the concepts and designs they implement (such as Revoltech-style joints, and limbs and parts that easily disassemble.)

The only issue I've ever had with my Wolf is that it's tough to get the bio-masked head on at times due to the top of the head being really spikey (leading it to be physically painful to swap out) and the mandibles fitting a little loose one the open mouth set (my closed set fits fine.) His shoulder armor plate will come off on occasion when posing, but again, it's the nature of nearly all Japanese toys to have parts fall off like that, and they plug back in easily and stay put once I'm done posing the figure, so it's never an issue. It's a shame people hate, but it's their right, and in my eyes...their loss.

On the scale question, As we all know, since all 6 inch scales are done differently, if it's closer to Marvel Legends six inch scale, I'd say the SH Monster Arts one would fit better to scale. If it's done in a 6" scale closer to SOTA Toys Street Fighter Line, then I would say the Neca predator would be better, as the Neca Pred stands in near perfect scale next to some of the larger characters in that line (namely Sagat and T.Hawk, who both are over 7 feet tall in the game.)

My apologies for not having a Sagat figure out of the package that I could easily access...but at least you can make the comparison here pretty good. Sagat stands about 7'4" in the game, so I'd say it's about right.


And while I'm at it...MKX has me drooling right now. I BADLY wanted Jason Voorhees in the last one, especially after Freddy showed up, and now that he and the Predator are showing up...I'm sold. I hope that they eventually do throw Freddy back in there as future DLC, as he was a pretty well thought out character, and a nice breath of fresh air in the midsts of all those ninjas.



Action Figure Displays used to make awesome diorama backdrops for MOTUC, G.I.Joe, and a few generic displays (such as jungle or desert backdrops) but unfortunately the company folded not too long ago. If you don't mind printing up some of your own though, I highly recommend checking out [CG Textures] - Textures for 3D, graphic design and Photoshop!. They have thousands of large, high quality images that could very easily be printed onto poster or photo paper.

That Predator you have it's an SH arts one, aren't those big bucks? i think they look great looking. As for the MKX game, you would think they would later on try working freddy into it. i ended up getting rid of the last one so i never had the opportunity to DL him for it. you know how MK games goes, after you beat the story mode, and you even beat it on hard, it just becomes repetitive and boring. i'll be definitely buying this new one with predator and jason.

as for background images, i've been trying to find something for my shelves and figured the best thing for it would be a printed out image for which ever line of figures i have. just time is always a problem lol.

This damn Scavage took another 2 tumbles on me again this time on hard floor... luckily nothing broke. i just moved my ikea shelf to my "man cave " room lol i now have him on the shelf with the others but with a large old pillow on the ground just in case him or anything else decide to fall because everything was moved just now.



Scavage looks good with the others !!
