As I mentioned in the "look what I just got" thread, I decided to head over to TRU this morning while out picking up some meds, when I ran into a case of the Kenner AVP two pack, freshly unpacked and awaiting inspection on the shelf.

My opinions on it though...I was kinda disappointed. The Xeno looks great, with some nice silver details and wash, but the Predator looked a lot brighter and beer colored than I expected. The grey highlights were also a bit darker than I expected to. Maybe it was the lighting in Joe's recent photo gallery, which really managed to hide it, but it comes off a little messier and way more pastel colored in hand. Couple it with the unpainted netting, and the cream colored mandibles, it comes off as a little bit distracting. Not to say that it's a dealbreaker however, as it gives the Predator it's own nostalgic feel, it just depends how much you care about those sort of things...



Here's a little bit of a buyer beware as well. If you plan on opening up these guys, take the time to inspect the package like others are saying. For some reason, NECA used an entirely different tray mold for the Predator, and as a result, he doesn't sit properly in the packaging tray after the accessories were added. I got lucky, as the plasma cannon was turned inside of the packaging allowing it some space to fit properly, but the others not so much, and as a result nearly every single plasma caster on each set was either broken off, smooshed badly into the predator's head and shoulder or bent in some horrible 90 degree angle. This is also something that can be seen in Joe Moore's recent photo shoot with the set, (it's very noticeable in photos 31, 35, 36, and 38.) So pay careful attention to it, especially the swivel crane piece that secures the blaster to the shoulder pad. We all know how delicate those little parts tend to be, and I'd hate for them to break off on you immediately after busting these guys out of the packaging.
