A while ago I had a blog about the alien toys Hot Toys makes. In that blog I mentioned that the closest thing to that kind of quality was an alien that I learned was from Neca. Neca and Mcfarlane, which the latter I will do my next blog, are two different toy companies. Both of them have around the same scale figures and both of them do Aliens and Predator without the foot tall size which is a little big for my tastes and the price which is hard on a 13 year old collector like me. That alien by the way also came with a base big enough for the predator that came with it, some eggs, and some facehuggers.
The predator in the two pack wasn't the best figure. It had not very much articulation but some good detailing although I felt the head wasn't proportionate and the dreadlocks were to thick and short.
Some of Neca's predators
Neca has made eight AVPR (aliens vs predator requiem) figures even though six of these were just different variations of the same predator (masked, invisible, battle damaged ect.) Technically nine though because the predalien has a version with fangs spread outward and one where they are closed. The warrior they made has no variations. All of these figures have great detail and articulation, only the aliens lack in accessories.
My favorite predator about to get jumped. Note the detail and the poses you can get them in.
I only have the one figure from this series which is the un battle damaged, unmasked, non stealth predator. Right now he is my favorite predator due to his detail, articulation, accessories, and size. The one cool thing about all the variants is that half of them come with a facehugger and chestburster instead of predator weapons. They also made the alien from Alien and the alien from Aliens but I think they have no accessories. They made a but load of predators from all of their movies at 36. These all have good detail, articulation, and accessories. Neca has two Prometheus figures out with the engineer with the bulky pilot suit seen in Alien and the lighter weight suit at the end of Prometheus all though they are expected to make more. They have made 16 different Terminator toys so far of which I have 1. The detail is great and definitely looks like Arnold but it only has 1 accessory and very little articulation.
Their alien from AVPR. It looks awesome.
The predalien. What they used for the movie could have been better but the figure is great.
There's the rundown on my favorite horror movie toys from Neca. Some blog ideas would be appreciated. Bye!
Funny pic. Think back to the movie Princess Bride.
Apparently also by Tina in 2003 who did the last drawing. The queen looks the same but the warriors have spikes on the head. Perhaps Praetorians?
