NECA Predators Series 10 Hive War 7-Inch Action Figure - Ultimate Collectible for Movie Fans, Gift for Sci-Fi Lovers - Perfect for Display, Photography, and Action Figure Collections

This figure has to be hands down the best predator figure of all times I hope NECA continues to make Kenners predator figures and hopefully ALIEN !!!!! but lets get to the figure so the package he's in Is a blister pack and an awesome old school predator design which is simply legit and when you turn the box around you will see a bio of this guy and what he his all about very interesting plot now NECA said that there going to be making stories behind every predator figure from the Kenner series so far I'm liking it, alright the accessories he come with is his plasma caster which is optional to put on or not I prefer to keep it off cause it henders the head movement and over looks better and this monstrous scythe now the story about this guy, Hive Wars Predator and a group of other predators go to the Xenomorph home world and the xenos took all them out except for one and for years he strayed out of the sight the creatures made weapons out his ship and supplies listen I don't want to ruin the story behind him. lets talk about the details so his mask is the exact same as City hunter predator but there's a unique design to his mask it's almost a boney look that comes close to resemble the xenomorph. plasma caster is the same just with a little blue silverish look, now his wrist gauntlet is superb has that techno look to it and his blades have serrated edges really nicely done. I believe the fan favorite of this guy is his neon green eyes and his scythe is so massive this predator makes berserker Predator look like a sissy like seriously haha. now finally the pain apps now like most predators there either grey or tannish color but this dude is like icy blue color and he seems to be slimy looking then most Predators idk if that just me but to me he does also his bio mask has silver tone to it with a little blue on it which brings out that mysterious look. for his eyes if you look extremely carefully light helps a lot use your iPhone flashlight and jeez even NECA gave his eyes or screen like hexagon shapes to it when I did that I flipped out yeah yeah laugh but that was like holy crap moment they took the time do that haha now only one gripe about this on mine his right arm where the joint is located the paint on it is chipping away. If your fan of predator or like to collect alien and predator stuff jeez your in for a treat I am going to get lava planet pred and Nightstorm pred both looks amazing Highly recommend this figure.Articulation: Head ball joint, ball joint shoulders, swivel at the elbows, swivel wrists, waist cut, ball joint thighs, double knee joints, and ball joints at the feet.Paint Apps: PhenomenalHeight: 7 inchesOverall Score: 10/10Mine came undamaged, properly boxed up, and padded w peanuts. Figure looks PERFECT, tons of detail and NO paint mistakes. I would say buy w confidence, this 3rd party seller cares, shows they know that we're collectors that want the card intact & not damaged.I'm super happy w this purchase, even at over $70, it was totally worth it to have this legendary Predator.This became one of my favorite Predators the moment I opened him up. He has all the articulation you've come to expect from NECA's updated Predator line, but has several new pieces that let him stand out from being just another repaint kit bash. His story goes that he used parts of his crashed ship to make his armor, and it really shows. I'm not a huge fan of his sickle, but it's a good change from the other weapons they normally come with.The only problem I have with mine was the right elbow. The paint dried in the joint and seems to have fully welded it shut. I tried the hot water and hair dryer trick, but it still refuses to budge and I'm scared of breaking the connecting piece.I wish this guy had a removable mask like the original, but overall is a better variant compared to the oversized head on his Kenner namesake.The two-handed scythe handles well and is flexible so don't worry if it looks warped. The wrist blades, although not retractable, make for a menacing appearance.Gear-wise, this is essentially a basic "hunter" predator figure, like the original movie predator, just repainted and with a different wrist blade, helmet, and staff. 4 stars only because the mask can't be removed.This guy is really cool. But i wish that the legs could spread father apart but no big deal. And his shoulder canon is a little tough to get on but when you do it stays in place well. Its just that the dread get in the way. But everything else about this is great. i saw another review for this predator where the arms broke of when the kid was playing with it. His kid would have to have been way to rough with his predator or it was a 1 in a million defective one, cause its pretty solid. All in all i recommend this predator. I really hope neca keeps making predators or atleast release some new big red predators. The 70+ bucks they are asking for it is ridiculous.For aliens indeed... this bad blue guy is supossed to hunt on hives full of alines armed with his high tech sythe. Is pretty standard on sculpt but the new weapon and the blue paint make it stand out from the rest of the collections. If you are going for hunt all this guys, this is a very nice addition to your shelve and will make it bright next to the bir red and wasp figures.Bought this for my sons birthday and it’s his favorite present. Complaints-hands come off easy and the shoulder cannon doesn’t stay on well. More for collection than playing.Another perfect predator to add to my collection. This item will not be opened. This price was good at $16.99. The shpping from amazon was well done. The figure came in with no dents or scratches. This figure is different from the original ones. The facial and body features are still unique but blue. NECA continues to impress me. Thank you.My son has developed a fondness for the old ugly-mug Predator guys, he has half a dozen of these Nica figures, and they all look really cool, including this crazy bleeder, which I think is a newer addition, and is based on comic/graphic book stories. really we'll-made, nice articulation and impressive detail. Keep an eye on the price though they tend to fluctuate on Amazon. I got it for about sixteen quid, and I suppose they are quite collectible. If you are into the whole Predator thing, treat yourself or one of your loved ones - or buy a few and stick them on the mantelpiece, the wife will love them too!!Don't buy neca products. They sell the molds to bootleggers that produce the fakes. All purchased here are suspect.LOOKS WELL IN MY DISPLAY. THANKS.Got a big smile from Nephew nicely made.Looks good painted well very detailed for the price
