AVP 2 Figures from NECA
I’m boner inducing excited about the new Alien versus Predator film. Why you ask? Even though it is being made by two guys that have never made a real film before, there’s one thing they do know, bloody, bloody killing and I can’t be any happier. This film just might be the one that everyone wanted when the dog crap first AVP film came out.
NECA’s got some Predator figs that appropriately reflect how bad ass the Predators are:
Masked
Unmasked
I prefer the masked version, but either way that you go on these you’re doing okay. The biggest drawback with these figures is their lack of articulation. It’s the same thing that I disliked about the McFarlane Predator and Alien figures. They sure look sweet, but you can’t pose them much. Even the official articulation list on these guys are a little lackluster:
* Ball-Jointed Neck
* Ball-Jointed Shoulders
* Ball-Jointed Wrists
* Swivel Biceps
* Swivel Thighs
* Swivel Ankles
* Bendable Knees
* Retractable Wrist Blades
The big saving grace (if looks aren’t enough for you) is that they come with all kinds of nifty accessories. You know, Predators are pretty much a toy makers dreams. It’s not like they just come with some lame gun or something, they’ve got a whole bag-o-death tricks that transform very well into toy form. It also is the dream of the gremlins that steal all of my toy accessories. If you’re listening you jerks, I’m still looking for 90% of the parts to my Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors toys!

He looks malnourished. Hot Toys’s Predators FTW!

The one you have to dress yourself? No thanks. If I want to pay $100 for something with poor construction, I’ll buy a Zune…
