UPDATE: Tankman's a douche...haha. He's attacking me over me calling his dumb looking Predator...well..dumb.
He's making his company look rather professional with his insults.

I get the feeling NECA makes their figures for people who want to keep them in the package. I took out my hoodless Ezio and both of his hidden blades snapped trying to pull them out, he hates standing for the most part, and, while it's not necessary, I don't like that he has no scabbard for the sword. Add that to my googly-eyed Gizmo and I'm not please with them at the moment. I think you just got a shitty Ezio to be honest. The blades are fine on the one I have, and while his leg movement is hampered by his outfit skirting, he still stands well. I use the frog-esque slitting on the left hip to store the sword. I could be wrong here, but I don't think Ezio ever used a scabbard.

My Jack Sparrow has soft legs and falls over all the time, too. I've had to prop him up against Madam Martuus' fortune teller case. Yeah, I guess Ezio doesn't use a scabbard, the items just sit on his hip until you whip 'em out, but still.

I get where you're coming from, and I AM definitely a sucker for having all sorts of cool areas on figures to store their accessories and shit (nothing worse than a figure that comes with 114 weapons and you can only fit 2 of them on him)...but this time, I think NECA got it right by sticking with an accurate depiction.

It was definitely a personal gripe, not a production one for that. But I guess since his wrist blades are crap-ass garbage now, I have no need to pose him any other ways than with the sword. ;D As for accessories, I'll take as many as makers want to stuff in the box. I love storing little shit in bigger shit.

Bought the Shaman and City Hunter Preds this weekend. Really cool, but NECA went overboard on the gloss. Especially on the heads. The new articulation is awesome. NO breaks or stuck joints.

I got Police Station Terminator yesterday. That's an awesome figure. Are his sunglasses matte black? They were on every one (technically three) that I saw. These guys all had weird frosted tips, too. Does yours?

Does yours? They're matte black. I thought about giving them a glossy finish somehow, but I still think the glasses look great. And I think the hair does have the frosty tips. The store only had two to pick from, and since the other one was missing the guns I didn't look too closely at the paint apps.

I have to say, I think it would be an awesome figure, but NECA has been fucking up the paint on the Terminator and Predator Lines something fierce. meantime, Gears of War continue to look great. Go figure

They look like shit in the pics. MUCH better when not under a bright light. Better than the McF versions by far. Not sure why they are being compared to Hot Toys though. No contest.

The paint apps look like shit in any light, and while technically more accurate than McFarlanes, they are no where near as clean.

Saw the new Preds, they look decent. I'm a little bummed that I haven't seen Nightmare series 2 yet at Toys R Us. I wonder what the hold-up is.

@celtic
Your pics of City Hunter look rather orange-ish as opposed to mine. Paint apps aside, NECA's City Hunter beats the living piss out of McF's. Especially in the articulation department.
I know where that Predator 2 arsenal poster came from. A couple of different DC Comics titles from 1990 ran that as a promo. Still have one buried in storage. Not to mention I have the full size poster of it as well. Both seem to be rare nowadays.
Back on topic:
Series 4 Predators are selling quite well. The joints are excellent and I haven't heard of any breakages like Series 3 had. Besides the paint app complaints, you can't get much better for the money.

Just snagged City Hunter today. The new leg articulation is all kinds of cool, and mine is much more rust colored than orange. Maybe CP was using a flash or somethin'?

I've seen orangish markings on a couple of these at TRU. NECA isn't known for being very consistent with paint apps these days, you know.
