They have their issues, but I can't say I understand your apparent extreme dislike of NECA. It's not like every McFigure that came out was perfect.

Me? I'm completely serious and not dicking around at all. I also believe every McFarlane figure that every came out was completely perfect, especially the sloppily painted Halo Emile and Pirate Spawn 2 that I inexplicably purchased.

I also completely dislike the really amazingly well painted Kratos and Dementor that I love and bought a few years ago.
Oh, and I hate all the horror figures that I bought from them, especially the Michael Myers and NOES 2 Freddy that I absolutely adore.

Bionic kidneys could help, too.

I have vat-grown velociraptor kidneys; they work pretty well.

I got the new Steel Mill T-1000 yesterday. Very cool figure.
I think I might have to track down some more of the NECA T2 figures...

DO any other Toys R Us' do this? At my local one, all the brand spanking new Terminator figs are on an end-cap, facing the back wall (like the sort of place where clearance stuff would go). Even now, fast approaching Christmas, every single Terminator remains, unbought. If you want a T1000, Mags, let me know. They also have the MK figs there, but it's no surprise that they want to hide them ;D

I won't be buying that line, but that's a great looking figure. Wonder if they will be able to get the paint apps fairly decent on it....

I'm going to sound like I'm shitting on NECA again (fucking sue me), but as inaccurate as the shape of Turd's Predator 2 mask was, it didn't have the exaggerated texture the NECA figure has and was a much better representation of that in scale, IMO. Maybe Randy needs to hire a few more people away from the Canuck Who Loves Balls.

Even if he doesn't work for Tard anymore, I think Tankman needs to man up, find the guy he apparently hates so much who sculpted the MM6 Predator 2 and beg him to show him how to sculpt a proper hammered texture in 7 inch scale. The helmet literally looks like something that was fucking sand cast. Shrunk down to 1/12 it just shouldn't look that way.

Most of Todd's stuff is 3-D rendered now. Very little hand sculpting is done at TMP. Oh, and they love their rapid prototyper. NECA, on the other hand, is all about hand sculpting with little 3-D rendering. That said, I own a lot of McF's Predators and they all look like shit compared to NECA's. The shape/mold of every single Predator by McF was way off. The only thing McF had on NECA was better paint apps. If the hammered look of NECA's City Hunter mask is eating at you that much, fill it in, sand it down, hammer it to your liking, repaint it, and walk away knowing it's up to your liking/standards. I realize having to do this to a figure is a pain in the ass but at least you can say it's the best-looking one out there. And there are plenty of boards on the SideShowFreaks that can help with customizing ideas.

I picked up the new Predator wave at Hastings today. Pretty cool set, I especially like the Boar predator.
Anybody hear if that Splicer wave of Bioshock has been cancelled? I preordered it last Xmas, I think. I really want that Spider and Brute splicer/s.
That Left for Dead fat-ass is sooo gross, definately a must have!

Doesn't Gort have gray skin in the little picture on the back of the Series 4 package? Glad somebody came to their senses. Now if they could only reign in the paint issues...they'll probably start snapping at the elbows and knees. No no, I keed, I keed. Seriously, though, I want these guys to be better so fucking badly.
