''want some candy?'' very cool figure

[@Sad-nh3uf]

Darkside84 ss S

[@devilishgenius]

neca predator and aliens are too good. I'm amassing a small army of them

[@tylerthorson2610]

the arm attachment is a side blaster if memory serves. he used it only once ment as last resort. personally want the jungle hunter ultimate but might pick this up as well.

[@muisverriet]

The thing on the gauntlet is a spike gun. He only uses it once in the movie.

[@Predaguy]

That's not actually the spear gun, it's another one-shot plasma caster. He uses it once in the movie after his shoulder-mounted plasma caster is damaged.

[@muisverriet]

predaguy You're right. It's been a while since i've seen Predator 2.

[@yarmen1268]

+Jarmo Verriet actually it's a one shot rocket launcher

[@matthewdenz1045]

@@muisverriet That is the same arm the spike launches from. The movie outfit had a little slot on the under side of the wrist where it would should out of, but it usually isn't noticable on figures

[@adamgallyot9063]

It's called the Energy Flechette

[@willthecollector3213]

Always been a masked guy, if he comes with a mask, that's he'll be displayed with.

[@callmecal5067]

It does come with a mask because I have the fig.

[@jameshead833]

Same

[@pitbullproductions927]

The face is the coolest part

[@danteauditore39]

Well yeah, they're some ugly mother fuckers

[@MiguelRuiz-db6xu]

4:15 it's a wrist blaster. The City Hunter used it after Harrigan damaged the shoulder cannon :>

[@randallpohl5408]

you are correct on the hair dryer to the torso. both upper and lower are on ball pegs, upper is a double, lower is a single. a hair dryer will pop them free of any paint residue and give great ab crunch. a hair dryer to the dreds will loosen them up as well. heat it up really good, then replace the head while dreds are still hot. shape them to fit body better for more range on the head. this method works fantastic on the larger preds like the avp preds.

[@vinnieglynn4572]

The first star wars black series figure i bought had some pretty rough paint and that was roughly the same price point, really can't be the price/quality ratio on these neca predators! Only issue i have with your review is that it's now made me £24 lighter because ive had to purchase it haha, great content definitely one of my favourite youtubers!!

[@AnthonysCustoms]

thanks a lot for the support!

[@lordcchancleta9579]

i prefer removable mask

[@raymonds9949]

the city hunter looks so cool and I like it more with it's mask on and the thing on it's arm is a launcher that shoots a blade out.

[@Predaguy]

Another possible QC issue that's been rampant with this guy is that the hinge on the flip-screen of the gauntlet computer is really fragile, so you might have to be really really careful when opening or closing it. It actually broke off on mine but I managed to save it with a bit of superglue and a thicker rod of metal than what was originally in there.

[@rudylete]

lol just opened mine and broke it inmediately...

[@1981troyboy]

mine too. it was broken in package

[@ryanrobinson2081]

Me 3

[@atomicj-man4196]

Me 4...

[@Novapoid]

IMO recent Necas (since 2 years ago) have been looking GREAT and you're 100% right that for 25$ it's an amazing deal; my issue with NECA is that a lot of ppl report QC issues, which for someone who can't buy them in the US and has to actually pay more for it is a very risky endeavour....even for ppl who actually pay that price can be kinda tricky if it's so luck of the draw. My other gripe is that no matter how many NECAS I see, they function more like statues that can move than actual action figures. The range is there when you go through articulation by each limb, but as a whole they aren't as dynamic. Having said that, Predators aren't exactly martial artists so I would still buy a couple.

[@jakejones4801]

Novapoid hey, having QC issues with Neca figs, contact their customer service on Twitter, on of my predators had a major defect on the head, I tweeted them, they followed me ( so I could dm them) I dm a pic of the problem with my shipping address and it was sent 100% free in 3 days in a nice bubble envelope and I got a fixed head 👌🏼 the more ya know

[@yakthekuza7296]

Predators are a lot faster then you think

[@uryakstalajwqm9219]

*WANT SOME CANDY?* City Hunter 1990

[@Tomball-oi8no]

TheUnseenGhillieGhost 69 or would it be 1997 because the film is set in 1997 but hey who am I kidding “WaNT SomE CaNdy”

[@hotrod2391]

That is my favorite Predator. Thanks for reviewing it.

[@robertott9083]

He's my favorite out of the series. And he comes with Bill Paxtons skull

[@maxt4803]

i have the 2 pack version with berserker predator of the figure and there was no problems with it and I got it for £41. Honestly the qc issues aren't affecting me and the fact that you can get awesome stuff with a figure this cheap is better than a hot toy which can cost £250.

[@Magikknight76]

Fantastic review Anthony!!! I absolutely love this figure. As for posing them with or without the helmut im about fifty fifty it all depends on the Predator...

[@fvlramos3184]

Just bought this..definitely worth it..

[@shannonedge9386]

That's the 1st issue City Predator there were 2 more reissues! This one has the old short upper torso and really pitted helmet. The reissues have better paint and articulation than this one!

[@jaytheartman610]

For me it’s a mix of masked and unmasked. Sometimes if I feel like I want an unmasked preddy I take it off is I feel like a masked one I leave it

[@Wuqing]

When i got mine from Big Bad toy Store, when i received it, i wanted to keep it as a unopened box, but my gut kept telling me to open it. So I did, and lucky i did, because the spear was broken on both ends. And the spear broken parts are not inside too! Got a replacement but when they send it, its was broken on one end still during delivery. Sad... only way was to jus glued it. So sad......

[@aethansantos8989]

The thing on the detonater is the energy flechette

[@kaaillautaroalarconnavarro7768]

here in chile, you can buy a ultimate predator for 45-55-60 dollars, depending of the more or less " legendary" or historical the predator figure is. the expensive are the older , like this one, and the cheaper are the arcade ones. avp aliens and predator are almost impossible to find. by the way, even if some predator figure comes with minor issues of paint or " weird eye- joint"...man, i make customs and accesories, and sculpt only an eye is a pain in the ass itself. anyone that can obtain this kind of figures for 25-40 dollars, can consider himself blessed from odin. just look at some other action figure companies..selling crack-looking faced toys for the same prices, without all this number of accesories..and with the half of articulation POINTS¡¡¡¡. awesome review, happy you have this beauty on your collection¡.

[@jimmyfiggs1969]

great review and i just bought thua it's Amazing

[@NoahR_]

I can't decide whether this guy or 1/4 Master Chief is my favorite NECA figure. They're both so well done.

[@AlphaDawgg13]

i do like neca, they give a lot of bang for your buck, but they break WAY too easily. All 3 of the neca figures ive bought broke or didnt work in some way or the other. 2 of them were broken out of the box. If they quality control was better id be in love with these.

[@vipshark12]

I like it with the helmet on it looks more cool. Nice video

[@dougquaid82]

My hip joints on this guy were incredibly loose with mine, he couldn't support his own weight, I want to fix it but I'm slightly worried I'll damage him further.. I love neca for the prices they charge and for the overall quality but it doesn't half suck when you get a dud.. Which with them can be quite a lot.. Still looks great when I can get him to hold a pose tho but I would suggest most be aware of that before you buy.. Get him in a store with a receipt and your golden.

[@my2randomcents]

The thing in the gauntlet is a bolt blaster, a small caster of sorts, your gauntlet actually is swiveled the wrong way the computer goes sidearmed not up

[@x_enomotofigs]

Cool vid Anthony. Which is your favorite predator figure so far from Neca?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

+x_enomotoFigs check my last two pred videos

[@jameshead833]

I like masked heads best as they tend to be more unique

[@davidberry2620]

Yeah the torso does have range mine had just the right stiffness

[@Dilopho]

great showcase, i got this one today

[@imnotatroller01]

already order mine and its already on the way

[@sdthghsghl]

Excellent review Anthony. I liked the unmasked version of this figure. Predators appeared in five movies. Predator 1, Predator 2, AVP, AVPR and last one was Predators 2010. Correct me if I was wrong.

[@Thegeobot]

Anthony what version is this? you can look it up in the bar code, i have the 11/08/16 version but i like yours better, please tell me!

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I don't have it anymore. This was the very first version they released though

[@Darkseid.of.Apokolips]

Hi Anthony ,which neca predator is your number 1 ?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Scar or scar face

[@kdakda426]

Im really lookin forward for future reviews of PLAYARTS KAI although i know you have given them up for quality and price points,but still,i think u do better reviews with honesty,better than other reviewers tat kiss asses for sponsorship.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

thanks. there are some ill be reviewing still.

[@garygwwalters712]

Great video you made. Thank you for your video. Keep up the great work you do.

[@Andrew-el8xi]

Just wondering if neca send you your figures just wanted to know if we get what we see . Because this looks really good ..

[@ChiefPeep]

The rope part around the waist broke on mine. Gotta be really careful with these type of figures

[@chrisgwilliam9893]

Tough choice! Personal Mask! 😷👍🏻

[@eloymartinez7695]

Wow this is a best predator figure ever for me i love the movie and love the predator quote said shit happens,want some candy,Danny boy.

[@abel_.tesfaye2642]

my thigh swivels is stuck and i dont know how to fix it , i try hairdryer and it doesnt help at all

[@bensoliz6276]

Try placing it in hot water

[@rileycr0552]

I usually go with the masked heads because they seem to be easier for neca to execute but I had to go with the unmasked head in this case. Just really well painted with lots of crisp detail, maybe the best I've seen in person. Great review btw!

[@noahlong1325]

Watching this in 2020 also found this funny “ absolutely yanks head off then says just make sure you be careful and don’t yank stuff around”

[@KollektorKahn]

Unfortunately nowadays these ultimate figures are very expensive

[@charandissanayake5337]

The arm thing that comes out is another plasma caster

[@NgChris389]

Great review ! great figure !

[@User-ELIT3]

0:51 me:WTF I PAID 30 Few seconds later o I bought my at best buy what scam

[@bilakos1987]

What the hell, your figures move so easily. My City Hunter is so stiff, some joints just refuse to move.

[@justamemer9903]

This is the only Predator figure I’d display without the mask

[@monkbop8044]

Honestly, I don't collect a line that's more annoying than Neca as far as changing hands and heads. So damn hard to get these things on, unless you have girly hands

[@Barbxtoes]

Kid: want some candy Predator: ????

[@iitzfade2247]

nice review

[@Goose_that_goes_honk]

The gauntlet on mine does not open it is just a solid peice

[@muisverriet]

[@jeffarab4947]

So big question MANDALORIANS VS PREDATORS. . . .

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Preference or who would win?

[@Ocram_sokart]

Good review. Great figure. Shit sequel.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

lol

[@Ocram_sokart]

When that came out I was told it was worse than 2. I didn't bother watching it. Why ruin it? Predators with Adrian Brody is the only sequel.

[@Rileyvill]

I've always liked P2. It gave us the main focus the Predator needed in 1 and I was happy with that.

[@Ocram_sokart]

Riley vill to each his own. Predator was Arnold. He was the predator. 2 you're totally right predator was the "alien" Danny Glover to me was just not believable he could beat a predator. No way. Chump change.

[@Ocram_sokart]

Simple Arnold was made of a harder material than a plasma cannon. If Adamantium and Vibranium made a baby. Arnold would be there to put it in a headlock.

[@devilishgenius]

great figure but I don't think I like the way the eyes look on the unmasked head

[@michaelmeux4137]

Maskless. Don't mind the mask but the best part about the predator is the face.

[@fartrellcluggins930]

where are you seeing this for 25 bucks? since Toys R Us is closed I'm looking on eBay and the scalping fuck holes want 50 to 70 for it

[@AnthonysCustoms]

1. look at the date of the video. 2. that's not scalping.

[@fartrellcluggins930]

yeah. it's less than a year old. it's not like a half a decade old piece. 70 is def scalping. only a scalper would take such a stance 😂

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I'm sorry you don't understand what the words mean. I'll help. That's not what scalping is. Additionally, the video was released when the figure was released. Retail price was 25. It was answerable at retail. Hope that helps even though I didn't use any emojis to convey the information.

[@fartrellcluggins930]

shucks, you told me, I'll throw my money right out the window and find the highest price I can find. thanks!
