And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

I picked up a Carnage and Black Cat recently. Does anyone need them? $21.17 each, plus shipping.

Thanks dude. They arrived yesterday.

I guess I'll have to buy Electro and Beetle now so I can complete the Goblin.

Well in addition to the one Predator we've already seen, the 8 bit one, I'm stoked about the other 7, and I really like that vehicle that the one is coming with. I'll be picking up all of those.

Same here. It's amazing that in this day and age, NECA is able to produce these high-quality, affordable figures based off of decades old movies. If 5 years ago you would have told me I would have every single Alien and Predator, plus Marines, plus Dutch, I wouldn't have believed you.

Yet here we are, not some $60 japanese import or online exlusive, just a regular figure you can walk into your local toys r us and buy.

Minor nitpick but it would be really nice if NECA would finally do a netless mold for the preds. Is kind of jarring to see the unpainted net on every. single. one.

The second Kenner wave is a also a little uninspired, while series 12, 8-bit pred and the blade fighter are loving awesome.

Apparently the nets were unpainted because they just got the samples from the factory, the final releases will have the netting painted on.

But yeah, the blade fighter is amazing, and should only cost around $70. For the price, a vehicle and a pack-in figure, it is definitely worth it. I love that NECA will take risks like this and make larger items. The power loader looks amazing as well.

Agreed, hopefully the Blade Fighter won't have a limited run like the trophy room. Never saw the thing here on Mexico.

Have any of their figures had spring-loaded missiles? The moment you start including projectiles in your toy designs, you open up an enormous can of worms regarding toy safety regulations and poo poo. A lot of the super-kickass missiles on the old Kenner toys (from all sorts of lines - Jurassic Park, Batman, AvP, you name it) wouldn't clear modern US safety regulations. That's why the US reissues of old 1980s G1 Transformers toys have the springs removed from their missile-launcher accessories.

But doesn't the fact that these are "adult collector" geared toys make them exempt from that firing missile rule?

I don't think so, not if they're selling them in mass-market retail toy stores. The G1 reissue Transformers were ostensibly geared towards "adult collectors" (or at least, if you spent that much money on them and then let your kid play with them, you were kinda an idiot) but they still had neutered missile launchers.

If you absolutely need missiles, a friction firing system is much safer and has less chance of long-term damage to the figure.
