NECA Predator Trophy Wall Diorama
I have every single predator they have released, but Neca can go to hell with this one... it´s like sixty something bucks and "no skulls included". As a big plus they tell you "you still get a bonus skull" (that´s just cinism)
And before anyone jumps, the "third party, low production/high price" argument doesn´t feel to valid for a company like neca.
It´s really a shame cause I really wanted it, but I´m not paying that price for 3 plastic walls!
I was so excited for this diorama until I saw the price and that it DOES NOT come with the trophy skulls. That's $65 saved because I am NOT going to track down and buy the previous figs just for the skulls to put on this.
And I was really looking foward to this too.
Same feelings as above stated. I bought almost every single carded figure, so I could never justify buying the 2 packs just for the skulls and a slightly different figure, PLUS the Wall Dio being almost 3 times what I figured it would be. I was guessing 30$ , maybe 35$ bucks WITH the skulls , but NOOOOOOO, you get 1 big skull and 3 walls for 70$ some dollars???? I don't see why they won't make the extra skulls, you know they have the molds somewhere.
I feel like if you travel in the type of circles that allowed you to know this thing was coming out at all, you should have already known the skulls weren't included. NECA was very upfront about that. They've also said flat-out that this item is a reward for the fans who DID buy up the exclusives in order to get the skulls. Things cost money to make, molds and tooling aren't cheap, and there's no chance of a repaint/reuse. It is what it is. Don't buy it, I guess. At least I don't have to rely on other people buying it to ensure I get one, like I do with the third series of Gremlins.
And as far a a "reward", forget it!!! How can someone throw that price to their "valuable" fans and call it a reward?
I do understand the mold/tooling value, but sorry, we are talking about Neca here, not some small third party company doing 1000 pieces. This limited run they are calling it, sounds more like a market strategy to charge whatever they want for this and attract "willingly/innocent" collectors to buy it.
At least I already have good pictures to make my own reproduction. The skulls, I already have them.
Now, this whole thing got me thinking, what will the ED-209 price be? Not precisely a small figure...
Wait, did the Alien skull appear in the second Predator movie?
It's been a while but I'm pretty sure it did.
As for the piece itself yeah it looks cool but I wasn't all that interested before. Now I'm just going to pass.

Some additional points: no big retailer like TRU is carrying it, according to Twitter. The thing weighs eight pounds. These are more factors that make the price go up.

Wow, 8 pounds!!! Now even if I thought it was worth it, I couldn´t use it. I store most of my stuff on glass display cases, don´t know if it is a good idea to put that weight over a glass shelf (plus all the other preds and stuff)
Wish you well with this thing and really hope you don´t encounter the q.c. fails that neca has been characterizing for in the last years.
Happily buying this. I don't have every skull or predator but 16 is a healthy number
