NECA NES Predator Full Gallery

Posted on August 9, 2014 at 9:50 pm by Joe Moore under Aliens and Predator Toy News, Random Photo Shoot, Video Game Toy News

What started as an odd exclusive with the San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive NES Jason Voorhees has turned into a full blow, and very popular line of repaints inspired by 8-bit (and soon to be 16-bit) video games. Now the line of classic video game inspired figures continues with NECA’s NES Predator. This repaint of their Classic Predator mold is based on the Predator, as seen in the intro of the classic (I use the term loosely here) NES Predator Video Game. The line will continue next with their Sega Master System Rocky and their 16-Bit Robocop vs Terminator figures.

We have 45 photos of the NES Predator. The figure was provided by site sponsor Entertainment Earth.

Predator Classic 8-Bit Video Game Jungle Hunter Predator

Pros

  • Great sculpt
  • Color looks great on the figure
  • Decent articulation
  • Packaging is still great

Cons

  • Some joints can be a bit loose
  • Details can hinder some articulation

Overall

I’m not really into the Predator figures, but I’ve always thought that NECA’s figures looked pretty good. However, I am a big fan of retro games, and the odd paint scheme combined with the NES style packaging was too hard to pass up. I was definitely not disappointed. The packaging harkens back perfectly to the original NES box. The figure itself is based on the opening cinematic, where the sprite fades in and out and appears blue for a brief moment. It features good, but not great articulation. Sculpting and accessories can hinder some of the movement of the figure, limiting the poses a bit. The paint, though, looks fantastic on the figure. The different shades of blue, combined with the black, really showcase the very detailed sculpt. NECA made some really nice choices in mimicking the hard edge shading of an old 8-bit sprite. If you liked the way the NES Robocop was painted, then you’ll be ecstatic with this figure.

In the end, I am really glad to add this to the NECA Video Game collection. It’s a great looking figure, even if the game was forgettable. The paint application and detailed mold make this a worthy purchase for fans of Predator or the NECA game line. Check out a few highlights below and 45 photos after that.

    Nice gallery, those things really pop on black. And the Predator looks just as sweet as the others.

    I've had mine for a good while now, and none of mine's joints are particularly loose. Love this and the NES Robocop, the Batman looks neat, but then the Rocky NES figure looks bland and uninspired.

    That looks pretty cool in blue. Could easily pass as one of the Kenner homages. And it may have been done in a comic or something but I'd LOVE to see Robocop taking on Predator.

    Both have heat vision capabilities, so that's even. The plasma caster is undoubtedly better than the Auto-9. Robocop is physically stronger than a Predator and tougher. The Predator is ludicrously more agile and faster than Robocop. The Predator also holds an array of weapons, while Murphy usually only has the Auto-9.
    The winner is: you decide, every person will have their own opinion.
    Both figures are absolutely great and I recommend those two, at least to any fan of either franchise.

    My favorite thing about this guy, is like someone said earlier, despite the cell shaded look, he falls in very nicely with the Kenner throwbacks, and also goes well with the Lost Predators and Dead End Predators.

    I really enjoy this line, and while it doesn't have the same charm of the initial entries (the Jason one is still king in my book) they are still pretty nifty. Better yet...nearly there are still several properties that NECA has not done yet that had 8bit games that we could still see. Gremlins, Aliens, Godzilla would all fit perfectly in this line up, as they were all fairly forgettable (not to mention blisteringly punishing) games.

    I wonder if NECA still has that Shredder prototype that was never released from their TMNT line lying around somewhere. If they could somehow get permissions from Playmates to release it as a part of this wave in a manner similar to the deal NECA has worked out with Mattel for their Batman figure, that would be a KILLER SDCC exclusive in waiting.

    Unfortunately on mine, the left hand doesn't stay on so well, and the hips and knees are fairly loose, to the point that standing him can be a chore. Glad to hear that others haven't had this issue though.

    I don't really collect stuff that's not 3 3/4, but...

    I was lucky enough to score a jason last year off neca's website and I've been a sucker for these guy since. I told myself I was just gonna get freddy, then just robocop, but I preordered this guy the other day.

    your galleries suckered me into the black series too, thanks a lot guys.

    you guys make everything looks so good in the photos that I'm gonna go broke. dang it.

    Not all of my figures are so lucky, unfortunately my blue warrior from Aliens has slightly bowed shins, so it's prone to collapsing when standing. NECA is still my favorite toy company right now, yeah one or two figures have some minor problem, but the rest are absolutely great.

    The figure design looks superb, but I couldn't care less about the blue paint job. Re-issue in cinematic colors, and I'll buy it in a second.

    This is a repaint of their Jungle Hunter Predator figure, which was released in regular colors.

    You're right! Thanks guys. I'm such a dolt. I loved the McFarlane classic predator, but never thought to check if anybody did better articulated version more recently. Ordering now! Wish I found this ToyArk years ago. Rgds

    Hey Skoob...Just to let you know, like others said, if you are looking for the 1987 movie version of the classic Jungle Hunter Predator, you're gonna want to get the 25th anniversary one, which was featured with the Dutch wave. I mention this, because there were several version of the Jungle Hunter that were done previously in earlier waves, but the 25th anniversary Jungle Hunter had a retooled body that features better articulation (particularly in the legs) if you plan on taking him out of the package. The Water Emergence predator (and almost every predator in the line since) use this body, which allows for better poses.

    If you need an unmasked version of the Jungle Hunter, I HIGHLY recommend the Dutch/Jungle Hunter Final Battle two pack that was a TRU exclusive a while back. It also utilizes the retooled body, and the Dutch figure that it comes with is pretty amazing as well.

    The battle damaged two pack version was better, but is now pretty hard to come by. That one was maskless Jungle Hunter featuring the open angry mandibles with bloodied back-shin and battle damaged City Hunter from Predator 2.
