NECA Predator Series 13 Renegade Predator – Toyark Photo Shoot

Posted on March 29, 2015 at 3:21 pm by Joe Moore under Aliens and Predator Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

NECA is on an astonishing 13th wave of the Predator series of figure. There’s no sign of slowing down as they keep giving fans exciting new takes on the galactic hunters. The series 13 figures are all based on designs from the classic Kenner Predator toyline. These include the Scavage Predator, the Cracked Tusk Predator and the subject of today’s gallery; the Renegade Predator. The figure includes weapons based on the original Kenner figure as well.

NECA was gracious enough to provide Predator Series 13 for review, and we’ll be sharing our thoughts and photos over the next few days. We have over 45 photos for you to check out of this fantastic figure. Read on to see those and our review.

Predator Series 13 – Renegade Predator 7″ Scale Figure

Pros

  • Fantastic sculpting
  • Lots of articulation
  • Paint scheme is a great homage to original
  • Cool weapon designs
  • Blades extend and retract

Cons

  • None

Overall
My first experience with NECA’s Predator line was the NES Predator Classic Video Game Figure. That was a fantastic looking figure in its own right. So I come into Series 13, fairly fresh into the Predator line. The figure comes packaged on a blister card. The cardback itself is a throwback to the old Kenner packaging design. There’s a single twist tie to dispose of, and the weapons come on their own tray.  After opening the figures, I think the Renegade Predator is probably my favorite of the three.

The figure itself stands at roughly 9″ tall, fitting in with NECA’s other 7″ scale figure. The sculpt, articulation and weapons are all great. I expected to have some hindrance with the articulation due to the armor, but was surprised at how much range I could get out of the arms and legs. The legs, especially, have a surprising amount of movement. The figure is surprisingly sturdy, which is nice, especially since the figure is very top heavy. The hip movement and shin swivels help to balance the poses. I really like that he can hold the blade weapon with both hands and can even do a few poses while doing so. The shoulder cannon armor piece is removable and the gun itself his a fair bit of movement. The head has a double jointed neck joint, allowing you to pose the figure staring down at a fallen opponent.

In the end, I started with my favorite of what are three very good figures. The green paint, the super detailed sculpt and the full range of articulation make this a fantastic figure. If you’re into the Predator line, then you likely have this ordered or in your possession already. If not, then the Kenner homages make for a great stating point. See a few highlight photos below, and the full gallery of 47 images after that.

    Think I'll be picking this fellow up. I've still got the Kenner figure (minus his staff and gun unfortunately).

    Nice. I want to go back and find the Shredator from series 12 now.

    Cracked Tusk wins the wave for me, but Renegade is freaking amazing too. I still kind of wish the nets on them were either painted or just removed from the sculpt but that is a very minor (and only) gripe. I will say it was difficult getting Renegade to hold the upper part of his staff in his right hand, I had to pop it off and place it then pop it back on.
    I don't even have Scavage but I'll go ahead and recommend him too, he's a repaint of Nightstorm and that guy is one of my all-time favorite predator toys.

    Cracked Tusk gallery goes up tomorrow and Renegade should be up Tuesday. So far these are some solid figures. Love doing the battle poses with the Dog Alien, as that thing can bend in all sort of crazy poses.

    But he's up today. (this was the closest thing to a ghost/spooky face)

    Just finished up post processing the Cracked Tusk pics. Another fun one. Renegade is still sitting at my favorite so far. Gallery to go live tomorrow.

    Looking forward to that one. As I said Cracked Tusk is my favorite of the series, but Renegade is a very close second. Like the difference between 100% and 99%. Renegade is definitely the more Kenner of the two though, Cracked Tusk almost blends in with movie predators.

    Crap. Both of these look really, really good. I had the old-school Renegade Predator back in the day (mostly because he looked the closest to the one in the first movie) and this is a great homage.

    I was originally content to just have the Predator 1 & 2 and the Battle Armor Borg (still the best ever) Predator figures in my collection, but I might have to make an exception for these mofos. Wow.

    Man, NECA is getting insane mileage out of essentially releasing figures with the same base body over and over...and what's more surprising is that we don't care because they're all awesome nonetheless! The Predator line must be NECA's licence to print money, lol.

    I didn't try to make him hold the smart disk like that, I was just like "oh he doesn't have the hand specifically made for holding this so I guess he really can't." I am still a tad "huh" about the fact that he also has one molded into his belt thing, so in a way he has two smart disks but you can only use one.

    Lovely gallery as always Joe.

    I admit that Scavage has more impressive skin paint than Nightstorm, Nightstorm was pretty much just a grey-blue and a dark-blue/black scheme. Scavage has these vibrant greens, blues, and reds. When it comes down to it though, Nightstorm is my winner between the two. The dark skin tones and the faded gold armor just pop for me.

    i love the Scavage figure, unforunately the damn just CAN NOT stand on his own for more then an hour max..... this upcoming weekend i'm going to figure out what else i can do to have him stand. the actual Neca stands don't even work for this guy.

    The stands work, I think your specific Scavage is unfortunately a fluke.

    he seems fine on my desk with some back support of a printer stand. however he just doesn't want to stand on his own.... there should be something in my closet from my parents house that i might have had as a kid that i could possibly use to support him.
