  • @MonstersOfTheUniverse

    It appears to me that the 6th scale Mezco was modeled more after he classic predator from Predators move.
    P1s head is not as flat as predator 2 and other predators newly developed after P2, including the flattened mask and steeped head, which is probably why this bio mask almost resembles the city hunters mask in terms of proportion

    The Prime1Studios are the nicest Predator resin statues, those 3 new Jungle Hunter, City Hunter & Berserker statues are amazing. Although I utterly despise the design of the Berserker it’s still a really cool statue if displayed with the mask on.
    I got so mad when I watched that movie and he took off his mask to reveal the big spider head. I just knew Hollywood couldn’t help themselves, they had to mess with the design, they’re incapable of leaving perfect things alone, his design is perfect, it can only be made worse, and that’s exactly what they did. And they actually even made it worse in the last movie “Prey”, that’s not even a Predator, looks like a completely different species, looks horrendous.

    For as cheap as it is the Neca one is considerably more accurate, I'd go for that one if I had to choose. But not because of accuracy, but because Mezco has a particular style that doesn't work for me
    And yeah the skin bit is controversial I guess, I mean I have the OG Jungle Hunter and his skin color is accurate, the version you got is V2 or V3 and while the articulation and sculpt is slightly better the paint is way off, if you were to compare it to the OG then Neca wins very easily. But besides all of that, the price difference is a big deal, that tiny Mezco predator is not worth that price not even remotely... save your money and get 3 Neca ones
    Edit: bruh... I didn't notice before the Mezco box used that picture of the old ugly HT biomask 😂 that's just embarrassing

  • @havocdogg
    @havocdogg Před rokem +4

    I prefer the Mezco myself. The coloring on the Neca is not for me at all. Too dark so the detail can get lost and that yellow is UGLY. I think most the differences could be explained simply as the figures representing different parts of the movie. You mentioned the Neca bicep swivel and said Mezco didn't have that, does Neca have elbow swivel that the Mezco has? Does the arm computer flip up on the Neca armor? Are the skull necklace/sashes removeable on the Neca? Does Neca have a any lightup functions? In the end what it breaks down to most of all for me is the Mezco looks almost alive and the Neca looks like a toy. Neither are perfect so it's down to personal perception for everyone

    Comparing 2 jungle hunters figurines and not Mezco Vs Neca. The mezcos figurine looks good as well as the Neca, if you are a person who is really detail oriented, I’ll go with Neca on the jungle Hunter. The Neca figurine looks very but very close to the jungle hunter in the movie. The Mezco biomask looks more like the City Hunter or AVP version.
    Both are great looking figurines, perhaps Neca has been longer in the business and came up with more version and experiences.

    Neca figures for me have the price advantage. I’d love a $130 Predator but that’s MAD steep. For me I’d just save up another $150-145 and get a hot toys. My local shop has the mezco for like $125. Maybe I’ll pull the trigger on it after I watch this and see what I think. I’ll let you know after I watch.

I noticed like you that the mask on the Mezco one is way too much like Predator 2, especially after they took so long to release it and it didn't look like that in the pre production shots, is that false advertising? Should they send people an updated mask that actually looks like the movie it's from, though I love your work around you did... Neca one looks so much better with the mask and even the maskless head look a bit closer to the shape of the head in the film. Other pro's with Mezco is the cloth and mesh clothing

    I would say although Mezcos Predator has great paint work and sculpted detail, probably topping Neca in that regards, when putting into account the price point I just believe Necas is an overall better value. For $60 cheaper you get a well articulated, accurate looking, and accessory packed figure that just can’t be beat for the value alone. Mezcos is great but if I’m going to be paying $100 for a figure of a character that already has cheaper alternatives, it better blow me away.

People say "more quality" on the Mezco figure. How ? I have a tons of NECA figures, never had a problem. Absolute high quality.
      And you are talking about details? Yeah, the details on the NECA is awesome and the details on the Mezco are horribly inaccurate. Probably worth $3 but I wouldn't put on the same shelf where my NECA Predators are.

    My NECA ultimate doesn't look as yellow as yours for some reason. In fact I wouldn't describe my figure's skin as yellow at all Got it from BBTS. Are you sure yours isn't one of the chinese knockoffs? Overall I agree that NECA wins but by an even higher margin IMO on account of my particular sample at least not being so yellow while correctly having all that darker colouration that MEZCO somehow missed. And yeah the Mezco's biomask looks more like that of the Scar Predator from AvP than the mask of the Jungle Hunter. The use of a picture of the old Hot Toys figure as box art is the cherry on top of a pretty weak figure IMO.

      I'd have to disagree. Mezco are like high end 1/6 scale figures, just smaller.

    The mask is a deal breaker for me. I look for accuracy in my collectibles now, more than anything and the Mezco one is so off I have to wonder what they used as a reference. Have to agree that it looks more like City Hunter's mask.
