I own the original Kenner Lasershot Predator. The biggest issue that I have with this Neca figure is you're right about the fact that one leg is significantly longer than the other! Every one of these figures that I have seen in the store has the same problem. Oh well, I decided to purchase one for nostalgia and have it next to the original. I noticed most of these don't have neatly painted tusks. I searched for years until I found one with neatly painted tusks. I like this bad boy. I would rate it probably an 8/10.
This was actually the first predator I bought. Caught my eye right away. Now I’m collecting predators thanks to this one ☝️ 7/10 is fair articulation is lacking.
That's how it started with me, too -- but with the undeniably more generic-looking Predator 2 City Hunter figurine, I believe. Now I'm fully addicted -.- Predator's my usual go-to, but I've got quite a few Xenomorphs, as well as plenty of horror movie classics, as well. Anything Neca, basically xD
Just picked this up at retail surprisingly. He looked too dope to pass up and I always look up reviews of figures i recently picked up just to psych myself up before I decide to open and display. That being said, I never had the original Kenner. I never even knew it was based off of that until looking at reviews of this. I love the look of this predator alot and it appealed to me the second I spotted it on the shelf. Great review as always.
I didn't have these growing up, but I would consider myself a fan of the movies. To me, the Predator figures are consistently the best bang for your buck out there....as long as you don't break one.
The mask on mine stays on but the light will as well so i kept the plastic in so the battery won’t drain. Really like this heavy armor predator, the design really stands out when you compare it to other predators, even the weapons! I like how he doesnt have a staff, guns or swords, like most do but just a freakin’ grappling hook to stop his enemies and his either gonna finish them with his claws or just shoot em with laser, so brutal.
I never had these as a kid but I do remember them. I’ve been buying them because it’s a badass looking predator and I really love what NECA has been doing with them lately. I mean, I have similar gripes as everyone else but they have definitely stepped up their game a bit.
I did not have most of the Kenner and Predator figures as a kid, just the Alien vs. Predator two pack, would have loved to have had them. I buy these now as something I remember and love the designs... Also, the grapnel rope thingy only fits in one way, check out the connecting shape while inserting! I had to heat up and reshape the face mask a bit to get it to stay on.
I know this video is old but i want to answer the question anyways. I never had this as a kid, but the colors really pop and are so different while still being cool that i just had to get it. The accessories are also really ingenious.
The Big claw hand actually has ball joints in the knuckles that move and stuff so you can clamp his claw fingers in various ways to hold the mask, I find that there's a sweet spot where the mask fits pretty okay, i have a similar issue with the alpha predators mask as well. Good review my dude.
I didnt have them as a kid because I was born in 92 but I love retro stuff. I own almost all the kenner tribute stuff Alien and Predator. They're awesome designs in my opinion.
I have this dude, solid 5.5/10 because I had to glue the claw that plugs in to the whip (it was my fault, it looked articulated) and both the connection points on the whip (the peg snapped when I tried to insert the spear tip)
I didn't own any Kenner predators when I was younger, but I do still but these neca ones! I just think they look really cool and unipue, my fav Kenner preds from neca are spiked tail, lava planet, hive wars and this guy!
Awesome review as always. Hate it when a company does well with things that are more difficult but fails at basic things. Personally, I think it looks super cool and if I see one, I am buying it. Sucks with those damn legs, though.
I loved the kenner line as a kid. and yes I but these because of It. I still have most of my original ones , 7/10 is fair it is very limited in articulation.
I didn’t have Kenner predators as a kid but I love these, I only have ghost predator at the moment from the Kenner style but I’m planning on getting that guy
Wasn't even alive when the original came out, not a Predator fan either, but I love the look of this guy and would buy it if I could get ahold of it where I live.
Also about the legs, that seems to be wide spread with this guy at least for the most part, mine has the same issue and all the others I've seen in store have it too
i only started collecting figures recently as an adult so have no Kenner anythings. I do love my Predators - I have a dozen already plus some of the tiny HiYas - and yay purple but that one is just.. I dunno. Some good points, some bad (and I wish the backpack was removable..). Will probably get this but it'll have to go separately from my other Predators as even the blue AvP one isn't as dramatic as this one! Good review as ever, thanks.
I never had any of these as a kid, but I'm a big fan of the Predators figures. My legs came like that with my clan leader predator that I ordered online awhile back. I thought it was a bootleg until I picked up a predator figure just recently at the store and had the same issue. How do these even make it out of production smh.
Pretty cool looking figure, but i think everyone id really getting tired of NECA not updating these figures. i mean if they change the hips and ankles its all good for the most part.
I had some of the Kenner aliens and predators (not this one) as a kid. Because of that I have nostalgia for those weird variants. If not, I probably wouldn't be buying any of these.
I would probably buy more predators if neca could clear up those nagging QC issues. I've always been a sucker for badass aliens with crazy gimmicks, but it takes a lot of fun out of collecting when every other figure I buy is either broken or badly malformed.
Every predator figure I have purchased has a long leg that prohibits standing straight up, the worse was the machiko figure; her right foot reaches the ankle of the left foot
I like the look of him but the issues are pretty bad, that face plate is a problem with others I have seen reviewed as well, yet I still really really want him lol
I never own any of the toys as kid and I bought it because it looks so cool and who wouldn’t want a golden predator with a gun, grappling hook, laser eye, mechanical claw arm, I thought it was pretty cool but I won’t lie when I say his articulation was very disappointing
Ive been on the fence about this one for awhile. He looks wicked af- but yeah- im gonna pass. I cant look pass those QC issues. Very disappointing. Great review
Im getting him because he is such a unique figure. He's super crazy looking and that harpoon is super cool. The shield is dumb but DAMN is he a hell of a centerpiece.
I had trouble with the claw too what I did was take the fisted hand and use the peg from the wrist and stick that in the claw peg hole move it around a bit than take it out and try putting the claw hand on again
I think the mask never worked for anyone, I've never seen anybody, including myself, manage to get the mask on. The grapple hook is crazy long and is overall great. I think the sculpt looks cooler than the kinda lame mask anyway so I'm not that bummed over it.
Seems to me that when it gets to mistakes Neca can be compared to Hasbro, Neca figures get more love from the designers but they also get a good amount of mistakes. This Predator isn't for me but I can see ppl liking it and ignoring the those mistakes I was talking about. Good for them. Thanks for the review Anthony.
@@Spongemonkey26 well, I don't like making a big deal about something just for views. It only affects channels where the audience is predominantly children under 13 or where the content is directed toward them. My channel meets neither of those criteria.
@@Xenomrph ok thank you very much. Just had the option of getting 2 Lasershots. I passed. Normally I buy 2. One to display in the box & give my sons later down the line. The second to open & display in glass case & change stance time to time. The LED light got me thinking about the batteries getting bad sitting on a shelf for 13 years. It was hard 2 not buy but u just made me feel better about it. Thanks again 🤘
I just bought this predator because he looks badass imo
I’m also gonna buy it cause it looks pretty bad a** and I’m gonna turn into a collector
No need for imo. He objectively looks badass ;)

This predator reminds me of Thanos from marvel.
Chris Shogunkie you take that back
This was actually the first predator I bought. Caught my eye right away. Now I’m collecting predators thanks to this one ☝️
7/10 is fair articulation is lacking.
Did you have trouble getting the claw hand on

I never had this as a kid, but I bought it.
Lasershot looks way too cartoony IMO But I can see that some might like all of that bling
I buy them because i am a kid( today i got 13 years) and i like actionfigures from neca and marvel legends 🙃
Same
I am also 13 yrs old and I've had this thing for 2 years but I'm watching this to see how to to put the bio mask on!!!
Just picked this up at retail surprisingly. He looked too dope to pass up and I always look up reviews of figures i recently picked up just to psych myself up before I decide to open and display.

Reminds me of the cyborg mad scientist guy from Skeleton Warriors.
I still have that figure, I always thought he was the coolest looking dude in that series

Just got one at Target it's SO bad ass
this is my favorite predator figure besides the small flaws.the design is crazy and out there
I didn’t have this as a kid but i still want it cuz it looks sick as hell 😂
I have this dude, solid 5.5/10 because I had to glue the claw that plugs in to the whip (it was my fault, it looked articulated) and both the connection points on the whip (the peg snapped when I tried to insert the spear tip)
Mine is on the way
This Predator having a robotic armour and implants can be on the hunt for Terminators. Hence the skull on the front waist.
I just picked one of these up today and I was really hesitant but I got it because I have the old one and he looks badass
I bought mine because I'm a big fan of the Predator movies.
Did you get the claw hand on
I couldn’t
@@herbswerve9994 Mine is still mint in box.
Oh ok
I didn't own any Kenner predators when I was younger, but I do still but these neca ones! I just think they look really cool and unipue, my fav Kenner preds from neca are spiked tail, lava planet, hive wars and this guy!
Might as well buy this one as soon as I got my pre-ordered Ultimate Lost Armor Predator..
Never had a kenner predator fig but would definitely buy this
im not a fan of lightup features but this ones badass
Awesome review as always. Hate it when a company does well with things that are more difficult but fails at basic things. Personally, I think it looks super cool and if I see one, I am buying it. Sucks with those damn legs, though.
Passed on this one. Very ghetto looking with all that bling.
I loved the kenner line as a kid. and yes I but these because of It. I still have most of my original ones , 7/10 is fair it is very limited in articulation.
Never had this line as a kid but I sure wanted them. I had a kenner alien so maybe that's why I have an affinity for this series.
Does the Backpack pop off?
I didn’t have Kenner predators as a kid but I love these, I only have ghost predator at the moment from the Kenner style but I’m planning on getting that guy
Ghost it's a good one for sure.
Wasn't even alive when the original came out, not a Predator fan either, but I love the look of this guy and would buy it if I could get ahold of it where I live.
I never had the 90s kenner predators. I really like neca predators they are killing it to me.
Lol that pose on the stand. If you even call that a pose. Funny to me. XD
Also about the legs, that seems to be wide spread with this guy at least for the most part, mine has the same issue and all the others I've seen in store have it too
Never had these but I like the look so I'm buying these
Think the one long leg is a standard defect, as mine is the same.
i only started collecting figures recently as an adult so have no Kenner anythings. I do love my Predators - I have a dozen already plus some of the tiny HiYas - and yay purple but that one is just.. I dunno. Some good points, some bad (and I wish the backpack was removable..). Will probably get this but it'll have to go separately from my other Predators as even the blue AvP one isn't as dramatic as this one! Good review as ever, thanks.
So, why aren't the NECA characters like this featured in any Predator movies?
I’m 13 but I love predator and this one is awesome I bought it last week
I never had any of these as a kid, but I'm a big fan of the Predators figures. My legs came like that with my clan leader predator that I ordered online awhile back. I thought it was a bootleg until I picked up a predator figure just recently at the store and had the same issue. How do these even make it out of production smh.
Ive never even seen the original, but I’m still gona get it
Another great review. I just love the coloration on this guy. Id give it an 8.
The laser shot predator’s big claw hand has articulated fingers
Yes
I just got one at Walmart. Very cool figure. I didn't have any Predator figures, but I bought 3 in the last month.
I think it's something diffrent and fun
I have a few of them.
Pretty cool looking figure, but i think everyone id really getting tired of NECA not updating these figures. i mean if they change the hips and ankles its all good for the most part.
That thing is as kitsch as heck!
Lol
I had some of the Kenner aliens and predators (not this one) as a kid. Because of that I have nostalgia for those weird variants. If not, I probably wouldn't be buying any of these.
There are grooves in the mask that line up with his bottom jaw to keep the mask on
I would probably buy more predators if neca could clear up those nagging QC issues. I've always been a sucker for badass aliens with crazy gimmicks, but it takes a lot of fun out of collecting when every other figure I buy is either broken or badly malformed.

I like the design of it. Do a video on fallout 4 figures review.
yo anthony what are you gonna do about this whole yt bs.
I thnk they should panties the screw lol it kinda looks like part of the cybernetic look
Anyone had issues with the paint on the grappeling hook? Mine the paint doesn't seem to dry out!
I'm not gonna lie, I simply bought it because of how badass it looks.
I like the look of him but the issues are pretty bad, that face plate is a problem with others I have seen reviewed as well, yet I still really really want him lol
Never seen one like this before.
how about you review the alpha predator, i heard it is a bit different than others at least the material they use
I will
@@AnthonysCustoms Thanks will be waiting for it
I still have the old one somewhere.
I thought this was a Thanos Predator hybrid figure
I never own any of the toys as kid and I bought it because it looks so cool and who wouldn’t want a golden predator with a gun, grappling hook, laser eye, mechanical claw arm, I thought it was pretty cool but I won’t lie when I say his articulation was very disappointing
Hiya is my favorite toy maker, but that's because I'm 3.75 scale or nothing.
Ive been on the fence about this one for awhile. He looks wicked af- but yeah- im gonna pass. I cant look pass those QC issues. Very disappointing. Great review
Got this figure today and one leg is longer than the other
His colors and armor...where have i seen that before...
Im getting him because he is such a unique figure. He's super crazy looking and that harpoon is super cool. The shield is dumb but DAMN is he a hell of a centerpiece.
Anthony have you seen that animated red hood figure also Azrael and deathstroke
Yes
Glad to know I wasn't the only one having problems with the mask.
How do you get the left claw on
I can’t get it to fit
I had trouble with the claw too what I did was take the fisted hand and use the peg from the wrist and stick that in the claw peg hole move it around a bit than take it out and try putting the claw hand on again
I think the mask never worked for anyone, I've never seen anybody, including myself, manage to get the mask on. The grapple hook is crazy long and is overall great. I think the sculpt looks cooler than the kinda lame mask anyway so I'm not that bummed over it.
Mines backpack just fell off. its only glued on there for anyone wondering if you can remove it.
Really Great Review Thank You. It is on my list to get even though pricey. Thanks Again.
Glad it was helpful!
i genuinely cut myself several times on this figure trying to put on his alternate big hand like so many spikes...ow
T800😁😆😂🤣😥
I love the design of this predator but the color choice is over the top for me. I don't like the golden armor and the purple skin is cartoonish.
The large hand is nearly impossible to put in
Ya
Did you find out how though
I couldn’t
Seems to me that when it gets to mistakes Neca can be compared to Hasbro, Neca figures get more love from the designers but they also get a good amount of mistakes. This Predator isn't for me but I can see ppl liking it and ignoring the those mistakes I was talking about. Good for them. Thanks for the review Anthony.
Thanos ???
Thanos Predator?
I have no choice just to buy this on ebay
The big hand never fit on the peg.
Mine is super loose
Hey does the batteries come installed or do u have to unscrew & install? I know their included
How will coppa affect your channel?
it shouldnt since my audience is basically all adults but if they want to get someone like me, they can probably.
