If I remember right the Aliens were considered to be among the best though.

It's not something I'd buy but I can see the appeal.

*At the 1/12 scale. Because saying there is no high end Predator merch isn't true considering all the stuff Hot Toys and Sideshow Collectibles has produced.

I also hate how NECA focuses on like 2-3 specific characters and then never does anything else. For example, they get the license to Legacy of Kain. They make Kain and Raziel. That is it. Nevermind all of the other amount of characters out there. Same goes with God of War, they stuck with Kratos and only Kratos instead of also doing the gods themselves, any of the mythological beasts, etc. With Resident Evil, they did Jill, Chris, and Leon while forgetting about Claire, Rebecca, Sherry, Wesker, Barry, Billy, Carlos, Nemesis, and many others. Instead, the just rerelease zombies and Lickers.

I don't even know how many Ezio's they have done for AC. Not to mention they got the license to do Castlevania and then stopped after releasing one wave of 5 figures.

Anyway, I think Bandai should have done the classic Xenomorph and Predator to kick off the line.

God, I recall how awesome it was that Castlevania was getting a toyline and then I never saw it in stores around me until long after I discovered there wasn't going to be anything after 'Series One'. It made me not want any of the figures...aside from the bad QC I recall reading about them as it was. *sigh*

Resident Evil would have been cool if most of them weren't statues from the waist down. I really feel a GOOD company could work with the series if they tried. Sadly, Toy Biz did a better job with the license in the short time they did it.

And don't get me started on NECA's Street Fighter line... People may complain about SOTA's version, but at least they got thru a TON of characters and still stand as the one Street Fighter line that almost completed the entire Super STreet Fighter II roster. (Missing DeeJay)
