The story you mention, "1718" is a one-shot short story in the early Dark Horse Presents series from Dark Horse Comics. It's included in one of the Omnibus editions. Legend has it when DHC put out the adaptation of Predator 2, the fans swamped the mail room & e-mail account with requests for a story behind the flintlock pistol trophy. DHC quickly came up with "1718", the year on the pistol, & got it out there. I still have mine (the comic).
The year on the pistol is actually 1715, so Adolini had it made 3-4 years before his death (depending on what version of his story we’re talking about).
I just picked this figure up today. FYI for those who don't know. The two helmet sculpts glow in the dark, or at least under blue light. Neca is truly awesome with these Predator figures 💯
Should I get it I have the jungle hunter and I’m thinking about getting the old one the grey back but it just looks like a re-paint of a jungle hunter even the skulls and necklace it’s just a re-paint it looks like except the back
Hey spot did you ever find the light up eye feature on the horned helmet head and it has a removable plate that has the batteries and the on off switch and the directions are on the very bottom of box packaging.....hope you found it my friend
Looking at this Fig's colors. Remove ALL the gear/clothing possible, attach BAF sauron armwing to the back and find a new head. now you have a dragon person.
Hi,great review.is this the latest version of the Elder figure ! I noticed other versions have different colours especially noticeable on the plasma caster (I do prefer the gold as it reflects his name) his sword is also different in some cases to.what are your thoughts !
Sorry to nit pick but I believe it’s pronounced Yowt-ya. And the laser emitter is always on the right side of the helmet. Not the left. Other than that nerdesque nit picking rant. Great video review. You kept it very positive. Not to much verbal diarrhea. Thank you for doing this. I wasn’t aware of this figure’s existence before now. One question though. If this supposed to be the elder from the end of P2. Then why is it green?? He wasn’t green in the movie. Or is this what happens when he gets angry? Lol.
@@TheReviewSpot my apologies. You are correct. I just looked it up. According to Steve Perry Perry, Steve (May 8, 2007). "Ask Steve Perry". Retrieved March 3, 2020. "Ya-oot-chah," with the accent on the second syllable, and that "ch" almost a "j" sound
@@TheReviewSpot Hmm. Based on audio books I've listened to on the franchise... I thought it was Yaw-oooch-uhh? It really is rather infuriating that nobody agrees on how their names pronounced. We're all probably wrong...

I would buy a box of just predator heads if neca made one
Best color analogy I've ever heard. Well done.
That would be the perfect Predator for a custom "Spawn" version. I knew when I seen the right Predator I would know. That's it. Thanks Spot
Just got it, and it is awesome! Figure is great, only one minus Plasmacaster dropped off after 3 seconds, but fiting it again was an easy task.
Thanks for sharing
Yao-Cha not Yuta. Its spelled Yautja lol. i love your content btw!
Thanks for watching
I love this figure my only issue was the pin in the plasmer caster wasn’t installed properly so it fell off.

I'm thinking of getting this figure, does it glow bright?
One helmet sculpt actually does light up. Batteries included. You need a certain screw driver to open up to access the batteries.
@@insufficientfunds076 you sure that isn't the other version of greyback?
@@autismo2159 I need to check the bottom of the box again but I think I did see a battery symbol..
@@autismo2159 it could be the re release version also..
Very nice review as always.
Just orderd this badass predator to add to my collection.
I appreciate you stopping by and checking out the video :)
Very luminous like in nature, not to dissimilar to their blood, I like it.
My son ordered this for my upcoming birthday and looking the the heads I have always had a soft spot for the unmasked version
Nice vid the review spot.
Ur channel always had the updated neca fig ur like my shartimus prime youtuber for neca predators thanks man
Waiting for my figure to be delivered.. thanks for video review details

Where from?
@@balenciimusic from skroutz a site
@@yndz_hsr8602 they don’t ship to the US right :/
@@balenciimusic yeah but i am from Greece
I have mine displayed with the predator head without the helmet looks really good to me on the shelf next to my other figs
Should I get it I have the jungle hunter and I’m thinking about getting the old one the grey back but it just looks like a re-paint of a jungle hunter even the skulls and necklace it’s just a re-paint it looks like except the back
Shouldn’t it come with 3 necklaces like the pics on the box? I see it missing on every pic I see of someone who has it
Looks like I been missing a lot of videos and this is a great action figure, will you get the aliens from the arcade game?
This Predator figure is really "Golden".
that plasma cannon just won't stay on the shoulder holder but besides that I love this alot
They're super hard to snap in

Whait... Kerrigan? How could we have known?
A great figure and a great video. Thanks Spot!
Keeping to the food analogy I would also compare his complexion to a avocado.
Very nice figure, cool accessories, and excellent review! :)
You didn't notice the holder on the sheath for the extending blade?
Nice Spot 👏🏻✌🏻from Denver Colorado
Awesome!!!

Hey bro i'm looking for a neca predator for my first predator collection should i buy the golden angle predator or the jungle Hunter predator?
Jungle hunter is far superior over the comic golden angel
Why this predator looks green and some others look like yellow? Are they the same
Hi I didnt get the fully closed hand in my Golden Elder ? Is that normal sometimes for different factory batches ?
It doesn’t look like mustard and relish on a shirt at all! It looks like an avocado.
Your unmasked head is missing the second ball pearcing that is on the first ring, check the box.
This is cool good vid . Keep it up.
It's all part of my master plan
This is not a angel are u sure this angel isn't possessed by a freaking predator demon
9:54 I was thinking avocado
Would've been nice if you popped the unmasked head on
Mean and very green
I had this predetor
Pennywise figure well house 🎈
Does anyone know why my blades don’t come out?
I have this toy
You didn't even put the unmasked head on😠
its ok
You said uta not Yautja
no I said YUTA
Fair enough
Lmao
The colour of the skin is the inside of an avacado
Collor looks avocado
It's not Utah, it's Yautja.
Actually its pronounced Yu-At-Cha
@@TheReviewSpot Hmm. Based on audio books I've listened to on the franchise...

Yautja
Correct pronunciation: Y-Out-Ja
Review Spot: Y-oo-ta
Actually the correct pronounciation is Ya-Oot-Ja not Out-Ja
@@TheReviewSpot I just got corrected by my favorite collector/toy reviewer. Life is complete
I was trying to reply to the Review Spot

Thats the one i have
Hi
