I never knew those last 2 digits on the back of NECA figures were the distribution year. I checked all my boxes and sure enough. This fact has already helped me find a particular release Terminator I wanted so thank you so very much!
U're welcome! Yep, I'm pretty suprised, that many people don't know this, as well as most top-utubers, cause they basicly don't show this info in their vids. Yeah, the newest Neca' releases have this format of the production date N MM/DD/YY, but as I remember the earliest have the reversed number, for examp YY/MM/DD. This is why, some people think that they have bootlegs, but often it's a reissued figure. By the way, bootleggers usually copy the very first edition of the toy, if we speak about printings on the box.
Great video! This figure is fairly confusing with the number of versions and bootlegs, I now feel much more confident with the one I ended up ordering.
GREAT comparison video! Your camera work is exceptional and your eye for detail in the variants is spot on. I just ordered the latest edition and am can't wait till it gets to me . Thanks for the fine upload. You ROCK.😁😁😁
Thank you for this comparison! I was troubled at first whether mine was a bootleg. Nonetheless, I have it and I enjoyed seeing it in my shelf. Thank you very informative!
@@MoscowTKD thanks for the comparison video I would’ve never known. I already thought the v1 version of the helmet was off. Do you have a picture comparison too? I tried to look online before I came here
@@youtubedeletesmychannels2329 No problem, u're welcome. Nope, I don't use instagram or something like that, so there is no picture comparision in my execution:D
Wonder why they changed the paint on the last version!? I noticed that when i bought mine from online so didn’t know until i got it. The original color of the armor is more silver than bronze. Don’t understand the change
I think they're making experiments, cause in that case there are new buyers as well as people who have the original would like to buy another toy in different colors. Marketing move, you know)
Very nice video, I recently bought a Jungle Hunter and was in doubt if it was Original or Bootleg. Your video help me a lot to notice that mine is an 4th edition. Thank you very much
Hi! I don't have the reissued version of the CH, but I keep my eye on that. I'll do the comparision vid, when I get it. There are plenty differences as I remember)
I have this figure from Best Buy few months ago and I'm so confused between those versions and the one I have because it's different from that versions so I don't know which version is mine and it has bones color schemes for the skull and the skull attached to the spine so maybe it's the lights from the camera or is it different than mine. Other than that sweet review including comparison between those 3 figures!
Thank you! I believe you have the original reissue. Just check the production date on the bottom of the box in the number, that contains "N", it should differ from these in the vid. The last two numerics is the year: 17, 18, 19, 20 and so on.
My edition is very very different from those 3, in my edition it includes the open hands, while the closed ones are as accessories. What most strikes me is that the eyes of my predator are printed in paint and are very similar to the eyes of the predator in the movie. That and many other things. The one I have looks very real, maybe it's a 4th version :O
I came across the 3rd edition at Best Buy. I’m glad I bought it. I noticed on mine the self destruct device on the arm is rotated more outward. I wanted to do a pose of him using it but I can’t. I’m afraid of twisting the arm and braking it
I’m having the same problem. I think it might be a bootleg Wich is extremely disappointing. I ordered it from Walmart’s website. Thinking it would be sent to me from a Walmart super center but now I’m not so sure.
@@zombifyerilc216 I think Walmart is the official destributor, alas the last stock was closed in Russia in mid 2010s as I remember. See my respond to your post about 376 in number.

@@MoscowTKD can't wait to watch it, me I have first version but yes I'm planning to get the best version because I love Jungle Hunter and the figure I have I'm not happy with totally 😭
@@MoscowTKD the one I have 2017 version and it's not original for sure from the look you can notice, hope I can get better one because it's important for me to have it, sorry I'm late but I subscribed to your channel now, of couse I'm a predator fan and I enjoy watching your reviews, keep it up brother and thank you for the feedback 🙂
I just bought the 4th reissued in 2021 in May 2023. Actually, I prefer the 3rd reissue with much more varnish than 4th one. However, I could hardly find the 3rd version. For the 2nd version, I could still see it available in Hong Kong but I don't like it as its net is thicker and looks more like a fake one. Actually I bought most of lost tribe members after watching your videos to determine the version I prefer to own.
Oh, that's nice, I'm glad my vids were useful) If you own a figure with a different production date, it'll be cool to know a number which contains "N". It's really useful for collectors.
Sorry, no information about that, but I think that JH always will be reissued, as it's a maskot of the franchise. I myself waiting for Warrior and Shaman preds, which are coming in july and august'22, I want these really bad.
Ну, тут лайк. Купил себе такого. Судя по следам попадания на шлеме, у меня 3 версия. И тут сходства с твоим закачиваются. Без обид, но мне кажется мой намного лучше покрашен. Но у моего голова без маски не лакированная. И кисти рук по-другому лежат.
@@MoscowTKD Haha. If you can, you should also buy 2021 release and then 2023 release to make a full comparison, which will probably be the only one in the UA-cam. I have watched each of your comparison reviews several times to help me distinguish between the various versions, and also between the authentic and the fake ones. As far as I know so far, you are the only one in the UA-cam making such comparisons across different versions and I become one of your subscribers for this reason.

Best review! Thank you!
Thanks)
I just ordered one from America. I was a little worried about bootlegs but seeing how many versions there are I should be fine
Yes, as the mascot of the franchise JH will have a plenty of reissues. So the main idea is to buy from a legal destributor.
@@MoscowTKDI just got mine and it's the 2021 version
@@goodxd701 Do you like it?

There’s one released in 2010 too
In 2010-2011 ther was only Classic pred with a damaged biomask, as I remember.

You have the 2021 edition likely
@@BukitMan Yes. I saw that version recently.
I can confirm I have the 2021 edition it is exactly as you describe it.
I need your opinion witch one do you think is better the 1 edition or the 3 edition
I think the 3d ed is the better choice, as it has better proportions due to remolding.
@@MoscowTKD Ok thanks
I came across the 3rd edition at Best Buy. I’m glad I bought it. I noticed on mine the self destruct device on the arm is rotated more outward. I wanted to do a pose of him using it but I can’t. I’m afraid of twisting the arm and braking it
Oh, that's nice! Well, there should be a rotation in a forearm. Some people warm their figures with hairdryer or in a boil water at their risk..
I just bought mine from Best Buy, and the battle damage on the helmet is colored in but looks very faded and nothing like the ones in the video.
Yep, I believe you've got a modern reissue. Check the date code number on the bottom of the box.
Comes in the exact same box but completely different figure
Watch Part 2, perhaps, you'll find your variant.
mines have the the plastic belts mans of the third one
but has purple stripe on the head with orange
Interesting. Perhaps, it's the latest release.

В моей градации в данном обзоре представлены оригиналы: первое и последующие издания.
Мне на днях пришел такой с номером 93N033021. В первую очередь чем он отличается он упакован с открытыми кистями которые в этих наборах запасные.
Ого, круто, издание марта 2021, релиз скорее всего осень 21 - зима 2022. Любопытно было бы взглянуть, есть ли еще отличия.
