Awesome review Prefer NECA's and wish they kept going after Revelations. Really want a Connor, Edward Kenway and Arno

mksilver I was so excited for what they could do with a Connor figure. Maybe one day the rights will revert back.

This is why I was so disappointed when Mcfarlane took over. I'm so sorry, but it looks like a mockery of NECA's version, not to mention a 5+ year difference between the two toys. It's like Mcfarlane shrunk down the NECA version, left it out in the sun on a hot day, and ran it over. They could at least TRIED to have made the toys to NECA's standards, knowing they had to continue the AC line. I personally have a NECA Altair and I LOVE IT. The detail is amazing and posing him isn't too bad. A few holsters started to break but nothing superglue couldn't patch up. Perfect figure. NECA needs to come back.

And 10 years later NECA has the assassins creed license again and hopefully they'll release an updated altair figure, they recently released updated ezio figures and I'm definitely gonna get them

Congrats, amazing review! On the bootleg issue, I stupidly passed on NECA's figure when it was in stores. Now I can only find it on eBay from Chinese sellers. I've read that some factories in Hong Kong kept some molds NECA used and still produce figures without NECA's complete approval. Some of those figs do look a bit off on the paint application, specially on the face, but if you compare with older figs, I think yours is legit. Can't make out my mind now that McFarlane's is out, though. Cheers!

Right. On the bootleg issue, I've also read that some Chinese factories have kept making the figures, using Neca's old molds and tools. Now that Neca lost the rights, there's not a lot they can do about it. Yours looks legit, though...

@mojotheaverage9 жыл бұрын
It's funny to me how the two companies have changed. When you compare NECA's older figures to their new ones (especially the Alien Queen) you can see how much better they have gotten, especially with their paint apps. In comparison, I could swear that Mcfarlane keeps getting worse and worse. I mean, when I was a kid if you could get a Mcfarlane version of a figure, you wanted that above all others: the movie line (especially the Alien and Predator figures) and the Spawn figures used to be incredible. Now adays I'm always dissapointed when Mcfarlane gets the license for a figure series. I mean, I saw the Arno Dorian figure the other day and it was so appalling it made me cancel my preorder for the Shay Cormac one. I mean, his hidden blade was so fat and rounded it looked like a truncheon or something and his facial hair was so badly painted it went all over his face, like he had tried to put on make up without a mirror. I think they started going down hill with the Halo Reach figure line. That line was so poor, the paint so sloppy and the sculpts so inconsistent that I completely stopped following what Mcfarlane was doing. It's a shame because I look at my old Mcfarlane toys (which weren't even more expensive at the time) and they are just so much better than the modern ones. I guess with the increase in competition from Japanese lines like play arts and figma they went down the more budget route but I really wish they hadn't.

If Neca isn't the #1 toy company yet, they soon will be, they are doing a great job . I love McFarlane, I still think they do a great job but Neca seems to be getting better and better.
@OutsideTheBoxReviews9 жыл бұрын
Tim M At least in the low to medium price range, NECA is king. Just look at DC letting NECA release a 7" Batman '89 figure when Mattel and DC Collectibles usually have exclusive rights. I know if they had the rights to EVERYTHING, quality would probably suffer, but I still want to see it.
@impossiblepie9 жыл бұрын
yeah, I'm not sure yet about the Neca 89 Batman figure, if I get one it's going to be the Hot Toys version. but most of the stuff NECA is putting out I like.

Im sorry for those who got the NECA Altair and it looks great on your hands,but i have a Bad Experience with it,so i think MCFarlane Altair is better. By the way,NECA should get The Walking Dead License to make their figures,MCfarlane took their AC license,it will be fair.
