Wasp Predator
After getting me some of NECA’s Predator figures and fulfilling my requirement for movie-based designs, I just knew that I would still go back and get some more of these figures even if they were actually non-canonical versions of these alien hunters.
Beetle

News Covered in this Episode
Boba Fett (Black Series)
The 6-inch version of Boba Fett released in the second wave of figures from Hasbro’s Star Wars Black Series was surprisingly hard to find for me.

When I began buying NECA action figures from the Predator and Alien series of movies, one figure I kept my eye out for was precisely any of the different Alien creatures.
Name That…Puffy Hat
This is one that might be harder than I thought. The shadow looks a bit different than I expected.
Captain America (World War 2 Uniform)
I remember that when I saw the first wave of figures in the Marvel Legends Infinite Series for the Captain America: The Winter Soldier movie, I thought that Hasbro had made a mistake including the version of Captain America in his WWII uniform.

Scout Predator
Ever since I wetted my beak into NECA’s Predator figures, I wanted to get the original Predator from the first film, or at least a passable approximation, and this Scout Predator from Series 6 fits the bill perfectly.
Hulk & Thor (Playskool Heroes)
As I have repeated several times, some character designs work well within the Playskool format, while others don’t really lend themselves to the conversion, and in this set we get to see an example of each.

Sideshow delays due to Port of LA Industrial Action
Stormtrooper (Black Series)
It would be hard to argue that the most sought after figure in Hasbro’s third wave of figures from the 6-inch Star Wars Black Series is the Stormtrooper
2014 Year in Review
Collecting-wise, 2014 was a very diverse year for me, although unfocused might be the better way of describing it.
A.I.M. Scientist
Of course, you can tell this AIM Scientist does not appear in the film just by looking at the decidedly comic book-inspired design.
