Review – Big Red Predator – Predators, NECA

NECA Big Red Predator 7" Action Figure

NECA’s Predators toy line is extensive, to say the least. They’ve practically made at least one version of every Predator on film, which meant that they had to look elsewhere. Back in 2003, Sandy Collora made a short film titled “Batman: Dead End” as a sort of director’s reel to show off his abilities. The story involved Batman chasing after the Joker, and then being interrupted by a Xenomorph from the Aliens franchise. And then, of course, the Predators show up as well and before you know it it’s just like those old Dark Horse comic books.

One of the predators on screen was the subject of today’s review, the aptly named “Big Red”. He was named so, due to all of his red armor, partly made in a samurai theme, complete with katanas. He was visually interesting and his unique armor set him apart from the others. The crazy thing is, Big Red only ever appeared in that short film. He never appeared in any actual official Predator movie, which makes the fact that NECA made him all the more awesome. I never even thought they legally could make him, but I suppose either they were allowed, or nobody wanted to tell NECA “no”. Either way, smart move.

I love the Predator films, especially the original. However, This is my first NECA Predator figure ever, and I’ll be honest and say that I was initially only wanting it, because I’m predictable and such a Batman geek that anything connected to him at all I MUST OWN. So join me as I take a closer look at Big Red and see if he’s worthy of a spot in your collection.
