Enforcer Predator (NECA)

NECA Enforcer Predator

Every human being knows they get sliced and diced, skinned and made into trophies as soon as they are being ambushed by a Predator, but the Enforcer Predator is a new deal. This Predator will kill a guy with a heart attack before it even uses its Plasma Caster, thanks to its otherworldly bio mask which made it 20% more intimidating. But with all that badassery surrounding this killer-E.T., the Enforcer is actually the "good guy" in a comic book series known as Predator: Bad Blood where it was hunting another Predator (probably a crazy one) to stop and kill it. Honestly, I got little knowledge of where some of these Predators came from but something tells me to buy these NECA Predator figures because there's always something great about them, let alone their cool looks and so... let's examine the action figure.











Starting with the packaging, you can notice some resemblance of it from our previous NECA Predator packaging especially how it's being shaped. The only differences are the artwork and the theme, in which here you can see that it's based from the comic books. In the middle, you have the Enforcer Predator looking so mighty and showcased along with its accessories. And with that hand separated and suspended in front of it, you can immediately tell that it got an interchangeable part.

With the exemption of the head/face, the sculpt and body mold of this Predator are all the same with the rest of the Predators in this toyline. However, the head/face sculpt really really made this Predator a completely different action figure. Although the funny thing is that it strongly reminded of Shredder, but NECA had done it perfectly that it made the big baddie from TMNT looked like a nanny.

What's unique and special about the Enforcer Predator is that it tries to capture that comic book-themed look through its paint job. Notice that the colours are simple and flat; not a lot of paint wash or shadings going on with this figure which is something definitely new to the eyes of someone who's been collecting them. Enforcer's wrist blades, gauntlets, disc storage and armour are evenly painted with silver gray. Its bio mask has this "flipped-Z" on it (some sort of Predator symbol) like we've seen in the comics.

As I've mentioned, it got an interchangeable part- a left hand designed to hold its Combi Stick. The Combi Stick is non-retractable or non-telescopic which means that NECA has to take note on how to improve that. Another weapon this Predator has is the disc, which the Enforcer can easily hold through its fingertips. The only drawback to this nickel-sized disc is that it keeps falling off even if you push it intimately to that "storage thingy" on its right hip. I wish it is more secure! Last but not the least- the Plasma Caster, which you've probably seen in my Jungle Hunter review.

The articulation is pretty classic to what we've got from all NECA Predators. Nothing added to its 25 points of articulation. The Enforcer got the same amount of hinges and joints as with our Jungle Hunter, Nightstorm and Boar Predator which we have already seen in this blog. If you want to know all about its joints and poseability, then just go visit those reviews.

What apparently made the Enforcer stand out from the rest of all these NECA Predators is the head feature. Having it stand with the rest of your Predator collection almost makes everyone of them look plain and standard. Though the body molds of these guys are all alike, and it's true! But if you're a huge fan, you won't see it as a problem.
