Cannot wait for this guy. Didn't even put it together yesterday when I saw the photos initially, but here we have a Yautja free of any technology. Love the design.

Very cool design, but I'm going to wait to see how it looks at retail before I make up my mind.
By the way, this was supposed to be their 100th figure? What happened, and is it under or over 100? |

Looks nice, too bad that I swore never to collect anything from NECA anymore.

I believe we're right around 100 now, depending on what they are counting. It was delayed because they kept refining sculpt, and other stuff had to jump in front of it in production.

I’m really digging the design so far.
The net-less body and rough-textured skin has me even more convinced that NECA will be reusing the main body for updated ultimate Super Predators. The Predators movie is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year so I wouldn’t be surprised if we got an announcement for those designs at toy fair. On that note, Predator 2 is also celebrating its 30th anniversary this year so I’m really hoping NECA takes advantage of the occasion and not only re-release a special one-off anniversary wave like they did with the original movie with updated versions of the Lost Tribe, but also finally find a way to release a Detective Harrigan from Predator 2 which is one of the most sorely needed and underrated characters of the entire franchise in my opinion and likely many others.

This looks pretty cool. I may jump on this. I really only get the film predator and aliens figures.

But then again, he's shot down figures before and then they've been made, so it seems that Randy likes pulling the wool over our eyes sometimes. Who knows? Harrigan in a 2-pack with either a battle-damaged City Hunter or maybe the Elder? I'd buy that shit day one. |

I just grabbed LaserShot and Ahab during the Target NECA sale. This guy will go great with them! I just they'd release an Ultimate Big Red, so I could get one without having to sell any organs.

I love this original design, and I hope they continue to develop more. Very cool! Looks incredible, with loads of detail. I just pre-ordered one.

There was no predator head under that weird bug helmet in the original design, just a bug head! This needs a screen accurate alt head!

This isn't supposed to be a toy of that costume, just a reference to it.

I only saw the pictures today. I don't buy NECA products, but thumbs up for this awesome design. A perfect amalgamation of the original, scrapped version and the redesign which became the Predator we all know.
If they made a movie about this guy hunting all kinds of alien monsters for 120 minutes without a single piece of dialog spoken I’d be down for it. |

That is probably the only way they could make a good new Predator movie. Everybody that touches that franchise finds a way to destroy it further.

Personally I would try to adapt some of the Dark Horse comics as closely as possible. Maybe animated instead of live-action for a change of pace too. |
