Looks cool. Will pick up for sure but am disappointed we won't get Harrigan. Its pretty much confirmed that we are getting 10 ultimate plus this exclusive. Nine of the ultimates are the lost tribe and the 10th based on Randy's replies on twitter looks like it will be an ultimate battle damaged city hunter.

Yeah this year would have been the logical time to do a Harrigan figure for the 30th anniversary, and with the indication that he's not coming, I guess we'll never get that character.
I wish NECA would reissue the trophy wall and skull pack since we're getting the Lost Tribe figures this year. The wall and skull pack have gone up a lot in price on ebay and aren't even listed very much on there so it's hard to get them in the secondary market now. |

Nice photos and review Joe, as usual.
Looking forward to this especially when I was thinking of putting my Jungle Demon Pradator into storage cause he was looking alone, lost, and out of place in my shelves. |

Great gallery of photos! The paint work looks excellent, I just generally dislike clear plastic figures. I have the biggest problems with them lasting.

For the most part, all I can think while looking at these photos is Sub-Zero Predator. Looks like a predator with ice powers. I do love ice powered characters though.

Has this been officially stated recently, or are we just making assumptions? Mike Harrigan is one of my most-wanted figures ever, and it would be perfect for a convention exclusive if NECA stupidly thinks it won't sell at retail.

If they are putting out multiple figures for The Predator 2 anniversary, then this year is probably the last shot at getting that figure announced. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was eventually released in a 2-pack with an updated Battle Damaged City Hunter.

You could release an L.A. Battle standard release with his sick pistol and shotgun, a meat factory variant with tactical vest, sawed off shotgun and M16 along with an extended spear or a City Hunter mask accessory, a battle damaged final battle variant with a predator net, and a collapsed and extended smart disc, they could even release an ash-covered variant for a convention exclusive with flintlock pistol just to get mileage out of the mold. There are just so many possibilities with this guy, fans have been clamoring for him for years and with how many other risks NECA often takes I can’t see how this of all the things they’ve released, constantly get’s the shaft. I’d really hate to have to wait fir a 35th anniversary just to have NECA ignore Harrigan once again. Last edited by AlanThCollector; 07-08-2020 at 02:20 PM.. |

It’s probably not about demand anymore. At this point, the hold up is likely the cost to get his likeness or his unwillingness to allow it.

We’ve seen them put in the effort guys like Carl Weathers and Jesse Ventura and despite those efforts coming up fruitless at least you could tell they tried. But when it comes to a Mike Harrigan figure the effort is a lot less obvious or rather nonexistent in comparison. The responses we’ve had from NECA over the years with Danny Glover lean mostly towards limited sales potential rather than Glover straight up saying no. Oh well here’s to hoping... At least we’re getting an updated lost tribe... |

There's 10 ultimates plus the exclusive with all the predators from the film given the ultimate treatment. That's the nine lost tribe this SDCC exclusive and one last ultimate. Given that we've not that long ago received an ultimate city hunter (with all the current features) it would be silly to give us another so soon, however, Randy's tweet seem to imply that the 10th ultimate is the battle damaged city hunter. With that im pretty much of the mind Harrigan is never going to happen just like Royce and pretty much most of the humans in the franchise.

You’re never going to see a Royce figure. There’s almost no market for an Adrien Brody figure. Unlike Danny Glover, the guy hasn’t had a lot of high profile action roles. So Harriman, I can absolutely see that being at least a worthwhile release that has appeal beyond the role.
Regarding Adrien Brody, the fact he isn't in many action movies is irrelevant. Remember they gave us Paul Riser ... I for one don't buy the characters for the love of the actor rather the love of the character. That said, his character in Predators isn't aweful and his physique is actually closer to a real spec ops soldier than Dutch. Contrary to 1980s movie your average commando isn't a body builder. A Royce figure would also be a good buck for soldier customs. Anyway, i know it's unlikely i'm well past expecting that to ever happen. |

While we're wish-listing, how about a Jerry Lambert 2-pack with the City Hunter? He could come with his little golf ball and a terrified expression on his face. After all, NECA already has used Bill Paxton's face.
The Predator could come with a sound effect instead of a light up one, where it says "Want some candy?" |

We don't know that Paxton's blue-haired punk died, he gets thrown against a gate and stays down but he could totally have been alive. Lance Henriksen has also been victim to all three listed, although Bishop's status as an artificial person allows him to survive being torn in half.

Hilarious you should see if they'll give you a job on SNL. While i get you're trying to mock me who wouldn't want more Bill Paxton figures? The only person to be killed by an Alien, Predator and a Terminator. Not to mention the fact he also played a vampire (Severen). If they didn't/couldn't give us a Harrigan then a Lambert figure would be just as awesome. Anyway, whatever i'm having fun speculating about what figures we might get in the near future. Last time i checked there wasn't anything wrong with that.
