I wonder if it's a new sculpt/paint application because I already got that version of Dutch.

I know it's been said that Jesse Ventura isn't a possibility, but has anyone from NECA approached Sonny Landham (Billy) or Bill Duke (Mac)? Although if Dillon or Blain aren't happening, I would think that would cut down on the chances of the "lesser" team members getting figures. Quote:
The original figure is already perfect and features one of NECA's best likenesses and paint jobs ever (not to mention great articulation), so even if there is a subtle change or two for the new one it's not really worth buying again. Last edited by Dolemite; 02-02-2017 at 07:19 AM.. |

Shit! So, unless Randy is fibbing in order to unleash a surprise later on (which he's done before), it looks like talks with Carl Weathers did indeed sputter out as usual. Bummer.

As for the 7 figures, Randy said mostly reissues with one or two surprises thrown in the mix. So I expect at least 2 more Dutch's to be re-released (Muddy Dutch and Jungle Extraction Dutch are my guesses). If you look at the visual guide for the Predator 1 releases, you can condense those down to 4-5 releases & add in 2 new variants.

As someone who has just fell in love with Predator, this is a great re-release for me and I think others. I have seen this guy go for $50 or more online, but I am glad to see this will be released again at retail. Also wouldn't mind to see him in the battle-ready muddied look.

Thanks! I was at a park in the mountains in upstate NY a few years back and thought it was perfect for a Predator photoshoot. You can check out the whole thing here: Arnold/Predator NECA Outdoor Pics - HissTank.com

They really need to make his team. Just sculpt similar but different enough likenesses and viola, i mean seriously what the hell have landham, duke, chavez and weathers doing that they cant use a lil extra cash for signing some likeness rights to a toy company. I mean we know shane black has a good movie writing career but the lazt thing i remember landham doing was best of the best two and chavez i havent seen do anything since the war of the worlds tv series. Either way glad this dutch is getting re-released as i need him for a few customs and the secondary market prices and sellers are on meth with their asking prices and trying to trade for him is never happened.

I'd love to have a Billy figure more than Blain or Mac. Although I must agree that without Dillon, there's no point in releasing other members.
If all members should be released in 2-packs, it would be great to mix Dillon/Mac, Billy/Poncho & Blain/Hawkins. |

I'm inclined to agree that fans will pick their favorite characters, and only a die-hard minority would go after the entire team.
I'd be partial to Hawkins, with his MP5 and a comic book accessory. |

I'd love the whole team, but would also settle for whatever they could pull off, which sadly seems nothing beyond Dutch. With Shane Black's continued involvement in the franchise, I'd assume his rights would be fairly easy to secure, but what do I know? His asking price may be too high for the amount of figures they figure they can sell.
If I'm really asked to pick just one more..I'd have to go with Bill Duke. That way I could buy 2 and make one for Commando, as well. |
