NECA Teases Hawkins Figure from the original Predator

[SilverCenturion]

Wheres Hawkins body?

For a Second i thought we were getting poncho....who was my favorite and shoulda lived damnit!

[Joe Moore]

Fixed the pic. My bad. Was in a rush & it was first good large pic that came up in a search for Hawkins.

Also, NECA replied "Or Not". So if this isn't a Hawkins figure, I don't know why there's a giant thing that says "Hawkins" right in the middle of the pic.

I thought they already released Hawkins' figure? It was included in the Predator accessories pack.

That was funny

Honestly, if they can't make a Dillon, Blain, or Billy figure - hell, or Harrigan from Predator 2 - I don't think NECA should even bother with the scrub members of Dutch's team. I sure as hell don't have much interest in a figure of Hawkins, AKA The Pussy Joke Guy.

I really don't know what it is at this point. He's either playing super coy about it cause he can't officially announce Hawkins, or he's not making a Hawkins figure and is messing with everyone with another Dutch (I really hope it's not another variation of Dutch).

They might have just been goofing around...they found that Coke and were just being funny.

Also, don't underestimate the use of a medium build military body for customs. For that alone a Hawkins figure would be worth it.

I just want another member of the team outside of Dutch. I'm running into a bit of Arnold overload. If it does end up being a red shirt Dutch, I just hope it's a 2-pack with another character, and then everyone will go nuts.

Could it be some kind of an inside joke since Shane Black is making the new Predator movie?

Sick burn but not 100% accurate. We never officially see what happens to Hawkins' body except that he was gutted and strung up but last we see him he still has his skin.

I think it's safe to say that it's probably not red shirt Dutch, the only possible variation on that character left. As far as I can tell, it would require extensive new tooling, which I can't see them bothering with. But who knows?

I'm wondering if the folder is some sort of direct clue or not. It does have the flag of Val Verde on it, the fictional country that Predator takes place in...weren't they looking at a folder just like that in the beginning of the movie? Which, of course, could mean that is IS red shirt Dutch...

[beckmen]

It's probably the red shirt Dutch, but considering who was interested in the intel in the movie, it's possible that it's Dillon. NECA has a nice Carl Weathers head that they could use, and the body sculpt could be a kitbash since Weathers and Schwarzenegger have such a similar build.

I think the skinless corpse was jim harper and his men than freaked billy out in the begining before they got to the rebel village where blaine didnt have time to bleed.

PONCHO RAMIREZ! i still say he shoulda lived since the laser dart didnt explode him so he coulda just been knocked out.

It wasn't until this past Halloween, while watching Predator with some buddies, that I realized that Hawkins was played by Shane effin' Black !

I LOVE Monster Squad, and I have a couple of friends who have an inexplicable, non-ironic love of the Lethal Weapon franchise (as well as any of Shane Black's other 80's and 90's "buddy cop" movies), so I've seen so many of his movies, soooo many times, but I somehow NEVER knew that he was Hawkins !!!

Gonna say Hawkins for definite, but red shirt Dutch... I'm thinking the cigar-chomping head from the previous release with a pair of removable shades and hat, maybe?

Just seems a bit of a stretch as a figure though, even as an SDCC exclusive or something.

There's been quite a few mentions of Dillon/Weathers from Randy on Twitter too! Gah, I dunno... A Dillon figure would make a lot more sense to me than what seems like a hard sell red shirt Dutch.

But that M16... to my knowledge, only Dutch and Billy used them, with Poncho and Dillon using MP5s. How likely are we to see Billy? I actually thought the actor was dead for some reason, but he's still around.

I'll say Billy, Dillon, and Hawkins just so I stop beating myself up! Then they can go to the remaining actors and say, 'See? Everyone else has signed up!'

Billy had a shotgun attachment under the barrel of his rifle. Only Dutch and Poncho carried grenade launchers. Dutch had his attached to his rifle, while Poncho had a 6 barrel MGL styled launcher.

True, and I've just seen a photo where Hawkins has an MP5, but I still can't quite buy the red shirt Dutch. Maybe in a 2 pack with Hawkins, but it seems like a real stretch!

Maybe there's a Predator Club closer than we think...
