NECA Teases Mysterious New Predator Figure

[Dolemite]

Nice! BTW, is there a release date for the new updated Jungle and City Hunter Predators?

Hi, first time here. That teaser image got my interest piqued!

City Hunter comes first in late Fall, then Jungle Hunter in Winter. Says Randy on Twitter.

I think the eyes are just gonna be glow in the dark and not actually light up since the figure is gonna be in translucent plastic and seeing the wiring in the head would hurt the look. My guess as to what this may be is a first peak at the 30th anniversary wave for next year which Randy has talked about doing. When they did the 25th ann. waves we got just regular jungle hunter and then also the water emergence cloaked figure (plus those Dutch figures) so maybe for the 30th ann. we'll just get this jungle cloaked one since the ultimate figure covers the non-cloaked looks (and maybe a re-release of one of the Dutch figures since people have been asking for that on Twitter).

Also, welcome to the Ark Gunathar!

Thanks man, and welcome!

I don't think it lights up at all. It appears to be painted that way to appear to be lit.

Reference scene.



EDIT - It appears to be the Ultimate mold as well.

Thanks! Glow in the dark eyes certainly would be a neat feature. Even if they're not, that mid-cloak figure is a sure buy for me.

I really don't think it's just paint. Definitely paint on the mask, but not the actual eyes. What they may have done is made the lenses translucent green, and when a light source is behind his head they appear to glow. That's a technique that has been done for years. I've seen people do this on NECA Terminators and it's very effective.

But it would make no sense to still have the glow on the mask when there's no light coming through the lenses.

I had actually asked Randy on Twitter about such a figure, asking had they ever made one, and stated I thought it would be cool. He just said they'd never made one lol.
