NECA Predator Series 16

Did they ever announce anything about that awesome bone throne they displayed a little while back? I'd buy the shit out of that.

The last I heard it was announced that it would be produced and sold but I haven't heard anything about the date of release

Yeah, Randy has stated on Twitter that the throne will eventually be released, I think at some point in 2017.

Spring '17.

Love this line. Ghost gets better with every pic. Very tempted to buy two of him for display just so I don't have to mess around with the mask!

And now I'm wondering if I should do that with the whole set (I already have it pre-ordered)...

kylactus · 10-19-2016, 03:37 PM

They all have removable masks? Anyone have a pic of spike tail with his mask off?

streams · 10-19-2016, 03:53 PM

I for one do not like the new knee articulation... much prefer what they had before. It looks as though the articulation there would get weaker over time.

I will definitely be getting Ghost... but the other 2 are meh... I don't like feeling the desire to buy Stalker so I can paint proper skin coloring on the head and limbs, only to have NECA re-release that sculpt fully painted without the GITD gimmick... I really like the design, not the gimmick.

The mouth breather mask isn't the removable part it's the part that covers his eyes and forehead which is his removable mask piece.

The knee articulation is the same double hinge that they've had since 2012 and my oldest figures with those knees are still totally fine and solid.

Looking forward to these releasing. While spiked tail is a definite. Im kinda ify with ghost. Looks cool and all but i believe isn't he just a repaint ?

Bearjew · 10-19-2016, 05:38 PM

Hmmm... I may consider it a gimmick if they done a glow in the dark mold in an old figure like they did with the clear SDCC 2016 Scar. Or maybe the glow in the dark alien, or the alien display pink, blue, orange, etc. Seeing as how they all appear to be their own unique mold and paint I don't really consider it a gimmick.

If you're referring to his armor, then you'll love the eventual Broken Tusk figure NECA will put out somewhen in 2017... Basically the same alien head chest piece as this one but with a badass paint app if they stay true to the Aliens vs Predator comics source material:

Personally, I can't wait for this character to finally achieve plastic immortality. And if NECA release him in a 2-pack with Machiko, I'll have a geekgasm.

I laughed a lot harder at that then I should have!

One way or the other I will be picking up this line for many years to come.

I'd really only get the spiked tail predator because of giant cool armor and accessories.

mikepredator · 10-20-2016, 06:29 AM

This is a kind of ''Meh'' line for me.

Spiked tail's armor looks SPECTACULAR but a bit excessive imho.

Ghost is kinda growing on me,at first i thought 'NO way' but now these photos make him a lot more appealing.

Stalker was and IS my favorite of this line,great armor and genarally great posture.But i dont like at all the GIND feature...i know it is a Kenner tribute but still...Do you think they will make a painted version of him in the future?

See two posts up. There's absolutely no way they're passing up doing Broken Tusk from the original AvP comic. They even went so far as to tease him a few months ago. As Gunathar said, the only thing that's in question here is whether or not they're ever going to make a Machiko at some point to go along with him (I really hope they do).

Yea i saw it,i meant an exact painted body of stalker cause i really love his mask and his horns...but anyway i would love to have a broken tusk!Machiko would be great!

Bearjew · 10-20-2016, 08:26 AM

I am sure they will release a painted version of stalker. Probably as another predator version like broken tusk. It would be foolish not to utilize the body mold they did so they can paint it rather than simply gitd plastic. I am committed though. Count me in, I am happy they did a glow in the dark figure though just as a departure from the usual.
I wish they would hurry up and release them already!

En Sabah Nerd · 10-20-2016, 09:15 AM

Re: a painted Stalker; NECA has said that there will be more Kenner waves and the only actual Kenner figure they haven't gotten to yet is Lasershot (who is mentioned in Spiked Tail's bio) so there will have to be some fillers and repaints fit the bill. Plus even Kenner did a non GitD repaint of Stalker without calling it another character so NECA could do something similar.

Yes!

Folks, at least wait until you see these in-store. The amount of Preds I passed up then spent a fortune on way down the line... Some of them don't truly come to life until removed from the packaging lol.

Nope, not waiting. I will decide when I cut open the brown box the mailman gives me! I already have mine pre-ordered, if I don't like it then I will pass it on, my children aren't nearly as picky as me lol. I am sure it will save me money down the road trying to run down one I passed up on.

Look what just came in today...

Finally got the pictures up. What are your thoughts on the figures?
Did these come in your mail box? To Neca? Where are the details?!
Lol, kidding. I am looking forward to when mine come in. Seems like forever when you are waiting
