You're gonna have to wait another day I'm afraid, Randy just tweeted half an hour ago that the Kenner stuff (And "more") has still not arrived. The "more" could mean the Ultimate Predators among other things, since Randy answered a tweet asking for them specifically with "Not here yet".

So we'll probably see new stuff tomorrow, maybe, maybe later today if we're lucky.

I really feel bad for NECA, that’s such an unfortunate thing to happen.

I'm starting to wonder too. They previewed the prototype of the City Hunter, but as far as I know we haven't seen anything about the Jungle Hunter at this point.

There's also the possibility that they're going to roll them out in the next few hours/days since they don't throw out everything at once when they do their convention displays.

I love the Rocky and Drago. Awesome blood/spit accessory. NECA continues to give customers an incredible bang for their buck! Finally a Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman figure!! And that Hulk will be massive! Cant wait to see him all packaged up! I don't collect 1/4 scale figures, but I am definitely gonna start with these two. Does anyone have an idea of what Catwoman and Hulk will cost?

Catwoman will be around $100. Hulk around $300. BBTS has it for preorder for $289, I believe.

Joe Moore · 07-21-2016, 09:25 AM

Apparently, they're waiting on more than few boxes to show up from FedEx. The team will be swinging back around later to get new stuff & other pics.

Wow! Hopefully the articulation is good! I think it might be worth the $300 that's a huge hunk of plastic. lol Do you guys think the legs will straighten? or will they be in that slightly bent pose with limited knee articulation?

Yeah, I believe Randy said he's 2' tall. I've only seen it with the bent legs, but I'm sure it'll have knee articulation. Might be given the size, the bent pose is best for stability.

Makes sense, cant wait to see him in action!

VashTS · 07-21-2016, 01:46 PM

NECA said some of their bigger stuff has not arrived as Fed Ex had some type of delays. Cannot wait to see what other goodies they have.

Ummm, the Jungle Hunter's box is here. Hopefully they're just making us wait and the big reveals will come once the delay is dealt with.

Pravus Prime · 07-21-2016, 03:25 PM

$40 for the Ali/Superman 2-pack is a pretty decent price and official confirmation that Supes has regular alternate hands is darn cool.

suchaname · 07-21-2016, 03:38 PM

Ultimate Jungle Hunter is on their Twitter feed if you scroll down... Browser fail here. Tbh I'm not blown away, but then I wasn't expecting to be.

What are those two silver things slightly behind his feet?

CasualCollector · 07-21-2016, 04:20 PM

These photos have reinforced my love of the design for Ghost Predator.

But yes, Ultimate Jungle Hunter, give it to me.

SDCC 2016 - NECA GMK Godzilla - The Toyark - News

ok0rdib · 07-21-2016, 04:33 PM

I'm so hyped for that GMK Godzilla, by far my favorite Godzilla movie/design. I'm really glad to see that they're doing Shin Godzilla as well, can't wait to see it painted up! I hope they get to the Cookie Monster Godzilla suit eventually. Always wanted a figure of that thing.

Something2day · 07-21-2016, 04:50 PM

YUUSSS!!!! The articulation update on the both Jungle and City Hunter is very welcomed, finally I'll be able to line up the wristblades to where the hands are facing and make use of the wrist computer. Hopefully the paint on the netting is as clean as it is on this prototype.

En Sabah Nerd · 07-21-2016, 05:19 PM

Jungle hunter looks great but I hope the figure will come with at least one trophy accessory otherwise it's just him, an alternate head, and alternate hand(s).

Joe Moore · 07-21-2016, 05:30 PM

Better pics of Shin Godzilla announcement added to Godzilla post.

Lovetoys101 · 07-21-2016, 06:57 PM

Ultimate dream warriors Freddy looks awesome. Can't wait

suchaname · 07-22-2016, 07:54 AM

Er, why do my posts keep disappearing? They've only been NECA's pics lifted from their Twitter, if that's actually the problem?

SDCC2016 - Official NECA Pics and Info of New Items - The Toyark - News

Kenner Aliens and Mayor Penguin official pics & info.

donmeca2020 · 07-22-2016, 09:30 AM

the mantis and gorilla aliens are definite purchases for me !!!!

Joe Moore · 07-22-2016, 09:36 AM

Team is heading over to take pics of the new items they put out. Have them as soon as we can.

RamenRider · 07-22-2016, 09:42 AM

I'm a little disappointed that the third figure in the wave is the Queen Facehugger, but oh man: Gorilla and Mantis look absolutely fantastic!

Both are sculpted perfectly, the translucent green and the claws of Mantis are awesome, and Gorilla... wow. The removable dome is a really cool touch.

I also love that NECA goes the extra nostalgia mile again by including the mini-comics like they did with the AvP two-pack.

I'm not a huge fan of the Queen Facehugger, but I like that they include a smaller version of it to use with your human figures, and since I suspect it won’t cost as much as Mantis and Gorilla I might just buy the whole wave.

And we need to buy these so we get more. Just imagine how cool a (deluxe?) Bull Alien might look!
