Sure thing. It sucks trying to track down older figures in this line, their price gets jacked up because you can't find them in stores anymore. I'm still not really sure how I feel about the battle armored Lost Predator, it looks good as a figure in the line but the helmet is the main point of interest. It's a cool looking piece and from I've seen is very well done, but I just don't entirely feel it fits with the predator. I mean when you just watch the movies their masks are fairly minimal, even some of them are much more ornate but don't feel so tech-based, but NECA's design feels more Star Wars (or Trek) in nature. We technically don't know a lot about the Predators so it is entirely possible that they could have helmets that look like that, it comes down to personal preference on the battle armored Lost Predator helmet.

NECA Cracked Tusk Predator Cardback - The Toyark - News

Really digging Cracked Tusk's art, and his bio is neat. Looking at the packaged figures in the back you can see that the figure will have the netting painted, I get why the art doesn't have netting but I was curious if the final figure would since the sculpt is still netted. It also kind of looks like he will be coming with a smart disc in addition to his spear accessory. The official description for the set said he'd have a spear and disc, but they never showed the disc so I didn't know if it made it.

Scavage Predator Cardback and Bio - The Toyark - News

Wow, that bio felt really forced and a bit of a stretch.

I love the Kenner Predator lines, and I have most of the originals still to this day. This wave looks great, although I really wish Scavage came with his launching bolo weapon from the original Kenner figure (or as my friends and I affectionately call it, the Predator hedge clippers.) :)

I like how these bios are all interconnected and make every Predator sound good in their own way, it feels like what Kenner would have done if they had given them bios back when. I wonder if now we'll get a Kenner styled Predator hound to go with this guy since his bio mentions one and a Kenner homage deco on the hound from Predators could look neat. I always called the Nightstorm/Scavage launcher thing a crotch gun since it clipped around their waist.

so aren't these supposed to be out now ? im ready to jump on a Scavage Predator. reminds me of the my old Scavage from the kenner line.

According to the NECA shipping calendar they're out very soon, but different online stores say not until April.

It's supposed to remind us of the Kenner ones, so yeah mission accomplished. Scavage is the only one in this set I don't plan to get, Nightstorm looks way cooler and has more of that Kenner vibe. Scavage still looks great but the super predator mold isn't strong enough to merit him for me.

after seeing today's update i jumped on the Scavage !!! i won't touch the renegade until they do the redo, and cracked tusk until we get a head with a actual cracked tusk !!

I'm actually the opposite. Cracked Tusk is a must, regardless of which head he has. Renegade just looks nice and green is my favorite color. Scavage looks nowhere near as cool as Nightstorm in my opinion, but if I ever see him in person I may cave and get one.

Really hoping the renegade + alien two pack is made and is worth it.

well if they are making a 2 pack sort of like a homage to kenners two pack from back in the day. then i'll jump on him. that is of course if they make him the color of the original one i have lol

cracked tusk i also want but i'm hoping they redue him to where you can see his face with the actual cracked tusk.

On Twitter Randy said if they do the 2-pack it will be the brown armored khaki/blue skinned Renegade. The green one is accurate to the original individual Renegade figure, but the original two pack was more popular and came before the individual version.

They could make an unmasked Cracked Tusk later, but it was easier to just reuse the masked head so they went with that one.
