They reused the gort mask for one of the Predators in the tribe at the end of Predator 2 and the Celtic Predator from the first AvP was inspired by it. It's ugly as all sin and I'm glad it's not the iconic Predator look.

Gort is the Jungle Hunter with the mask seen in these pics. The mask design was intended to be used as the mask in the original Predator, but the producers felt the design had too much in common with the face underneath and went with the more simplified mask that was used i nthe film.

I'm sure it'll look just as good in person NECA is excellent at their exotic paint deco's, and this falls in that category. (the do good work all around just sayin this will look as they want it to)

Those are some rad figures. Dutch is Arnold when he was at his BEST! I'm definitely in for at least the commando (regular?) DUTCH figure. By chance do you know when the preorders are going up Joe? Thanks if possible and posting these images

He is part of the Lost Tribe at the end of Predator 2. (Sort of). There is a whole story behind GORT. The "GORT" figure is what the first Predator WOULD HAVE looked like if they had not changed the mask design in Predator 1. They used the unused mask from P1 and put it on one of the Preds in the ship at the end of Predator 2. So Technically Gort is not really seen in any movie.

The Heat 02-09-2017 01:29 PM

You guys are all crazy if you think anything other than the mud Dutch is the best one. I can maybe understand getting the one with the sleeves if you want a catch-all version of the character, but the muddy one is just so damn good looking in person!

Also I'm a little bit bummed that they didn't make the red polo shirt Dutch from the beginning of the movie. It's literally the only costume change they haven't made so far.

Preorders are up now on BBTS.

Wish they tooled a new dutch with the red shirt from the beginning of the movie. Line sells well, why not reward fans?

Tokyomeltdown 02-09-2017 03:53 PM

NECA's Dutch is some of their finest work in the 7" scale, absolutely adore them. Good to see a re-release, but just wish there was a Dillon too...

Tokyomeltdown 02-09-2017 03:54 PM

"Wish they tooled a new dutch with the red shirt from the beginning of the movie."

Totally, and would love to see a 'Last Action Hero' Arnie...

Agreed. I'm glad latecomers will get access to past figures, but I was hoping for at least one new figure for the 30th. Red Shirt Dutch would have made sense, if not any other members of Dutch's team. The Jungle Demon is cool at least.

I get the sense that Randy at NECA loves Alien more, which is where the focus seems to be right now. They've been doing a great job at getting likeness rights there.

While Randy may or may not prefer the Alien movies (there are two fantastic films as opposed to Predator which just has the one standout) I think the characters simply are more marketable or at least the marines are. Likeness rights aside the people from the Aliens movies are more fleshed out and memorable as where only Dutch's team boasts any remarkable characters from the pred franchise and even then a couple are forgettable.

True. Plus there's not quite as much variety available with the Xenomorphs themselves, so the humans feel more important to sustain the line. I still think if Frost would sell, a lesser member of Dutch's team like Billy or Mac would sell (since they can't get Weathers or Ventura to sign off). I also think that as the Predator line gets further down the AvP and comic road, it'd be nice to get some new figures from the first two films...especially with the 30th Anniversary.

No, whats ugly as sin is the predators actual face. the mask just makes it uglier

Bearjew 02-10-2017 04:06 PM

What is that on Jungle extraction Dutch's vest? No way those are grenades, look more like tiny Christmas ornaments. That scale is kinda off. I checked on BBTS and predators are already sold out! I wasn't sure they would be that popular with the ultimate coming out

Arnold described the predator's face best.

But the ultimate predator isn't pre-sold out, I find that amusing.

Bearjew 02-10-2017 07:38 PM

I believe that I like the closed mouth better on the Jungle hunter.I feel like it represents the character of that predator more.I feel like that predator was very calculated, a thinker rather than a hot head.

WastelandAngel 02-10-2017 08:30 PM

Very excited about these, I missed out on all of the Dutch figures the first go around, and that jungle demon looks killer, man my wallet is going to feel the burn for the foreseeable future.

They're Dutch (how appropriate, an inside joke from the film makers I'm sure...) V40 "Mini-Frag" Grenades. They were manufactured in the Netherlands and were very popular with special forces troops during the Vietnam war era due to them being so tiny and lightweight, yet still having a decent kill radius (about 16 feet.) Literally one of the smallest hand grenades ever used, and when you compare them to Arnold's massive frame in the film, I'd say they are about right...

Wow, that's awesome info. I always thought they were out of scale, but it makes total sense now.

Am I the only one who thought it was funny that they decided to call him "Jungle Extraction Dutch" instead of the more accurate "Jungle Insertion Dutch". Wonder how that meeting went.
