My initial impressions of the new Preds:

-Absolutely LOVE Leader! Great color scheme, love the closed mandible look, weapon etc. Perfect. Question however: are the tails removable?

-Stalker, I know Neca is trying to do an homage to the original, but I honestly was hoping for a non-glow-in-the-dark, serious version with no 'gimmicks'. Oh well, I'll still be buying it. lol

-Spiked Tail, looks great with another excellent paint/color scheme. The ONLY complaint I have, which is also shared with Stalker and the 4th Pred (is that Renegade?) is that they appear to be using the older body style, and not the new body with 30+ points of articulation. If you look closely, Leader is the only one with chest/upper torso articulation, like the AvP Preds (due to the same mold I assume). The lack of articulation on newer Preds is a little bit of a letdown for me....

4th Predator - I hate being overly critical, because I genuinely love NECA and the quality of their work, but this Pred is a big 'meh'. Seems very...........plain? Boring? Generic? I can't quite put my finger on it, but it looks like it could be from one of the early waves/series. It looks unfinished and lacking when compared to recent offerings.
