Stalker looks great (I love the alien head imbedded in the chest armour, but do not like the helmet (too over the top again) and the fact that the flesh has no pigment (I know it is glow in the dark and all, but it looks unfinished to me)... so I will be painting over the flesh to make it more of a realistic pred. Too bad that the helmet isn't removable either, as I would leave that off like for the clan leader)

My 2¢

It's pretty much the point that most of these guys are "over the top" and "too much" seeing as they're modern remakes of Kenner toys from the '90s. The original Spiked Tail honestly looked very little like a predator, Stalker essentially had goat horns under his mask, and Leader was wearing romper stompers while tentacles came out of his shoulders. Ghost on the other hand is not based on one the wackier toys so he does look mostly like a movie pred but without netting. I embrace the crazier over the top figures seeing as I already have enough that are closer to normal like Cracked Tusk and the Renegades so Ghost brings nothing new to my shelves. Obviously this discussion is focused on NECA's Kenner tributes and not their other predators.

Also yeah you can totally see in the new side images for Stalker that his mask is removable.
