-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.

On Twitter Randy said the 4th pred is named Ghost. It actually makes sense that only Leader would get to use the AVP body as he is supposed to be bigger than the other Kenner preds, I think Laseershot was the only other "bigger" figure Kenner did. I don't care about the other guys using the older buck because it's still a great figure overall. The only predators that will use the new AVP body are mainly going to be the predators who actually had it, so really just guys from the AVP movies who aren't Wolf. Randy also said that when series 16 is solicited this weekend we'll see Stalker and Ghost unmasked.

GMK Godzilla! I love that look so much, I was starting to worry I'd have to throw money at the SH version.


Edit: so they've shown a bunch of stuff on Twitter including an Ultimate Friday the 13th part 3 Jason. This kinda bums me because I only just got the ultimate part 6 figure back in December since the part 3 figure's are incredibly hard to find at good prices. So now I'm torn because the part 6 figure really is fantastic and I do like the look but part 3 is the one I wanted first. Well nothing says I can't have multiple Jason's (shut up the reality that is finite display space).

Edit #2: Thanks to the solicit image for Clan Leader it appears that his shoulder-whips will be removable.
