Just a couple of quick thoughts, I'm really hoping that this is the last of the AVP movie Predators until we get an updated Wolf or a few more skins from the last videogame. The paints on these have been getting worse and worse, with the colors on the Clan Leader and Youngblood being an incredibly bright yellow. I'm also disappointed that NECA didn't give the Clan Leader's headsculpt the same revamped love that Scar did, as he still looks absolutely goofy...right down to those silly, all too human looking eyes. Youngblood is a straight repaint of the Temple Guardian Predator, using Scar's bio mask, and without the nice washes on the armor that Temple Guardian received.

Serpent Hunter is the winner of this wave (as expected with some nice detail on the armor (again recycled from previous figures) and a new set of blades on his wrists to replicate the dual wielding from the game. The red outlines on the armor help it to pop a bit, and the skin tones are a bit darker as well, and the belt and loin cloth look like an entirely new piece.. Unfortunately, it looks like NECA has drowned this one in a wash of paint sealant as they have been recently, so do be careful handling him, as I can see some possibly stuck joints just by looking into the package.

Thanks for the quick review!

I already pre-ordered Elder Predator to complete my AvP clan. Can't wait to have him, goofy face and all. Bit of a bummer about Youngblood though. I was hesitating but if his armor is that blend than I'll pass. Serpent Hunter looks nice but money was a factor so only one figure for me in this series.
