Looking pretty awesome! I'm especially blown away that it's coming with two heads...one masked, and one with a removable mask! When I saw early pics I assumed it was only coming with the head with the removable mask, so the inclusion of a separate head with a non-removable mask is absolutely fantastic. Full gallery here.


Ships April 2017. Can't wait for this or the Ultimate City Hunter. I love NECA.

Great job by NECA. That is simply the best Jungle Hunter ever! Only thing missing is an open mouth head but otherwise perfection.

Looks pretty rad, though I have a minor correction. It looks like that's the separate mask that came with the final showdown 2 pack (or whatever it was called) which was a separate, non-attachable piece. Regardless, it's looking pretty good!

I may pick this guy up. I have the open mouthed head from an older version, which I'd like to use as the display head, but I'm wondering about how much of a pain in the ass it'll be to get that head on the newer model (if at all).

Yeah the separate mask isn't going to be removable or wearable at all, it's just the mask that came with the final battle two pack so you can display it at his feet. If they had actually made it wearable/removable then this would be one of the worst predators they've done because either the face would be shrunken/scrunched or the mask would be oversized.

Thanks for sharing Dolemite

Ah, thanks for the correction, guys. That's good news about the mask...I agree that it wouldn't have worked that well, but I initially assumed that it was removable because the Predator had a closed mouth. I was actually confused by the inclusion of the second masked head, but it all makes perfect sense now.

Still, with that loose mask I can re-create that awesome scene in the first movie where the Predator first removes his mask with both hands, so there's that.

Yeah this guy looks like a great starting point for newcomers or people who just want one definitive predator.

I've been waiting for this guy for awhile now. Really glad they're doing these Ultimate releases for us newer fans.

Also, that box art looks amazing. The Predators have had some very visually-appealing packaging.

It's a shame they haven't added swappable expressions to these predators.

I think they're too small for it to work rather than using swap-off heads. I'm not saying it physically can't be done but a system of interchangeable face parts, especially for the mandibles, probably wouldn't look good.

The pics all make his wrist blades look... curious, relative to other releases.

So how is this different from the Jungle Hunter Masked and Jungle Hunter Unmasked 30th Ann. figures also coming out? Am I correct that there are three Jungle Hunters coming out? Thanks-

The masked Predator for the 30th Anniversary is the Gort (prototype) mask Predator. The Unmasked Predator has only 1 real accessory, a skull and spine. The Ultimate has masked & unmasked heads, multiple skulls, a blast effect, a mask and interchangeable hands.

I preordered both Unmasked JH and Ultimate JH. Basically the same body but I will have all three different heads: masked, unmasked (closed mouth) and unmasked (opened mouth).

My way of getting the Ultimate ultimate Jungle Hunter!

The store by me already got them in today, despite NECA's shipping calendar stating that they only started going out to retailers yesterday! So, I picked up two, just as I just as I did with the City Hunter, due to all of the different display options available.

It's funny, but the Jungle Hunter seems to come with so much less gear/accessories than the City Hunter did, although that's in no way NECA's fault...it's just that the City Hunter in Predator 2 has so many more toys than the one in the first movie did. Believe me, NECA crammed as much as they could into this release.

No wobbly hips, either, thankfully...all joints are nice and tight, and the wrist computer door is firm and doesn't break just by opening it.

But MAN, then you open the package, the paint smell is stronger than any other recent NECA release I've gotten. Whew!

Overall, it's a great figure. Very pleased.

I'm jealous you got it already! Looks really nice. Can't wait to get mine.

Actually, the paint smell is so bad because some pieces - mostly the masks and armored bits - have some weird stinky grease on them. You can clean it off, but it's odd that it's there to begin with.

I'll have to get to TRU! Though, the store by me has all but gotten rid of the "Collector's Corner". They haven't gotten any new NECA or McFarlane in since the Ripley/ Newt pack.

Yeah, the "corner" was actually 12 feet of an aisle, just for NECA & McFarlane. Now it's down to 4 feet, and they have Funko, Diamond Select, and even some Mattel in those 4 feet. There's more Muppet Minimates in the section than NECA. It's a sad state of affairs.

No TRU Collector's Corner here in QC, Canada. Even online their selection sucks. So glad for Northmen Collectibles!
