NECA Announced the Pending Release of new Predator Figures from the new Predators Film and the Original P1 and P2 Films!
February 24th, 2010
Toy Fair 2010 has come and gone in New York and NECA has the Predator community pretty stoked about some upcoming action figures they have coming down the pipe! Fellow Pred-head Jason Schwab reports in to Predatorstuff.com with the latest scoop on these new pieces.
Neca is releasing not just toys based on the new Predators film, but figures based on the Original Predator and the Elder Predator from Predator 2 as well! The original predator figure will have 3 different figure poses - masked , unmasked open mouth , unmasked closed mouth. The details is simply amazing and I have high hopes for these toys to be the ultimate predator toys on the regular market.
Here are 3 links for those of you who want to find out what they look like with pics and a video from the toy fair convention of 2010. Check them out below:

Those are sick looking Im assuming there not the small 6″ figures and there the larger 12″ versions.
Will the mask have rubber hoses connecting? Also they need to touch up just alittle on the detail of the head and make sure the sculpt is 100 percent right from the movies.
These look great. But the question that always lingers with these things is how much the final product will look like these prototypes. If they do, I’m in for sure. But history says that is probably unlikely. I’ll cross my fingers.
They look awsome,when will they be released?
Yah, I was wondering that. How big will they be? Like the AVP Scar 12 inch figure. I dont keep track of who makes what, I just collect what I like but that one had good detail. Movie sucked but the figure was great. Wonder if thats what these will be? NECA’s usually pretty good on price too, compared to some others. Cant wait for more details.
I noticed that the two mandible teeth in the middle need to be shortened. They are alittle to long. I checked at the Predator 1 movie, and they are shorter: this way you can see the mouth better and stay true to the movie with detail. Hopefully NECA will spot this error they made. Hopfully they nail the head sculpt 100 percent from the movie with all the detail, not missing anyhing, aswell as the whole body sculpt with detail. If they can make the blades out of real metal, that would be a wonderfull touch. They need to stay TRUE to the movie in all 100 percent ways. Not miss a SINGLE DETAIL! Mask needs rubber hoses, (ALL 4)with light up strong bright lasers. Bomb denotation needs to be right, make other fisted hands but not thumb out for the others. ARTICULATION and make them BIG, A GOOD 12-18 INCHES! If they can add a few accesories like the red blanket, few more skulls he killed, and open medi-kit with all the tools inside like what Hot Toys did, but do it better! Loose dreads not long, and not too short,all individual. Adding real light up bomb sequence with sound would be amazing and blue light from the gun comming out making the sounds. Also a voice recorder of the predator saying a few lines from the movie (what the hell are you, and growlings-breathings)Real netting, and leather. Interchangeable heads or mandibles all in one package for a decent price. And if they can make a damaged version with blood all over on face and part body- very little, that will be cool. If they can use a rubber life like body with articulation instead of plastic, that will be great. Or if not, then make the plastic body great movability and life like. AND THERE YOU HAVE IT FOLKS, THE ULTIMATE SCAREY ALIEN CREATURE MONSTER THE PREDATOR!!! This babey will sell out hella QUICK!!!
ANYTHING I MISS, another fully closed mandible head sculpt!
Not sure if NECA will get that detailed. lol. That would be more Hot Toys area and they you would be looking at what? A $200 plus figure. I am guessing it will be a lot like the McFarlane ones. Detailed but not a ton of extra stuff. The switch up heads is a cool add but generally what they model at toyfair is what they will release. With only a few minor changes. Or thats just what I have seen. By the detail of the pics, it looks like they will be bigger figures though. I am just glad they are doing an Elder figure. From P2. He still remains one of my favorites.
Sounds like you need to get a figure/kit commissioned to your high standards, Frankie. You are going to be sorely disappointed with these figures if that is what you are expecting.
They look very good, but must 12-14″ only
no small stuff
They actually look more realistic than the “latest”
Hot toys Predator 1 model
Need a little more coloring in the body though
Your 1st 12″ effort, I had to re-color the body armour
to more silvering and added right leg wound chartruse
colored blood
These figures look fantastic.
Cant wait till they are released.
The detail is spot on in my opinion.
Neca have really come up trumps with these figures.
I really like the proto’s. Although, I believe that NECA’s figures are among the best in the 6-8″ scale department, like all fig’s of that scale… they will be accurate, but not to a ‘T’. You can only do so much with this scale, but I’m sure the articulation will be good *crossing fingers*.
It would be cool to have a 12″er or bigger… but then you would only be getting into HotToys realm and be looking at forking over some high dollars. I am all for that, but not on my budget. Those fig’s only cater to the rich, or kids’ parent’s who are rich. I can’t justify spending $150+ with every PREDATOR HotToys put’s out. Plus… my wife would have my nards on the chopping block (otherwise, I would be broke and eating welfare cheese and powdered milk for b/l/d). Aaaaah… to hit the lotto.
Is there a date when NECA will release these 12″ predators??? these predators look awesome!
The figures based on the new Predators movie are slated for release at the end of July according to Neca’s website
