Toy company NECA has been responsible for Alien and Predator figures for the past couple of years, doing several series’ based on AvPR and a Giger and Cameron Alien. Horror Bid have just posted up that they will be doing a Predator series:
“We have confirmed with NECA’s Head of Product Development, Randy Falk, that the collectibles company will be producing action figures based on Predator, Predator 2 and the upcoming Nimród Antal directed entry, Predators. The figures will focus on the Predators and their many unique looks as seen in the three films. No human characters are immediately planned, though they are a possibility in the future“.
The news originally came from Figures.com but the source article seems to be down. Thanks to Lt. Mike Harrison for the news.

It’s Harrigan! But yeah, can’t wait to get a peek at the P1 & P2 figures! Hopefully they’re as good as the AvPR ones.
THis is fucking awesome news. I always knew Neca would do it, the question remaining was when. To improve upon mcfarlane’s efforts there needs to be good articulation, a removable mask with adjustable mandables to fix facial expressions for both the main predators of the first two movies. More accurate to screen sculpt and detail. Last but not least figures that were not made yet. For instance the (AUTHENTIC) Elder from predator 2 not Avp. No offense but the cape was a dumb touch. There also needs to be a scar, Celtic, and CHopper Pred with all of what i mentioned. Neca also needs to make them unbreakable, particularly the wristblades. Not too much to worry about on that issue aside from the aliens figs. As much as I love the warrior alien from Aliens, it’s way too delicate. I recently bought one that broke in the package so I’m waiting on my new one the website is shipping to me as compensation.
This is great news, I could always use more Predator figures. I still have my McFarlane Predator 1, but it has virtually no poseability. I’m hoping these new Neca figures will be just as poseable as their AVP:R ones, and that the release date isn’t as far away as next Spring. Neca hasn’t made shit for awhile, so they better step up. Mezco has been dominating the market for the last 2 years or so.
