not final product...hehehe oh neca will earn some money from fans, both looks awesome
Muddied Arnie looks awesome!!
I dont usually like variants but in this case, a mud covered Dutch to go alongside with an unmasked Anytime and a normal Dutch with a masked Anytime feels, well it feels right.

Please Fox, please! Allow Neca to sell such amazing figure! Predator fans have been waiting for a long time for a Dutch figure and most of us we can´t pay premium prices for the Hot Toys and Sideshow versions so please give the permissions to Neca!
Holy shit those are awesome. I just hope they have knee articulation.

they should take the head off the jungle duel and repaint it - put it on the clean Dutch.
Muddied Dutch is definitely the more interesting out of the two.

Something is off about clean Dutch's face. His jaw looks crooked. Like he just took a punch.

If you look closely, you will notice that the vest is not fully painted.
And yeah, his jaw looks a bit off.

The jungle duel sculpt is one of the best Schwarzenegger sculpts I've ever seen. It's better than HT's recent DX T2 T-800.
dutch is a must buy,for sure.
So, I'm going to go ahead and assume these will be released with the prometheus figures? Anyways these figures look amazing and I can't wait for them to be released, looks like I'll have to set some cash aside. ;D
Seems NECA is planning 3 more Dutch figures.
Five Dutch figures are planned, two to be included in NECA's Predator Series 8 and two in Predator Series 9, both Predator 25th anniversary waves. A fifth Dutch will be an exclusive.
jesse scranton @jessescranton
@NECA_TOYS so five dutch figures?? that's INSANE!!
@NECA_TOYS
@jessescranton now watch the movie and see if you can guess all five
jesse scranton @jessescranton
@NECA_TOYS i have a pretty good idea but maybe a hint??
@NECA_TOYS
@jessescranton no hints you saw two of them try and guess the remaining three. All part of the fun speculating & wondering what we'll do
My guess is
Dutch in Jungle uniform (already seen)
Mud covered Dutch (already seen)
Dutch smoking cigar in sunglasses and civilian clothes
Mud covered Dutch after he has had the shit kicked out of him, so more blood less weapons
Battle damaged Dutch in Jungle uniform
Those seem like the most obvious.

I don't know dude, fans just like battle damaged characters to have in their collection. It's a bit silly to say its crap don't you think?
I'm just speculating, man.
yea but see the character (mud v.) already has blood , so whats with needing one thats more bloody? anyways i care more about the preds char than the humans but yea i know thats just me .
This will probably be one of them...

There's also shirtless Dutch, without the mud. Basically from the very end, the "you're one ugly motherf**ker" scene. He's pretty much rinsed off at that point.
I wonder if there's any chance we'll get Blaine with the gatling gun...that would be awesome. I'm almost ready to customize an Apollo Creed figure to make Dillon.

i'm sure some of us would buy most humans from Predator and Aliens. i know i would. and blaine is one of the coolest dudes in pred, together with dutch and dillon.
1. Dutch "hmmmmmmmm pose"
2. Muddy Dutch
3. Dutch when he 1st arrives in the Jungle
4. Dutch Civillian Clothes
5. Dutch with shoulder blast "get to the choppah!" (exclusive)
the one without mud looks like a stallone/arnold ....ugly as hell they should have used the same head as the one with mud

yeh, we need harrigan. and Royce. we need all the heroes/heroines. yes, Ripley too
But it isn't Aliens anniversary :laugh:
I'm buying the mud covered Dutch and making a diorama of right before he lights his torch and yells the manliest battlecey ever.
If we got a shouting mud covered Dutch, I'd make some sort of kickass candle
Looks like Dutch might be it for human figs from PREDATOR...
@NECA_TOYS Must've missed that announcement... Do you think there's potential for other humans? I'd love to see Blaine & Dillon with Dutch.
NECA @NECA_TOYS
@FigureShowplace potential sure but unlikely as none are as popular as Arnold & each figure would req all new sculpt/tooling too $$

hmm, blaine is not as big as arnold (muscle wise) so he'd need a new sculpt. Dillon on the other hand is pretty muscular, sure hes head can fit parts from the arnie sculpt?
anyone noticed this has more attention than the reese figure lol
Quote from: 9th_Stew on Jul 20, 2012, 06:45:48 PM

Because the Reese sculpt looks NOTHING like Michael Biehn.
These new Arnies look fantastic! Really glad were getting multiple variants aswell, Military Gear is the one i'm most excited for. However his head sculpt does look abit off, like others mentioned his jaw looks like it's been dislocated. Really excited to see the new variants NECA has planned aswell and hopefully his other squadmates. Would love a Mac, Hawkins, Blaine and (Even though I hate him.)Dillon. Would make for a great display.
I know what Kyle Reese looks like. And NECA's turd is not it.
it is pretty bad considering the detail of the other sculpts.

I think it's because they have liscencing of Carl Weathers but only from Rocky. I don't really know, copyright and liscencing makes shit sense sometimes.

He is taller, maybe just not the same scale as the film however. Most 6 inch figures from other lines I have compared are a bit shorter than the Predators line which is awesome when you put them up against a Batman from Dark Knight Rises for instance. So These 2 Dutch figures will be close to scale IMO.

Most 6 inch figures from other lines I have compared are a bit shorter than the Predators line which is awesome when you put them up against a Batman from Dark Knight Rises for instance. So These 2 Dutch figures will be close to scale IMO.
And dont forget that the cloaked P1 has the old articulation. The P1 with new articulation (series 8 ) will be taller 8)
ah right :)
These look awesome; how much do they usually run?
I hope they'll release the mud camouflaged Dutch in 1/4 scale. It would be a must buy for me.

Yes, there are figures of "Ripley"...but only of the character.
Weaver will not sign off on her likeness rights, so none of the figures we've seen actually look like her.
NECA has stated that if they can't secure Weaver's likeness rights, they don't want to do a Ripley because it couldn't actually look like her.
Packaged and ready to go!

Looking good. I really like the translucent skin tone plastic they are using, the figures look really nice.
I feel like NECA is fraying away a bit from collectibles and more into poseable figures (well, obviously)
I mean, not only has the range of articulation changed, but paint appliction is a bit more....sloppy?
I don't know, I feel like they're using more glossy finishes, rather than matted. I don't know. I'll have to compare this Dutch figure to the Terminator figures when I see it in person.
Anyone know exactly when it will be available in stores?

the next set to be released, i want the jungle disguise dutch :D
Really don't ant another Jungle Hunter but the water cloaking one looks too cool to pass up.
The only figure that is worth the Predator ...
I really like the water damage Pred. Can't wait for these 2 Dutch figures to hit the shelves
Ok NECA, you are well known for releasing two versions of popular figures with only slight variations, but Dutch with shirt under vest, and Dutch without shirt under vest? ::)
Still love 'em, but ya, I'll only getting one of them, thanks.

NECA is a bit nasty with things like that. The only way to get the marines with helmets on is to buy them in a god damn 2 pack. It pisses me off.

Unfortunately, yes, the Colonial Marines fall into this category as well. It is basic business for them and I can't blame them for it, but when I stop and think about it they do prey on our love for these things. Before you know you it you've paid full price for a new plastic head the size of a quarter.
I may need to stage my own intervention. :(

I've been toying with the idea of switching the two Arnold heads, since he smokes the cigar after they destroy the guerilla camp, and he's in the Jungle Patrol outfit.

I checked one of my local TRU (my town is located between two) and they didn't have any in stock. I'll check the one in Boca tonight after work. I did notice they put some older Predator stock on the shelves though, like the last of their Jungle/City Hunter two packs and a few of the camouflaged Falconer Predators. That usually means they have or are expecting newer stuff from the line.
I wont be seeing any of the new Prometheus stuff for a while though, the shelves are packed with series one engineers and the trilobite pack.

Masked Engineer or unmasked? I'm debating going on a hunt for one or two more masked Engineers.
I saw plenty of both and the 2-pack filled at my Toys R Us.
series 8 dutch and masked p1 now in stock at amoktime.com, mine shipped today.
dutch is in my house, thanks kyle windrix for such a great sculpt! love these figures!
They're gonna be shipping this week according to Facebook. I'm gonna go hunting for one this weekend
Forgive my ignorance but I was hoping someone might be able to say whether Dutch was going to be the only human figure from the Predator movies, or whether they had plans to expand and do more? I know we've got several more Dutch figures coming but I was really hoping that they'd do the full team (eventually).

i bet we are pretty much garanteed to not see any of the other characters beside dutch. such is the sucky reality of companies and business, and the fact (that i hate) that humans sell alot worse than the creatures
I think the most we would see is Dillon seeing as how Neca all ready has his likeness. Like Shadow said though there's a slim chance we'll see any others. Aliens and creatures sell better on smaller scales. In 1:6 scale Hot Toys only released 2 members of the team, Dutch and Billy. They sold well but not as well as the Predator itself
Likeness rights work Per Character Per Film. They can only do the character and film they have rights for. Example: just b/c they have Carl Weathers from Rocky, they can't make Dillon, they can't make Chips from Happy Gilmore, probably can't even make him from Rocky in different clothes!
Though at least we know the avenue for discussion and purchasing those rights is open, since Carl Wethers has been approached in the past, and the rights were attained.
That is a possibility.
I dont see how customizing a Dillon is out of the question, the most difficult thing would be his hat and the upper half of his uniform. An MP5 shouldnt' be that hard to come by, but I've only just started customizing 7 inch figures so I could be talking out of my ass.
I stumbled upon this page on Toynewsi which apparently contains a statement from NECA regarding the others in Dutch's team:
http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=139&itemid=20030 (http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=139&itemid=20030)
"Unlikely, no talent rights are included. We'd have to go to each guy individually like we did for Arnold."
"Also Dutch gave us several variations & tooling re-use. Others won't & therefore not cost effective to pursue"
So... yeah... bit disappointed with this one. I guess the ray of hope is that the Colonial Marines line sells really well and that they re-evaluate the whole thing.
I'm not sure why they don't just do limited runs of the human figures, make them exclusives for online retailers. Then it'll be cost effective.
Exclusive two packs of say Billy and the Predator or of Vasquez and Drake would sell out quickly, or at least I would think so
Maybe if the trophy wall does well, they'll consider an online route for these. Though the trophy wall obviously doesn't require licensing fees, it is (or at least appears at this point to be) an online-only item.

Rumor suggested NECA is now discussing the licensing of Vasquez and we may have her as our marine soon
Limited runs and online only make even less money.
The less quantity the factory makes,the more it costs to make.
The less people see it or have access to it, the lower the sells.
Larger production runs and in stores for easy access.
Think that collectible shit works any different then come explain my Matty Ghostbusters collection!
Don't worry, NECA gets it. That's why they're still here, still improving, getting better by the release!
amazon.co.uk dont have them yet :(
Online exclusive is a way to boost sale, especially for the predators which share the same mole and need just a little different accessories. Like the jap doing online exclusive on their gundam plastic models, limited production means no over supply(as items produced only after receiving confirmed order) and with the markup price, NECA won't suffer while only the new comer(like me), find it hard to recollect the past released for the bones and have to pay high price for that.
Face it, people like the word (limited edition)
This morning I have received my Jungle Patrol Dutch!

This is key. The way I was reading the conversation when I posted was that some people were expressing their idea of having characters like Vasquez, Drake, & Billy being limited runs and/or internet exclusives. All three characters would require 100% new tooling and have little to no mold re-use. Billy's big all the way around, Vasquez is a tiny sleeveless big boobed smart gun armour wearing female, and Drake is a medium sized smart gun armour wearing male. These characters would have to be in stores and mass produced is all I meant, the predators are all 100% re-use at this point w/ little tiny skull and other trinkets added. They do make sense to do online only and convention exclusives-that's why NECA does them. I wasn't saying the Limited Editions, Online Only, and Convention Exclusives don't make business sense - just certain characters at this point.
but yeah I agree w/ your post 100%, it's just the difference of which characters you make as limited editions. People who want characters that aren't as popular or that NECA doesn't have faith in selling enough won't happen by limited runs and internet only ect.. They'd loose even more money.
k, back to Dutch!

They molded it specifically for holding his M16, so it looks great when holding it with both hands, but when he's only using the one it looks odd, to say the least. It kinda makes me wish they'd given him an alternate hand of some sort. Maybe a fist or a hand to hold the knife.
No Dutch's in my area yet :-\
Same here. Zippo. Just lots of Falconers and Big Reds. I was gonna order both Dutch figures off NECA's Ebay store, but by the time I put the money on my debit they were sold out. Fingers crossed TRU stocks them up(soon).
^ Same situation at mine. They pulled all their extra jungle hunter/city hunter two packs off the shelves though.
I am in Hong Kong and the TRU here never import these product lines. Luckily there are still stores selling these, I already the series 8 and 9 and the colonial marine set. Know why the berserker +city hunter set that expensive while compare with the other predator 2 packs? Is it difficult to obtain that pack in the states too?

Do you guys think Dutch's weapons are a bit off scale? What I mean is the weapons are a bit too small, look at the grenades and the desert eagle, how strange they are while compare to Arnie's palm.

They are abit undersized, yes.
Any ideas we can get more accurate weapons for Dutch? I bought the Mcfarlane's Al Simmons and the 1911A1 is perfect for him. The M16 on that pack also looks better. I am waiting for Rambo 2 , the M60e3 that Arnie can use as in Commando ( I am sure NECA will do that as Rambo's M60 is already quite good). Any loose weapons we can by for these 1:8 figures? Any online shops provide good ones?
Checked my Toys R Us for them. Seems all Pred figs and Prometheus have been moved to a back wall or to a clearance end cap with no sign of Dutch. Don't think they'll be getting these anymore. Don't know why, they're selling well enough so who knows whats the game plan here...

I'd recommend the M16 that the Scarface figure includes for Dutch. Ironically, the same prop was used in Scarface and Predator.

Same here, no Predator figures to be found at my local TRU. The one that's a ways drive from me I haven't been too in awhile, but last time I was there they were stocked full of Big Red and Falconer Preds. Need to check there for Dutch and gang.
Likewise, my local TRU doesn't seem to have shelf space for the Predator figs, and they were down to just a few of the Prometheus 2-packs. Hopefully the other 2 TRU's that are a ways have Dutch (plus Big Red, actually...)
TRU website doesn't show anything yet either...

So some places have them now? I know I can purchase them on eBay but I know I can get them cheaper at TRU. Any other stores that would carry NECA figures?
Check your local comic shop ;)
If I only had a "local" comic shop. Not that TRU isn't 20 mins away, but the couple comic stores I can think of around me just sell comics. Guess I'll have to snoop around a bit. I can't wait for Spring/Summer time, get out to some flee markets/garage sales. Even if I don't find anything relative to my interests, I love checking them out anyways.

i'm getting ever dutch neca makes,cause it was such a long wait for a dutch figure to ever be made.
I agree with you ;)
Hey Guys- has anyone seen these in the wild at Toysrus? I am fearing the same that everyone else has been seeing, the other day i saw 2 cloaking falconers and a ton of prometheus 2 packs- when i found my david 8 he was no where near the others just on a shelf... are they phasing them out? hope not
toysrus mite be leaving these in the stock room, until they clear out all the other neca figures they have on the shelves. only they know.
picked up the wave today at a local toy and collectibles show- got a great deal on the series plus deacon- can't wait to get these guys out
A friend of mine is hooking me up with the wave, super excited. In the meantime, I picked up a load of stuff off TRU's website, including the Predator 2-pack. Jungle Hunter is great, can't wait to have him facing off against Dutch!

Yikes, I really envy you guys that've found them in the wild thusfar. I spent my weekend hitting up every single place in the greater PDX area looking for Jungle Extraction Dutch ...three TRU's, the trio of TFAWs, and a local indie comic shop. Not a single place even had a slot for the NECA preds, let alone either Dutch figure.
Kind of a buzz kill since I recall not more than a month ago my nearest comic shop was flooded with the last 2 series of Pred figures.
Guess I'll just have to snag Big Red and the 2-Pack off of TRU's site to hold me over.
*edit*
Just wanted to add that I did ask about possible stock in the back @ each TRU, and they all said the same "we have everything we have in stock represented on shelf right now. If it's on the shelf, it's all we have in the back".
I'm also seeing a few online stores (BBTS, Toywiz, AmokTime) listing the series 8 figures as Pre-Orders. Maybe there was a shipping delay? One of the clerks at TFAW mentioned they've actually been waiting for the new line to be delivered, but he didn't know which series it was they were expecting.

I checked my TRU again on Saturday, it looked like they restocked that morning. All I found was City Hunter, 4 Big Reds and a shit load of Falconers. So I'm guessing they still have a bunch of those left in stock and want to sell them off first. Hopefully within the next week or two Dutch will start showing up at TRU.
Yeah, thats what I'm hoping. I just noticed the NECA storefront on amazon finally put the Series 8 figures up, tempted to just get the whole set.
Weekend wasn't a complete loss though, picked up the Prometheus 2-pack & a Pressure Suit Eng, plus the TF2 Demo-man, Dream Master Freddy, and Grayson Hunt from Bulletstorm. Literally did not see a single Big Red or Falconer (or cloaked Jungle Hunter), which is odd considering everyone else's store seems to be loaded with em. Still, epic sales at TRU could not be passed up just the same.
I'm just hoping at this point that the stores around here actually get series 8 before 9 rolls out later this spring.

Thanks. Looks like I'll be ordering a Dutch.
Here in Hong Kong I got them pre-ordered at $350hkd(around$45USD) and got them at early March. I just kept the jungle extraction Dutch and sold the remaining 2 to my friend at $ 240hkd, (as i ordered series 9 already and wanna keep those all),which means I only got Dutch at $13.75usd.Living in hong long is lucky in this way isn't it?
TFAW.com just posted the series 8 figures today, in-stock (not pre-order), so they should be arriving @ local Things From Another Stores in the PDX/Vancouver area by next week. They also do free ship-to-store, which is great for folks in the area.
FINALLY! Just picked up the whole series 8 from TFAW, though I nearly didn't get them at all. Called ahead and joked with the guy on the phone about someone "buying up 5 of each" to clear them out before I got there, but he set the 3 aside for me just the same.
Lucky for me, since when I got there I noticed the rack where they all obviously were supposed to be just had one Jungle Extraction Dutch leftover. Apparently ONE GUY came in not 10 minutes before I arrived and bought the rest up.
These figures are pretty awesome! I did a showcase of the Jungle Extraction Dutch and if you're interested, you can click the photo below for a link to more photos! :)

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you liked the photos. :)
I saw the new Predator figures in person today, and I'm not gonna lie, the Dutch figures ARE pretty cool. Not cool enough to convince me to buy them, but still very well done. :)

Think I'm gonna pick up extraction Dutch and mud covered Dutch. Also I hear the exclusive this year might be thermal vison Dutch which might actually be worth it.
Just so everyone knows, Toys R Us has a 20% off coupon this week than can be used on the figures so get em while the sale last! Tell em Sexy Poot sent ya!

They wont have any idea who that is.
Oh shit, thanks for the heads-up on the coupon!
No problem my man. Glad I could be of service!
I picked up Jungle Patrol and Extraction Dutch this weekend, so they are out in the wild for any one near Texas. I saw 2 of the masked jungle hunter but didnt' pick it up since I have 3 classic predators already. The dutch figures are amazing for any one wondering/asking.
Just picked up my series 8 and happy as F***!!!! ;D ;D ;D best series yet. Cant wait for series 9 prob not ganna get that other jungle hunter tho but Dutch FTW
If anyone is interested, I did a showcase for the Jungle Patrol Dutch on my website. Just click the photo for more. Amazing figures they are!

If I remember correctly NECA did say there was a chance we'd get them if the 7 incher sold well. So I think that question answers itself. Also, love your signature!

You'd regret not buying more of the Preds once you had Dutch in hand. I was iffy at first about them, but once I got one in hand I was in love. Trust me, they're worth it.
Just got my Series 8 yesterday at TRU. You'll appreciate this.
-Called 2 days earlier to ask if they had them. Guy told me just the 2 Dutch versions. Slight sad face
-Went in yesterday with my gf. Found them in their usual spot. Grabbed one of each.
-Looked around the same aisle for shits n giggles. Lol @ last helmet-less Engineer figure and a half dozen Trilobyte 2 packs.
-Notice something under the shelf where the Pred figures were. Looks like the side of a fallen Dutch.
-It's the new Predator Jungle Hunter Figure.
...
Well, I don't know who put him there but I know who took him home and got a complete set of Series 8 for just under $50. Used a B Day gift card so I only forked up $25 of my own money. I do like these figures. My only comment is since their all to same 7 inch scale, Dutch is the same height as the Predator. Oh well. A little distance when looking at them does wonders to one's perception!
Dutch is no where near as tall as the Predator. Are you a MOC collector? If you take them out and stand them up they are two totally different heights.

True indeed :D
Picked up Dutch with the 20% coupon. Got him for around $13. He's so small in comparison to the Predator! I know it's like that in the movie but damn, he's a dweeb compared to him!
yeah, we're not houndin' ya PRJ!
You may have the pred's legs bent at the knee and arnold's more straight or just lookin' at them MOC.

Dutch looks a little concerned in that pic. Like he's saying, "What? Is...is there something behind me?"
Arnie's Dutch make the whole set lively. So please make more human figures and continue the set. Hope NECA can see this.
PS: please adjuct the scale of the weapons, see how poor Arnie has to use those miniature grenades and the downsizing desert eagle pistol? Really ashame of them ruining the excellent Dutch figure.
I hope they make the rest of the rescue team, especially Billy and Dillon.
Dillon was pretty easy, neca have a good Wheathers likeness.
But for futher figures it would be better when Neca hide the hipjoints more. It looks so unnatural, toylike.
You know on a second look, he is to scale. I guess the way I had him on the shelf he looked the same height. What was my comment about perception? Lol
What you mean ?

It looks like Dutch stumbled into a Predator break dancing competition hosted by Big Red.
Funny u say that as it's exactly what I was going for in my display :laugh:
Ok, I just bought a Merle Dixon walking dead figure and found the scale of his weapons the same as Dutch's rifle. So NECA , would you please give the moong figures on-scale weapons? Merle is a 5" figure scale and Arnie deserve some better weapons, see the trigger guard of the grenade launcher? It's a disaster! It really ruins the excellent Dutch figure. I have to say Mcfarlane's firearms is far better than NECA's
^ You could always pick up an old Mcfarlane Military figure and swap out the weapons if its that much of an issue. They can run pretty cheap on ebay

What's wrong with the trigger guard of the grenade launcher? Besides being too small I don't see anything wrong with the sculpt.
You'll see the differences in quality when comparing Dutch's SP1 and Mcfarlane's Alsimmon's M16A1, the grenade launcher part and the mag part of Mcfarlane's are on scale and accurate. And I am in Hong Kong, so the postage from the States to Hong Kong is also killing me.
Anyway, swapping weapons is a kind of fun and I should not complaint too much about it, Dutch is now using Rambo's M60 and will soon using T800 's M134 as well
Picked up Dutch figure today. Incredible likeness to Arnie

There seems to be no stopping NECA's popular Predator series, the line getting ready to see its ninth assortment next month. Predator Series 9, releasing in June, features Jungle Disguise Dutch, Jungle Encounter Dutch, and Water Emergence Predator. Fans that can't get enough of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Dutch Schaefer will be pleased to know that two additional 7-inch Dutch figures are in the works (I'm sworn to secrecy, but I saw both in the studio) and that a quarter scale Dutch is planned for release either later this year, early 2014.

If that vest is removable and allows us a shirtless Dutch, then what could the next two variations of Dutch be? We pretty much have him in every costume change in the movie.
The only thing that springs to mind is "Briefing Dutch" with the red shirt and possible sunglasses and hat, or, following in the NECA tradition they release a shirtless Dutch because Series 9 Dutch's vest is glued to him and doesn't allow you to take it off. :P

No, it dont like Arnies mouth.
The mouth expression, especially the lips are looking artificial, not realistic(I mean the Jungle Patrol Dutch).
Compare this with the SDCC prototyp, the other Arnie sculpts from Neca or Arnie Sculpts from other companys.
Could be Dutch from during the final battle, with muddy pants, wet muddy hair, shirtless, blood on mouth, ect. That would be cool, call it the Kill Me Now Dutch haha
So I just got the extraction one, not the patrol one, as I found the patrol one more of less the same as the encounter one(minus the sweater)
Neca is trying to make a Dillon figure ;D
From twitter:
NECA: @TheCarlWeathers heard you like our Apollo figure, can we discuss producing a Dillon figure from Predator w/ you?
NECA: Those of you who follow closely will note that yes, we tweeted to @TheCarlWeathers this morning. We want to try to make Dillon happen.
and a Blain Cooper :o
Q: I wish you could do Jesse Ventura too.
A: Us too, we're going to ask

With all the predators they release and the Alien's they'll probably release we'll need a lot of human figures to protect our shelves. Hopefully this happens.

OMFG.
I hate NECA. Taking my damn money all the time.
The only way they'd get any more awesome is if they get a billy figure with a massive knife, no shirt and a cut on his chest
I think it would be funny to see Billy from the beginning arrival scene, where he is wearing that cool 80's jogging suit
wow, this really made me happy to hear. Dillon and Blain on top of Dutch really gives the best characters to the line right away.
And Mac ;)

i'm thankfull for any character we can get beside Dutch tbh. and the more the better
I read from twitter that Carl Weathers just allow NECA to make a Dillon Figure with his facial likeliness approval! Great! NECA and We the fans make that happen !!
So two variants of Dillon. With and without arm ;)
Carl Weathers is totally down for a figure! BE PEACE!

Jesse Ventura is kinda crazy. He better not be a tight ***.
Here are three reviews of the new wave:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQFhBdJY044#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQFhBdJY044#ws)
I really surprise about the paintjob of the muded Dutch, especially the eyes. I hope the marines and all further Neca figures(Predators, please the 19" Elder) have this texture. It looks so realistic. The ony think that is not so good is the facesculpt. The jaw is a way to wide and the nosetip is not long enough. Compare this with the other Neca Dutch figures and pics of Schwarzeneggers face(Neca must inprove this fpr a big Dutch figure).
It would be cool if Neca sells over her Neca direct system a Base for Dutch. At the Comic Con 2010 you sea a base for the hakf cloaked Berserker Predator

Definitely getting muddy Dutch to go alongside my Jungle Patrol Dutch. The only 2 variants anyone needs. The rest are pocket fillers for NECAs greedy hands.

I like the one with the cigar :)
It's the best dutch-face out there
You're right. If the cigar face was on Jungle Patrol Dutch, it'd be the best version to get.
Really hope NECA doesn't read these. I don't want to give them variant ideas.
switch the heads.
Than do what with the body?
put the patrol head on it, the cigar head on the patrol body.

I say "jungle extraction Dillon" him with shirt and a "last stand Dillon" shirtless with vest dual mp5 with removable arm or make a seperate comic con exclusive with him with his arm actually gone to get that full detail. 8)
series 9 is just simply fantastic, got mine today, now if aliens series 1 will hurry and ship.

Or just add additional "missing" arm. Dual MP5 scorpion and changable arm. It`s in the realm of possibility.
Man, I really wanted to get the new Dutch and Pred figures, but I'm becoming super tight with money and those new Pacific Rim figures! GAH!

Indeed maybe like how they did the interchangeable arm with the evil dead ash figure.
Yes that would be great.
One normal, full cloathed Dillon and one Dillon with only his vest, the two guns anda interchangable arm(but not so silly like the 2-Pack BD City Hunter).
Just got series 9, awesome but not as good as the colonial marines. The likeness is a bit off, but still very good(especially the mud Dutch).
For all form, personally I like the one with cigar best.
I swap the heads of this two figs, looks incredibly amazing!

Picked mine up at Amok Time. Love the Mud Dutch! Shirtless Dutch is nice but not as good as Jungle Patrol Dutch in my opinion. Something about the face sculpt is meh and too similar to the other one. Would have preferred a "Get to the choppa," sculpt!

Do the same as me. Jungle Patrol and Mud covered.
My Jungle extraction Dutch looks pretty naked without the rest of his team - i do hope they make more of the team.. maybe a two pack or something.
Yeah I do like the looks of him, i might need to look deeper
The good news is Dillon(Carl Weathers) is coming and at least Dutch would have a comrade to fight along with.

there is some i forgot
Dutch figure is just perfect. I got Jungle Patrol and Extraction and I love them.
So did NECA confirm we´re getting a Dillon? I though they clearly said there was not backup team for Dutch.
Dillon is a sure to come, cos Carl Weathers personally allowed NECA to make the fig of him on twitter.
At that timeI am one of the guys talking with Carl about that matter too ^_^

wheres red blue orange?
It looks so bright and loud! :D
Not accurate though... I guess they used those colours to make him pop out more in a dark environment / background to allow for better pred vision diorama possibilities? Dark blue dark red and orange would look dull. I never really planned on getting a thermal vision Dutch anyway so w/e.
I just want a damn briefing Dutch with changable head with hat and shades or without, both have cogar, he has a lighter accessory also that can arm wrestle with Dillon.
But the final battle Dutch is awesome, I'll buy that

Then squeals.
What Neca shown this year at the Comic Con is disappointing. Last year Dutch and Hudson, this year silly versions.
No AVP, no Alien Queen, no more true Marines and no Rescue Team members.
It can be saved. All we need is someone who is good at paint customs to add in the right colours in a few areas and it could be good.
Q: Any hope (& I apologize if u have been asked this a lot) for the entire team from the first Predator movie?
A: don't have the rights to any of them. Have to make sep deals & it's expensive & time consuming. Trying for 2 more at most
So NECA just said apart from Dillon, only two more team member could be made, who will you choose?

Apart from Dillon? Maybe NECA has said this somewhere else, but it's not there in the current quote. Isn't it more probable that Dillon is one of the two, since he's not yet been 'secured'?
Personally, I'd love to see Billy the most, but I think I'd be enormously pleased with any of the team.
Dillon and Blain if i had to choose 2 guys - however billy and dillon has more costume changes.
Well no, Dillon is not counted as the "two more" as Carl Weathers himself allowed NECA to process to Dillon already.
Two more means another two more as far as I read from Randy on Twitter.
Certainly the more the better isn't it?

Well I'm not an expert on these sorts of things but I would assume that obtaining his likeness rights for a fairly average quality figure with glasses on during his wrestling days (which was quite a while ago) would be a bit different to another company getting the rights to a character he played in a movie.
Would it? I am not actually sure about it to be honest I'm just taking a guess
I hope it wouldn't be hard. Who wouldn't want a figure of him with the mini-gun and tobacco spitting exploding chest action
While I would love to have the whole team, I would be happy with Dutch, Dillon and Blaine.

Same here.
From twitter:
packaging back for Dutch vs Jungle Hunter: Final Battle TRU 2 pack Exclusive, coming late October

Q: Is it going to come with a rock and tree accessories as pictured?
A: No, u can grab from your yard like we did :)
Q:heh, I asked the same thing. Hasbro packed in a log once and it turned into a big joke
A: Funny, several people have asked that. There will be one unique accessory in the set. Care to guess?
Q: Will it be a Predator Bio-mask? After all he removes his mask and throws it away before the fight.
A: Brilliant deduction nice one!!
8)
And some BAD news:
Q: Any word on the other commandos from Predator?
A: Carl Weathers passed and Jesse has not replied so probably will not happen
Q: What about Billy and Poncho?
A: didn't approach or attempt
:'(
Carl Weathers passed? Didnt he say he was all for it??? Not like the dudes doing much these days. What a dingus!
So the pred will have a detachable mask,if so im buying it otherwise ill pass as usual.

Most likely not removable, since that'd be hard to do with the mandibles. It'd be interesting if NECA did something similar to Hot Toys where the mandibles can be removed and replaced with a mask. Though I doubt that's the case here, probably just a mask that lays on your shelf.
Yeah i think its just a mask with a flat back. I GUESS u could make customs with it.
Interesting that weathers "passed" on a dillon figure. Im thinking its a "read between the lines" scenario and neca didnt wanna pay him what he wanted for the likeness.

Its gotta be. Hes not really doing anything so I'm sure he needs the money.
I am sure Carl said he allowed the greenlight that NECA can produce the Dillon figure. Anyway, business decision is business decision
But I will still try my best to tweet Carl weathers if the figure can be made
What i dont understand is why Carl Weathers allowed the Apollo figure from Rocky, but not Dillon from Predator? ???
UPDATE:
from twitter:
Q: so Carl weathers declined the making of Dillon? He agreed at first!
A: he never agreed. He said "Be Peace" which is his standard tweet
Q: Didn't he give his likeness for the Rocky line?
A: didn't have any day on Rocky was included in license. Every contract & movie is different
Q: why do actors pass on things like this?
A: no idea, personal choice. Very few care about toys/figures.
:P
Well that sucks. :(

You answered your own question with the quotes from Twitter....he didn't have any say about Apollo as it was included in the Rocky licence.
Well shit, I'm going to still hold out hope for a King Willie action figure with sound bites...
"You don't see they eyes of the demon...until him come callin'..."
Carl weathers said to me personally that he still allow Neca to make the Dillon figure!
I will contact NECA and try my best to let this happen

yeah he probably means that he has terms and it's up to them if they want to agree to it or not.
It seems that neca isn't judging by their comments on the subject recently
What the hell does "Be Peace" mean?
I suspect that NECA have blown quite a bit of their budget on obtaining the Predator and Aliens licenses, and so negotiating additional fees for actor likenesses is a remote possibility unless the actor isn't asking for anything.
On this line, I doubt we'll get a Bishop figure next year and the likelihood of Tom Skeritt and John Hurt figures seems a bit pie in the sky if Al Matthews and Carl Weathers have "passed".

Dallas and Bishop are happening, its a known fact in the NECA Aliens thread.
To my recollection, neither have been officially announced anywhere yet.

NECA have said BOTH are definitley coming via twitter
Randy Falk, head of NECA product development, has confirmed it multiple times. Anyone who comes to these forums for info and conversation should really try going over to twitter.com/NECA_TOYS and reading the amazing DAILY updates and tweets from the main man himself. Just today he said they've got COMIC BOOK Predators PLANNED for 2014.
Everyone with tweeter account, please treat randy and tell him that Carl Weathers is willing to cooperate with NECA on the Dillon figure issue. MECA seems passive in this matter. So everyone's saying is a support, thank you.

Every single day people ask Randy about Carl Weathers.
This is the answer today:
We asked him first, then dealt with a representative of his, who declined the offer. No more to say
Carl is on holiday, may be his representative didn't know Carl himself is ok with the likeness and thus decline the offer. Carl himself said today he is willing to negotiate , and not a decline
I have a different question to ask, NECA said they didn't bother approach or attempt to ask Billy or Poncho/Sonny and Richard for their likenesses.Should I take that to mean it's impossible so they didn't bother or that they didn't ask then but they might in the future?

From twitter:
Q: can I get a shot of the mask that comes with this 2 pack?
A: don't have it shot alone exactly - same mask on Series 8 Jungle Hunter just removed from face, he can't wear it but can hold
Q: you know what can this mask leads to? - Predator Bio Mask wall :D
A: certainly possible and we can design some pretty cool masks ourselves cough - Armored Lost - cough. Done patting self on back

Must buy NOW!!!
Oh tribal, quoting from my tweets to Neca :D

So with this statement there´s almost no chance to see the entire commando team from the first Predator. Well, at least Neca could now try hard to get likenesses license to do Vasquez, Drake and Apone.
Id love to see a Danny Glover figure as Harrigan complete with pistol, shotgun and geared up for the slaughter house scene
Yeah, with combat armor and stuff :D
Maybe I missed it, but did anyone reach out to Glover for a statement on whether he's interested on having a sculpt made of him from NECA?
it isn't if Glover wants to do it or not, bith he/his reps and Neca need to come to an agreement on how much it'll cost for his likeness
IIRC NECA many times said they don`t want to make Harrigan. They believe he was a misscast ::)
But they said similar about AvP preds, so...
Reading through this thread, I'm rather confused about the status of a potential Dillon figure....
People want him to happen, but there is (from an honest standpoint, not what I hope for) no chance of him being made unless Neca really wanted him that badly which they clearly dont care that much for him.
That's a damn shame.

Yeah....well someone in the thread kept bringing up how Weathers really wanted to do it or already okayed it or something along those lines, like there was insider information about the situation.
Either way, I hope it could happen eventually. Heck, really I SO wish we could see every member of Dutch's team made - fat chance of that I suppose but that would be incredible. Plus throw in an Anna figure for good measure.

Well no, Dillon is not counted as the "two more" as Carl Weathers himself allowed NECA to process to Dillon already.
I dont think so...
From twitter:
Q: any new info on other members of the PREDATOR team? carl Weathers seemed really up for it!
A: he did? Funny, haven't heard back from him since. These things never happen quickly.
And that`s NECA`s inside reaction. In other words, no. No Dillon`s figure for now.
I'd rather have Billy, or Mac or Blain than Dillon anyhow.
That said, I think those characters have next to no chance of being made before more predators.... of any kind. I think Dutch (and all his variants) was a one-off.
Ironically, the biggest action star of the film gives the rights out, but the lesser folk (by comparison to Schwartzeneggar) get left behind? Geez, you'd think they'd want the money. I know that they're not the only party involved, but I can't fathom why any actor or agent or film studio wouldn't want the opportunity to not only immortalize a known character into toy form but also get money to do so. Sad part is, no agreement means no one gets any money and no collectors get the privilege of having that character.

That's probably exactly why it didn't happen. They wanted money too much and saw an opportunity to take advantage of an opportunity. Arnold doesn't need Neca's money, he's already got plenty of his own. Neca probably called him up and he's like "argh yeah ok just do it whatever, where's my case of $20k cigars?"
