Yesterday, NECA announced their upcoming Predator Series 17. It continues the recent theme of figures from Paul Anderson’s Alien vs. Predator but Series 17 also brings us something brand new, NECA’s first figure taken from Rebellion’s Aliens vs. Predator (2010):
“NECA’s longest running action figure line continues! Series 17 features even more action figure debuts from the Alien vs. Predator movie and video game.
The assortment includes Youngblood and Elder from the 2004 movie, and Serpent Hunter from the 2010 video game. Elder Predator wears a regal soft goods cape with real chain and comes with a removable mask and staff accessory. Youngblood Predator features dual wrist blades and comes with a staff with impaled Xenomorph head. The frequently requested Serpent Hunter Predator (also known as Alien Head Predator) features a unique, Xenomorph-inspired bio mask, dual extendable wrist blades, and sword and shuriken accessories. We’ve paid close attention to detail to make these as accurate to the movie and game as possible.
Each stands 8.25” tall and has over 30 points of articulation. As an added bonus, Elder and Youngblood’s hands and blades are removable and compatible with other AvP Predators. Blister card packaging.”

Predicting that Series 18 (which NECA has said will be comic themed) will be Dachande (which was already teased), Machiko, and Top Knot.
However, will they skip the specimen 6 character because of that?
so sexy
Also, that skull throne will apparently be available to buy in "spring 2017".

I doubt it. The main reason they're doing the Predators is because they can reuse at least 80% of the elements from their AVP sculpts. An AVP (2010) Alien would require a whole new sculpt, which they probably wouldn't devote to something that niche.
