NECA has just announced their latest figure based on The Predator! The Fugitive is already in stores in the States and we’ve seen prototypes of the Assassin (the Upgrade) and now we’ve got a look and a release date for their Emissary figure!
From the new Predator movie directed by Shane Black! Although their scenes were deleted from the final cut of the movie, the Emissary Predators were military Predators who fought alongside the Loonies.
Emissary #1 stands over 8” tall and features 30 points of articulation. Includes interchangeable masked and unmasked heads, 2 pairs of hands, and rifle accessory. Comes in collector-friendly deluxe window box packaging with opening flap.
Judging by the purple colouration, this Emissary is actually based on the one portrayed by Brian A. Prince. Kyle Straut’s Emissary had a more green/blue colouration. With how NECA have called this Emissary #1, it’s possible we’ll be seeing a second Emissary with Kyle’s colouration. NECA’s Emissary Predator #1 figure is expected to hit stores in early November 2018!
Alien vs. Predator Galaxy recently had the opportunity to talk to both Brian and Kyle about their time on The Predator. They also spoke about the Emissary Predators. Be sure to give that interview a listen!

Is this exclusive to this website or something? I remember them hinting that it would not have a traditional release...
I fundamentally disagree with 80% of the choices in the film, yet still had a decent time.
The cloaking balls I felt could have been another concept left out. I don't like seeing a Predator camouflaged without its helmet, it just seems...….wrong.
Looks like they are planning on doing both.
But wouldn't they have no need for any translating by the time Rory shows up?
Was it stated at any point how long they were meant to have been here for? And how did the movie introduce them? The only thing I've ever heard is that they showed up during the cut APC chase sequence, but under what circumstances?
Emissary: "So yeah, I may have access to sophisticated light-bending camouflage and plasma caster weaponry, but I'm a gonna wear these cammo pants and use this primitive earth weapon instead.
They also did say "TBD" when someone asked about a PK figure. I figure that one would take longer since it would require a brand new sculpt and tooling.
I'm still waiting from the ones from AVP2, they had some really cool designs in the game, but at least they made m'boy Scarface.
