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!

Yeah, no thanks lol.
Thankfully I got no interest on this one. I will wait for Wolf Ultimate.
BBTS just listed their preorder, it's $50.
You're paying for scale and detail. That's literally it. Having the queen alien figure, her digitigrade feet cause problems for her standing up (in addition to her crested head). This guy is going to fall over all the time. I'm not paying $60 for something that comes with barely any accessories and tries to face plant off of my desk, he's also too large scale to use for fodder.
Hard pass for me, personally.
He's certainly no Ultimate Wolf Predator.
This guy doesn't look like he comes with enough to justify being $60, that's the same cost as the Bad Blood two pack.
The price does hurt a bit, if they're going that rout, they better be careful about QC.
I came so very close to snagging this one, but I just couldn't. Maybe if he gets clearanced I might pick him up. It's neat, but it doesn't fit anywhere and I'm not too hot on the film despite liking this Predator.
Nice one Hicks! I've yet to get one.
That would be amazing lol. I mean... I'm not sure about sound but lights certainly isn't out of the question. Their Issac Clarke figures had leds in the head. I think there's a Gypsy Danger figure with lights in the chest as well. There's always a possibility.

He's as kenner as is possible.
Predator?
That sounds right? I did forget about him (whoops).
It's cool Elder from Predator 2 is getting a figure for his younger self in comic book appearance (Golden Angel).
Depending on how his mask fits with the armor is another thing, but I'm probably going to end up with at least two of him. He'll look right at home with the "future hunters" I've been slowly putting together.
Edit Golden Angel deluxe is also the next Predator to come out I just remembered. I think he's supposed to be out before spring?
I think his sculpt looks fantastic but the sad reality is that the sculpt will be severely limited in the articulation department. I also don't really like the gimmicky projectile action...it's great homage to Kenner but way too cheesy for my tastes. I think the COOLEST part is the head sculpt. Because it's like a cyborg predator.
I know at least Lasershot (kenner inspired) is coming soon. I would HOPE we FINALLY get Wolf sometime soon.
Besides Ripley, what are all the figures there?
That is awesome. Where did you get that cryo pod?!
My God...Sabres...you are AMAZING!
Fantastic!
