The latest Predator figure from NECA is out in stores – a Thermal Vision Fugitive Predator based on the titular creature from 2018’s The Predator. This one is exclusive to Target stores in America – it’s priced at $26.99 and is in a collector friendly window box. It won’t come to the UK until at least May 2019 – it’s available to preorder on Forbidden Planet for £33.99.
The guys over on Toyark are the first to get their hands on the new Predator figure and have posted a review of it along with a plethora of great photographs. The paintwork is outstanding and even surpasses the Thermal Predator Poster that Fox released.

Thermal Fugitive Predator Packaging
The figure is over 8″ tall and has over 30 points of articulation. The wrist blades are removable but don’t expect any other accessories or interchangeable heads. The is a one-off variant of the Fugitive Predator given the exclusivity of it.
is the implication there that Lost/Borg, Lasershot, and Spiked Tail are all part of the same clan? I actually didn't notice that Lost and Spiked Tail share the same codpiece until seeing them side by side.

I also find that carefully removing them from packaging while still at comic con (I put accessories in zip-lock sandwich bags), really helps with carrying - what took four carrier bags now take just one carrier bag.
You poor EU/UK folks. I would pull my hair out as a collector. I will never complain about $35 figures (including shipping) ever again.
Will be ordering them from local shops, settled for some comics and a Halo artbook.
I love the addition of her own removable Bio Mask. I haven't bought the Arcade Predators yet (last payday was a bit 'bleugh')
I recommend the Hornhead Predator, it is so sweet with the removable Bio Mask, and that big sword OMG! Needless to say I had to pick up a couple at Comic Con - the second I have given the head to a spare Fugitive Predator, the armour and mask I'm repainting gloss black. I will post pics when I have finished the work.
I was a bit miffed when the new Enforcer Predator I got out of the pack - the right gauntlet broke off the elbow, no way I can repair that break
Nice one.
Yeah now it means i met someone from two forums that weekend lol.
Met a friend from the Divergent Universe forum and now you from here
You probably did, I was the original model Cyberman but as a Cyber-Controller variant (so I had a transparent orange dome on my head with exposed brain inside), lights in the chest unit.
I picked up some really good bargains with Predator figures on those days - I picked up Broken Tusk, x2 Hornhead Predators (one to keep, one to head-swap and custom), Machiko, an extra Fugitive Predator, and a Bad Blood vs Enforcer two-pack. Comic Cons are the best times to pick up Alien and Predator figures, and just good fun days meeting fellow fans.
That's me. I remember you both, good to hear from you.
Just so you know - I did cosplay as a Xenomorph once at London Comic Con a couple of years back (got some good reactions on the train back). And I made a little video on youtube of that Xenomorph Cosplay at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc2ZOC3OycE
Wait, you were the one who suggested the black and white video of you walking around Cardiff to the Tomb of the Cybermen music? I was in the full Black Suit with the Hydra ID and my mate was as an Agent of Shield (he had the huge black beard)
That's the one.
The original cybermen?
I was dressed as the Doctor Who Cyberman, buying Predator figures. And the same for London Comic Con Spring (02/03/19 - 03/03/19)
It is the best time to get Alien and Predator figures at a good price. I got another Broken Tusk Predator cheap - because of damaged packaging, no problem for me as I never keep them in packages. The spare I'm going to customize.
You were there too?
Pretty much read my mind. I intend to do this and have the other for a custom. I didn't want to order him, because Neca shipping costs are outrageous. I want to pick him up locally if I do at all. We shall see. Money is tight right now.
The details, the paint, and the accessories.
I did remove both of the bio masks (the hot water technique made the masks just pop-off) and now I can use the same head and just swap the bio masks. It now looks cool to pose him with the unmasked head, holding on to his bio mask.
The spare head for the masks, I'm going to repaint for the Elder Predator 'Greyback' (Predator 2) so I can give him an option for wearing a bio mask.
Not like this. Ahab has the same thing as Shaman. This is an entirely new sculpt/style. Similar to Top Knot.
Shaman from P2 clan has part of his dreadlocks pined up in sort of pony tail.
That's an amazing detail, I love it.
An Old One approved film.
I have to say, after re-noticing that kind of thing with ADI's Emissary concept art, I'm glad to see NECA doing some stuff with the hair too!
I'm sure we could work that in next year.

I discover something new in these franchises constantly and this is the one of reasons why i love them.

There's 10th anniversary? Jesus Christ! I like the movie by the way.
Predators definetly deserves retrospective podcast.
The feet are Fugitive style feet for sure. As for the body...it actually looks like a new sculpt. It doesn't look like a re-use.

I'm actually really looking forward to Alpha, I'm just wondering what body they'll be using, it looks like it's similar to the AVP bodies but with no netting? With 2-ups its hard to tell
Which is fair! I like this design a lot for several reasons but I would very much like a Top Knot as well.
