NECA Predator Figure Series

[Mike’s Monsters]

I never forgot. That's only 1 thing out of the potential many things we could have had.

Again, they have been doing stuff with the license with PREY. They finished off the Lost Tribe recently too. That's more than f**kall in my opinion. PREY is still coming out with new variants as of this weekend too with the SDCC exclusive version. The PREY line has been selling like hotcakes too.

They've been told to hold off on going backwards. Anyone else who'd pick up the license would be told the same thing, or we'd just get ANOTHER Jungle Hunter like we've seen a million times. Anyone new who gets the license always starts with Jungle Hunter and then if they don't sell like crazy, they move on from the license. NECA is established with PREDATOR and knows what they're doing.

They probably already have pitched the idea of Wolf, but again, the AvP license hasn't really been touched since the buyout. I don't know how to really drive that point home. Fox & Disney are probably being very cautious with the license because even before the buyout Fox saw AvP as a "bad word" according to a Fox executive I was able to speak with. I think the best thing to do about Wolf in this situation is just be patient. I truly think he will be here eventually, it's just a matter of when.

I have someone asking tomorrow about Wolf IF they can get face to face with NECA.

Despair.

Requiem appreciators must suffer.

Just for clarity, it doesn't mean hold off indefinitely. It just means for right now while they are still working out how they want to move forward with the specific AvP license. It's not that they'd never look backwards ever again.

There has been that one book (that was mostly done before the buyout), but I'm very sure we will see AvP stuff again in the future. It's all a matter of when. I seriously think they are testing the waters and see how much weight and hype the new projects can hold once they release to see if they want to go forward with AvP again.

Also, no answer on Wolf, (or even Predalien/Chet for the matter who I said to ask about). The folks who would know anything were not around the booth when our buddy Ridgetop went by to get some answers. Sorry we don't have anything to share. But like I've said, most of what I have stated in previous posts is most likely the case on why we haven't seen the remasters of them. I worked a LOT with licensing at Bandai when I had my time there and dealt with these very strict rules all the time (especially from Disney related projects), so I'm speaking from personal experience and knowledge. You don't have to like what I'm telling you, but I'm just sharing the facts, and you do with them as you please.

This caused many projects to be put on hold or remain in limbo. Disney/Fox is still evaluating what to do with the AvP license, and it's complicated. NECA likely doesn't want to give false hope for something they can't guarantee a release for. It's better to say nothing than risk misleading fans.

You probably nailed: so far, since the bouyout we can see where both Alien and Predator franchises are going to (movies, series, videogames, comics, books, etc), but so far I recall, Disney/Fox hasn´t do so far anything yet with the AvP franchise. In fact, after the AvP requiem clusterf**k, Fox never touched the AvP franchise and so far I know, there isn´t even plans for a 4K/UHD release for both AvP flicks, at the contrary of the A/P films. Perhaps the current directory of Fox Studios is still watching and planning what  to do with the AvP franchise and that´s the reason why NECA hasn´t been allowed to release the so desired Wolf.

Took some last photos of the the diorama with Shaman while he helps me pack lol.

So a user on reddit said they talked to blaine (NECA dude) @SDCC and it sounded like he was excited about the future for the lines (Alien & Predator) something about letting 20th century studios get situated and maybe now they can start doing other figures. Not specifically Wolf or anything but I guess its something

That tracks with the license being in limbo, and them still trying to figure out how to move forward. I don't doubt we will see Wolf in the future, it's just a matter of when. The patience will pay off. They love making ALIEN & PREDATOR figures, and I don't see them wanting to stop. They don't just get to make whatever they want to, they need to be approved by the license holder before they can go full steam ahead on something. With the buyout, it definitely put it all up in the air for a bit, but now things are finally settling down.

Some extra shots of Shaman. Last photos now that he's packed up. 😁

I REALLY hope we get a rerelease of Scarface down the line

[PAS]

Of even updated, make a new mold for his body and head to make him bulkier like in the games

[BlueMarsalis79]

Have him able to do this pose or bust.

I highly doubt the Scarface predator figure can do such pose. Perhaps you should modify or improve the articulation, in particular the knees to allow the figure to do that kind of stuff.

Last photos, forgot the cloak comes with him lol.

Logging on for the first time in 3 years to check out Romulus news but also to express my dismay they have still not released an updated Wolf.

Give me the whip, the dual shoulder cannons, the stomped on Xeno head, the whole damn thing!
