Feel like this is pretty big news and deserves its own thread considering how long we have been waiting...but at the rate NECA is going I wouldnt expect it to be released before 2026
14'45 mark for Wolf news
I would be satisfied if they just finished this up

Exactly, I hope they keep that sculpt cause it looks nice. I'm glad they still have the license and I hope they have the Alien license as well then. I presume the slowdown is cause of them focusing on other lines predominantly, but maybe behind the scenes there was a waiting period where their license went expired so they were negotiating to renew them?
I hope we see Wolf, a good Predalien, more Predator figures whatever they may be and figures for the new Alien show and movie when they come out.
Hope Wolf comes with a bendy whip!
One single Deluxe Ultimate release would be just fine. I don't feel like buying 3 different Wolf Predators.
they could go all out and also release the other Requiem predators and get creative with what gear theyd have
They should do the Requiem trophy wall while they are at it.

I do in fact, and for AvP too.
I wish we'd get a 4K release for AvPR with the brightness corrected to be what it was in theatres, every home release has been too dark.

Actually after much quiet contemplation and deep introspection, you will find that Chet is, in fact, cool and good.
Chet's insulting to my retinas.

I've softened on AvPR quite a bit over the years.
Is it a GOOD movie? Not really.
Does it have some good moments, good kills, good practical effects? Enough for me to not get bored when I watch it? Yeah.

In all seriousness there was some good scenes in that movie even though it was very dark and I haven't seen it since I was 12. I need to watch it again to reevaluate my opinion

That's actually quite cool, I think it might be on US streaming on Hulu? I wonder if it has the same (visible) copy that you're talking about.
I'd genuinely buy a full-featured 4K release though. There are boutique labels like Shout Factory that take unloved movies and give them special treatment with a very high-quality presentation and lots of special features and the like. I'd buy a boutique release of AvPR with interviews and behind the scenes stuff and commentaries and the like, I think giving the movie that kind of attention would elevate the movie experience at least into the realm of "interesting" even if it's still not "good".

I always thought it looked brighter/not that dark when I watched it in the cinema December 2007
Is it confirmed fact that the home version is darker？

Definitely, there are a ton of reports from people that the home release is a lot darker than what played in theatres for some reason.
Was the same for me, theater and home. Too dark to see.
Cinema and Region 4 DVD are/were visible enough for me. Illicit copies of US DVD, much darker.
Region 4 DVD wasn't too bad but the Disney+ is remarkably better, without looking like they just brightened the image.
Even people on YouTube were able to make the movie brighter.

So not Chet then.
I really wish they'd have done some figures on the other iterations of the PredAlien (except AvP2s, I still dislike that beast) or some concept figures of the other designs for Requiem.
The rejected AVP Requiem maquette you did an interview on years ago.

Yep, I'd love to see that one! I think Xenomorphine did that interview iirc.
How that thing got rejected I'll never know.

Me and SiL are both in our early to mid 30's and performatively jaded so read any future posts by either of us as "exhausted, cynical but honest millennial" and you can't go far wrong.

This seems to be an adaptation. His design is my favourite but I don't think it made it into any official release. The AvP Duel one is close.

I believe his design was part of a line of trading cards.
Then I stand corrected.
It was. Alien Legacy, IIRC. There was a set for each film, and then a bunch of comic and toy artwork, and a few Giger pieces.
Would have been the Alien Predator Universe set, I'd imagine. Alien Legacy was purely films and Alien film related artwork.
