NECA Predator Figure Series

[Shadow]

they seriously need to make the remaining 7" Aliens, dog, res and newborn. and hopefully queens. oh, and avp warrior and Grid. i'm annoyed to see my neca Aliens stuck at Aliens while my preds boosts on to completion, especially if they are indeed making the AvP preds, which i really hope for because its all that stands between a almost complete set and a Fully complete set

[darylox]

Neca and 7" is dangerous for the Paint. They should release much more in the 18 SCALE:

The first 18" Pred selled out so fast,  Gort i heart too.
If they didnt make P2 in 18", big marketing error.

When could we start expecting AVP Predators? After the Lost Tribe is finished?

Probably yes, but nothing was confirmed yet.

There will be an announcement at SDCC on July 12, i hope...

Of course they're gonna make the AvP ones. Im hoping for non screen accurate tho. Make them skinny like they should have been in the first place. I mean, what else is there to do after this? P2s pretty much done.

Im sure a battle damaged with his hand cut off is already in the works and they said they might do a throwback to an old Kenner figure. my guess is broken Tusk or the one with the alien armor on its chest (which is what broken Tuck wore in the original comics anyways.)

So the only ones Neca hasn't done is AvP. And with the recent announcement of Hot Toys remaking the entire line from all the incarnations of the movies, they have some competition.

I'm not sure. But i hope they do. Would be cool to have ancient predators, dutch and harrigan as well.

[drvais]

That, or maybe some humans. Either way I ain't complaining.

From NECA: character & figure have little appeal or interest. If we could do any human it would be Dutch & Dutch only.

I'd really love if they released a figure of dutch. what do ya think the chances of that happening are though?

Q: Btw are we ever gonna get a Dutch figure? My Predators need a worthy opponent.

A: we don't have the likeness rights for the Dutch character, we all wish we did

Q: Could Dutch be coming this year?

A: definitely not

Q: so who has to say yes for u to produce Dutch?? I know u want it too right??

A: Arnold & it costs additional money on top of existing license.

did you ask that question to them or was it someone else?

It was some other guy. I read all the tweets from NECA 

Here is other questions about predators figures:


Q: Any updates on Predators?

A: prepping Series 5 packaging and figures for Spring release and maybe cooking up some exclusives for 2012 as well

Q: Any hints on what exclusives might be made for 2012? Thanks!

A: nothing definite but looking Stealth/Cloaked we haven't done and maybe an homage to an old Kenner figure as well

Q: heard youre going to do a "homage to a kenner pred" would that be the renegade? Complete with staff and gun?

A: said we might do a Kenner homage, always have backup plans for exclusives and variants in case they're needed

Q: Kenner Tribute figures?! I'm listening intently

A: a possible tribute/homage to an old Kenner item, just one figure and this is a ways off if it happens

Q: Can fans expect to see Classic Predators redone with new articulation?

A: not likely, it will take most of 2012 to release all of the P2 Lost Preds

Q: Are you guys planning on producing any more trophies like the ones in the 2packs?

A: definitely, the when & where as far as release is still being determined

Q: Can we expect a single carded masked City Hunter with spear?

A: not planned but possible for beyond Series 6 as an exclusive, Series 7, or a best of type assortment. Not currently planned tho



And some questions about Aliens figures:


Q: Depending on what is in the film, is there any possibility of figures from "Prometheus"? Or have you decided not to pursue it?

A: no final decision has been made, we need to have a much better understanding of what could be "figure worthy"

Q: Are there any plans to make figures based on the upcoming "Aliens: Colonial Marines" game?

A: no such plans

Q: With regards to Aliens, are you focusing on Cameron's film (marines,Queen) or other films?

A: TBD. Can't discuss further right now. Hopefully more info come Toy Fair


  Yep! New Aliens at Toy Fair!! 

I just wanted to repost this in response to recent comments on this page.  Hell, this info might be worth making as a sticky at the beginning of this thread.

[Sexy Poot]

I think we should make it mandatory for newbies from now on to read a set of rules before being able to post in the forums that there will be no human figures made because of licensing. Ive read waaaay too many times "why no harrigan figurez!?".

Geez, you think it's bad on here?  Try NECA's FB page or twitter account!

[Jace Madan]

Sweet, hopefully they will make the Ox/Dog Alien figure.

[SamHain]

does anyone know if there is any possibility that NECA may do figures of the costumes from the ps2 game predator concrete jungle?

[Sexy Poot]

No. They've said multiple time they don't have any intentions. I guess its possible 20 years from now when they run out of films but as of right now, nope.

They need to ask about re-doing AVP Preds! 

[georgeromero]

No, seems like they need to be forced to do AVP Predators.

[Tribal]

No, seems like they need to be forced to do AVP Predators.

Lets wait for the SDCC on July 12

From twitter:

Question: What sort of Predators toys are you doing?

Answer: finishing up the Lost clan. There is more after that but we may save those details for SDCC.

Question: What is the likelyhood of us getting a figure of the Scarface Predator from Concrete Jungle? I'd love you forever if we got that.

Answer: haven't looked into it as we've got plans in place into 2013 already that come from the films.


I smell Celtic, Chopper, Scar and Elder coming my way
