Starting a new thread for sharing the NECA Predator card backs or other bio / lore info.
To get us started here's what I have for Series 1, 2 and 3. Not a lot on these but I figure we may as well include all we can right?
Alright so I'm going to attempt at posting this otherwise I'm going to try and find the images online again. I'm running into trouble posting the 2004 Elder so I might have to seek out the URL.
Series 4
Keep 'em coming!
Series 5
More!!!
lol...you're gonna get tired of this Hicks!
Series 6
I'll never get tired of giving you a bump so you can post more! :P
Thanks for doing this, something I've always been curious about too.
Thanks Hicks! And you are welcome HuDaFuk!
Series 7 and 9 (hope someone can post the missing ones)
More!
Series 10 and 11
More?
oh yeah...got about 25 more...lol. Had more of these than I thought once I looked through the archives...
Series 12
Well that's good for all of us! :P
Series 13 and 14 (I'll have to go hunting for missing ones now...lol)
You're doing a proud service to your community.
lol...like I said, I hate it when this stuff disappears and never gets archived! It needs to be shared!
Series 15 and 16
Keep 'em coming! I'll probably transcribe all these into a Word file at some point.
That would be awesome! please share that out if you do
Last Series 16 and Series 17
I'll see if we can throw them up in our gallery too. Be good to get it archived easily somewhere too.

Will do! Did the same thing with the Nostromo crew dossiers from the
Anthology and the surprisingly decent Weyland-Yutani archive on the
Requiem Blu-ray.
Thanks Hicks! and are those online HuDaFuk?
Some Deluxes and a 2-pack
Quote from: lightsyder on Jun 04, 2020, 02:41:50 PMThanks Hicks! and are those online HuDaFuk?
Nope, but I can send them over if you'd like.
Unless Hicks wants to stick them up on the site somewhere. My release fees are reasonable :P
Love to read them if you are ok sharing!

I jest (although I wouldn't say no to a drink on the company :P)
If you actually do wanna put them up for download you're welcome to do so. I'll send you the most recent copies.

Send 'em over dude. Am sure I can find somewhere for them! :P
Does anyone have a copy of the Golden Angel backstory?
Oh, I guess it didn't have any actually.

I'm touching up the W-Y archives file a little, I'll send them both over when I'm done. Any preferred format? They're Word files at the moment.
Nah, a Word doc is fine mate.

If you are feeling generous maybe send a copy my way? Love to read them!
I would love to read them aswell.
Tbh if a few of you want it it'll probably just be easier to wait until Hicks has a download up. I'll try and get it over to him today.
If I ever get around to the NECA lore transcript I'll send him that too.
Love that Berserker is supposedly a prodigy who was the youngest ever to kill a xenomorph, but has a really rousing fight with the tired captive predator :P ::)
Aside from me being a superpredator hating xenophobe who advocates original yautja supremacy, I have one of the cooler bios for you guys from Neca Lore

The true "Lost Predator!" Cooler indeed! :)
It just occurred to me "Serpent Hunter" might actually already be in lore, this is a pretty cool connection I think I made. So does everyone remember that comic from alien vs predator annual "chained to life and death"? In it they talk about a hunter who has more cumulative xeno kills than anyone else, but he's going on his last hunt because he's so old his body is failing. We know from the good folks at Neca that the Serpent Hunter is one of the oldest predators so this lines up well. Here's some stuff though that makes me really think it could be serpent!
First of all just like the serpent bio it says he tries to think like them:
But also it says he's the Very best, that none had killed more xenos none had collected as many skulls
IDK guys, sorry if the images aren't working but I think he might be the same guy, same secluded attitude, same characteristics, and same track record of being the very best xeno hunter ever. Maybe this was on purpose as an homage or maybe I spend way too much time reading these comics.
There's some cool lore from the Ultimate Scout Predator:

hey, does anyone know if the Neca Clan Leader has a little bio like the Alpha Predator did? I literally just noticed today that Alpha had a backstory behind the box décor, if you have Clan Leader can you confirm that he does or does not?
He does:

It's the first time I've seen Corporal being greedy lol
Oh cool, thanks.
