Tristan did do the box art for Snake. Mine just arrived today. I haven't had a chance to unbox it yet but they knocked this one out of the park.

I don't know how you feel about the box art, but it's such a wasted opportunity. So far every art was able to give a glimpse of who those characters were, and I was really expecting to get the best of all of them with the Elder.
 Michael Montenat did incredible work with Shaman and Boar, it's really weird how this one ended up becoming.

I am confused.

The artist likely used the Hot Toys as the reference and NECA didn't know/care to look.

-edit

Looked into it some more and it's likely a bunch of images Frankenstein'ed together from this promo shoot and drawn over in photoshop or something because there isn't an exact match, but very close in sections.

Somebody at neca must have recognised it. The HT elder has a pretty unique look. The artist is also very capable of delivering awesome predator art. It's a strange one. Fortunately, the figure looks great.

Speaking of box art, Snake has my favourite of the collection. It makes me wish we got a Tristan Jones comic following the lost tribe.

Shaman remains my favourite figure, but Snake isn't far behind.

At this point, if they've lost the license, it's likely just a "hurry up and get it out there" situation.

With how quiet and quick the latest Alien and Predator releases have been, this feels very true.

Thats exactly why I said it was suspicious that Elder's boxart was just a lame Photoshop of another toy's boxart. They just wanted to finish the line and be done with it.

Makes me wonder if Feral will even be released. There's been no solicitations and it was revealed back in October.

Nah, I actively hope they don't waste the plastic.

I'm still very hopeful they'll at least release Feral before they shut it down.

Feral is likely their last release.

I'm environmentally friendly but that's a good sendoff.

I already printed totem for Predators diorama. I'd love to have articulated River Ghost and Predator Dogs.
