For their Wednesday update, NECA has posted a teaser for an upcoming Predator figure. the very early, in-progress figure is shown to have working LED light up features. The previously shared an image of the figures working LED arm bomb mechanism. The new images show off the working targeting lights on the side of the mask. This is not the final version, just a test to see how it functions. No word on if this is a sculpt for a new 1/4 scale figure, or a 2-up prototype for a 7″ figure. We’ll update as more info becomes available.
Read on to see the preview images.
NECA Teasing New Predator With Working LED Light Features

I'm thinking it's more than likely a 1/4 scale figure considering the amount of detail on the laser sight. I have the Hot Toys versions of these figures, and even those aren't as clean and detailed as that laser sight mock up. I can't imagine NECA being able to work those LEDs into a 7 inch figure without hitting some snags.
I am kind of surprised we don't see more LEDs in these kinds of toy lines. It's not that expensive, and it's way more enticing to me than sound effects. That ED-209 should have had muzzle-flashing canons instead of a crappy voicebox.
Looks pretty sweet. Should be interesting to see what all they're able to do with it. Most likely a 1/4 scale figure, but I have to admit, I would be absolutely impressed if this was for a 7" scaled figure.
If it is 18" I am in. My Dutch is lonely...
Love the LED's......hoping for more info at SDCC.
Judging by the size of the piece relative to the hand holding it, I think the figure will be a foot-long.
LOVE the accuracy and attention to detail. Maybe if this one is a hit, they'll do it on the smaller scale also.

Yeah, you're right. Time will tell.
I hope for 7", but wouldn't bet on it. I was all geared up for 7" scale Midas Iron Man a couple years ago, and the product they released was 18".

Late December now? That's a shame. Was hoping to use a couple of these as Christmas presents!
Oh man, this thing is going to be FANTASTIC. I can just picture it perching on the top of my corner cabinet.

Anybody spare a little change for a poor collector?
