If you missed it, there’s a great looking Kenner Homage Warrior Alien vs Renegade Predator 2-Pack coming from NECA. Last night NECA shared out a sneak peek at the packaging. The new images shows part of the back of the packaging, which will feature a mini checklist of Alien and Predator items. Last week they shared out an image showing the Warrior Alien art for the packaging. The 2-pack is scheduled for a release this Fall.
Read on to check it out.
NECA Teases New Alien vs Predator Kenner Homage 2-Pack
I want this and I want it NOW.
I still have the original set!
This is an awesome set, I no longer have my originals but they are fondly remembered.
If the Kenner style packaging comes out as cool as I am hoping, I might need a second set to keep carded.
What's fantastic about renegade predator set?
This has me excited for a number of reasons, one being the swappable heads (something that I hope they keep doing,) with the other being that this will make a decent army builder set, since Renegade is fairly close to the original Predator in color and design. Really hope they can find a way to include the comic insert from the Kenner toys (which I still have!)
The swappable head is what really sells it for me. That and the brown armor always reminded me of the Predator Hunter from the AvP arcade game and that's the one I always played as.
Wonder what the chances are of getting figures made from that game?
I really hope this doesn't end up being an exclusive.

I am loving this set already. While I do friggin' like the series 13 Renegade, this is the original look. Can't wait to have both Renegades side by side. The dark purple-ish alien dome also looks swell.
I've noticed I've been collected all the remakes of the Kenner ones I had. This 2pk is another.
Wow. I had a lot of Aliens/Preds in high school...

Never count NECA out though, as they have made stranger things happen...
Renegade is hinted in the Dark Horse comic that was packed in with the original Kenner toy as being very brash and inexperienced, almost like a grunt fresh out of basic training. Being that he brandishes a laser rifle (something nearly no yautja does) and has nothing all that unique about his bio mask or armor, I like to think of him as a "private" who has yet to earn his stripes, making him perfect fodder material for hungry Xenos....
OR... the This renegade could be perfect to do some custom work on. Good army builder Xeno and a few spare Renegade to add some little touches to. Like how Hicks and Hudson have almost the same outfits but the little details make each their own. Someone could do that here also and make a squad of grunt Preds :-)
That would be awesome to see.
this set will definitely be joining my collection of preds. and i too would love to see an army of grunts
This is an automatic purchase for me !!!! i still have my originals and this is the way i remember my original renagade looking. tan skin tan with the brown/bronze armor.
IMO this is the renagade predator instead of the greenish looking one that was made just recently.
hopefully they release this soon because im ready to buy !!!!!!
It says it's to be released in the fall so there's a wee bit of a wait but it should definitely be worth it.

It matches Kenner perfectly though, except for the release order of course. The original Renegade with the brown armor was available in the two pack and later (I think it was exclusive to KB Toys) a purple armored green Renegade was released individually. NECA is taking the old figures and switching the release orders for the repaints. Now Nightstorm came before Scavage, Lava before Cracked Tusk, and green Renegade before brown Renegade. I wonder if they'll have the two pack bio say this the other Renegade's brother or if they're meant to be the same guy. Being the same guy wouldn't make much sense seeing as their skin coloring doesn't at all match.
Edit: Figured I'd add on here that on Twitter they said the included comic will be a reprint of the original Dark Horse comic from the original two pack.

From the pics it looks like it's still the same body parts with the netting sculpted on. Have the netting or don't. Don't keep using the same sculpt for the nude flesh.
Big fan of the Alien and Predator movies but don't know much about the Kenner figures, simply due to never being aware of them until recently. Having said that, I think this looks great!
