With just a week until San Diego Comic-Con 2016, NECA has shared a few new Predator previews. These items will be present at the show. The first preview is a look at the finalize Kenner themed Stalker Predator. The photo shows off the glow in the dark feature for the figure. The second preview is for the highly anticipated Predator Accessory Pack. That pack will contain a skinned body, a Jungle Hunter Predator blast effect, a City Hunter Predator Blast Effect, a skull, two skulls with spinal columns and an Alien Xenomorph skull. Pre-orders for the accessory pack begin this week.

NECA Previews Two Predator Items Coming To SDCC 2016
F***ing insane NECA!! Fantastic looking skinned human and xenomorph skull
That accessory pack is the bee's knees. Seriously awesome.
Some people on Facebook are claiming that the Predator's plasma casters wouldn't support the weight of the blast effects, and I think they may have a point. Opinions?

To be honest I wish they would include the blue plasma blast and the bloody skull with the spine with the Ultimate Jungle Hunter and the Xenomorph skull and the orange plasma blast with the Ultimate City Hunter.
Because while this accessory set is awesome, I really don’t want that skinned corpse and I could do without the clean skulls too.
This kinda feels like they outsourced potential accessories from the Ultimates which sucks, especially since Jungle Hunter doesn't have much weapons they could include, so I hoped he would come with some accessories like the ones in this pack. Obviously not the whole corpse, but the bloody spine and the plasma blast would make for excellent accessories for an Ultimate figure IMO.
Glow in the dark!!!
This is gonna be one of those packs where everybody wants some parts but not others. Those who missed out on the original skulls for example. The Alien set's like that for me too (Don't really need the seperate huggers).
Personally I have all the Pred skulls anyway so I'd have preferred a severed Alien arm or something.
I already have the skulls, don't want the blasts, but need about 50 of the skinned bodies.
Also, no one has YET complained about the corpse not having any articulation.
I'll probably get this. You can't have enough trophies in a predator display.

I know NECA already made something different with the Alien Creatures pack, but until we get confirmation on what comes with the Ultimate figures I’ll assume they won’t come with this stuff.
I must have that corpse to hang from my rear view mirror.
Yeah, that corpse is tempting. I have the same doubts about the blast effects. The casters on my Predator figures are pretty loose.
The Ultimate figures should indeed come with a lot of this stuff. But I suppose it will depend on what NECA does. Alternate masked/unmasked heads are a must, at the very least.

We already know Scarface predator will come with alternate heads and he is being released as an ultimate figure, plus every single ultimate figure to date that can have alternate heads has had alternate heads. Freddy came with three heads, T2 T-800 had 3, Leatherface had 2, T-1000 had 3, Sarah Connor had 3, Tech Noir T-800 had 3, Kratos had 2, and Evil Dead 2 Ash will have 2. Jason didn't have alternate heads but he did have a removable mask. Dante and John Matrix have been the only 2 human ultimate figures so far to not have head options.
I'm sure someone WILL complain, but that's stupid. It's a dead body that hangs upside-down. It doesn't need dynamic action poses unless you want to use it as a Hellraiser "Uncle Frank" figure instead.
Fun fact about the Matrix figure: if you remove his vest, his camo paint is complete and he even has the little wound painted on his side from when he gets hit with the grenade! Nice attention to detail there, NECA.
Full Details and New Photos of the Predator Accessory Pack - The Toyark - News
I'm thinking of using a gloss coat over the corpse for the photo shoot when I get these. Make it look even slimier.
I don't know. $24 for what amounts to some really minor acessories seems a bit overpriced. Maybe if this pack came with two corpses instead of one it might justify the price. I think it would have been better served to come with some extra weapons like the smart disks and combi sticks which are easily lost or broken, or maybe a couple of new ones like the cleaner kit or the net gun as opposed to the skulls.
Kind of a cool idea, but not thoroughly fleshed out like the Xeno pack was, especially at that price point.
