New Behind The Scenes Look at AvP Ahab Predator Ultimate Figure

under Aliens and Predator Toy News

NECA has released a new behind the scenes photo for their upcoming Dark Horse Comics inspired Alien vs Predator – Ultimate 7″ Scale Ahab Predator Figure. The new photo shows the in-progress packaging layout, giving us a look at the numerous accessories that will be included with the figure. The figure was originally listed for an October release, but is not currently on the shipping calendar. You can see the new image by clicking the banner image above.

This brand-new version of Ahab is based on his appearance in the Dark Horse comics. We’ve given our SDCC 2014 exclusive a massive upgrade, equipping it with the all new “Ultimate” Predator body which has added articulation in the biceps (bicep swivels), elbows (double elbow joints) and torso, plus an opening gauntlet.

The figure also features new loin armor and skirt, new right gauntlet, new knee armor, fabric cape and all new deco. He’s equipped with brand new accessories too, including an Engineer Gun, Spear, Gauntlet with both 2- and 3-blade configurations, alternate hands, Engineer skull trophy and more!

The Engineer Gun can be held or clipped to the figure’s back. Stands approximately 8″ tall and comes in collector-friendly deluxe window box packaging with opening flap.

    Oh man, PLEASE don't be an SDCC exclusive. Ahab''s one of my favorite newer comic Predators.

    Oh. I pretty much saw this guy pop up on my Twitter feed and was confused on whether or not it was an exclusive. My bad.

    Ah. No, general release. Great for those that never got the original (like me).

    Oh! Me want!

    He looks superb. And look at all those accessories: tri-blade wrist gauntlet and en Engineer rifle...

    I'm suddenly glad I missed the original

    And I really, really love these Ultimate figures. I hope they give Broken Tusk this honor.

    I was hoping he would too but it sounds like he's just gonna be part of series 18. However he releases he damned well better have two heads because I'd hate to have to buy another just to display his head that bears his namesake.

    Well this came and jumped out of the blue. But he does look pretty F****** cool. I might get him, if my wallet lets me

    Gasp!!!!!!!! sudden thought: what if we get an engineer from the comic to?

  14. Riddick's Avatar Riddick says

    I really hope so. I hope they don't re-use the Engineer body they have though, it's good but it's a little too short. Engineers are 9+ feet tall, so it needs a little more height.

    I have the comic and i don't recall him wearing a cape. I think i'll stick to my original version.

    He appeared in several comics. He wore it in one of them. Fire and Stone, maybe. I'd have to dig.

    Well I think that's because the figures they made are based on the movie costumes used in Prometheus and not the lore based height. In the film the main Engineer was portrayed by Ian Whyte (who was also Scar and Wolf in the AVP films) who is 7'1" so that's probably the scale they worked with for the figures they made.

    Any signs of the NECA DC/Alien/Predator wave? which I was hoping would lead to a Dredd/Alien/Predator wave!

    Last I heard (last month), they're still dealing with the crossover licensing hurdles and have been pushed back to 2018.

    The Batman set is listed on BBTS as coming out this month...is that based on old info then?

    Oh my, what a BIG trophy skull you have.

    Really like the different wrist blades options and the opened smart disk. Can't wait to see this one in my hands.
