Initially revealed over a year ago, Predator Series 18 from NECA looks to be hitting store shelves soon! The Dark Horse Comics inspired assortment includes three oft requested figures; Hornhead Predator, Broken Tusk Predator, and Machiko Noguchi, a human female who is part of a Predator Clan! The figures should begin shipping to retailers by months end, and should be available from stores by mid-November. They’ll likely be available direct from NECA before that. For now, check out the new final packaging photos for the three figures.
NECA’s longest running action figure line continues with an entire series dedicated to Dark Horse Comics Predators! Series 18 features three action figure debuts that are some of the most requested by fans: Hornhead, Broken Tusk and our first female Predator, Machiko!
Hornhead made his first appearance in Predator: Life & Death, and is a great companion piece to the Ultimate Ahab Predator, also from the currently running comics. He utilizes the new Ultimate Predator body, and comes with a removable mask and sword accessory that fits in a sheath on his back. Broken Tusk originates in the classic 1990s Aliens vs Predator comics, and his epic story arc also includes Machiko Noguchi, a human colonist who performs the incredible feat of earning his respect and joining his tribe. Broken Tusk utilizes the new Ultimate Predator body and comes with gun and bladed weapon that measures over 12” in length! Machiko has a removable mask, extra interchangeable hands, and rifle accessory.
We’ve paid close attention to detail to make these as accurate to the comics as possible. Hornhead and Broken Tusk stand 8” tall; Machiko stands 6.5” tall. Each has between 25 and 30 points of articulation. Blister card packaging.
Preview of New Dark Horse Predator for NECA Predators Series 18

uh huh.... here we go. "just when i thought i out, They pull me back in"
buying it just hope they do a non bloodly version cause to me the blood kills it
How many different Predators are there in the Predator comics. What is the comic about anyways
I like it. I agree about hoping for a clean version but it's still a pretty cool design.
Really love the wrist gauntlets which are clearly reused from earlier NECA Predators and don't match the design of the gauntlets on the cover and the strap across the chest that is about three times too wide.
This was a great showing and the entire setup that Randy from NECA set up was great. They also showed off more of the Jungle Demon and other 30th Anniversary figures. I think what would have made this new horned Predator even better were if its mandibles were open. But the inclusion of the mask was a nice touch to recreate the cover.
I get why the horns were included and all (as per comic design), but it really kills it for me... (as were the other 2 Kenner designs)... I will have to wait until I see it irl first and then decide...
NECA Predator Series 18 Hornhead Predator Masked - The Toyark - News

Damn! That's cool looking. Now, I guess I will have to order 2, to display both looks.
Okay yeah. That looks pretty damn badass.
This will look great beside my Ghost and unmasked Scar!
I still wish NECA was able to give these predator figures swappable mouth expressions. I mean, it looks like those parts are a separate piece anyways. I think it would also make their removable mask figures a little better because they could include closed mouth, opened mouth, and just a chin so that the mask looks better when applied.
I'd gladly shell out an extra $5 for something like that. Or even if they only did it with their ultimate predator figures.

SO happy for Broken Tusk and Machiko
And look, REAL netting!
And look, REAL netting!
That groin plate for broken tusk is so awkward
Sweet, Machiko. Getting this one for sure, always enjoyed the concept of the Human Predator.
I'm not loving Broken Tusk as much as I hoped though... don't really know why myself. Oh well, maybe once I see all the official pictures I'll change my mind.
That human Predator looks pretty awesome... Might need to venture into the Predator world some more.

Err, out of context that phrase sounds kind of dirty. Sorry about that folks.
