NECA DEC 2019 Previews

Two new behind the scenes previews have been released by NECA Toys. The images give us a new look at two upcoming, highly anticipated releases. First up, they have shared a look at the prototype for their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cartoon Metalhead Figure. For that, they are still finalizing articulation and then the figure heads off to the factory for tooling. No word on official release date for this figure. You can see more of Metalhead from SDCC 2019.

The second preview is for the Alpha Predator figure. The figure was initially meant to be the 100th Predator figure released by NECA. The photo is of the unpainted prototype, but you can see more of that figure from Toy Fair and SDCC 2019. It uses “armor” based on the unused Jean-Claude Van Damme Predator design. The Alpha Predator is due in Spring 2020.

Check out the photos after the jump.

    Have some hot water ready. Both of mine were statues right out of the box. a good soak and they were good to go.

    How do you do that exactly? Does water get trapped inside?

    This is why I advise using a hairdryer over the hot water method. It lets you have more control over where exactly it is you're applying heat which is particularly helpful when only one joint in the middle of the figure is stuck as opposed to having to let the entire figure take a hot bath. It also avoids the chance of water getting caught in figures with hollow parts, which while I don't think there's any real danger to that it's still something I'd like to not happen.

    That sounds like a good idea too.

    I'm such chicken shit. I'm scared to do it XD
