Ultimate Alpha Predator 011

After it’s initial reveal nearly one year ago, NECA has revealed full details and photos for their upcoming Ultimate Alpha Predator 100th Edition Figure. This 7″ scale figure will come in at 8″ tall. It features armor and a mask based on the unused Predator design from the original film. The figure includes a removable mask, interchangeable hands, a staff, and more. Look for the figure to ship out in June. It will be priced about $35. You can see the new photos after the jump.

Predator – 7″ Scale Action Figure – Ultimate Alpha Predator 100th Edition Figure

To commemorate the release of over 100 different Predator figures comes the very first original design and concept by NECA, the Alpha Predator!

In place of the traditional tech, gadgets, and armor worn by other yautja, the Alpha’s attire takes on a more insect-like appearance; a subtle homage to the original 1987 Predator design. Standing at 8” tall with over 30 points of articulation, the Ultimate Alpha Predator is an entirely new sculpt kitted out with an array of accessories including a removable mask, hook, gauntlets, and 3 pairs of interchangeable hands. Classic Predator weapons such as the wrist blades, staff, and shuriken, have been reimagined to fit his unique theme.

NECA Alpha Predator Preview 002

While a larger update is planned for Friday, NECA has released a few new photos of their highly anticipated Alpha Predator. The figure is an original NECA design, and was initially meant to be the 100th Predator figure they released. The figure is most notable for the armor it wears, which is based on the unused original Predator design, which actually was going to be portrayed by Jean-Claude Van Damme. Look for the full update tomorrow. For now, check out the new photos after the jump.

NECA Big Chap Alien Ultimate 052

Back in 2014, as part of Aliens Series 2, NECA released their original Big Chap Alien from the original Alien film. Since then, the Aliens line has seen tremendous growth and has become one of NECA’s best selling, and longest running, properties. As the line has grown, advancements have been made in how NECA articulates their Alien Xenomorphs, greatly improving the range of motion of the figures joints. For the 40th anniversary of Alien, they are revisiting the Big Chap Alien with an Ultimate 7″ Scale Figure release. NECA has updated the articulation and paint scheme, and included a newly designed Alien Egg, a new Facehugger, and a Chestburster. The figure is scheduled to begin shipping out to retailers in February.

Our friends at NECA were kind enough to send along a very early sample of the Alien 40th Anniversary Ultimate Big Chap Alien. I have a full photo gallery, and a review of the figure. After the jump, check out my thoughts on the updates, a rundown of what’s new on the figure, and of course my hi-res photo shoot.

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.

The figures sell for $14.99 each plus shipping.
