An all-new Predator Visual Guide has been released by NECA for their “12 Days of Downloads“. The guide collects every figure released under the Predator license, including some upcoming figures. There are two versions available. The first features just the figures, while the second features the card back art for the carded figure releases. Among the upcoming releases, we see our first official photo of the Deluxe Armored Assassin Predator (which we saw at Toy Fair 2020). Also shown are silhouettes for the Ultimate versions of the Warrior Predator, Shaman Predator, Boar Predator, Snake Predator, and Elder Predator. You can see the images after the jump, including a cropped in version of the upcoming items. For much larger versions, check out the NECA Website.

Alpha Predator Ultimate Figure Available Now via NECA
The excellent Alpha Predator Ultimate 7″ Scale Figure is available now via the NECA eBay Store. It was briefly available on Amazon, but has since sold out. The figure will stand over 8″ tall. The Alpha Predator 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 begin shipping to retailers next week, and hitting shelves before the end of the month.
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.

If you missed it, we had an Advanced Look at the Alpha Predator last month.
UPDATE June 10th:
The figure is now sold out on their eBay store as well. Pre-orders are still available via two of our sponsors; Entertainment Earth and Megalopolis.
Alpha Predator Ultimate Figure by NECA – Exclusive First Look Photo Shoot
The Predator line from NECA is set to hit a special milestone, the release of their 100th Predator themed action figure! For this release, NECA wanted to offer fans not only a completely new figure, but one that hearkens back to the original film in a unique way. As many fans may know, the Jungle Hunter Predator that was seen in the film was not the original design. Initially, the Predator was thought of as a large insectoid creature, with none other than Jean-Claude Van Damme inside the suit. However, while filming director John McTiernan realized the design wasn’t working. It was too clunky, and was not as mobile as was needed to film the action scenes. Ultimately, Stan Winston was tapped to design the new creature, giving us the iconic Yautja design scene in the film.
To pay homage to this lost legacy, NECA has brought this original design into their story canon as the Amengi, a race of creatures that enslaved the much smaller, and weaker ancestors to the Yautja. After generations of evolution, and being bred to fight in gladiatorial style games, the Yautja were born. The largest, and strongest of the fighters had led an uprising, killing off the Amengi, and freeing his race from their enslavement. This new leader was known as the first hunter, and became the alpha Predator, wearing the near impenetrable skin of the Amengi (aka the unused Predator design), as his armor and mask.
Our friends at NECA Toys have sent over the Alpha Predator for an exclusive advanced look. After the jump, you can find my photo gallery and thoughts on the figure.

Preview of the Alpha Predator by NECA
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.

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.
