This new one will probably just be a repainted in clear plastic with the electricity deco version of the Ultimate City Hunter (Demon) Predator which seem to be the best Predator neca has made based on the Predator 2 movie.
makes sense indeed, I believe you are correct if anything this is a re-deco of the City Hunter
it's super cool regardless, I think obviously most of the predators are re-decos of another, we can't expect much more and it's fine not to , there are only so many predators that are not liberal fantasy creations to draw influence from

I mean I know most Predators are, but this might be just that same fig
Still want this new one though

My feeling is despite the outcry from certain pockets of the fandom, the human figures in general really don't sell as well for them as the Predator's themselves do.
I find it maddening to think that you're exactly right!...it's, well to my mind anyway, the only logical reason why we don't yet see Dutch's strike team, more marines from Aliens, etc... 'personal feelings aside, the sales #'s just aren't there.....And they should be! The humans are as vital a part of these classics as the amazingly designed creatures... ah well, We do live in agewhere "collector focused" figures aren'tunheard of, so maybe one day....shoot, if NECA can give me a Batman vs. Predator set, (no way did I think that would ever happen), perhaps anything is possible!

It's a good figure, I like it.. but it also isn't as cool as this, I need them both

Damn, you just gave me a present idea for my nerdy friends. Gotta search some store on the European part.
