NECA announced their upcoming “Ultimate Alpha Predator” action figure earlier this year, an original creature creation that will be the company’s landmark 100th Predator figure. Alpha Predator is “the very first original design and concept by NECA,” and one of the coolest things about it is that it includes the infamous unused original Predator mask!
NECA explains, “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.”
This week we’ve learned that NECA’s “Alpha Predator” is set to become a playable character in IllFonic and Sony’s new asymmetric multiplayer game Predator: Hunting Grounds!
“The initial run of the Alpha Predator action figure in the US will see a limited release, with each box including a DLC code. Players on the PS4 system can redeem the code online to unlock the Alpha Predator in-game.”
“We have been working closely with the great team at IllFonic. When the opportunity presented itself to allow for the inclusion of Alpha Predator into the game we jumped at the chance. It’s so gratifying to see our original action figure design come to life as a playable character in the game. The whole NECA studio was elated to see the character model and we cannot wait to play as Alpha this Summer,” said NECA’s Randy Falk.
It’s hunt or be hunted in Hunting Grounds, which allows you to play as part of a 4 person Fireteam, completing missions before the Predator finds you, or as the Predator itself.
