Huh. Well, that's something you don't see every day.
Earlier this afternoon, NECA announced their new line of PREDATOR action figures, including Hornhead and Broken Tusk. But more interesting is the inclusion of Machiko, Neca's first ever female Predator figure.
Now while there have been female Predators (or Yautja if you wanna be a huge nerd about it) within the lore of the property overall – I'm looking at you Big Mama – we have never seen one like this. This new Predator doesn't seem to be a Yautja at all. She seems to be from another, more humanoid race…
Okay, this nerd rant about action figures is getting a little too much for me. If I ever want to get laid again, I need to go find something more Stallone to get up to. I think I'll go lift some weights. And then re-read my Big Mama comics.
New PREDATOR Action Figures Rundown via NECA:
NECA’s longest running action figure line continues with an entire series dedicated to Dark Horse Comics Predators! Series 18 features three action figure debuts that are some of the most requested by fans: Hornhead, Broken Tusk and our first female Predator, Machiko!
Hornhead made his first appearance in Predator: Life & Death, and is a great companion piece to the Ultimate Ahab Predator, also from the currently running comics. He utilizes the new Ultimate Predator body, and comes with a removable mask and sword accessory that fits in a sheath on his back. Broken Tusk originates in the classic 1990s Aliens vs Predator comics, and his epic story arc also includes Machiko Noguchi, a human colonist who performs the incredible feat of earning his respect and joining his tribe. Broken Tusk utilizes the new Ultimate Predator body and comes with gun and bladed weapon that measures over 12” in length! Machiko has a removable mask, extra interchangeable hands, and rifle accessory.
We’ve paid close attention to detail to make these as accurate to the comics as possible. Hornhead and Broken Tusk stand 8” tall; Machiko stands 6.5” tall. Each has between 25 and 30 points of articulation. Blister card packaging.
These new toys are set to hit the streets this November!
You would. You so totally would.
