Sure alot of it is repaints but for the most part there isn't all that much variance to begin with (That and it's no worse than Hasbro using that same old bucky cap body for every other figure). Just remember of all companies to tackle these franchises (regardless of scale) NECA has by far gone the furthest. The AVP:R lineup is otherwise a small lineup so can be knocked out in a single wave. That is assuming they ignore the Aliens 30th anniversary which would be a good opportunity to give us Drake. Here's hoping they pull of a miracle and give us Ash and/or Dallas, Lambert and Kane with regular costumes.ĪVP:R crosses both franchises so is likely being pushed into a year with nothing else going on. The alien lineup so far includes four figures two of which (Brett and Parker) are entirely new releases. Īdd to that the Alien 40th lineup and it looks like the Alien/s quota is also filled. Then it also looks like they may do Predator Hunting grounds figures. Heck if we're lucky they may even give us a Harrigan. I for one am keen to get a replacement Shaman. This is also good for folks that missed out on the first run. double jointed elbows secondary heads etc. While these are going to be rehashed predators they are likely going to feature a bunch of articulation improvements i.e. That's going to fill the entire years worth of Predators. I imagine this year they're intending to give us a Predator 2 30th anniversary lineup (that's 11 predators). The Alien 40th collection should have dropped in 2019 but instead got pushed back to 2020 and so on. The figures from The Predator and Covenant were given priority over other figures to better align with releases.

The Capcom AVP figures were meant to drop in 2018 but got pushed back to 2019. Combine that with anniversaries and new movies and you have the perfect storm for delays.Īt one point we were getting 10+ Predators and 10+ Aliens per year then figures started getting delayed. Wolf was teased a while back but since then they've had a bunch of factory related problems which have held up their Alien and Predator lines. Just look at all the other stuff they teased and released last year i.e. For the most part figures are released within 12 months of an initial tease. Some of y'all are sounding a little entitled.
