Check Out NECA’s Ultimate Ahab Predator Toy!
One of the most badass Predators of all is getting NECA’s “Ultimate” treatment.
Back in 2014, NECA put an action figure of the so-called Ahab Predator up for grabs at the San Diego Comic-Con. The toy was exclusive to the event, but those who missed out will be happy to hear that the company has decided to bring Ahab Predator back for an “Ultimate Edition” figure that they just unveiled today.
Who is Ahab Predator, you ask? A character prominently featured in Dark Horse comic books such as Alien vs. Predator: Fire and Stone and Prometheus: Life and Death, Ahab is a badass Yautja Elder who is known for his hunting skills, having taken trophies from numerous worlds and gaining many scars in the process. Fascinated with the Engineers, Ahab ends up tracking one down and killing it, taking the superior beings skull, spinal column, and high-tech weapon as trophies.
NECA’s upcoming Ultimate Ahab figure, well, it includes all those trophies. The figure, adorned in a red cape, comes complete with an Engineer gun, a Predator spear, and yes, even the skull and spinal column of the poor Engineer who crossed paths with Ahab on that unlucky day.
Check out the upcoming figure below!
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
