Even Though He Was Cut from ‘The Predator,’ NECA Has Turned “Emissary Predator” into an Action Figure
We told you recently that two “Emissary Predators” were ultimately cut out of Shane Black’s The Predator, despite scenes involving them being shot by Black. The two “Emissary Predators” were seemingly going to join forces with the humans to take down the “Ultimate Predator,” but that entire portion of the film was left on the cutting room floor.
In spite of their removal, NECA has gone ahead and made an Emissary Predator action figure, which they’ve just revealed today. This bad boy is decked out in camo fighting gear!
NECA explains, “Although their scenes were deleted from the final cut of the movie, the Emissary Predators were military Predators who fought alongside the Loonies.”
“Emissary #1 stands over 8” tall and features 30 points of articulation. Includes interchangeable masked and unmasked heads, 2 pairs of hands, and rifle accessory. Comes in collector-friendly deluxe window box packaging with opening flap.”
The figure is expected to release in November 2018.

LEGO Officially Reveals ‘The X-Files’ Set Featuring 1,478 Pieces Plus Mulder & Scully Mini Figures!
LEGO recently tasked fans with building their own nostalgic tributes to the 1990s as part of the Build Your Nostalgia – 90s Throwback challenge, with the winning build being turned into an official LEGO Ideas set in the future. The winner of the challenge? A set based on “The X-Files,” and the official set is now being released by LEGO later this Summer!
The LEGO Ideas “The X-Files” set recreates iconic moments from the series, centered on a detailed build of Fox Mulder’s office, paired with a forest clearing scene and a hovering UFO.
The 1,478-piece “X-Files” LEGO set includes 8 minifigures, featuring Fox Mulder, Dana Scully, Walter Skinner, Mr. X, Alex Krycek, Carl Busch, The Flukeman and a grey alien.
The LEGO “X-Files” set ($199.99) will be available to all on August 4, 2026.
LEGO Insiders get Early Access on August 1, 2026.
To mark the reveal, Gillian Anderson stars in a cinematic mini-film tribute to the beloved series. With a nod to FBI Special Agent Dana Scully, Anderson is drawn into an investigation that gradually leads her to uncover the LEGO set itself, piece by piece – bringing the world of “The X-Files” into brick-built form for the fans. Check out the LEGO reveal video below!
“Seeing myself in minifigure form is both surreal and oddly delightful – there’s something very charming about being miniaturised,” Gillian Anderson said in a statement. “The whole set is a brilliant celebration of The X-Files which I hope fans enjoy revisiting in this way – I know I can’t wait to put tiny Scully on my shelf.”
The LEGO Ideas build was originally built and submitted by fan Brent Waller.
“I was obsessed with X-Files from the moment I saw it in the ’90s. I originally built Mulder’s office back in 2014 while rewatching the series, and it grew from there as a personal project,” Waller said. “I wanted to combine nostalgia, detail and storytelling to capture the atmosphere of the show – from Mulder’s office to the forest and UFO encounter. I’m thrilled to see it become an official set and hope it resonates with both long-time fans and new audiences.”
