NECA has been knocking it out of the park each and every time with their 8-bit figures (well, actually with all of their figures, but these NES-inspired toys are especially sweet). We’ve seen Jason, Freddy and Robocop get the treatment… and now it’s Predator’s turn! That’s right, the company just recently announced that an 8-Bit Predator is hitting shelves this spring. Your first look is below; I’m guessing supplies won’t last long when this bad boy does arrive.

In addition, the toy company is releasing classic PLANET OF THE APES figures in the summer, including Dr. Zauis, Cornelius and a Soldier Ape – the latter two of which you can see below. These might make their debut alongside NECA’s DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES figures, which we previewed for you HERE.
