GOOD SMILE COMPANY, the Japanese manufacturer behind the popular "Nendoroid" figure series, has announced what might be the ugliest (in the best way!) addition to the Nendoroid lineup yet. But hey, there's beauty in beauty, and pride in ugliness! Get ready, collectors, for the new Nendoroid Predator, based on the iconic "Predator" film series! It's slated for release in November 2022.
Standing approximately 10 cm tall, this Nendoroid Predator embraces a super-deformed (SD) aesthetic, a stark departure from the hyper-realistic interpretations we've seen from other manufacturers. It offers a fresh and unique take on the iconic hunter. While its skin is smoothed out to match the adorable chibi design, the head sculpt and dreadlocks still boast fantastic accuracy and intricate detailing. The figure can be displayed in two states: helmeted or unmasked in a roaring pose. Thanks to its full articulation and included accessories like the "Wrist Blades," "Shoulder Plasma Caster," "Wrist Computer," and a "Skull + Spine" trophy, fans can recreate all sorts of fun and dynamic scenes! Are you ready for this adorable (yet still terrifying) new style, Predator fans?
▼ The spine accessory is hilariously chunky and cute, completely bloodless, and definitely not scary at all!
