In collaboration with 20th Century Studios, and game developer IllFonic,Â the National Entertainment Collectibles Association (NECA) today announced the Alpha Predator, an original design by the toy company, as a playable class inÂ Predator: Hunting GroundsÂ for the PS4â„¢ system. The initial run of the Alpha Predator action figure in the US will see a limited release, with each box including a downloadable content (DLC) code.

Complete with a backstory to fit in with the lore, the Alpha Predator commemorates the 100thÂ action figure release in the toy manufacturer“sÂ PredatorÂ line.Â “We have been working closely with the great team at IllFonic. When the opportunity presented itself to allow for the inclusion of Alpha Predator into the game we jumped at the chance. It“s so gratifying to see our original action figure design come to life as a playable character in the game. The whole NECA studio was elated to see the character model and we cannot wait to play as Alpha this Summer”“ said Randy Falk, NECA Director of Product Development.
