PREORDER - Predator: Badlands - Thia & Bud figure, Ultimate

Thia & Bud come from Predator: Badlands, a hostile science-fiction setting where survival, hunting, and confrontation with the unknown appear to define the atmosphere. This official 18 cm set by NECA, part of the Ultimate line, takes an accessory-focused approach with several interchangeable parts that allow different display setups around the two characters. The release combines a human-like figure with equipment and a smaller creature companion in a format clearly designed for posing and customization.

This version mainly highlights the complementarity between the two characters through a set that seems built around interaction, changing expressions, and modular presentation. The Ultimate format fits that idea well, since it allows multiple attitudes and emphasizes different sides of the duo depending on the chosen setup. Even without a full scenic base, the figure still keeps strong display presence thanks to the variety of included parts, which suggest a character ready to adapt to an unstable environment or a tense confrontation.

Visually, the main figure shows a blond character in a light outfit, with a beige jacket, dark inner top, technical-looking pants, and one black arm that immediately creates a strong contrast. Several interchangeable face plates are visible with different expressions, along with extra parts including a light-colored weapon and additional hands. Beside this, Bud appears as a small blue-green creature with a compact body, long arms, large hands, a rounded head, and multiple alternate faces with different expressions. Other extra parts can also be seen, including a brown piece that suggests bindings or root-like material, as well as additional matching components. The whole set is designed for varied display on a shelf or in a showcase, with strong pose potential despite the compact scale.
