Following the reveal of their SDCC Exclusive Gizmo (see HERE (https://www.figures.com/forums/news/13153-san-diego-comic-con-exclusive-gremlin.html)), NECA provides a look at an exclusive from the Predator camp: PREDATOR w/ "GORT" MASK.

This figure stars a new left hand and bloody severed spine accessory. What makes this exclusive from the Gort figure that will be released later on in the standard series is that it features the first Predator 1 movie body. The story goes that the Gort mask was initially to be the mask worn by the original Predator. This was obviously changed to the classic bio-helmet we all know and love. The Gort mask design was eventually used at the end of Predator 2, however a newly designed body was used in that scene.

So in a nutshell:

* SDCC Exclusive = Predator 1 Body + Gort Mask + Bonus Accessories

* Standard Release = Predator 2 Body + Gort Mask

Get it? Got it? Good.
