NECA's new Predator Badlands set of Thia and Bud, first seen at New York Toy Fair 2026, has been revealed in full. The set, an accessory pack of sorts, works with the Dek Predator figure to replicate scenes from Predator Badlands.



In the pack, you get a figure of Thia, minus her legs, with three different head sculpts. THere is also an alternative hand, a Pulse rifle, and the rope cradle that is used to have her secured on the Ultimate Dek figure's back. Bud also has three head options and comes with two pieces of bone bison meat.


The set is a general release at NECA stockists and is due for release in Quarter 4 (October - December) of 2026. We've updated the entry for Thia & Bud on our extensive NECA Collector Database



From the 2025 film Predator: Badlands by director Dan Trachtenberg! Set in the future on a remote planet, a young Predator, outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary. His newfound companions Thia and Bud join Dek in NECA’s Predator: Badlands 7-inch scale action figure line. Thia, the torn-in-half Weyland-Yutani synthetic, features vine straps which can attach to NECA’s Ultimate Dek action figure (sold separately) as he carries her around the planet Genna. Thia also includes interchangeable heads and hands, and a synth rifle. Bud is a fully articulated action figure with a posable tail, interchangeable heads and hands, and bone bison meat. This companion set is a must-have for the Predator: Badlands collection, completing the trio of unlikely allies. Comes in collector-friendly window box packaging.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
