What the hell. You're blowing my mind right now.
Hot Toys Predator: Jungle Hunter 2.0

Help Support Collector Freaks Forum:
I think it's something we all felt the effect of, but couldn't place. I didn't consciously realize what it was until Prime 1 recreated that expression.
Normally I'm not a fan of companies using other collectibles as reference (and Prime 1's Jungle Predator is a bit too stocky from some angles), but the benchmark for portrait accuracy was definitely raised here. They even picked up on the mandible fangs overlapping. The top left (our left) tucked behind the bottom-left. The bottom-right pointing inward. When this bust first released, it was thought to be a QC error!
I'm pretty sure HT make these things from memory. Like, they'll look at a ton of ref, then burn it all and make the figure based on what they can remember it looking like.
There's no way they do side by side comparisons over every inch of these figures.

They should 100% copy the Prime 1 Studio stuff. They'd still get it wrong in all kinds of ways but it'd be 90% closer than a repainted Classic Predator

Woah I've never noticed that. I've never even really clocked the delineation between KPH's face and the mask before that still.

Well I’ll be.
Good eye.
One of them is, anyway.

I don't think they're going to release anything. They just want us to know they still have the rights and they COULD. They're sick of all us gnats buzzing around requesting Aliens and Predator and Terminator and they just want to remind us that Hot Toys giveth and Hot Toys taketh away.

Be optimistic my friend, Hot Toys has been pulling random stuff out of their ass lately so hopefully this is one of them

I suspect like the T-800 they are testing the waters and waiting to see what the response is on here and the other 1/6 groups. I'd say from the vigorous debate that if they invest in proper upgrades both figures would be a huge success for the company. Plus if they ignore too long, Inart will step in and capitalise so it's as simple as that.
InArt are always shooting Disney properties down so I don't think they'll be doing Predators soon.
Maybe its a good thing this and the Terminator hasn't been announced yet. Probably developing some new features or making them look better

This is true. Most of this stuff has been coming from their ass... like a lot of hot air. Silent but deadly. Like the Predator himself.Be optimistic my friend, Hot Toys has been pulling random stuff out of their ass lately so hopefully this is one of them
...I think that means they'll release it.
Spiderman is the new Iron Man, so Deadpool is the new Spiderman and Wolverine is the new Deadpool
Wheres my Predator figures?

I wish they'd reissue City Hunter.
While I love the first Predator film and hold it as the best of the franchise, I've always found JH to look the most boring in figure form.
I'm not sure why, as in the film he looks great but I have avoided every single figure of any scale when it comes to JH.
