I am really on the fence about getting this one, I guess it'll depend on the price point but I would assume its gonna be the same as feral which is $400
It’s all up to preference but the first release of this over 10 years ago has a lot of presence and some consider it to be their favourite figure.

I missed out on that figure as I was much younger then and didn’t have the funds to buy that figure so I’m going to pull the trigger on this one so I don’t miss out again.

Funny thing is I was watching predator recently and I had an impulsive moment to buy a Predator figure and I was so close to getting the first release for $1300 AUD but I stopped myself just telling myself to wait for the JH 2.0 that should be revealed soon enough. God am I happy I did that ahahaha

I was seeing the original thread for the samurai predator going off a couple weeks back and contemplated it then and surprisingly that is one of the most popular predator threads, so I see what you're saying. I can relate I have been in and out of collecting for 10 years now and have missed on some awesome ones recently so I also feel that pull to just get it and seeing.

thats crazy though 1300 AUD for that guy what a save to wait a couple days!
 
Comparing promo pics side by side. The new one is growing on me.

This.
This will be the main reason for me to own this beastly beauty.

The old one looks like the good guy, and the new one looks like the villain who is a much stronger, evil berserk version.
 
2780 HKD is little less than $358 USD.
I hope around that price on SS
 
SS always has around 25% markup on HT.... these are essentially imports. There's no way it'll be HKD pricing.
 
I think after seeing a teaser of the comic book venom this guy is no longer getting a PO from me. Jungle Hunter 2.0 is going to be the one that scratches my itch for a Predator figure
 
The authorized dealer here does not offer the SE (but do so for Doom and Spidey). Most likely will have to get the regular :huh

I will probably get Romulus Alien and find some japanese theme diorama for it and display them together.
 
Really contemplated the special edition on sideshow but ultimately decided to wait for jungle hunter.
That’s what happened to me tbh. Plus I want to buy the new Xenomorph and comic Venom figure that got teased so I’ll just wait for the Jungle Hunter 2.0 as that’s the predator I really want instead of this one. I think me wanting this Predator was more impulse buying instead of what I really wanted and can spare the space for
 
I thought this was a for sure buy because of the cool factor by itself, but the price + everything else getting teased right now is making it tough. Might have to see how wounded the bank account feels after getting Doom and Amazing Spider, plus any of the basically 17 things they just previewed that I've been wanting for years.
 
Price on this seems ridiculous to me. Isn’t it basically just a repaint of a 10 year old figure?
My thoughts exactly, this is not a $430 figure to me. I love that the predator line is getting some love again but I would really like to see something other than a repaint to justify the price point. Especially with Inart dropping Legolas and a Nazgul I gotta draw the line somewhere
