I thought it was fundamentally the same Pred though?

These two photos should answer your question...

Worst Pred on film from both AVP movies and Predators.

Compare it to KPH's suit from 26 years ago:

It's like what we were saying the other day about the JP T-Rex FX having never being bettered since. The same applies here.

YES!

KPH was irreplaceable a the Predator. They all try to emulate his little quips in the suit but it's all shoddy knockoffs. And as for the suit, it looked like it was real, and alive. The Classic in Predators really looks awful and so ******* artificial. The 87 suit was the best since it looked like it was aged, dirty and not all pampered like the other preds.

YES!The Classic in Predators really looks awful and so ******* artificial.

Hiring a small(er) actor was their first fatal error. After that messing up the mandibles and everything else wrong with the suit happened.

It was such a ****ty deal about KPH dying, especially so young. I always give the "Making of" the first film every so often. He seemed like such a sweet man.

And they overlooked Ian Whyte too.

Well Classic is based off Predators so they still can do another that is accurate to the 87 film.

Supposedly they're going to do a 1/4 original Predator and Dutch. This was merely announced two years ago so I'm still waiting.

That feels like so long ago that they announced it that it felt like it didn't even happen

I'd really like a shot at picking up a 1/6 2.0 Dutch.

this probably already came up, but why is the Grid Alien's head included in the base?

also, is ANYONE going to display this without the Bio mask?

I saw the head sculpt and just thought, why even bother?

To anyone who's been collecting longer than I have... how long will this take to go up for pre-order?

Looks like he may be closer than I thought. Those pics are awesome, I cant wait for this guy. I wish this line moved as fast as ironman. I missed the pred craz when it first happened and seeing them is what got me started collecting. Now I have preds and ironmen galore. Bring on the next hunter!

Without spending a few hours, anyone got a pic of the new AvX Predators beside a human 1/6 fig?

Also, what makes this one Celtic? The base? Sorry I'm new to the Pred extended verse.

It's not expanded, it's AVP (though some people don't consider it canon). The mask, netcaster gauntlet on his left arm, and lack of abdominal armor differentiate him from Scar.

Thanks. After looking at it some more I remember him from the net shot at the Alien. Not the armor, but I'm guessing he's from the movie.

I've seen the AVP is considered its own universe. Are the Predator Omnibus books canon, and, any good?

Be nice to see the AVP ones beside the other Predators in the line.
