"Cleaner" or "Lost"? Which to buy??

[FlyAndFight]

Getting ready to take the Predator plunge and purchase my first Predator figure.

I am leaning towards the "Cleaner" Predator as my first Predator figure. He seems to come with a ton of cool gear and items, including the shoulder cannon, which I really wanted. Price is a big factor as well. But I've read some of your reviews regarding the "Lost" Predator and they have been positive.

General Question: If you had to choose between the "Cleaner" and the "Lost" Predator, which version would you choose and why?

Appreciate your opinions. Thanks.

P.S. Only barely have funds for just "one"...

I'd lean towards the Cleaner... more screen time and its a really great figure (especially if you get the exclusive version with chestburster). Lost is very cool and from a better movie, but with like 10 seconds in the background not one on my must have list.

Don't buy either.

First off, you will want more. Which leads to spending a bunch more in this line.

Secondly, they are a pain to assemble and are very fragile.

Just my feelings on these figures.

Or, wait for the P1 (if you will only have one)... that will be the Predator to own

I agree with this. If you must own one- this will be the one.

Even I plan on getting the P1 Predator and I haven't picked up a single Pred yet. Also waiting on the Alien1 Alien.

Wolf is one baddass predator. I got V1 and SS Ex. Wolf Cleaner. The Wolf is what got me started in the 12 inch line. I would say cleaner, but it's your call.

I have the Cleaner already, which is a great figure, but I tend to like more of Original/Different characters. I would say Lost Pred. This Fig as a whole looks bad ass, I think more than Wolf. Also for some reason I prefer the base body they use for Lost than the skinny, a bit shorter body they use for Wolf. I think they did his body a little too skinny. Anyways, I say Lost but I do have to agree there is a very good chance you may get hooked on collecting these guys, so if your a huge fan of part 1, then you should wait.

get both if you can
wolf is great , but lost looks awasome as well
i think each one is diferente enough to pick the one you like best

wolf pred:
pros - looks totally different from any other pred. has cool accessories.
cons - you'd be spending around $170 on merchandise from AvP-R. AvP-R was horrible.

lost pred:
pros - looks awesome. has cool accessories. the whole lost clan mystique. Predator 2 was a decent movie.
cons - had like 10 seconds of screen time.


winner - lost pred.

Who cares about the movie Main, the figs just look awesome...

I seriously thought you were looking to buy DVD sets when I read the Subject!

 

[AVP99]

get both.........

 

[DarthTrafford]

I say Cleaner. He's more readily available now and a lot cooler. I do have Lost on the way though.
:chew

 

[dalekidea]

if its your first one i would go for the cleaner!

BUT dont get me wrong i do think the lost predator is much cooler looking and from by far a better movie and is kick ass, but the cleaner has more assories which are great for your first one

I'd prefer Wolf, he's just so bad ass, you can't go wrong with him. You'd probably also save about $30-40 buying Cleaner as well, $50 is you buy from BadMoon

 

[Randysgut]

wolf all the way

Thanks for the feedback, guys! Truly appreciated.

I think the consensus was pretty much split between the two.

I definitely will want the Predator "1" when it's released. (as well as an original Alien) But I was hoping to get one of these Preds as well. I'm still really leaning towards the Cleaner, though. It's got the shoulder canon which I think is too freakin' cool. Plus, the extra gear is a huge plus. I checked Sideshow earlier today for their Exclusive but it's only available in the EU... US is apparently sold out. I think that Alien burster is a sweet addition and a must-have.

BadMoon, that is a nice deal and I'll keep your offer in mind as well.

Thanks again, fellow Freaks!
