[Sachiel]

Designed by Takayuki Takeya

strange choise. original alien, but elf predator.

 

[RIDDICK]

Takayuki Takeya? Eww...

 

[illproxy]

duuuude a takaya designed figma pred? sold can go next to my HT samurai pred by takaya.

 

[Ce Ilhuicamina]

A match made in heaven. Definitely a buy!

 

[RIDDICK]

hard to wrap my brain around it

Still not as dumb and tasteless as this tho:

Even tho both are designed by the same guy.

 

[illproxy]

nada wrong with other artists doin their ver of predators, is like MCU vs Comic styles IMO. he has doen many vers over the yrs i think, aliens also. garage type kits and statues.


oooo dig that very not-figma style ab crunch on the pred!

I bet my hat that these wee Xenomorphs will have way better articulation than the latest attempt by HT.

 

[burtial]

I'm always in for another decent Xeno

everything has better articulation than HT's alien.
well, except for garden gnomes popular in "Props / statues" section.

What size are these? 1/12? Because if that's the case I'm in for the Alien. Always loved Takeya's Alien design.

What size are these? 1/12?

if all Figma figures are in the same scale...

unknown / Figma / Neca / McFarlane.

The alien looks nice.
Not as extreme as the Takeya statues I've seen, though.

 

[ebor]

I like both. Don't collect figma, but I have seen some in person and they look pretty cool, and very articulated.

 

[Alice]

if all Figma figures are in the same scale...

That sucks. Oh well. Might still get it if it's not too expensive.

I passed on the MonsterArts Big Chap because I didn't like the skull but I may get this one.

 

[mandoba72]

I bought Monsterarts Big Chap and then sold it, as unlike the Monsterarts Predators - the Alien was underscale. It max at the height around 6 inches when it should have been 7 inch like the Predator. Only the Monsterarts AVP alien was scaled more accurately

Yeah, that is rather tasteless... that wasn't in any of the movies, right? I didn't know Hot Toys was just making up Predators at this point. Wonder when they'll maike a white male predator complete with briefcase?

Tasteless? This is based on Takayuki Takeiya’s artistic interpretations of the Predator. Takeiya is an extremely talented Japanese artist and figure sculptor and has been licensed by Fox to do Predator art and has quite a few great pieces. Hot Toys tried an Artist Series of figure’s and the Samurai Predator was one of them.

I suggest you all do some research, there’s some great design work OUTSIDE of the Predator movies. The diversity is GOOD for the franchise and helps it hit a wider audience.

That Samurai Predator is also highly sought after and goes for $700+ on eBay... I’m surprised Hot Toys hasn’t done another one yet.

Agreed. I love this samurai design, it fits the honorable warrior theme of the Predator very well. Hopefully it scales with the Movie Realization samurai line so I can have Predator vs Darth Maul hah!

Let me just say we have different tastes then, which is really okay (despite the number of arguments that pop up here on SSF) - it's just not my thing. If a non-Japanese artist had done it, I'm sure someone would be saying it's tasteless AND racist... you know how PC has invaded so you can't say anything without offending someone. So, not my thing, I'll leave it at that. Better?

Is the whole Star Wars samurai line tasteless? Or is this tasteless just because of the cut up alien?
