Hot Toys – MMS126 - Predator 2: Guardian Predator(2010 Toy Fairs Exc) spec

[Karatka]

Here's a couple qucik shots of my gurdain Pred with the Bio he should have come with. Gort is cool but not the right paint sceam.

Looking good there! I'm glad I'm not the only one considering that option. All I need is a spare P1 head to put the Gort mask on as well...

 

[Russell1982]

Looks great. I posted something similar when guardian was first announced, just stating that it looks like they used the Ram paint scheme. It looks like they did the same thing they did with Lost, Borg with Boar mask, and this one; Ram with Gort mask. Just a shame Guardian isnt more available, would be great to pick up another to customize.

P2 was fully loaded. Who knows where he stored his spear!?
Some say he was weak for running back to home base, but I always though he didn't want his body to fall into human hands.... being on his last legs and all. I guess that's the main reason for the wrist bomb. (which he'd lost)

Yeah the whole running away argument doesn't make sense to me. The P1 ran away at least twice and he wasn't even injured.

P2 takes on multiple armed combatants all at once what, FOUR times, in P2 while the P1 only attacked isolated members of Dutch's team. Yeah you can argue that Dutch's boys were highly trained but a gun is lethal no matter who uses it.

P1 was perhaps more sensible, but I maintain that P2 owns him if it comes to a hand-to-hand fight.

How much was the book?

Try to get the one signed by Stan Winston, I bought mine at Amazon as well a few months ago......

I've watched P2 about 5 times in the past few weeks after not seeing it for years and it's starting to grow on me again. It's not P1 but it's not AVP:R either.

 

[prefused]

I was always a little disappointed by the fight Dutch put up tbh. He tried to hit the Predator with a tree branch and threw one punch and that was it. I thought he could have done more.

i don't think there's much else he could do.
that predator had about 2ft and probably 100lbs on him. kinda like wrestling a bear... with wrist blades.

UPS guy was never here today---I will be pissed if it says attempted

I had similar problems yesterday when it was out for delivery. They never showed (ran out of time I guess) and attempted redelivery today. No one was home. Instead, they were going to make a 2nd attempt on Monday. I said screw it...I went to the UPS site and I'm going to pick it up on Monday instead at UPS about 20 minutes from my house. I can't wait to get this fig...

 

[JacktheRipper]

Ski, I actually agree with you here.

Although I still prefer P2 to AVP, it just doesn't seem right an old cop taking down a Pred

Why does everyone keep labeling Glover as "old?" I mean he wasn't a spring chicken at 44 when he filmed P2, but that's only four years older than Arnold.

 

[a-dev]

And Glover is a big man too if I'm not mistaken..or at least thats what she said. Oh dear did I really just use that joke.

 

[Awesome]

I have no plans to buy this but it is a shame that there are 42 of these on ebay with bs prices when there are some collectors who would buy this at the regular price and never part with it.

yep, it sucks. but, those parasites on ebay only exist because some collectors enable them.

vicious circle.

And seriously pissed off with a heavy desire to collect your skull. Yea Predator FTW...eh...if it wasn't for that log that is. He lost.

Arnold is Mr. Universe. Arnold is Commando. Arnold is the Terminator, 3 times. He was freakin' Hercules! Danny Glover was that black guy in Lethal Weapon that kept saying how he was too old for this sh**. He was on the verge of retirement and got trapped on the toilet with a bomb. Though they are 4 years apart, I think their rolls define who they are.
Junior never happened...it's a figment of everyone's imagination. Just thought I'd throw that in because someone will bring it up.

I think even after the dust settles the price will still stabilize around the 300's. Better than $6-700 I guess. Eh don't care. I got mine and most guys here got theirs too.

P2's only mistake was one moment of overconfident stupidity in not disarming Harrigan of the cutting disc. Otherwise he had the fight won. As for why he was so laboured and in difficulty? He'd been shot multiple times and had his arm cut off, totally understandable. I don't find anything implausible about it.

P2 would own the chicken_____ sniper P1 in an all-out one-on-one cagefight!

Are kidding or did I miss something? Are you guys literaly analizing a movie that was written and acted out? You realize it was a movie and it had to end some way since it had already gone 1.5 hrs so they wrote in a thing called a script that the p2 Predator was a little more cocky then P1. Its called charactor attributes. P1 was a sniper who picked one by one. P2 just jumped in the middle and dooked it out. He ran because Glover pushed his butt over the edge instead of spearing him with his own spear. He had nowhere to go but down so he was going to blow his butt up not to be seen. His arm got cut off so he ran to base so he wouldnt get caught. Glover being old..... I dont even know what to say to that........maybe in the movie he played a 32 year old ex seal that was now a cop??? If you are 12, excuse me for interrupting, carry on.....

Wow, HT's Facebook is filled with hatred with those who failed to secure this at the ani-com.

Wonder if ebay prices will start crawling up now.

Yup. I read posts of scalpers cleaning out inventory with 20 of their friends. Thank god for Sideshow. No sleeping bags required.

I've had my own delivery problems as well. I bought this guy off ebay from a guy advertising free express priority mail. The lieing crook then sent it using Parcel post, which is slow as molasses. I payed for the figure in full last thursday, and if the figure isn't here by monday I'm contacting ebay about the false advertisement, and I'm writing buddy one hell of a message. I'm hitting up his feedback with some negativity too. It would have been one thing if he was honest about the shipping method, but to advertise one method, and then try to slide under the radar with another is completely dishonest. I would have bought the figure elsewhere had I known. If this was some 50 dollar Transformer coming from bbts, I wouldn't be so pissed or worried, but everyone here can probably attest to how fragile these boxes can be, let alone the figure inside. Hell, if it was a TF coming from bbts, it would have been here this past wednesday because bbts and UPS are good at what they do...effin' United States Postal service...what a joke. Ahhhh I just want my predator !!!!

Since this thread seems the most active I'll ask this here.

Does anyone know if the P2 bio will fit on a P1 head? Since I'll never own a BD P2 (or even a reg P2), I figure I'll get a recast P2 bio, repaint it (or have someone else paint it) darker colors, and put it on my Guardian. However, if it won't fit then I'll have to buy a Lost Predator head off of eBay and paint that as well, but they're no cheaper than $50. On top of $30 for the bio I wouldn't be able to afford that right now if I had to get both.

Crawling up from what, $600?! Hot Toys could bake a cake with the amount of egg they've had on their face lately. They need to step up their management game or else its all going to get much much worse.
