i was on the fence but picked up the SE version, lined up for 2.5 hours at secret base

The only thing that is making me not put down a PO for this figure is the amount of red they put in the armour. If it was more metallic, darker or even neutral colours I would have been on board but the whole red armour really turns me off getting this

All that red totally ruined this look

I’d prefer a darker red but I already PO’d it after realizing it was a bit brighter but it’s still ok for me, and it’s not really bright as it does in photos.

I would have preferred that too or an even dark brown/ metallic black but I guess that would be too similar to the first release. Still does look great but that red is just steering me further away than getting this which kinda sucks cause the sculpt and face looks amazeballs

above all i prefer this over the original colours, when this came out I didn't know about the OG and it put me off when I found out but still in the end i went ahead with it.

I think if it wasn't so stylised with bright, almost cartoony colours, I'd be more interested. Just too damn red. With a very stylised face. Looks better with the mask on, but the red is too much.
The original version looks more appealing.
I'm going to resist the urge to buy any new HT Preds in this instance.

Even resisting to buy JH 2.0 when they announce it?

No I mean this specific figure. With HT suddenly doing Pred figures again, it's tempting to get any they produce. I meant that I'll resist that urge when it comes to his samurai Pred figure.
EDIT: if the JH 2.0 turns out to be a tweaked "classic" from Predators, like the one we've seen so far, I won't be getting it.
