Re: Hong Kong Ani-Com 2011: Hot Toys SAMURAI PREDATOR (Collectible Statue)

You're insane. Not only is there nothing that says it's a statue but there's a damn placard in front of it say it's a 1/6 scale figure and in the high resolution pic you can very very easily see all the joints including the left wrist joint.
 
Re: Hong Kong Ani-Com 2011: Hot Toys SAMURAI PREDATOR (Collectible Statue)

its not a statue. its a figure something from Mcfarlane/Spawn would do.

...and, see the AVP logo. i guess, re-making the AVP preds was waaaaaay off target. :lecture
 
Re: Hong Kong Ani-Com 2011: Hot Toys SAMURAI PREDATOR (Collectible Statue)

It is one of the coolest and original pred designs I've ever seen. I would think you guys could at least give it props for its originality and stepping outside of the box a little. Who cares if its a statue or not, it's something new and different and is a pretty cool overall concept.
 
Re: Hong Kong Ani-Com 2011: Hot Toys SAMURAI PREDATOR (Collectible Statue)

There's a lot of really clever flourishes and details too. Like how the mandibles stick out of the mask itself. Something I've never seen before and it looks really cool. I also love the antique bronze finish everything has and the claws are really cool both in function and design.

Something I only noticed in the high res pic, he also has a cache of Alien tongues hanging off his belt in the back.

Originality? Gummy worm Predlocks and Samurai armor?

Yeah.. Okay...

P1, P2... Every Predator design we've seen is more original than this.
I mean, come on. You can buy Gummy Worms for how much? And after that, they just took scaled down Samurai armor and threw it on him...

You either love or hate the concept Predator stuff. I hate it, because I've been a fan since the first movie hit the theaters, and to me none of that garbage is Predator. No doubt the stuff will sale, but only because it has the Predator tag on it. As long as HT finishes everything it can with the Pred movie licenses, I'll be happy. Except for AVP. Those things weren't Predator, either!

See, I have no attachment to the Predator franchise.

These just look like amazing pieces of art with kick-ass character design to me. :)

Sorry :( Only movie with Preds in it that was complete garbage. Their designs were awful, and that dude went against way too many rules with his script. After all the years of waiting for that movie to be made, with all the cool story lines put out in video games and comic books, it was beyond a tremendous let down for me :monkey2:monkey2

I saw you've been gone a while, so you more than likely missed my post earlier, but I'd said if they put a human head on the samurai and had him standing on a pile of dead human bodies, then I'd think it was an awesome piece. But to me, calling it a Predator is just an atrocity :gah:
 
Re: Hong Kong Ani-Com 2011: Hot Toys SAMURAI PREDATOR (Collectible Statue)

The Pred head is precisely what makes it awesome to look at.
 
Re: Hong Kong Ani-Com 2011: Hot Toys SAMURAI PREDATOR (Collectible Statue)

The Aquatic Pred is one of my favorites done by him.
Truly badass

and you prefer the superpredaturds over the AVP design wise? :slap
both films have their Meh factor.

Agreed. And I'll go as far as to say those things never should have been called "super" Predators. But to me, Predators at least stayed truer to the Pred universe than AVP did. And that's sad, because a few people pitched great ideas to Fox for that movie, and that crap they picked over those ideas is an embarrassment!
 
Re: Hong Kong Ani-Com 2011: Hot Toys SAMURAI PREDATOR (Collectible Statue)

Sprig clearly only like just Predators from the Predator movies. No artwork, sculpture, comics, novels, etc inspired by those films "canon" or otherwise or anything AvP.

He's also hilarious to read, otherwise I would have blocked him already.
