Predators are intergalactic samurais from outerspace.

Stan Winston was a god among men.


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

He was just a man among men.
 
Re: Hong Kong Ani-Com 2011: Hot Toys SAMURAI PREDATOR (Collectible Statue)

If that's not trolling I don't know what is.
 
Re: Hong Kong Ani-Com 2011: Hot Toys SAMURAI PREDATOR (Collectible Statue)

Then report it mini-mod.
 
Re: Hong Kong Ani-Com 2011: Hot Toys SAMURAI PREDATOR (Collectible Statue)

Did you forget that you called me a troll a few pages back? I was referencing that.
 
Re: Hong Kong Ani-Com 2011: Hot Toys SAMURAI PREDATOR (Collectible Statue)

He was just a man among men.

Why would you say that (if not to troll)?


It's just an expression of respect. His creature designs were way beyond what the average man could come up with.
 
Re: Hong Kong Ani-Com 2011: Hot Toys SAMURAI PREDATOR (Collectible Statue)

So you troll me to prove a point? Big difference between giving your opinion on the God-like status of a person, and just waiting for someone to make a post so you can make accusations. If I called you a troll, then it was probably for reasons like this.

I agree he's made creature FX no ordinary man could do, but just my beliefs there's nothing any person has done, or will do, to elevate them to a God-like status.

And yes, a true master of the trade was lost when Winston passed on RIP. (Maybe if I'd clarified like this originally it wouldn't have seemed I was flaming you. My apologies)

Excuses not accepted :dunno
Your opinion differs from others only by the fact that you're trying to insult them.
Respected user comes and tells you that you're wrong and you immediately think up something to not look dirty.

...and now back to your regular program.
 
Re: Hong Kong Ani-Com 2011: Hot Toys SAMURAI PREDATOR (Collectible Statue)

Who said anything about Biblical? :dunno

The word "god" is just a title.

I know you are claiming that you are not going biblical, but men are in fact referred to as "gods" on more than one occasion in the Bible. It does not have to imply worship.

As I said, this was just an expression of respect.

Exactly. That was a deliberate choice.

No it isn't, and no there is not an instance of that. And what else is that word used for?

I explained my post and put an apology in it saw, as well. But personally, I like how you edited your post to include the bit about trolling. You obviously read into this thread after posting that and saw dedguy's comment about it, so you had to go back and add that. I see that you'd rather be some board hero and get into flame wars, in some sad attempt to be cool on here :clap

Good for you buddy, you go around threads and type in your heroic responses and you tell us people who argue your point off. And take your time with responses and don't post anything stupid, because you wouldn't want you lose your hero status :lol
 
Re: Hong Kong Ani-Com 2011: Hot Toys SAMURAI PREDATOR (Collectible Statue)

I fail to see someone just trying to defend a statement they made that YOU called into question as trying to garner hero-worship. That's so far out of the bounds of logic it's hard to even understand.

wow.

Hero? Nah, just agree with dedguy and not you in this case. Interesting that you should use that word though... do you think of yourself as a villain?



1) God is a title. It has never been a name. Lord, king, god, president are all titles. The word translated "god" simply means “mighty one” or “strong one.”

2) The Bible uses the title "god" on several occasion to refer to creatures.

  • Men: Psalm 82:6, John 10:34
  • False gods: Exodus 12:12, 1 Corinthians 8:5
  • Angels: Psalm 8:5 (some translations)
  • Satan: 2 Corinthians 4:4 This one is particularly interesting. Satan is "the god of this world". According to the Bible he is a "mighty one" behind many atrocities done under his domain. To refer to him as a god does not at all imply worship.


Stan Winston was at the top of his class. He is a "mighty one" in the world of creature design. No need to read into it further.



I'm sorry if my use of the phrase "god among men" offended your religious sensibilities, but honestly there was no need to reply with the "man among men" post. There is no way that wasn't gonna look like trolling.

If you wish to reply, feel free, but I will not engage on the subject further in public. If it still really bugs you perhaps a PM is in order.
 
Re: Hong Kong Ani-Com 2011: Hot Toys SAMURAI PREDATOR (Collectible Statue)

lets just go back to the argument of if this is a figure or sculpture. round two: Fight!
 
Re: Hong Kong Ani-Com 2011: Hot Toys SAMURAI PREDATOR (Collectible Statue)

Its a statue of a 1\6th figure made from a drawing taken off a sketch made by 2 guys.

if that doesn't clear any confusion I don't know what will.....
 
Re: Hong Kong Ani-Com 2011: Hot Toys SAMURAI PREDATOR (Collectible Statue)

Uh, it clearly states on the placard that it's a 1/6 scale figure, it's never been officially stated anywhere that it's a statue, and you can clearly see all the now-normal Hot Toys Predator articulation.

I don't see how people still think it's a statue and how anyone thought it was statue to begin with I still don't quite understand.
