Hot Toys - Artist Collection - AVP: Samurai Predator 1/6 Scale Collectible Figure

[MxBxM]

This shows the opened, moveable jaw

I'd like a Gladiator Predator and a Pirate Predator, Hot Toys.

I always liked the idea of a Indian Tribe Predator with a bio mask that has metal feathers that look nearly as those. With an Spear or maybe an even a Axe.

A Bio with this as feathers.

i really dislike this figure. However, it would be really nice if we got an Artist Collection Alien to battle it. Then we might be talking £ leaving my pocket.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

An Indian Predator would just be a regular Predator without the high-tech gear.. Maybe a feather or two...

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I guess Lar'ja Thwei secretly likes this, only reason i can think of for continuing to return to the thread

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

I don't.

Samurai armor still looks goofy, so does this Predathing.

I have often thought of the idea of there being a line of Predator collectibles that are wearing cultural themed armor, though.

If his head wasn't deformed, he didn't have Katanas, gummy worm dreads, a weird demon/human body, had natural Predator patterns/spots/colors..he'd be fine.
Oh, and if the Bio and other various armor pieces were tweaked a bit..

Yes , like some of the lost Preds for example hippie. I love the simple looking Preds and hippie is one of my most favourite. But it would be cool if he would had a Indian looking Bio mask though.

I don't.

I don't think that the armor is so bad also not that good but It could definitely be better, what I like is the skirt armor and the leg shins.

I think you missed the point of this "Artist Collection" theme though.

It seems it supposed to be different from the norm, a unique artists interpretation of the standard Predator

A single persons vision of what a predator could be if it was described to them without having any knowledge or view previously.

Admit it Lar'ja Thwei, you'll be the first one to do the unboxing video followed by a review saying how much you love the figure. True story!

Just kidding!

You know everybody got's his own opinion and I think this Predator is not good nor bad, face could be better or at least the teeth. But the thing is that I would never spend over 300$ for a Hot Toys Predator that looks only ok IMO and I think others wouldn't do it either. If someone likes this figure and has the money he should buy it, but if not theres no point in getting it.

I have no problem with artist interpretation, I love the Cinemaquette, I love the HT Alien figures..and their Predators aren't that bad either.

But this doesn't even look like a Predator... Weird bubbley head, what appears to be some sort of beard, the body looks NOTHING whatsoever like a Predator, the dreadlocks look like gummy worms..I have no problem with different colored dreadlocks, but rainbow/gummy worm? really?

In fact, without the mandibles and dreads, I don't think you could know that this is a Predator.

That's the same thing I thought!

Looks more like a predator then the "super predators" do. The price is ridiculous but the design is kinda neat.

Man that looks awesome. This is my anticipated figure now. Sorry Jack Sparrow

Not really.

Supers just have a more elongated head.

This one has a weird bubbley head with a razor blade crest, what looks like some sort of beard, odd horse-like mouth..
Then there are those weird hole things near the eyebrows.

 

[Devil_666]

Super Preds look like crap too.

 

[riky]

Super Preds look like crap too.

No argument there

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

They certainly don't look as good as the original designs, but I don't consider them "crap".
Hopefully you're just talking about Mr. Black's head design, not the trios' bodies..because there was absolutely nothing wrong there or out of the normal besides Mr. Black's scaley spots..which looked awesome.

It could have been so much more, but it's not "crap".
