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

[MxBxM]

Oh, I'm probably done.

But I'm sure he'll reply with some douchey little biased post stating how rude I am, yet at the same time insulting me.

Hopefully Mrs. FACT, you are gone for good.

I apologize to the other board members. But this Larja thing thinks that what he/she views as right is the only true fact. I just have no respect for people like that.

I know I'm in the minority here...I'm not feeling this figure at all.

And I get it. He could be from a different race, breed, etc. of Yautja, and he's decided to model his gear after the Samurai's from feudal Japan.
I love that concept.
I just don't think it was executed well.

You're not in the minority, and we're all entitled to our own opinions; I'm with you on this.
The fact, however, is this piece was meant to be stylized from the very start. Take a look at what I've highlighted in bold and then imagine that concept represented by a statue based on a unique artist vision. Then you have the final executed piece.







I'm not referring to Centurion when I say this, I'm just using his post as a jumping-off point: people need to understand that the idea for this figure didn't stop right on "...from feudal Japan." There's an extra sentence missing there that explains why this looks like it does, and therefore why it won't cater to everyone, Predator fan or not.

This is really one of those situations where a piece is 100% bona-fide art. And to those complainers out there, you know how art works, don't you? Not every style will be appealing to you, because it's simply a matter of taste. You either appreciate the style/genre/vision or you don't. It's why I'm not interested in classical music and abstraction, for example.

You should have been done after the first time you shared you opinions, or maybe after the first few times you responded to a comment that you felt was an insult.

I mean, obviously everyone is entitled to an opinion so what the opinion is does not really matter at this point.

This has gone on for quite some time because your posting the same thing every 5 pages, each time you post, theres bound to be someone who feels differently.

Same thing with the Classic thread. I've seen the same back and forth thing go on between you and other freaks so many times on both threads that I've lost count.

edit: Wisdom from Blade as usual, good post.

 

[MxBxM]

Are you ____in serious?

And wtf is this? "complaining about the angle, shape, or color of all the figures"? really? I own 5 god damn HT Predators, had 3 HT Aliens. I don't complain, I just don't praise everything like you obsessed fanboys do.

Where is that 'watch out, badass over here' poster when you need it.

I don't hate this Samurai Predator, I'd just rather Hot Toys made us a new P2 first. That is all.

It will come, just wait. I bet they will even update the AVP Preds.

I'd like a P2 remake, i never got the original as i don't like model-kits.

Egyptian predator Art...

Samurai pred art...

Samurai Model custom...

Yet another semi-Samurai Predator fan art...

It's a pure figure once it's been assembled. Don't get me wrong, I'm hoping for a P2 remake as well.

Egyptian predator Art...

Now this, I'd actually buy. Depending on the artist, of course.

If this day ever happens I'll throw a thread party.

Bought. Just make a secret thread to avoid trolls thst will complain about the feet. And everything else.

 

[MxBxM]

I would really like a female Pred. Don'tknow if they have ever been shown in franchise though.

No problem. There is a way to say things, even things you dislike about anything. Not like the Larja thing, who I know is still coming here.

Even I don't really like the feet, but it is still cool enough for me.
But we are talking as if it is really being made though.

me too. I have a few resin Predator model kit versions.

Take a look at this one:

I am ready for something different, but I know there is opposition to that idea for a number of reasons.

I think I found some concept art from Predators.




Oh, and one more thing... I ordered my Samurai Predator from BBTS.com

Okay you little prick.

I haven't posted in what, 3 pages? And you're still insulting me for no god damn reason?

The only things I have said in this thread for the past few days were about the Gladiator/Spartan thing, and how Mr. Black's head sculpt more resembles the classic design than this..because someone brought it up.
And I even said that I had been UNFAIR about the Samurai armor thing earlier in this thread.

I find it quite odd that someone so honest and pure would repeatedly insult me when I'm not even here.

Are you done?

 

[raiyuri customs]

I really hope Hot Toys do collaborate with Narin for the next Pred artist collection.

I also found this resin Samurai Predator and it looks insane! In an awesome way.

More photos here. This kit really looks badass!

Just checking on you. You obviously were here. Someone as sorry and pathetic as you (troll) will always come back to ruin threads.
