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

[The_Darkness_Predator]

I like some variety in my collection.

The alien's color reminds me of this:

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 hit it on the money Blade! As I posted before, I like the figure overall but the only gripe I have is the straight teeth and weird looking beard. But it's art and I can appreciate that!

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.

Another After reading page after page of going back in forth. Everyone can have there opinion or point of view, weather good or bad. (just don't drag it out)

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


Egyptian predator Art...

Yet another Samurai Predator custom...

I'd buy the Egyptian Predator in 1/6 just for the concept, who cares how he stands! The Samurai Predator is badass...period!

Pre-order done for this bad boy!

 

[vareika]

That latest scan has improved my faith in this figure. I don't think the horse teeth will be that distracting when taking the whole figure in consideration.

 

[capellamusic]

I'm actually starting to like this figure as time passes and we see more of it... but still dislike the price... a lot.

 

[riky]

The price is the only thing testing my resolve. I am really having a hard time resisting, and I have easily passed on every HT predator to date including Classic.
It may be way to soon for anyone to actually know but are the tongue and/or brains of the alien rubber that will tear and break over time or is it plastic?

 

[WolfPredatorAVPR]

The cheapest I have found is $325 with Shipping. I think my Hot Toys Dutch is going bye bye to cover the cost of this guy, which IMO is a far better piece.

Hope that this crap will be parted on evilbay
So I can buy his base and close palm with A-headcut and try to convert those into something like this
for muh personal project.

Those words are too way smaller to get see,im just ignore most to get some main point,that was a mentioned Hottoys in the future will be more cooperate alien&predator projects with takayuki takeya.....

And the concept of this guy is from the japan Warring States,about 16 century the most larger war,when this predator arrive to the japan wear the samurai armor and teach the resident how to fight the alien.

For some odd reason I think the base is gonna sell for a bit on ebay, mark my words......

I'd say about $100 minimum for the base.

 

[WolfPredatorAVPR]

I'd say about $100 minimum for the base.

Agreed, I was thinking upwards of $150. Personally, if it looks like that, it will be the best base hot toys has ever put out so judging on what others have sold for in the past $50--$60ish....I think its safe to assume in doubling or more over the previous prices for bases.

aren't we all!

Hey, you watch your mouth! I just ordered this one.

 

[capellamusic]

Oh no... It's that feeling again...

 

[MxBxM]

I just noticed it in the last scans that it has several Alien mouths as trophies in the back of his belt.

I didn't notice that before... cool!

 

[Optimatron]

[Silasya77]

You know what? I'll probably be getting the base in the aftermarket. It looks friggin sick.

I can't see those mouths clearly. Darn this bloody blur eyes
