Re: Hong Kong Ani-Com 2011: Hot Toys SAMURAI PREDATOR (Sculpture?)
I can't see the Plastic Enemy pics (danged work filters!) but there's something that looks suspiciously like an elbow joint on the main pic.
That said... if this is a figure, then are we looking at where HT are going in the future with their Predator license? With Classic, they've pretty well hammered the Predator movies to death (and then run over the remains with a steamroller), so original designs would appear to be a promising way ahead.
I rather hope so, because then the OCD nutter in me can avoid buying these since they're not "real" predators...

I suppose I may had well give my two cents on this then. I can see some leg joints on the last picture. He looks cool, but I don't know if I would buy him...

It's is a 1/6 scale FIGURE based on a sculpture by Mr Takayuki Takeya
"This 1/6th scale Samurai Predator diorama project is proudly designed and painted by Mr Takayuki Takeya (竹谷隆之) and specially sculpted by Mr. Yuji Oniki (鬼木祐二), which will be firstly unveiled in the Ani-Com & Games event in Hong Kong for preview from 29th July to 2nd August! The 1/6th scale collectible figure which is inspired by this diorama project will be announced later."
This may be a teaser of this collectible figure....
Re: Hong Kong Ani-Com 2011: Hot Toys SAMURAI PREDATOR (Sculpture?)
So judging by that latest pics... its a sculpture that looks almost identical to the original, what's the point?
EDIT: Ok so I think its the exact same one... My guesses are its going to be a figure but those teaser pics are just showing the design it will be based off of..
