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

[Butters]

Sure, it's not the Predator we're used to seeing, but it's still a mighty fine looking piece.

This is a statue-1/6 figure release. Both are suppose to be released.

 

[Centurion]

Looking forward to the official announcement.

Just to clarify of who came first, the statue or the figure, the statue was done by some Japanese artists. Hot Toys liked the concept an announced that they would release a figure based on the statue. The thing is, i think that they will also release the statue, but I am not 100% sure.

Because the figure is based on the statue and Hoy Toys used the original outside artists that made it to also make the figure, it is expensive.

I like this pred and like the concept. The base is also just too cool to pass.

 

[topknot]

True, and I can't wait for it to be released.

 

[Centurion]

Good to hear others are interested in that statue-base also.

It needs to make sense for HT to move forward and sell this.

If demand seems low, they make only a few statues and the price will be high.
If demand is high, they make more of them and probably offer it at a lower price.
It's also possible this was created for the show only and that would be a crying shame.

I'm actually liking the look of this figure now but what I can't swallow is that F'n price!!! No freakin way.....

It is a bit over the reaonable price. Just do this, if you are a person that smokes or drinks either coke or alcohol, stop it for a couple of months, since you are basically just throwing your money away anyway, and use it for the figure.

Simple. Maybe. But you will have the figure.

 

[Centurion]

Maybe even kick the habit too.

I don't do either one, so bring on the statue and figure now!

 

[vareika]

smokes and drinks, now that is a never-ending hobby lol. I don't smoke so I don't know if I'm way off on my estimates, but a pack of cigs are what, $7-8? Times however many packs / month, it adds up.

 

[MxBxM]

Yeah, by the time it is released, all the money that was going to be burned or spent on alcohol, can be used for the figure.

I dont drink or smoke either, it's just a suggestion for those that do have those habits and want to get the figure but maybe the price is too high.

Honestly, this figure too cool to pass up for me. I'm thinking about getting a second one and have the armor painted a different color.

 

[RIDDICK]

I was very suprised to see what pred it actually was...

Non of 'em, yeah.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Damn, was gonna be using Reward Points from Sam Flynn & Angel Comiquette to fund this, they've been delayed to the same shipping time, gonna have to skip now

 

[Centurion]

I've still got this on my radar.

Although it's not posted on the SS website, I'm still hoping the statue-base is also available for purchase. So badass, it deserves being reposted:

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Never though i'd say this but sideshow could learn a lesson from Hot Toys on how to make a cool Statue base

 

[nothingface35]

Is that the real base or a custom? It's different from what I remember but if that's the real one then the price is a tiny bit more reasonable.

 

[Rotfish]

It's not the real one. What customers are getting is a more dumbed-down version. If HT ends up releasing this as a statue as well (which is what they seem to have planned), then it would be cool to include the full prototype base with it.

 

[MxBxM]

Yeah, that statue is not actually from Hot Toys either I believe. It's from some Japanese artists. Hot Toys liked the concept and hired them to make a figure version of it, reason why most of us believe it to be the cause for the high price.

 

[Centurion]

That says a lot right there about this statue-base.
It was the inspiration for the figure. Not the other way around.

Sure, it's not the Predator we're used to seeing, but it's still a mighty fine looking piece.

so stoked to get this already..
