Hot Toys Berserker Predator

[Rotfish]

All HT Preds (and even Aliens that are covered in rubber) have the ab crunch joints. Ezio is the main character from the game Assassin's Creed II, BTW.

Chances are, this is the Berserker. 12" must represent the scale. Now I know people would've expected it to say "Poseable Model Kit" like with the other HT Preds, but due to the rubber body (that's what it looks like) this guy wouldn't be in model kit form.

 

[kairus]

does anyone know if this new body (beserker) has abb crunch articulation ? or i mean torso bending ability?

Whatever an Ezio is...

Ezio - Assassin's Creed II

That's an Ezio.

Point is, I think we're getting our Berserker tomorrow! And I can't wait to PO him and find out what the estimated release date is. Please be this year...

Yeah, I thought that too but was reminded of Exile so who knows

Eh, Ezio is not as cool as Berserker and I do hope its Berserker, but I doubt it.

No. P1 came complete. You didn't put him together at all. You just had to add accessories (Bio, Stand). And it was STILL labeled a "Poseable Model Kit". They're labeled "Poseable Model Kits" to get around some licensing issue. Maybe someone else can explain that more (I forget the exact details).

If you mean, bending like the muscle bodies,then Nobody knows, because still not known if is a rubbered body or plastic/ PVC torso.

Personally I think this it is a PVC torso instead rubber, because there is a waist joint.. but not sure.
You,ll have to wait for the official SPECS if you want to find out

Very well put actually. So, I still think its Ezio thats they are referencing. We have very little detail on Berserker yet and I doubt he'll go up like that without the official Specs first.

 

[dimicop]

i think that HT was planning to release the berserker with the no middle articulation, but now , reading all feedbacks about this , they could be changing the figure, and this also could be the reason for the delay of the finnal product pictures.

But this is only my opinion...

 

[Eamon]

Just back from the movie.

Man, that movie was flippen great fun. Just what you would expect from a predator movie!!

Role on the specs for the Berzerker!!

Actually, the P1 can easily be taken apart. A rubber-coated figure cannot... Notice how they have some HT stuff in the "12 inch Figure" section on SSC's Alien and Predator page. I could be mistaken, but here's hoping we get Berserker.

Having that said, even though I'm not too big an Assassin's Creed fan, that looks like HT's best job on clothing. Just saying .

It has something to do with taxes on toys being higher than model kits.

And sorry Blade, but while the P1's body was assembled, the figure still required a substantial amount of construction to be appropriately displayed. I'd say he was the "snap-tite" equivalent of Preds past. So rubber suit or no, if these guys need to be built up out of the box, they're still poseable model kits.

Yeah, but no Predators or Aliens though, just humans. Dutch, Billy, Machiko, Dallas and Kane. They also have the Medicom Alien there but that's because it's so small it has to be labeled 12".

And I'm not sure what you mean by "Rubber Coated" because the only thing so far that might be rubber is the torso. The arms/legs aren't covered (you can see the joints). And Predators never come with the torso in pieces so this figure could still be "easily taken apart" as much as any other HT Predator even with a rubber torso.

So I still don't see your point TBH!?

 

[Rotfish]

Okay... well, I guess I assumed (like most here) that Berserker would be the more-likely figure to be released, since SS has been previewing it for the past few days. And they've been pushing the rest of the pictures back quite a bit. Plus, the movie is now out. The smart money says it's Berserker, but it could go either way. Dunno.

 

[Jaycepticon]

I'm thinking either or won't really matter since whichever they don't preview will probably be shown next week or something. Although, the sooner he gets previewed, *hopefully* the sooner he gets released

 

[Devil_666]

Has SSC ever put up a Pre-order for a HT figure before HT even released the official specs for it?

 

[Rotfish]

Iono... but think about it this way. SSC had the preview page up before HT even said a word. And who knows? Maybe the HT specs will be released when the PO page shows up.

@Verbal21: Technically, he has been previewed. That's what we've been discussing on this thread; the teaser pics.

Didn't they do that with Sarah Connor? But that's Sideshow's license on loan to HT so that might be different.

oh yeah, I'm talking about the preview thing Wookster does

You mean the first preview pic? If so, no. HT put that pic out first.
