Hot Toys Classic Predator in the works?

[Cap'n Cook]

I believe it's one of Taylerdurdem's custom bio masks. He's a member here.

Yeh, looking at mine now, it appears to be a TD one.

My guess is that it'll be a P1, not Classic, with a new body, head sculpt, etc.
If it IS the Classic Predator from Predators I hope they don't make him smaller than the Berserker trio because HT has screwed up the scale so much already that it doesn't really matter.. I just want a nice looking figure at this point.

I hope he is the same size

Watch their "Classic" be a type of "DX" version of the P1, the first in the line.

I really, really hope so

Yea that's a TD Version 2.

The one in the middle should be the one you have. HT stock is left and TD Version 3 is on the right.

If classic comes out with a new body ill just switch my p1 trophies, head and bio mask with the new revised body...the best of the old and the new

I like the proportions of TD's ver.3 biomask. Ver.2 covers a lot of the face from the profile point of view. However, I like the weathering paint app of HT.

Wish I had a P1, but don't so Classic will have to do no matter how they make him.

I kinda feel like the HT version is a bit too rough like it was carved out of stone. The TD bios really bring out the Alien Metal look out of it. The HT stock is overly bulky and the more I look at it comparing it to TD's bios, the more I hate it.

I agree. In fact, after seeing your pics, I had Alejandro make me one. Its on it's way to me. Cannot wait to get it. BTW, my wallet said you are a bad influence.

 

[Awesome]

All three of the masks look great in different ways, even if one isn't screen accurate.

That movie Predators sucked Alaskan Snow Monkey Balls

Agreed.

I have always considered the true height of the actors to represent the true height of the specific Pred being played.

Going by that, since Kevin Peter Hall (P1, P2 and P2 Elder) was 7'2" and Ian Whyte (Scar, Celtic, Chopper, All Ancient Preds, AVP Elder, Wolf) is 7'1" all those Predators should be about the same height then. I would say maximum 7'5" to 7'6" with the suits on.

The Lost Hunters (Predator 2) would vary in size ranging from 6'4" to 7' tall since they were played by various Basketball players who were asked to be extras.

Derek Mears (Classic Predator) is 6'5". Brian Steele (Berserker, Falconer) is 6' 7". And Carey Jones (Tracker) is 6'7". So I would say maximum 6'9" (Classic) to 6'11" (Berserker, Falconer, Tracker) with the suits on.

So the shortest Preds would definitely be the Lost Hunters and the three Preds from "Predators". The tallest would definitely be all the Preds played by KPH and Whyte.

So in 1/6 scale, KPH and Whyte played Predators would all be like 15.5 inches. Lost Hunters could range anywhere from 12.5 inches to 14.5 inches. All the preds from "Predators" would be 14 inches except the "Classic" which would be slightly over 13.5 inches.

That's a whole lot of mismatched heights which is why it's understandable that HT would just give their figures a "standard" height. Which is fine, except the standard is too short. If they would've made all of them 15.5 inches from the jump there wouldn't be any problem. As is, HT Predators don't really look all that big next to other 12" figures. And their P1 is REALLY short.

Funny thing is that I've been hearing that I'm a bad influence all week.

I really hope Hot Toys releases a teaser next week.

I don't think we can speculate much longer...

People saw a WIP pic (which could be anything at this point) and started having fanboy trouser creampies. Nothing official's been stated or shown.
