Hot Toys Falconer Predator Figure (now with full spec and pics)

[capellamusic]

Capella, I am a kid and I did it.

Mandibles are coming along well, I have two sets, just need to putty them up. Mods, I am not referring to recasts, but yet custom parts that will better one's figure.

I actually thought you were older , I'll be 28 at the end of this month BTW.

Just don't extend the blade out to far or it'll snap on one of those lines, and you'll most likely need stitches

Just be careful and good luck

Thanks, I definitely don't want that to happen, especially since I play guitar and bass, thus I need my fingers in good shape... - https://unnyverse.com

The face looks fine. Now on to the mandibles.
The painting usually is the longest process. I'd expect you to take a long time with that.
Great job so far.

Thanks , I'm going to try to buy the acrylic paints during this week. I'm going to try my best! BTW, I tried Berserker's opened mandibles on Falconer and they fit perfectly .

Anyway, I tried something else too. I tried transparent fishing string to tie the Falcon on the Detolf, but it didn't work out. So I ended up getting a black clip (just like the silver one on the photo), cut it and bend it, so that it would fit well, without being loose, on the Falconer shoulder and on the Falcon bottom hole, and it worked very well, check the photos . He's now back with his bio while his face painting is in the works, and while there are no mandibles (gotta talk with the elder kid about that ).

BTW, I forgot to say that in the end was thinking this is one of the things that once done one thinks "man, I don't want to do this ever again..." and then a thought comes to my mind "Tracker Predator! Oh sheet..." .

Good luck with Tracker

Good luck with Tracker

Thanks, but I don't even want to think about it right now... And those long teeth on the sides make it even more fragile.

Falconer showed up yesterday. Goes really well the with rest of the gang. Gonna have to wait till I have more time so I can pose him more to my liking. Heres some crappy cell phone pics.

Tracker does appear to have a more fragile bio. What about the hound with all the bones!

Tracker has a non-removable biomask like Falconer.
In order for this to fit inside the box, HT would need to design a tray where the figure is recessed deep into the box to make room for the bones on the biomask OR they would need to have the bones removable and will be inserted back into the bio by the customer. I'm guessing it's the latter in which case the biomask won't be fragile.

Hadn't thought about this. Although the box and tray will need to be deeper to fit the hound in so the bio may fit in with the tusks already attached.

Or maybe they'll think "what the heck, they'll unglue the mask anyway, better not to glue it", and then they simply do like Falconer (unpainted face without mouth parts) but without glueing it, making it easy for everyone. Ok, just wishful thinking...

Very, very wishful thinking

Very, very wishful thinking

On the other hand I hope they don't think "how dare they?! Removing the glued mask?!?! We'll glue the whole surface below the mask this time. Try removing it now! Muhahaha".

More of a challenge for you customisers to overcome

"Ooohh, I'm gonna get you!"

great idea!

 

[toylion]

Got my Falconer today. Order a few loose armor piece from TA because I didn't want Falconer to look so much like Berserker. Here are a few quick shots.

P.S. Tried to hang the Falcon by fishing string but the wings are to heavy,, off balanced.

What have you used for the Falcon and berserkers helm?

^Congrats toylion. Very nice!

Btw, how do you get Royce's strap on his gun to reach that far? I just can get it that long to attach to the end of the gun.

Cotswold Y stands. Monkey Depot sells them too as well as Ebay.

Thanks GG. I just loosened the strap as far as it would go, didn't want to break the ring as I read some have done.

Yep, I was one of those that broke the ring
