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

Looking at these makes me glad I picked this guy up! Awesome pics!

Quick question-since there's a hole for the falcon rod on his shoulder, can Falconer support a plasma caster like Berserker or is the hole too small\wide\whatever for it?

 

[Centurion]

Would you happen to have one of these in a larger size?

Just foolin' around.

That's a great pose and thank you for sharing.

That is normal, but some I believe are looser than others.

I was kind of looking through this thread and saw that some people were able to successfully remove the bio mask. How much of a face (if any) is underneath? Does anyone have a photo? I wasn't sure I liked this guy at first but the more photos I see the more I like him. And would placing the head in hot water be a bad idea to try and soften the glue to remove the bio?

Edit: found the answer myself. Man I wish I could afford them all

no, the hole is too big for the plasma caster

Starting my custom falconer head. Newbie here.

For those who have experience custom painting HT headsculpts, do you need to primer it still before applying the paint? Do I still need to remove the original paint? If yes, would using paint thinner be ok?

Looking good so far!

Very impressive so far, newb Seriously, though, awesome thus far!!!

I did not strip the paint off the head when I re-painted my P1, or primer it for that matter, but just make sure to seal it GOOD with a couple coats of matte finish (or something of the such) to protect the paint. At least, that's what I do

But, if you do feel the need to strip anything on HT figures for re-paints, fingernail polish remover works great!! For acrylic nails



Can't wait to see your finished work!

Nice job so far. It's the eyes that will be the killer. I've never seen anyone than can do eyes as good as the HT ones. I think they use clear coated high resolution decals or something similar.

@fecho2007 & Reaktwon
Thanks! I haven't done any painting so far. Only removed the mask and added the mouth and mandibles part.

@sprig0701
Thanks for the tips! Really helpful and I appreciate it!

anybody know how to fix the problem with falc's legs doing the splits? on mine, one of his leg joints (up where his leg connects with the hips) is really loose and when i try to put him in a squatting pose he tends to do the splits & keel over. his other leg is pretty tight & holds a pretty good pose but the other one is really loose. i'm kinda scared to pry his leg apart & take a closer look at the joint. any suggestions? anyone?

Almost sounds like the joint broke

nah, the joint is alright. its just really loose. ive heard people on this forum putting a coat of superglue on the ankle pegs to allow more stability on other HT figs, but the thight joint is a bit different & a lot bigger.
