Im a predator fan since the first film , i started my Hot Toys collection with Chopper predator and now i have over 40 Hot toys figures, outstanding figures that are near to perfection , accurate and well done, but now , this line of "predators" film is F__ing my hopes.
Epic fails in the bio helmets , bad size and inaccuracy , false publicity with the height and a high price.
The lack of accesories is also a problem but i can live with this, i can pass of the height and the other minor problems but really i cant understand the inaccuracy in the helmets....

Shadap! ya big baby...

These figures blow away all of Hot Toys previous Predator releases.

If the bios were bigger it would make the figure look like a bobblehead..these are not the actors in costumes. I personally wouldn't want perfect replicas of those costumes, would look like ____.

It's actually amazing how spot-on their falcon sculpt is, from such little reference. Dunno about the front, but I'd say we're good. Okay, now I'm satisfied again. Still not sold on Berserker (though he is on my NRD PO), but the other two are such instant buys. Well, at least Falconer for now.

The addition of the falcon makes me tempted to buy this. The smaller bio looks ok on him compared to the smaller bio on Berserker. I really want Tracker tho and want to save my money for him but I know if I get him I'll want the 3 super Preds to complete the set....

To buy or not to buy...

Buy. These will all increase in value and I'm pretty sure Falconer and Tracker will have a lot less problems than Berserker, simply because of the lack of a removable bio.

I only want the bio helmet shown in the proto, not a bobblehead, they decrease the accuracy and the quality in the finnal product.
You are right , desingn of this is very far of the old 2007 designs of the other predators as new headsculpts of other figures (terminator line I.E). are better than 2007 sculpts , but this is not a reason to decrease the predators helmet size.
 
Loving the Falcon accessory:clap:clap:clap

looks just like it does in the movie to me, correct size too,
I'd have liked a 'perched' Falcon sculpt as well ? but no matter,there'll be loose ones on ebay no doubt to modify :)

Kindest regards

That Falcon is crying out to be re-mounted on a clear perspex rod. Should be easy to do, though!
 
Looking good hot toys! Much better than berserker. Might pick him up if I ever see him in a local comic shop.
 
It's a well done representation of the falcon in the film, but I'm not too keen on the way they've mounted it on the pole. It would have been nice if it had folding wings and connected to his shoulder or wrist gauntlet. Berserker and Royce are essential, but I can live without this guy and Tracker.

It would've been better if they made the pole transparent.
 
It's still a prototype. The final product I'm sure will be clear(like the Mech Test Tony Stark)

Oh, I guess Hot Toys has changed the meaning of the phrase "final product shown" to mean "this is not the final exact figure and that we will make further changes to what you see."

Okay, in all honesty it does say "final product shown" on the bottom of the pictures.
 
Couple of pics of the "making of"
Really it's just the falcon unpainted...meh

Wow, that thing looks awesome. If HT release it with a black pole, I'll probably try changing it to a clear perspex one. After seeing the mistakes with Berserker I wasn't so sure on POing this guy. But after these pics......I've just fallen in love with him.
