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

[a-dev]

Well at least theres no unpleasant surprise about this one far as can be told at present. Better pics will be appreciated but I think I shall have no complaints here. Flash photos suck but I'm sure the paint is excellent.

Between ordering this, the T1 T800 and the Mark IV I went with the Mark IV. Just spent to much this year on 1/6. And with HT Superman and Indy coming next year have to start budgeting and save. Royce and Mr. Black are going to have to do for me. As are T2 T800 and T1000. I have 2 of each as both are on Motorcycles. Definitely picking up Classic if it comes out to go with my Dutch.

Now who's going to be the first one to try and look under his mask?

I think it's because the 'WOW' factor isn't there like it was for the Berserker. If HT had released Falconer first the 'WOW' factor may have been there then even more so for the Berserker.

It could be because the guy took him out of the box, put him on the stand and took sub par pics as well. No arranging of the dreads at all. Wait until the more professional in hand pics come out before judgment. I personally love this figure, but he was my favorite design in the movie anyway....

Well he looks bad ass. I am ready for someone to rip the bio off so we can see whats under there.

Taking bets.....Face or no face?

I say face.

It won't take long for someone to do it.

No face is my bet. I think the mask may be a part of the head sculpt, not a separate entity that is glued on or anything like that.

A separate piece that is glued on, the bio is.

Yeah that looks to be the case......

I see what I believe to be mandibles, or I see a seam where they would plug into the head.

The earlier pic posted in this thread that had "by Athena" watermarked was the best evidence there is a face.

Really surprised they didn't lower the price on this guy. Absolutely no reason he should cost as much as Berserker when he includes so little. And that's not even taking into consideration that Berserker was overpriced to begin with.

Not sure about that dude..

The Biohelmet and face look a single piece (not separate glued pieces) in this pic:

I think that we basically got the falcon in place of the face to jusify the same price.

Heyy!! you got the "super non articulated falcon" ... and even "the rod"!! ..

 

[Elder_Predator2]

I didn't mean that as fact, I meant that as my bet. It came out as a fact though and I apologize. Here is one piece of evidence I have that leads me to believe it is two separate pieces:

Also, if the head and bio were the same piece wouldn't they have done the light up a different way? It seems almost impossible to install a LED light the way they did if the bio doesn't come off the give more workspace.

Here they are.....

Those pics also help support our theory of a face underneath.

Excellent point..

Plus, they already had a head sculpted for Berserker. Why sculpt and whole new head with a bio for Falconer? It makes more sense to just sculpt a Falconer bio for Berserkers head. That and the mandible seam Seth posted make me think it's glued bio with face hidden.

Someone is probably already doing it as we post.....

Yes, I have a feeling that the mask can be removed and an unpaited head will be underneath.

Yup.. probably you're right, and the most logical way would be two separated and glued pieces

.. Or maybe you find a gap.¿¿??
