HOT TOYS: Lost Predator Predator 2 Poseable Model Kit

[Weyland-Yutani]

this is how i feel about boba fett. if you guys don't like him don't buy him. there's plenty of us here that will probably buy multiples so we can make custom Predators.

OT: Isn't Ron Perlman from Alien Resurrection a hairless wookie?

 

[darren1228]

Agreed.

I hope they don't bring out P1 now because of the "willpower battle" that will ensue.

My wife would absolutely kill me if I buy another one.

Damn, why don't girls like Predator movies?

Maybe if they get Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt to star in one....

and I have absolutely no problem with that

Yeah.. but I'm saying: Make them discounted figures then. imo it'll be pathetic if they rehash a P2 body, repaint the body, add P2 armor, add/remove whatever minor variation that particular character had in the film (like one lost hunter has the shoulder armor but no chestplate, etc.) and then say "$139.99 + s&h. Thank you Chum........P" That would suck imo.

What you have to understand is the cost of making the molds for these figures.
For a NECA figure like the alien, the molds alone can cost tens of thousands of dollars. And that figure has a lot less parts than a regular Hot Toys predator. Of course they re-use many parts, like the articulations themselves, but still, it's a lot of different parts that you need to make molds for. And then you have to factor in costs of research and development, sculpting, painting, etc...
And that's just for the prototype.
Then you have all the material costs, the whole design and packaging, and then the production costs.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of these figures didn't make any profit until the second or third run of the same molds. Or, as some have said, some of the profit is used towards financing other endeavors...
For example, the Wolf body is unique. Who knows if they'll use it on another figure. Or the A3 alien. If they make that one accurate, it'll be a one-shot. Imagine the amount of R&D and the costs of tooling for a single figure. And if they make the Giger alien accurate, it'll also be a unique body design. Pretty expensive if you ask me.
I'm sure Medicom's alien is basically financed by their endless japanese heroes figures.

So I'm very happy that HT are releasing more preds and that they sell well. It just means we can have other unique characters.

Yes, but then she might say I want to buy a 'Hot' Toy Johnny Depp figure. And then the problems will begin!

TAKE YOUR PIC WITCHES WHOS NEXT ????????????

I thought you weren't into Lost ones?

What about P1?

I have a feeling that the rights to do P1 have been snapped up by MCFarlane and:

https://www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=45419

Maybe that's why HT is now looking at the Lost Hunters.

"1....2....3. You are now a asleep. HOT TOYS is not Weyland Yutani and you will give your Hot Toys to User Weyland Yutani"

"You will awake on 1, 3...2....1"

[Zoolander2]

I suddenly have the overwhelming urge to give User WY all my Hot Toys figures.

Huh? McFarlane had the P1 license back in 2004. They haven't done anything with it since then. Plus, as AVP-R demonstrates, it's not exclusive - NECA and Hot Toys have both been churning out figures. The fact that you might have NECA doing 8" figures, and cinemaquette doing $2000+ ones, does not preclude Hot Toys doing a 1/6 PF.

Yes, but there might be exclusivity rights with the P1.

 

[wilhal_18]

guys, i know this may be a dumb question. but i am just curious, HOW MANY LOST HUNTERS ARE THERE in the movie actually??/ or maybe i should say like HOW MANY VARIATIONS???

if they have like 10 variations, i think i will skip this one. my wallet will blow up

 

[Elder_Predator2]

There's maybe 8.

 

[Malice]

There's maybe 8.

damn elder you know everything, you rock!
