you get the Facehuggers by getting the Aliens that come with it. you get the eggs by buying the snap-kits or getting them from Bardoon; oh sorry all gone. I'll sell you mine if you want, for.....













one million dollars

The facehugger came with previously released aliens:
1. AVP Grid Alien
2. AVP Brown Alien
3. AVPR Alien

The alien egg is sold as the package of the "Hot Toys Aliens Marines snap-kits". You can find it on ebay...just type in Hot Toys snap kits.

Been out of town for a few days and nowhere near a computer... is this up for pre-order yet? Have I missed it? Cant seem to find it on SS's website and cant be arsed to trawl through the entire thread

 

[Karatka]

The 'usual suspects' on Ebay have it up for order (ABC Express, for example). I understand that Toys2.net have it as well.

 

[wilhal_18]

guys, sorry for this retarded question. I just realized that the cleaner kit is actually different with medikit.

okay, WHat is this cleaner kit actually??? to be honest, i dont remember wolf carrying this in the movie. what he used it for?? can you guys see it in the movie???

thanks

He only had the "cleaner" kit with him at the wreckage site in the beginning of the movie, as I recall. It contained some gear which he used to erase evidence of the Predators' and aliens' existence. I believe he just removed what he needed and salvaged some other gear from the shipwreck, then he activated an implosion device in the cleaner kit which destroyed all evidence of the ship. So no more cleaner kit from that point on.

 

[Karaduin]

Holy! Just read that this version of Wolf will not include an articulated whip and a few other essential accessories that came with the previous. Dammit! Was thinking of getting this version as I missed out on the first release (havent even seen AvP:R yet - I just like Preds) in much the same way I did with the BD Predator 2 - but that wasnt missing anything!

Oh well, I've found this line very difficult to get into being a late starter and all - so i guess I'll just stick with my BD Predator 2 and will get the P1 Pred upon release as they are the original ugly motha fo kas IMO.

See why I got mad at HT earlier. I was "corrected" for my frustration, but still am.
Getting both, but I feel your pain Karaduin. Good luck there. You'll get a great figure whichever you get.

He used the Cleaner Kit in the beginning of the movie. It's the thing that he uses to implode the crashed Predator ship, and the thing he gets gear out of before using it to implode the crasshed Predator ship.

I sent an email off to HT a couple of days ago asking if there was an chance of accessory/upgrade kits being released, and asking why the first version didn't have all the goodies that V2 has.

I was told there are no plans at present for accessory packs (as far as I'm concerned that means it may be a remote possibility).

And the reason for the lack of kit with V1 was that it was developed prior to the movie being released. They were only allowed to use reference supplied and approved by FOX, after release a lot more stuff obviously became available.

Whether this was to protect some Predator designs or things might have been added in postproduction in pick ups I guess we'll never know.
But that’s the official line.

 

[creecher]

That may be so, but why did the first version have the ability to accommodate, at least, the medi kit. They must have known one was going to be made. Besides they still have the pic with him wearing it on their site. I guess they were just referring to the cleaner kit.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Damn, I was hoping tht HT would make accessories for the Predators.

But the first release did come with the med kit (it doesn't open) but you can see it about 7 pics down in my review here-

And there it comes down to money. The Predators are one of HT's most successful lines. In an ideal world, they'd have said hey, we're not getting all the details from FOX, let's wait til we can get it all and then we'll make a figure. Collector's didn't need a Wolf to debut at the time of the theatrical release to want Wolf. Hell, if HT does make a RAMBO figure, it'll be months after the film came out that we see it, doesn't bother them there. This explanation is just sugar coating for "we're ^^^^ing you over and milking this for all it's worth." They chose to rush Wolf because they knew they'd get money for the second one down the road too.

Ah yes, totally my mistake. I haven't looked at mine since the leg fell off, but I see it now.

Doubtless. Used to be that all the figures and licensed goods came out after a movie's release. It's kinda strange to have stuff coming out even before a movie hits the theaters, but with hot properties like Predator and Batman, I guess toy companies can pretty much write their own ticket, as long as movie companies are willing to allow it to happen. Greedy bastids!
