As a figure, one of the best IMO, absolutely amazing, unique and with lots of great accessories. If the weak character he is doesn't bother you too much... and you like Predators stuff, I'd say do it! Doooo iiit!

How are the eyes? They seem to be staring too high. Always looking up.
Also how would you compare the likeness of actual product from prototype?

He is definitely looking a bit up, but it doesn't seem too much to me. I actually think it works well. If you tilt the head a bit down he will be giving the "soon..." look .

I never did a comparison of the actual product to the prototype, but maybe as it feels right to me I didn't feel the necessity to compare... I think it looks and feels right. But I'm sure you can take a good look by a detailed review such as Roscoe:

Hope it helps! I know this will sound blasphemous to a lot of people, but I'm happier with Noland than with Classic. Fortunately I'm even happier than both with P1 .

that's a good review. i've been considering getting this guy and now i think i will once i finish getting the other guys on my list. i see him on eBay for $150-$200.

Could pick this up for a bargain at a local shop, around 120 USD - price is totally fair and even had big pleasure unboxing and setting up the fig.

ultra short review and lots of more photos:

Thanks "Xenom0rph" for the great pictures. Looks good. But here I sit still on the fence. I am glad I did not pick him up earlier this year during my "dry" time with HT's purchases because I would have no money left for T-800 dx.

$120 is a good price. Right now I am saving for Returns Penguin and Batman.

 

[xenom0rph]

Dry time...you're so right! I feel all the time that way...but on this deal I couldn't pass.

Had some free minutes today and decided to shot a quick vid:

Cool review of a very cool figure, mate. Noland really is one of those figures that seems to have flown under the radar this year. It makes it all the more sweeter when you get a great deal on him, too.

 

[xenom0rph]

Hey butters, thank you and also thanks for the friend request! Happy weekend!

It is a dry time for me with HT's. Still think about this figure on and off. But I know when Penguin and Returns Batman are revealed I might regret this purchase. Also looking at Sideshow Bossk in my "dry time".

I would wait for this guy , i cant see him growing too much in price.Bossk looks great that would be a good buy.

THis figure has been out for awhile. For those who own him, how are your thoughts about him now? Are you bored with it or is it still holding up.
I have been thinking of this figure off and on.....

I can't really answer that, since he only arrived today.

However, he's a great looking figure with an interesting look to him and a lot of intricate parts and details.

I'd also been thinking of him on and off, but when OneSixthBruce dropped him to £85 I couldn't resist. (OSB recently offered free delivery on all orders until April 2014 for a one-off charge of £15, so this one almost puts me in credit already!)

I think he's really impressive looking, with a great sculpt and lots of options for display.

 

[Bo Shrek]

Great Pictures...

Saw him at a local shop. They also parted him out in bags so I had a close look at all the parts including head sculpt and bio mask. I can get him for $140 but I think I will hold off. I have SS ESB Darth Vader and Returns Batman in mind. I know I have to play the "patient" card right now because when these figures are released they will be "back to back to back to back"! So I will continue to save me money (Up to $600 in my 1/6th funds).

My mantra right know is "Stay on target"!!!

I nabbed this guy same as Kuat of Kuat, when OSB had a fire sale on him. I think he's neat, detailed and comes with a ton of stuff, but I only nabbed it because it was on sale. He's the first "back in the box" figure I have when shelf space becomes and issue.

I did have some trouble with his leg straps, some were perfectly fitting others were loose as hell, other then that this was fun to put together.

Somehow the mask is too big for 1/6 human x_x

Maybe because it seems that in the movie it's supposed to be a fallen Predator's mask salvaged by Noland for his personal use?

 

[darkmoon2112]

I don't think so

 

[HeubertMichael]

I don't think so

You think Noland made his own mask from scratch? If you look at its design, it looks haphazardly cut and then attached on to another helmet of some sort, so that it would fit him. It actually looks like a tarnished and worn-out jungle hunter pred biomask to me. You must also think that he also created his own double-bladed gauntlet?

But then I could be wrong.
