Hot Toys - MMS173 - Predator 2: 1/6th scale City Hunter Predator Collectible Figure

[SepticFlesh]

OCD or not, I really don't care.
You're still human, right?! And this isn't a Red Cross forum.
I have "problems" too but will never talk about 'em publicly bcuz I don't want any kind of special condescending attitude.

This a cult classic no matter what. A smart and competent sequel.
Not to mention that this is the only "post Predator" Predator related movie the essence of which wasn't affected by miserable AVP comics.

There's alot of ppl not liking or even hating this movie. It bombed back there bcuz of such.
Yet here it is - seventh Hot Toys P2 figure.

Oh man please tell me you did not take what I posted seriously? I guess I should stop trying to be funny because my sense of humor...even in real life...never works out.lol
Nah man I am not trying to get any kind of special attention I just really love this message board and when I get excited about a particular figure I order I tend to act childish...what can I say being a collector makes me feel and act like a kid.

Anyway yes I do want this figure otherwise I would not have pre-ordered him. My main complaint was that he was not exactly all too original when compared to the "Guardian Predator" that I already own...however I am actually glad Hot Toys decided to make this particular Predator because the Guardian Pred is one of my favorite predators that I own except for the fact that he has the old school body type and overall cheaper plastics. Upon my first glance of the City Hunter it did nothing for me but after really looking at the close up pictures on the internet I can't wait to see how the paint details come out on the head and face section especially. Also I did not realize at first that he comes with a rebreather as well so another reason for me to buy the City Hunter.

Again my post about having OCD (which again was a joke) I think this is a somewhat normal condition for many collector's because at least in my case whenever I see another Hot Toys Predator I just have to have it. My impulse control is not as strong as it would normally be when pre-ordering from Sideshow but it does pay off in the end because I end up with a nice collection of some really beautiful sculpts and figures.

Also: The OCD comment was just a joke! Apparantly my sense of humor sucks. Now please no more pm's *****ing me out because I hurt their feelings. This was not sent by anyone who posted on this thread in fact a couple of them had a somewhat small amount of posts. What I meant was being a collector I feel like I have OCD because I have almost no impulse control especially when it comes to my favorite figures which are the Hot Toys Predators. At first I did not see anything special about this figure...after looking over the pictures over and over and having some time to think it over I changed my mind on the figure.
There I don't have to explain myself anymore I love this hobby and this message board I will try my best from here on out not to make enemies.

I'm confused; do you want this figure then?

Yes I definately want and am getting this figure. He almost looks like the Guardian Predator to me which happens to be one of my favorites besides the fact that it has the old school body with cheaper feeling plastic...so this will be a really nice looking Predator for sure.
At first I did not like this particular Predator but hey I have the right to change my mind.

I'm going to wait for it to be released and when things start to get cooled down and we can actually see what the final product looks like, then I'll take it into consideration into buying.

Yep, about time for Hot Toys to release this so this thread can go on to the next phase, and get out of the "everyone *****ing about everything bu the figure" phase.

You know it's bad when you see posts by RIDDICK that start making sense.

Predator 2 was bloody awesome. To me, there is only Predator and Predator 2. Though Predators wasn't too bad either, but I wouldn't buy figures based off of it.

Yes i thought "Predators" was awesome...however it still did not have that feeling to it like the first one...Predators did seem to get a bit cheesy at times...actually many times it was cheesy, lol...however I decided to just enjoy the movie just for what it was...a simple story with cool effects and badass looking new age Predators...after seeing the larger "Newer" Predators in this movie I knew I would have to have them as soon as they were up for sale.
I may check out "Predator 2" again. I just do not remember it being that great but that was a long time ago since I have seen it. I think I was trying to compare it to the first one when watching it and sometimes one has to accept a movie for what it is...who knows the second time around this movie may surprise me.
Anyway regardless..."City Hunter Predator" is going to be awesome. I know we are a long way off from it's release date but this is another Predator figure I am looking forward to adding to the collection.
...just trying to get this thread somewhat back on topic.

after seeing the larger "Newer" Predators in this movie

predator 1-2 were larger than those abominations.

You both suck.

The next stage being when some of us who bashed the figure end up liking it and the bashing continues regardless of how ok it 'might' turn out. Fun times ahead.

I hope this is your 'sucky' sense of humour again mate.

Nah...I'll be saving my wonderful sense of humour until after I have watched P2. I'm renting it off of Netflix right now...can't wait to check this movie out and see just how amazing this movie is supposed to be.

 

[ARAFAT209]

i guess the next in line for hot toys to make will be guardian , since they have classic (guardian body and face) and now P2 (the armor) , the most logical thing will be him right guys?

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Joseph Tsang?

 

[a-dev]

I bet P. said that in Arnie's voice...

"No deal!"
