BD P2 was my first Hot Toys predator. Got it back when they cost $130. His head sculpt isn't completely accurate, but it screams "P2".
I think the mandibles here are way more accurate, they look wayyyy more P2 than the new one.

I really like the BD headsculpt as well, looks more P2 than the rehash, I just hate those awful dreads. Looks like he got a hold of a can of AquaNet.

Tiny details? Like how they're using someone else's freakin' face for the figure? If Hot Toys painted a goatee on their Bruce Wayne headsculpt and shipped it as the new Tony Stark figure, would you call that a tiny detail?
Wow apples to oranges .......... the people that miss out on this guy is perfect for me.Makes my personal display more bada$$ than theres
The head does look much better than the proto shot
I know we're talking about a fictional race of creatures here but if they were real I don't think they'd like your attitude. They'd hunt you down whether you were a worthy armed combatant or not.

I like the old BD HS as much as the next guy. But before we go handing out tuggies for the version one city hunter, let us not forget about those horrible eyes.
The thing I used to hate about this figure was the fact that you pretty much had to keep his head angled down to hide his ridiculous eyes
and as much as I like the dreads they are clearly way to long to movie accurate, though I will admit I still prefer them longer.
Despite all the tiny nit picks I must say this new city hunter looks incredible

Someone just make some accurate mandibles for sale. If they can make mouth parts for the DX 12 Batman I'm sure someone here has the talent to make them.
Is that the only problem with the face accuracy wise?
It'd be a good idea. I wonder could someone even cast the old mandibles and get them to work on this figure.

Accuracy wise, I don't really know but for me it's the biggest problem. The only problem with casting the old mandibles, is if they're going with the new style head(which I'm sure they are) is the peg when you put them on. I have an extra set if anyone's willing to do it.

Yikes! That is not a very flattering photo!
Being hunted by a predator would be awesome , bring to on !!!
That or being targeted for Termination by Skynet and having a T-800 or T-1000 chasing me......actually no, neither scenario would be very nice. I would die.

Not even close; in fact the mandibles are the least of his face problems. The eyes/nose/mouth area is completely wrong given the fact that it's Classic/Shadow's face with longer upper teeth. It really is like painting a goatee on Bruce Wayne and calling it Tony Stark.

This is way I am not feeling this figure. I have watched P2 so many times. And this figure is not Predator 2.

Yeah seeing those comparisons just makes me feel better about not ordering him. Its just lazy by HT to use Classic's head on this and still have incorrect mandibles!
