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

[Femtech]

Daaang. Good stuff, DG.

Where did you get that skull on the shoulder?

 

[dedguy]

It's the skull that came with the Shadow Pred. It took a fair amount of work to remove the jaw and cut the skull open. I also had to add sculpting to the underside of it to make it fit the shoulder. The jaw you may notice is used on the opposing shoulder.

Oh yah I see.

I just got this guy, I'm pretty happy with him, always a fan of the Pred 2 design. Although I'm not as well versed as the serious Pred collectors on here, I take it a lot of folk are not so happy with it?

one more payment to go on sideshow
can anyone tell me i've seen some pretty deep stance poses with this guy, has the ankle articulation been improved since classic pred? ie ankle tilt etc.

I think he's pretty sweet, obviously not 100% and I am not a huge fan of the head sculpt, but I think with the helmet on he looks pretty good. With a few mods I think he looks great. I redid the lenses, the ties on his groin armor and pouch, and dry rushed some gold onto his armor. I'll post some pics in abit.

His ankle articulation is exactly the same as classic preds

 

[dedguy]

While I can tell it's not accurate based on comparisons to the film, I think as a figure it's a damn nice looking thing and while there are aspects of the original figure that are more accurate the figure as a whole I find to be rather hideous and never considered buying it because of that.

 

[ENTRAILSofANGELS]

Looking forward to seeing it!

I think its decent. Someone posted this badass pic below.

 

[MIKE M]

its a great figure i think besides he head needing a little tweaking it works i like him with the mask on glad you like my pic furyan

 

[Furyan]

^ No problemo! Oops wrong movie..

 

[Robban]

Just a pic of my P2 with the TD bio mask. A huge improvement IMO!

 

[predarnold]

taylerdurdem's P2 bio is absolutely amazing. .
HT bio looks like garbage compared to TD mask. This is even better than 1/4 Neca P2 bio.

 

[Tabula Rasa]

Don't know if I should upgrade my order to include the mask, or just get the plasma caster like I originally planned.
Decision = difficult. That mask is amazing.

 

[dedguy]

I just got the plasma caster along with the Beast bio for my Shadow custom. I got both unpainted… and I now kinda wish I had gotten the P2 bio set as well. Mostly for me I just want something else to paint.

taylor's sculpt is very very film accurate but I don't think the HT bio is all that bad either. It's plenty close enough for me and looks good on the figure. The thing I think is the biggest improvement on taylor's mask is the eye shape.

 

[predarnold]

Not only the eye shape. Overall shape of the mask is different and it's movie accurate. HT bio is horrible.

Yes, I know it's not only the eye shape, I just said that's the biggest improvement for me. I don't think the HT bio is horrible by any stretch and the differences overall are fairly minor for me personally.

 

[MIKE M]

TD needs to sculpt bios for HT they look bad@$$

 

[dedguy]

I'd like to see him do more original masks. I really like the two he's done and wish there were more.
