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

[playboy409]

Wolf was a badass in the movie. I loved his throwdown with the predalien at the end.

I think another element of Wolf that is attractive is that he brought back the "essence" of the Predator (slim body and movement) that was lost with the AVP football players. In other words he brought "Sexy Back"!

Wolf bringing sexy back.

Sometimes I feel that I'm the only one on these boards that doesn't care for the Wolf Predator design. Honestly can't understand why he has such an ardent following... :/

I feel you, man. I feel you.

The more I see HT City Hunter maskless, the more I hate it. Why they couldnt go with the P2 battle damaged previous head sculpt???

If someone made a new head and mandibles I would definitely buy it!

Agree.
I hate the new head sculpt of the new City Hunter, so i had swapped the head with the P2 battle damaged head sculpt.

Lucky you

I am not going to pay the crazy prices they are asking for the battle damaged versions, to use just the head and the two pairs of mandibles after repainting them , Customizers, you are my only hope!!!

Can someone confirm with them both in hand if the HT Lost Predator Head and mandibles are the same mold as the Predator Battle Damaged version. Thanks

 

[P.]

no they are different in shape and their parts won't fit, though "lost" does look like a lame rework of P2 head.
old series heads were never "same mold" except for a "guardian" using P1 head.

I was frustrated to see the new City Hunter's head sculpt after the HT announced it. So i went to bid a head sculpt of battle damaged version, and luckily got one.

Current head swapped result.

Nope, they may looks similar but the sculpts of them are different.

P2 BD version head: (open mandibles)


Lost Predator head: (open mandibles)



P2 BD version head: (closed mandibles)


Lost Predator head: (closed mandibles)

Thanks to both of you, specially vinlwj´s pic comparison.

Do not know what I am gonna do but must have that old head.

Wolf was a badass and I loved his design but maybe there is a little bit of truth of over liking him due to him being somewhat of a throw back to the earlier Predators after the 'bulky teenagers' Predators from AVP.

to fit the old Predator 2 BD in the new City Hunter body, is a mod needed or just the peg and the head fit right?

Has anyone tried to insert the new dreads into the holes of the old head?

You need to do the neck joint modification if you want to place the old BD head on new p2 body.

Below is my way to do the modification by using the old model neck joint.


we need to trim the old neck joint to be shorter, if not the overall will looks "long-neck" when we plugged the old head on the new body.


Comparison of shortened old joint and new joint:


Bottom of both neck joint, the hole's diameter mostly same so that's why the old neck joint can plug on the new body.





Plugged in the old neck joint:


Then put on the neck warp, plugged in the old P2 head on the neck joint and it's done.


Actually i also had swapped the new dreadlocks to my old BD head.


The old dreadlocks on the old BD head were too bulk for me so I decided to swapped them.
But need to take note that both heads (old and new) have different quantity of dreadlocks.

It is very difficult to get an old BD head now, wish you can find it.

Can someone post the link to Tylerdurden's bio mask thread please?

 

[kam veitch]

I will go for the full body then. Might make an extra effort! Cant stand that new head, I want to posse it with and without mask.
