That high exposure photo is not helping.
It's that overly pitted helmet that annoys me the most.

Wow that does look bad.
HT are going down the bad route of profit over quality!

Don't care how much money some of you guys have; if you buy 1/4 Preds that look like the underwhelming and generic 1/6's you're crazy!

We still don't know how much are they going to cost and how bad are they going to be.

They'll probably put more effort into the 1/4 as it's a new format, if they start out lazy they may as well not bother with the whole thing
Way too much exposure in those new shots. OMG will show them how it's done.
Call me crazy, but I still love it. The mandibles are my only gripe (I prefer the rough-textured bio for some reason; plus if they smooth it without doing the same to the rest of the armor it'll look awful).
But seriously, just where the hell are the knee joints? I must know what route they're taking with the legs.
The old one couldn't hold it either. You could remove the launcher, but that feature made it extremely loose on the shins for me.

Picture's fake fellas. Know how i know? Because the Smart Disc is staying in the holster
Shouldn't the knee pads have straps? They're just floating there like the leg armour on the Falconer figure.
P2's knee pads didn't have straps.

I expected as much.
I stand by what I said earlier, though. Not going to deny myself what I consider a cool figure just because the closed mandibles look a little funky. Classic looked odd with them too (if not more so IMHO), yet he's become one of my favorite pieces. A lot of Classic owners feel this way.
It's regrettable, but even though HT continues to let little details go by the wayside, I can still see where my money's going -- which I personally can't say for any other P2 figures currently in existence.
They were just glued onto the creature suit? Seems a bit wierd. If the Predator were real surely it wouldn't have armour glued onto itself. Well anyway.
Off topic question kinda - the old HT Borg Predator - I believe it came with a P2 spear and throwing disc but were these painted differently to match the Borg outfit or were they the exact same in every way as the ones that came with the actual P2?

Strapless or not, they certainly didn't bulge out like that, nor did his lower legs look so skinny.
