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

[capellamusic]

There is a hope that with this figure posed with his mask on and holding a spine in one hand and his spear in the other, it may give off a better P2 vibe.

Actually I think they could have placed another head on a small stand with the mask on so that we could see that better, but the mask is just lying on the "floor".

They did display him in a really crap pose.

Doesn't it feel a bit like they don't give a damn about it? It sure feels like that to me...

 

[Centurion]

No doubt.
Hot Toys went with nearly static poses with a lot of their figures this year.

Puzzling one that...

It's not two colors. I can guarantee that.

Now I know that you've seen the figure in-person, but it certainly looks like a lacking color scheme to me... But the paint is not the least of my concerns because it looks 70-80% correct to me. On the other hand, his armor looks very tight to the body, and too small from the looks of it. Imo his arms looks too skinny (and only slightly thicker than the original P2). The mandibles are still off. The mask is still off... And to make this figure even more desirable, there's a list of re-used parts in order to put this guy together..

You can disagree with my criticism all you want, and try to prove some of them wrong, but imo these are my reasons why this figure is a big disappointment to me. But, it is still the proto version and I am still excited to see how/if HT decided to do anything to fix this figure.

It's looks incredible, but it's not the same predator that we saw in predator 2. It just looks like Shadow Predator with P2 armour. oh wait....

I've bought this figure because of the 1st 3 words you used in your sentence. I've just chosen to ignore the accuracy issues

Before it's released in the US, I'm sure we'll get more pics to confirm its final configuration, as usual.

And, as usual, it will sell very well.

This kind of reminds of the big chap, it was torn to pieces before its release and rightfully so. Now look at the way it sells on ebay. I never would of guessed it.

Damn, I wish there was a market for these figures here in Colombia... I've been trying to unload mine but nobody's interested.

Took some new pictures today. My camera really isn't that great, no professional photography attachments or lenses on it, and seeing the figure again today made me realize it doesn't quite capture the colors well. For those of you worried that the skin patternation is too much of a dark brown, it is actually reddish. I upped the saturation on my new photos to compensate for my camera's crappiness. Despite the modification, I assure you this is a more-accurate representation of the colors in real life:

 

[raiyuri customs]

It does look reddish here, thanks again for taking new photos of this hunter. It somehow gives me a chance to think again on getting this one.

Blade: can you break into the cabinet and put the mask on it and take a photo please, cheers.

Is hot toys repeating what they did with the classic predator mask, built in mandibles?

 

[vinlwj]

Looks like my spare old P2 head can be use when the HT new P2 had released.

Man, even these 2 head sculpts are far better than the new HT P2 head...

Actually the one on the right looks really bad to me... I prefer the 1st HT BD P2, then the new one. BTW, is that a Neca figure?

No, but I do have a bigger shot of the helmet. And also the back armor since we haven't really seen it yet.

Yeah, i am also prefer the 1st HT BD p2 head.
Yup, that right figure is the Neca unmask P2.

 

[greygoose]

Take a joke.

No, but I do have a bigger shot of the helmet. And also the back armor since we haven't really seen it yet.

What material are the eyes? I'm guessing they look darker without the flash and that.
