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

[dedguy]

I mean all the other issues lol. Don't get me wrong the figure is gorgeous, but inaccuracies are inaccuracies. It's just the mask needs a screen grab cuz of contours and such. But stuff like the cannon and face are pretty blatantly inaccurate

I ask because just about everything on the figure is off a bit and I seriously doubt all those little differences from the length of the neck to the shape of the various pieces of armor are "obvious" without comparison. I also don't think most people would think anything of he face being off if someone hadn't told them it was.

It's hard to know any of that for sure, I just know that for me, nothing looked off at all until I started doing a ****load of research.

Yeah I have no real problem with my City Hunter (stock) but if people are modding him to make him that little bit more movie accurate then good luck to them.

My main gripe with him is the lack of a left gripping hand.

Just stay out of this thread and you won't notice how inaccurate he is

I searched many sites for the gripping elusive left hand and M.I.A someone needs to sell some and make some money. Or can mod yours with hairdryer or heat gun and carefully bend into shape, then wrap it to hold shape with rubberbands and freeze for a day i think is mod process.

Cheers buddy. I was on the lookout for a spare Shadow Predator left hand but so far no luck.

I may try that mod though.

I have the Shadow Pred and I use the hands from him depending on what I need. They're close enough that if you use both the Shadow Pred hands it looks fine, though if you mix them they look different enough it might look a bit odd.

Is that only after a few drinks buddy?

Yeah I was told in the past that Shadow's hand would do the trick maybe the paint is lighter/darker on his hand.

 

[dedguy]

I totally don't understand what you're saying… I'd have to be drunk to think they look close enough to the P2 hands but then you agree with me that they are?

Anyway, this pic from the previous page uses the Shadow Pred hands. I'll takes some comparison pics in a sec. They're not just slightly different coloring they're also a little bit bigger.

I was just joking with you buddy as we all know that drink makes us see things a little bit different assuming you like a drink of alcohol.

Looking forward to seeing the comparison pics.

 

[dedguy]

I still don't get it but here's the comparison pics. I used the right spear gripping hand as it's the most 1-1 comparison. None of the other hands are in the same poses. Even the fists have different poses (the P2 hands have the thumb out).

P2 is the smaller light colored hand.

Also took another pic. You can kinda see here my ghetto shoulder cannon arm replacement. I actually have two different ones. One I use for when it's up on his shoulder, one for when it's on his back. They're both basically just pieces of rigid square plastic tubing heated and bent to something like the right shape.

I see what you mean with the hands now. No mixing them together but if you are using Shadow's left then you would pose the right with his hand too.

Nice mod buddy. How many mods did you do on him?

 

[dedguy]

Did a bunch of stuff, custom leatherwork, repainted all the armor, TD mask and cannon that I painted, replaced all strings, etc.

 

[Sidious-66]

Do you have a complete shot of him so that I can see him in all his glory?

Were you not happy with him stock then?

 

[dedguy]

Oh I was happy with him stock. I just enjoy customization and painting so I go looking for stuff to change. These days I generally don't buy stuff unless it's something I'm going be repainting or using for custom fodder of some sort.

Is this something like what you where looking for picture wise?

That City Hunter is awesome buddy, well done.

Did you do any mod/paint to the body?

 

[dedguy]

Nope the body remains stock.

 

[Sidious-66]

Nope the body remains stock.

Okay. Is that you done modding him?

Is the custom mask much better than the stock mask. Although I like the custom mask every picture I see of the custom mask it looks ace.

Hi guys, just finished painting my TD's P2 mask. Thanks to dedguy for the tips on painting this mask. I added LED in the mask too, it looks pale without the laser.
