They should make a predator movie where he is situated I the outback of australia - theres plenty of mountains, rock pools , and rain forests in the upper northern parts. The movie could be set 500 years ago or earlier and he hunts the aboriginie tribes who were themselves expert hunters . the scenery itself would provide awesome mystique which is what recent predator films lacked

regarding the scar predator figure, I just got mine a few days ago , it was an early Christmas present from my wife .
WOW WOW WOW , I have most of the new body type predators and this one is by far the best one yet .
The body paint is excellent , the sculpt o the face is excellent and everything is perfect --- except for the lenses .
I painted mine boltgun metal then applied gloss over it . - Quick and easy adjustment .
I will post a pic later tonight -- for once I have a hot toys predator where he doesn't require loads of adjustments - like the city hunter.
I think the sales are down due to a number of reasons :
1) The price that scalpers are selling it for - I saw one on ebay go for 500.00+
2) people are scared it will be another city hunter with QC issues.
3) AVP wasn't everyone's favourite film and not a lot of people are looking for this figure in the market
4) stocks are running very low in some countries and sellers are not buying any more .
5) the economy and the fact that the AVP line has been done before .
6) Its been overshadowed by Ironman ,Batman and Marvel people just tend to go for those figures lately ( been said before )
7) People are really only hoping for a new version of the P1 and Wolf -me included . I think once that is released the Predator line by hot toys will cease.
8) it should have come with a base of some sort , rather than the stock standard stand. An ice stand similar but bigger to the superman stand reeve stand would been been great
There isn't anything wrong with SCAR 2.0 , but I think now people have gone to great lengths and expense to get the original releases, they don't want to go through that pain again , its kind of like I phone 5 and iphone 5s - does it really offer anything new and versatile to a general collector , does the value increase because it is more accurate and better paint etc .

yeah noland was a terrible character , he would of been better if he showed them and explained more on how he killed the predators , and where he came from etc -- the hot toys figure still is on my list for completing the line, but hes not something I would go out of my way to collect .

All this talk of Noland makes me miss Mr. EcKo's 'Fatburn' thread. Ha, good times! 
I agree with you also, as he had a lot of potential to be a great character in the movie. That being said, I highly recommend him. He comes with great accessories and the detail on him is top notch.
watched AVP last night , having the new Scar standing there next to the tv is an awesome thing to do . I do notice though that the dreads seem to be too fat when you compare them to the movie appearance and the beads are more of a dark tarnished colour rather than gold. Could be just the lighting I suppose .everything else is spot on .
I might repaint the beads with games workshop black washes to darken it -- . I liked AVP as a movie in general especially on Blue Ray , but I especially liked the ancient aliens scene in the middle . That was fantastic . I wish they could make a movie based on that .
Scar 2.0 feels a lot like a super predator in terms of bulk and weight but you cant stand him next to the berserkers because scars dreadlocks make the berserkers dreads look like they hardly have any length. Stand him next to city hunter and its even worse.

Heres my SCAR 2.0 - I redid the lenses - I sprayed them Gloss Aluminium first then applied Boltgun Metal - (games workshop paint) then sprayed gloss over it. I like how it looks.

Maybe this is just for me seeing as I'm still waiting for this guy but some UK based retailers are saying that they are due to get this guy in either at the end of the week or next week.
About time too.

It is typical though as the workload will be increasing from Monday so I will not get the chance to fully appreciate him until the 'peak' workload is over.

Any thoughts on the Celtic Predator guys?
Thinking about getting a single Predator from Hot Toys and trying to make a choice which I like better; the new Scar or City Hunter / silver hightech or bronze monster if you will.
Scar is still on pre-order here, but I came across the Celtic today. Forgive my noobishness, but I don't see much difference between the two and I am liking Celtic a bit better.

Definitely get what you like bud. But having said that, you might kick yourself later for not picking up both
You can pose them together and stuff which is often cool and worth the price of admission itselfSimilar threads
