Hot Toys - MMS190 - Alien vs. Predator: 1/6th scale Scar Predator Collectible Figure

[greygoose]

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.

Celtic all the way. I've owned City Hunter and didn't like him. Scar is a great looking figure but Celtic tops it for me, his mask is one of my favourites and overall he looks boss.

If you can hold off buddy then I would suggest maybe wait to see if the Jungle Hunter re-release will come soon.

I got time believe me. Predator is not one of my focus lines, just want a single cool looking one plus accuracy is not important to me.
Because of EU delays I can wait for inhand pics before the pre-order window closes. Right now Celtic is on top, identical weapons, great bio design and killer base.

Well I have Classic, the new P2 one and Berserker and I should have Scar next week and Celtic is on PO.

I like them all but if I had to keep one then it would either the new P2 or Classic, it is a tough one to answer.

Tracker is still the best Pred I've owned. I still have him and he looks great with the hound.

Scar 2.0 really is great value for money - I love it . I think its sad that not many people are buying him . Maybe after Christmas people will start purchasing . There might be a few getting it for Christmas . Mine was a Christmas present , but it was too hard holding on for 4 weeks knowing its packed up in my wardrobe wrapped up . I conned my wife into letting me have it early if she could have her present early . It was a deal. The thing that really surprised me when I opened him was the amount of stuff you get with it . Excellent value for money . Its been one week since I opened him and the love is still there. I noticed the spear holding right hand tends to scratch a little when putting the spear in .

Thinking of making a custom ice base on the weekend or some sort of scene inside the pyramid from the movie for Scar 2.0 . I feel he needs something like that to give him just a bit more awesomeness

Scar in general is just amazing . If you sitting on the fence about buying him you wont regret it.

Only thing I don't like about Scar is his hands. Compare them to Berserker or Tracker and Scars just fails with a thick splash of black

Indeed, great bargain!

I have my eyes on this one. I'm sure I could get him at retail once my PO smoke clears. Though I'm thinking of getting Celtic instead, given its more impressive accessory set.

Got my Email saying Scar will be in stock in five working days! The wait is almost over…

This guy is really done well!

lee ward from The Good The Bad And The Robots Just came round and dropped off my 2 Scars and had a coffee as usual

loving the heft on this fig nice and weighty and the body is so much better than the original.

Agreed except for his hands. THe thick black paint hides all sculpt details. Poor job IMO.
Compare Scar's hands to Berserker or Tracker and you will see what I mean.

I'm getting 3 and yeah different weps, stances and bio's

its great to see people warming up to SCAR 2.0 he is by far my absolute favourite ht pred , then classic , then tracker . City hunter is sort of my favourite

I spotted another flaw yesterday though , the shoulder cannon arm is mounted in the wrong spot , it should be further down the backpack rather than at the top. There is no way you can fix that without modding it in a major way . Considering you don't really see that area in the film that much it doesn't really matter. But When I watched the making of AVP - it stands out like black on white. I also think the armour needs to be darker or have more of a darker silver colour - im not sure though.

Mine arrived today! They nailed the bulkiness of the AvP Preds such an awesome figure. I would recommend Scar 2.0 over any Predator they have released so far.
