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

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

So this is $230? That's exactly $100 up from their first Scar.

Looks not bad to me! But im still deciding on selling my old ones and maybe keeping Classic and getting the new P2.
I still hope they make a P2 Elder (remake) and Hippie. Its hard to travel, taking these guys with me and I still want to see the world.

 

[Sage Yautja]

hm.. i will PO 3 pcs,
1 pcs will keep original,
1 pcs will customize become celtic; and
1 pcs will customize become chopper

Here is someone unpatient!

It's for the re-sale value dummy!

I wouldn't really count on these going up in value. Look at the super preds or even shadow and classic. Hell samurai is still up on sideshow's website. I think hot toys is pretty much flooding the market because they know what their toys sold for on aftermarket websites.

I feel like the camp fire i had going on Predator figures had died out. Turns out this morning, a gust of wind came along and blew away a layer of ash to reveal some red embers.

I really cant wait to get this, i think as a re-release it looks exactly how it should.

 

[Reefer Shark]

And finally!!! I don't regret selling the original HT AVP preds years ago.

This. Will. Be. Miiiine.

I think the body paint app is the biggest thing holding me back right now.

Might not be as inaccurate as I'm thinking, I'll need to watch the movie again.

Oh, and the fact that the price increases $10 with every single release.

I'm surprised and relieved that the head isn't a total rehash, I think it should be larger though and the roaring mandibles just don't look right without a roaring mouth to go with them.

Nah, I'm just messing around.

 

[edstuff]

Aah, ok then
Carry on

I'm getting better vibes from Scar then I did after I saw P2. I've only just accepted P2 for what he is now.

 

[RIDDICK]

So the first version is obviously better. . .

the first version looks a lot better

finally tsang can make his ugly sculpts and actually fit the original!!!

Some angles to me look very good and some look just like the Classic. Anybody else see that?

Well basicly Tsang just reused Shadow/Classic/CH head adding Scar's jaws and mandibles.

Yes, the underjaw should be interchangeable! The expression looks unnatural on those pics.

The armor is also not the right one when it goes for scale and lenght of some of the parts. mgbb did a good job on making it accurate.

Turn to the Tsang side.

Nope, put you're glasses on, ol daddy. It resembles the other releases but it's definitley not reused, even the underjaw looks differend and the texture is not the same.

Oh definitely. This is a far superior advancement in accuracy than it's original whereas the new P2 is a downgrade.

Honestly, that's exactly what I thought when I first saw it but everyone seemed to think otherwise and I haven't seen the movie in a while nor have I payed much attention to the P2/Classic/Snake figures...

Uhg. I want to live in a world where making an accurate Predator is simpler than traveling to the moon.

Gets me excited for the 1:4 version. My only complaint with this guy is the bio-mask. Likeness-wise, it's fairly off.

Ofcourse it's different - he sculpting OVER basic head.

He didn't actually bcoz... he can't
It's all about totally wrong body proportions and armor scale.

Yeah I mentioned that earlier in this thread. The thigh and loin armor plates are way too short (as they were on the first release six years ago).


Body color is definitely off. That and the armor length is what's holding me back now.

Jesus. It looks like Scar. So, so what if there is a resemblance to a previous Predator!? They're the same species! It looks like Scar so it doesnt matter what they used as a base to work on top of as long as what we got looks like what we need. The heads got a new everything. Re-using a pre existing tool in your arsenal and tweaking it is not a bad thing as long as it works.
