Hot Toys MMS233 -Predator 2 - 1/6th scale Elder Predator 2.0 Collectible Figure

[Bo Shrek]

I am curious to see how the back looks. Nice figure. I don't think I will be making the purchase. Crazy that HT can take it too about 95% then drop the ball (mandibles). If I'm asked to pay $225 I want no ***** dropped. At $170 sure sure why the **** not!!!

 

[BadMuthaDude]

Ordered. My City Hunter can use some company.

 

[BugStomper]

Celtic pre-order can wait!!

I do agree with everyone that has said he should have come with a Dio base. Small number of accessories the base would have sweetened the deal.

There is no doubt HT put a lot of effort to figure. But it does feel like bar bones at a high price. I think a low res backdrop of the full trophy wall would have been awesome.

 

[P.]

Yep Ive bought em all...

not speaking about buying.
but about saying "shut up until you sculpt something yourself".
by that kind of logic Uwe Boll is commented by losers for no reason.

see the HT reaction for "please improve the sculpts" in this picture?

 

[LipSmack]

Dont know who uwe boll is...

but until a company can actually compete with HT they will dominate, and I like what theyre doing... ill sure as hell never be able to sculpt anything close to good, especially with $225 worth of materials... all im saying

Trophy wall back drop would have been amazing! Hell I'd pay double the price if they went all out and included a 1/6th trophy wall. Wishful thinking but maybe one day

How much was the first run going for back then?.
Knowing I dont have to assemble this guy makes me want to pick him up more but still. Herrty price.
Almost a must when you have the rest

 

[Bo Shrek]

In a way I am thankful that Tsang is sculpting these Predators. Yes the sculpt is there but the "essence" or "spirit" of the character is missing. I have known Predator 2 since watching in theatres, to buying the VHS, to buying the SE DVD etc. I think 22 years. That is enough time to have a feel of a character. When a figure comes along and is unable to capture the "essence/spirit" I have know for this long then there is no temptation to buy it. As a result it is about a $450 savings (including city Hunter). If the head sculpt happened to capture the spirit of the characters then I would be obligated to buy and display being proud of having a high end figure finally in 3D form right in front of me representing a 22 year relationship. So thanks you Tsang because I do care for movie accuracy!!

God the first one was such a pain in the ***... didnt know of the the heating up technique on the leg armor, most frustrating experience ever

I THINK $95 back then.

 

[LipSmack]

I THINK $95 back then.

$129.99 on SS I think

 

[nsmpls]

I gave in.
I had reward points and have always wanted this one.
Couldn't justify ebay prices and with the point knocking off $97, I couldn't say no

The best thing I can say about this version is that his body will be better proportioned; his leg want look so skinny.

and his arms wont be so long

also I hope HT resculpts the gun and sword hand... those sculpts may be a bit dated
