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

[P.]

According to P. he's a tour guide.

according to Thomas brothers and Stephen Hopkins he is not "an elder", "a clan leader" and so on, so give your own idea excluding those two if you're so clever )

The subtlety creates the allure.

I agree with that completely but by the end of the second film the mystery of the predator was pretty much spent. I know you mean the lost tribe, it's cool that over the years their mystery has propelled them. Hell I had no idea they had names till a few years ago. But I think they cut that scene way too short, you barley see them appear and not a few seconds later they leave. Would have been nice to let that scene breath a little and show those awesome designs more. I wonder if they deleted any scenes with them or if they were in a draft of the script with more to do. Just glad hot toys are making p2 elder again since I missed him the first time.

I used to watch that end scene over and over just to try and see more of all the different Predators.

Also did no one mention that the "Elder" is also just more wrinkly than the others? That's the main thing that always made me think of him as older.

Its kind of sad i watched the end of over and over again as well.But i think the reason we would do that is because we never got another movie.I dont get it, did predator 2 do poor in the box office

there's outtakes of them all dancing in their costumes and you get a better look at the designs

Cuz poor minded ppl are too cool to waste their money on something good

Time goes on but nothing changes.

 

[BadMuthaDude]

I never really put much thought into it before but I don't understand what all those predators were doing down there anyway. It looks like a whole clan of predators went through a lot of trouble landing on earth and hiding just to wait on one of them while they hunt, before just taking off again. And since we've only seen them lose, when is their hunt finished?

 

[darkmoon2112]

is there any news for the new predator movie?

Predator hunt for the hobby and sport so it won't finish

I always thought that he was a chief cook and bottle washer.

Adjusted for inflation, that equals to roughly $101,674,166.00
Not too shabby really. Unfortunately the link does not show the production budget for the film.

Good points...

 

[S. Griffin]

Machiko refers to Cracked Tusk (based on Grayback/Elder/whateverrthe****peoplewannacallhim from Predator 2) as the clan leader, right? I always thought that was a good designation.

Well, whatever he is, he is clearly more experienced, more decorated by trophies, grey in the hair, has lots of wrinkles on his forehead and more facial hair...I think he is definitely older than the others, more grizzled for sure with old war wounds, and in a position of leadership or position to reward a victor in the least.

The older, more experienced is usually placed in a higher position in tribal society...

I'm gonna go with the clue that he is "grey" because he is "old and--"
And due to whatever experience he has, it has placed him in this leadership role...remember the other preds acknowledging him before they excuse themselves?
Sign of respect is usually shown to the head of the group.

I just hope they re-issue the AVP elder now....I never did get him

His hunt is finished when he makes his prize kill - Lt. Mike Harrigan.

Notice City Hunter's trophy case was the only one open in the ship, he was the only one we saw hunting, adding trophies to it, etc, indicating that this hunting trip to Earth was for him alone.

Just to be clear, Broken Tusk aka Dachande is the predator clan leader from the AvP comics. Cracked Tusk is the name of the Kenner toy.

Yeah, pretty much this.

 

[CollectorGuy]

I always just assumed grey was his natural color, not due to age. I mean Ram has blue skin.

 

[RIDDICK]

Greyback isn't grey, he's basicaly same as the original Predator with faded black areas and completely grey... back (obviously, lol).

Ram still has black locks.
Also Hippie has mostly milky skin, doesn't mean he's the oldest
