Hot Toys MMS72 - Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer (Predator)

[a-dev]

Man, and DX10 is in turn kinda small compared to newer figures like Cavill Superman and Affleck Batman.

HT scale has been kind of funky lately. I know Affleck is a tall guy, maybe taller than Arnie so that makes sense but I feel like Arnie has to be taller than Cavill.

As for a 1/6 body for a good Dutch swap, I’ve yet to see one. M34 comes close, but still too big.

I could be wrong, but I think I saw an M34 body swap once and the pants couldn't properly close. Or was it the TTM20?

Since the search function works again, one at least has a chance at investigating these older figures... but it would be easier for everyone if Hot Toys just released 2.0s.

Dutch unfortunately was made during an intermediary phase in Hot Toys bodies when muscled characters were assumed to have skipped ALL leg days and so Dutch's pants were tailored too small. This makes body swaps problematic, together with ever-changing neck/head socket situations.

So yes, a 2.0 would be nice. And what the hell happened to the 1/4 scale version they said they were making. How have HT put out zero Schwarzenegger in 1/4 scale?

(I love that spellcheck insists on the correct spelling of Arnie's name)

Have they still got the license?

If they have, they need to stop sitting on it and give us a JH 2.0 and Dutch 2.0 or let someone else have a go.

I tend to assume Hot Toys still have the license (likewise Terminator and Alien) when I'm not seeing Blitzway or some other competitor announcing they have it.

But maybe there's other factors I'm not considering.

I am hoping since Predator is now a Disney Princess that Hot Toys will revisit the line. I got into these too late to get Dutch but have Classic and City Hunter. Would love to see a proper Jungle Hunter 2.0.

Yeah, just thought they'd be putting out more Predator stuff given the amount of products on the market at the minute - especially JH and CH Preds.

Would you offer a painted version without the face paint? Looks good!

Phicen M34 is the perfect body to replace the stock. My stock legs broke off. Haven't regretted it. Also changed the boots.

 

[FlyAndFight]

It bears repeating endlessly but we need a new "Dutch" and Jungle Predator ASAP.

Truly surprised why a 3rd Party hasn't at least tackled Dutch yet.

Nice pose, I got my Dutch on a phicen now. It works pretty good. The original Dutch body of mine, the legs pretty much crumbled away. I think I will just add a bit of acrylic gloss to the body, to give it the sweat look.

Im still endlessly surprised that no one has tried to make a Dutch since HT produced this back in 2009!
Such an iconic timeless classic. Who knows if HT still has the Pred license Even if they do, a well done unlicensed fig would not go a miss.

 

[MGS_OldBoy57]

Predator is one of my favorite movies. I would love it if Hot Toys did a DX Dutch with PERS.

Great looking pair, Kam. We truly need a new version of these two figures.

 

[Miltiadis Kyvernitis]

I was considering the M34 as well and bought one but after inspecting the M34 and comparing it to the original HT body I decided the stick with the original HT body.

A couple things to consider:

The M34 seems to have a wider waist, I don?t think tucking in the brown shirt is possible after a swap. The camo pants might be really tight. Careful with the webbed belt.

The arms pop off the HT body which makes removing the camo tank top easy, but putting that camo tank on over the M34 arms/chest may stretch that fabric to the point of ripping because its an older figure/fabric.

Clothes fit fine on the M34.

You try tucking in that brown shirt?
