Nice Xmas drop if true!

 

[Draqkerrr]

true! it's funny I remember that the announcement of the JH MMS90 was released in December 2008

If this doesn’t drop next week I’m genuinely going to be so upset

Still don't trust them to get it right.

All eyes on that unmasked head sculpt.

I’m with you on that. As long as they do better than the Classic Predator sculpt I’ll be happy though. They need to use a similar sculpt to the Elder Predator in Predator 2 as that sculpt to me is the superior one that Hot Toys has made along with the Heavy Weaponry Wolf. The Elder predator costume is actually the same costume used for the Jungle Hunter from the first movie but just customised to make it look like a different Predator.

Your words "do better" is part of the problem. They might do better however it's almost 2025. Jungle Hunter is their flagship Predator. The sculpt should be as accurate as possible, especially given the 15 year time difference since the original release - as an artist/company, you'd like to showcase just how much better you've become in that time.

Lastly, and I know it won't happen, but the masked and unmasked heads should be individual pieces. No more nasty looking seams on the mandibles.

Honestly I agree with you on that completely. I feel like Prime 1 studios have nailed the Jungle Hunter Predator but only in statues unfortunately. They need to take a page from their book with this release for sure.

I also agree with this. They need to make two scults. One helmeted and one unmasked to get rid of the seam lines and also add the correct quills

Even NECA nailed it back in 2011 or 2012 - whatever year the 1/4 came out.

Sadly, a separate unmasked head with no seams and quills just won't happen.

Fellow Predator friends, please check out my latest post in the Off Topic/OG Freaks thread.

With a new Jungle Hunter on the horizon, I'm hoping to be more active now.

Imagine this drops today! I’ll straight up lose my marbles

Think it might be tomorrow.

I'm always awake in the early hours these days so I see the Hot Toys Instagram posts about 4:00am. As soon as I saw Batman I knew today wouldn't be the day.

That would be nice to wake up to. I’m from Sydney Australia so they usually drop at like 12pm, 4pm, 6pm. Always random times with a day full of anticipation and anxiety waiting for this to just drop already ahaha

That's a long day of waiting. Luxury of being in the UK is that you can get the disappointment out of the way early on.
