Hot Toys Predator, Predator 2, Predators, AvP, AvP:R 1/6 + 1/4 scale announcement

[BlueLeader]

I think it's great HT is making new/old sixth preds and will be buying them with excitement.

 

[Terminator_Fan_Game]

Its really hard to tell what scale it is IMO. To me it looks like its too big to be 1/6 and too small to be 1/4 lol

 

[Kiva]

It does look 1:5. But it does not look anywhere near the Neca height and the figure does look like it needs majorly trimmed so im assuming a chunky AVP.

 

[vareika]

Possible that they sculpt in non standard (meaning not necessarily 1/4 or 1/6) initially? I think Neca does that right?

 

[Kiva]

Maybe they will sculpt it 1:5 so they can blow it up to 1:4 and down to 1:6 easier...

 

[RIDDICK]

1/6 Duckbill, Grayback, Wolf and Celtic.
Doubt that I'll get any 1/4's, they'll be too expensive and out of the collection's concept for me.

Slightly fixd to better reflect my point

 

[fosing]

that scale IS intentional....

they still havent fixed the "shrinking" error in the factory department. this is how they plan to solve that.

yeah, NECA does two-ups and tool the sculpts bigger or smaller as needed. most toy companies do that. but i don't think high-end collectible companies like SSC or HT have ever done it that i've heard of. what's in that pic is probably what we're getting.

Yeah, if I had to give an answer on whether I think its 1/6 or 1/4 or would go with 1/6 as like you said, it needs some major trimming.

Shrinking error LOL Who do they think we are to believe such bull____!

Do you guys think Lost and Guardian will get an update too?

 

[Kiva]

I don't at all. I think the lost's wont be touched but ones that have not yet seen a figure may. We only get to see a lost every year or so and at the current rate we still have 5 years to come before we have the entire clan. So it would be really bad to start over again.

Years down the line maybe. Going by the poster and the P2 pic that's a que of six already. That's a good 3/4 years worth of figures already.

those really didn't sell well so probably not. we're lucky they got made the first time.

If HT ends up messing up the scale on the "1/4" versions, they will lose a lot of sells. They have to get that right, or else a "1/4" Dutch will end up being smaller then the SS pf. There's no excuse for them to get that wrong when they have the Dutch pf and SS Predator maquette for reference in size.

Since none of their 1/6 Predators have been accurate in scale..be prepared to be disappointed.

I bet we get them in a year and a half top two years. They keep speeding through releases.

 

[azurepred]

I won't be dissapointed; if anything, it will save me money. Even if they are out of scale, I would still get a Elder and Celtic in 1/5 scale since I know SS is putting out a 1/4 P2 and Wolf.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

I'd say the next 4-5 years are going to be fully focused on main characters in 1/6 and 1/4 scale.

@azurepred

If they're much closer to 1/5, the prices better not exceed 325$ or so.

Scale wise, Id rather have a Predator look too big than look too small.
