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

[Kiva]

Heon, Classic is the way to go. Trust the guy who has had them all. And 4 originals.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Patience is the way to go.

You'll only be kicking yourself what could be as little as a few months down the line when HT show their new original and the first original price bottoms out.

I think now that quality is better than quantity, in this case look is better than articulation. Maybe another time original. Jesus, it's going to be hard for me to let go of this. I will get classic though something inside of me probably and alien is telling me to go for the original. Plus the dude with the joker as his photo, you're basically taking a bargain if you go with patience. No offense, but HT won't release a 1/6 original predator since the classic just came out.

EDIT: not just came out but "newest" predator released.

I doubt they're going to release practically the same damn figure in a few months.

Blown up version of Classic with added accessories for the new 1/4 P1 most probs.

 

[Kiva]

a new P1 wont be out for 2 years or so? Its pretty evident that they have just brought specs and pics for P2 which wont be out until end of the year after they have brought out "classic" and next on the line will be the avp line which if we keep at our current rate Scar in Summer and Wolf end of next year. And this is just the 1:6 scale

 

[greygoose]

aand Wolf end of next year. And this is just the 1:6 scale

I hope sooner.

 

[Wulf]

I hope sooner.

Me too!

Yeah, but this soon? Really?

AvP Predators will most likely be next..then P2 Elder, then Wolf.
Maybe a Losty inbetween them.

I think maybe: Scar > P2 Elder > Maybe a Lost Predator > Wolf & 1/4 P1 and Dutch thrown in there somewhere.

Yea it's official, I will get classic predator in the next week or so, still haven't bought it though. I feel really bad to let the original predator go since I've been chasing it down for almost a whole year, though I believe I've made the right choice. Sorry for some certain people if I let you down. Since this is going to be my first HT, I want it to be complete, not used, includes everything and of course a great figure.

Their P2 Elder sculpt is the best they have done. It's going to be a sad day when he's revealed with re-used Classic/ Shadow mandibles.

I welcome a Scar in 1/4 next. Dreads need to be much longer and more dense than what HT has been putting out for the last 5 predators.

Just a feeling but 'fat chance of that'. Sarcasm and pun intended.

If you set yourselves up and prepare for the worst with reused sculpts of Classic and Shadow then anything better than that is a bonus.

Man it would be hard for them to top that sculpt by a long shot. At best, add some mandibles and a slightly better paintjob. Otherwise, it'll probably look the same. Kinda like the old P2 head. Just needs a new paint job from a pro and it would be more accurate in so many ways compared to the new P2 head.

I think the dreads on the old AVP preds were pretty good on length and thickness minus the annoying wires.

The fact that you're right makes it a very sad sad day in high end collecting. With the amount we pay for plastic, we should expect the best and not the other way around.

Sadly I don't know where the decision lies at Hot Toys HQ...

Are the bosses saying that they must be more economic and reuse as much as possible or is it down to lazy sculptors? Or both?

The most important is that you like it once you have it. And I doubt you won't, especially since it's your first HT Predator! Good luck, post pics when you get it on the Classic Predator thread.

They did it in the movie with the re·use of P1 and P2 parts...
