Hot Toys - Prey: Feral Predator

[Spanbauer]

Oh WOW. THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!!!
Thanks for sharing those high quality photos - it looks amazing here.

Yeah complaints about the construction of the figure aside (exposed joints, etc), sculpt and paintwork is some next-level stuff. I didn't initially notice the real quills by his 'ears' and along his collar bone. They used to just paint those on.

exposed joints for the win! The less flaking and cracking issues the better, because we know its only a matter of time.

The dreads look bad though, hopefully they go back to the old style,.

The old style of dreads that cracked and faded?

I must be crazy but the dreads look awful

Its more forgivable than the body lol, but i mostly meant the singular planted ones instead of whatever this mess is in the pics above.

Oh wow that paint work really does look spectacular! I do t think they’ve taken a step backward, this figure does look really good. I wanna see it without the helmet. As much as I disliked the design of the face, I hope HT didn’t take any artistic liberties.

Boy did my hype for this movie die. I thought that I’d be over the moon to see this figure revealed, but I’m not that excited. If this were revealed along side the movie, they probably would have gotten me on that hype train. I guess it just goes to show exactly how much I like the design and the movie after I’ve had a long cooling period. Definitely a cool looking figure, exposed joints and all, but I don’t think I’ll be getting this one.

Exactly. Hot Toys should’ve put the teaser pics up for this as soon as the movie was out. They’ve lost out on a ton of sales because of their stupid marketing decisions.

It didn’t bother me much in the movie but seeing that video, he really should’ve had some sort of netting.

If they could paint Venom/Carnage seamless pieces then they could do it here too.

Joint are always the way to go, this looks awesome. Rubber bodies and suits that distort at the slightest pose are garbage, not to mention the possibility of degrading.

At a low enough resolution, everything 'just looks like a NECA figure'. How about some high quality imagery.

Not all that impressed to be honest.
Sure the paint is more detailed but it still looks like a scaled up NECA figure. Very similar looking joints too.
The design of this thing doesn't help, which isn't HTs fault.
The basic bone mask, lack of netting, dull skin colourisation, horrible noodle thin dreadlocks.

Personally I'm not asking for rubber bodies. But they haven't had a jointed torso body for Predators since the 1st gen Hot Toys. Last was the MMS126 Guardian believe, which was 13 years ago

I'm on board for this one. Been a minute since i cleared my stash of Celtic, Scar, and Classic. Now the wolf predator can use some company.

Guardian was that long ago? I remember the pre-order stress for that guy! What a fun time!

 

[greymask]

I don't mind the joints but they have to make better joints. The old predators and my AVP all have cracked joint problem in the thigh

Fun times were when we used to have to build these ugly mofo’s

Maybe that’s the Naru 2-pack? Isn’t that what they said in the sideshow con announcement last week?
