1/6 Hot Toys Wolf Predator 2.0

I do.

I’m actually at a phase where I’m trying to curtail the amount of figures I have, and just whittle it down to the things I really like. Deciding which characters I would consider accessories rather than necessities, etc. There’s a lot of universes and films that I like, so I like to have a variety and try not to put too much emphasis on one thing and try to just get the characters that I think capture the essence of that film or franchise best. Hence, why I don’t really have any interest in Preds like Tracker, Falconer, or Celtic, being that I consider them sort of secondary characters. I also have a fourth detolf on standby that I just need to figure out where to put. Trimming some fat and adding another detolf should thin things out a bit.

I’d like my Predator collection to look as follows, as these are the ones that I think capture the essence of each film:

P1 - JH
P2 - CH, Elder
AvP - Scar, Elder
AvPR - Wolf
Predators - Berserker, Classic
The Predator - Nada

AvP Scar and Celtic.

Fixed !

Nice! How did you do it, if you don’t mind me asking?

That was easy. All you need to do is to cut that grip part. turned it over and reglued.

AvP Scar and Celtic.

That occurred to me, but being that I always like to display my Predators with their bio-masks on, the Elder not having his on provides some variety. Plus, Scar and Celtic are essentially the same figure to me, just differing bio-masks. The Elder like I said has his bio-mask off, and also has a cape.

Heres what I did to mine, thanks to juggernaut88's advice:

Pried it apart at the bottom of the canon, turned the barrel around, put some glue and put it back together.
I still need to add a lil bit of silver paint at the seam.
Thank you again for the advice juggernaut88.

That was my first idea but i didnt want to spent to much time fixing and repainting that thing. Cutting and reglueing took me 3 minutes. No repainting required.

Nice, not too bad then. Thanks guys! I bought a spare from TA last week in case I screwed it up...

 

[predarnold]

You won't screwed it up. It's easy.

Can you be more specific about what you cut? I want to cut as little as possible.

Use exacto knife. Whole grip area needs to be separated

wait, but it won't turn then.
or it doesn't turn from the beginning?

 

[predarnold]

It will turn. Just be careful with the glue.

 

[P.]

i think i'll either wait until they appear separately on ebay (to experiment freely) or better not use the stupidly looking thing at all.

 

[CollectorGuy]

So cut the cylinder or the handle? I'm still not clear on exactly what you cut. Some more details would be nice. I don't even have the figure, but i want to have it known before hand.

 

[predarnold]

Cut the connection between the cylinder and the grip. Turn it upside down and reglue it.

 

[CollectorGuy]

OK so cut where the grip meets the cylinder, flip it over, reglue. Wish i could try this now.

 

[predarnold]

Yes, thats it.

Received this beauty today. I am having major issues trying to get the second shoulder canon attached so I just taped it on for now. Is there a trick to attaching it like using pliers or something? Thanks.
The only other Hot Toys Predator I need now is the Elder from Predator 2.

God the details on this Wolf 2.0 are extraordinary. I am happy.


Edit: Well I finally figured out how to get it to fit properly however...as soon as I would try to make an adjustment with the canon it would fall right off again...so I just glued it on...problem solved. I never plan on selling this figure and I never plan on removing the second shoulder canon so I had no issues with gluing it on. One cannot tell it has been glued on so as is well and I can finally sleep at ease tonight.
