HT 14" Predator full spec and hi-res pics

[PredatorFreak13]

I agree, I think that the P1's face looks a tad bit long.

Well, one of the major factors for me has always been the enormous noggin on the preds. P1 looks a LOT more in proportion!

Indeed, the figure looks fantastic in that regard.

Yes, I agree. the head should be huge. But look at this picture and what a big difference it makes.

The P1 looks better overall with how the head and body match in proportion but I also like how you can't see the hip joints.

I do think some modification is probably needed, but looking at Devil's tweak, part of the illusion is the viewing angle, Predator's head is tiled down in that shot and from a fair distance back.

If you compare this image to the Sideshoe life size bust, which is a great reference, it's not as off as some pictures make it looks.

HT takes really nice photos of their figures for marketing, but they do a poor job of showing the depth and true shape of their Predator heads. It's tricky, you have to light and shadow them certain ways, but if you do it then you getter a better feeling they resemble the movie masks.

Devil's correct that the "nose" is too long, but one thing that's exaggerating the flaw is that, as you said, his head is titled down. In the film, Predator's head is almost always titled upward, which is going to give the illusion of a shorter "nose".

I just remember how nice he looks in this low angle shot and I feel fine

Ugh...yep. This just looks perfect to me. I simply cannot wait.

Guess this will have to keep me going for 5 months or so:

Seeing as your familiar with the whole Bat vs Pred/Alien thing, I hope you'll take some pics of them posing together!!

Don't matter what pic you mod.. regardless of whatever position the HT P1 is in, the nose/snout area is too long. Since you used the 1:1 bust as an example, here's a more accurate comparison since you the photos you used weren't even facing the same direction. smh.

Left: HT P1. Right: P1 Bust.

And here's the same pic modified so you can see it's not the angle.

Left: Modified HT P1. Right: P1 Bust.

Left: HT P1. Right: Modified HT P1.

Like I said, the snout/nose area is too long.

I took the liberty of cropping the pictures above and putting them next to each other so thus everyone could see the difference between the original predator and the modified one (the modified one - left - looks way better):

modified ....................................................................................... original HT

 

[Furious1]

The one thing I will do is heat up the mandibles and re-postion them.

 

[abake]

The difference is really very small...
But, being anal about Alien, I can understand and applaud the eye you guys have to spot the differences.
