HT 14" Predator full spec and hi-res pics

But I do have a question. Is there a masked and and an unmasked head? Or is the mask just a mask. And if it is, where in the heck are the batteries stored and what kind does it take? Those have to be tiny!

im assuming that either mask will fit on the head with the closed mandibles and wont fit with open mandibles (meaning the mandibles/jaw is what gets changed out as wanted).............but seeing how this will be my first pred , i may be wrong.....

I just don't understand why the exclusive head doesn't light up. Would have made more sense to me the other way around. To me battle damage damages things, so a light not working makes sense. But the undamaged helm is the one that doesn't light up. That just doesn't make any sense to me.

Just gotta read the product details...

The mask is removable. There appears to be a battery compartment and activation button on the back here, so presumably some cable runs from the back armor to the mask to power it.

I would guess the wires that connect to the left side of the mask supplies power to it.

If the battery pack is on the back armor and the mask is lit via a micro cable that is some cool engineering. I haven't decided to keep this fig as the P1 or kitbash it into a younger version of the P2 Elder.

I preordered the exclusive, it looks great. Hopefully I'll have the cash for it.

I wish they had incorporated sound, it'd be awesome if it could laugh like Billy or whisper "anytime."

 

[barryo]

not knowing the specs of this item but somewhat familiar with electronics........the light up mask could easily have a "hot-shoe" connection that the other mask doesn't come with & if that is the case, lighting the other mask will not be that difficult. but i would need more info about this to be more confident in that statement.

surfing around the net a bit and ran across this skull set..........not too bad......might make for a nice lil' bag of predator goodies............for 14 bucks +shipping (around $20 US)....

May want to re-read the description...they're 1/16th scale...around scale for a 4-5" figure?

It's most likely cost. As is it's running close to $200 with shipping and for some it's probably already over that. You can't scare more people away from it.

I've read many state, "What a terrible exclusive." Aside from not lighting up I like it. It's not a must have, but cool none the less. I can always try my hand at wiring it up.

It's funny how many thought that you'd better hurry up and get this (Predator in general) because it's going to sell fast. The production run for this must be enormous.

From what I read, most of you guys ordered it immediately when it became available. How did you know what time it was going to start ON sale?

every thursday evening (PST) sideshow puts out a newsletter, and often times that is when new items go on sale.

 

[Kratos]

I just ordered the EX yay

 

[Kratos]

Just wondering but why hasn't the EX sold out yet?

Just wondering but why hasn't the EX sold out yet?

I was thinking the same exact thing. Maybe it's because everyone wanted to buy him last night but couldn't. I don't know for sure though. But i do know that a lot of people bought this guy elsewhere (besides SSC).

 

[JacktheRipper]

Yeah, it might be a kiss and make up move on Sideshow's part. However, it is odd that it's still available. Figured they give it a day and close it all up.

............dammit !!!!!............

 

[Kratos]

So uh what do people think of the Ex ?

 

[Buttmunch]

I just don't why it doesn't light up. If we are already paying extra for the extra mask is it too much to ask that it lights up? No way the extra mask alone costs 5 bucks. If it lit up though, it would.

$5 for just a paint job and extra plastic isn't bad, it'd probably be $20 if there were electronics.

I can also live with the extra $5....but then previous Sideshow HT exclusives (BD P2, Cleaner Wolf) didn't require an extra charge

I'm totally getting this. I don't like the bullet holes on the BD mask at all.

I'm not too bothered by the lack of lights since I hardly turn them on after awhile.
