I got a completist mentality myself but for $2k on the ani-com? I can easily pass. Glad I got all the other ones displayed in my detolf. They will stay there until all hell breaks loose and I gotta let some of them go. But I don't see that anytime soon. Maybe never?
I agree bro, I got mine in my detolfs and I'm not letting go
If they re-release any of those, I hope they'll use better bodies and head sculpts. Those early Preds look pretty bad without the masks on, IMO.

it would be cool if they released the preds with new bodies imagine the people that have the old ones they would probably be so mad and try to get rid of them before the new ones sell out thats what you get for being greed .
dont mean to rain on anyones parade, but ppl always hope and pray they will re-release them new and improved, but it will NEVER EVER happen.

probably not... unless HT decides it's profitable enough.
agreed on all points. and i've had most of them.
nope, not even then. Its already known that it would be a huge profit for them already cause there are lots of ppl that dont have the originals, that would buy up new and improved ones. What effect would this have? All the ppl that payed thousands of dollars to get the ones they have will be pissed; not only cause there is a new and improved version, but because if they want to go out and sell the originals, they wont be able to sell them for half as much as they payed for them and the point of making them to begin with is for it to be considered a collectible. If new and improved versions were ever made, it would make the first versions become like Neca figures really, meaning not much collectiblity to them and making their company unreliable. If another AVP gets made and say the Elder Pred from AVP makes an appearance, then theres justification for a new figure, but thats very unlikely to occcur as well.

1 . thats to bad for them they shouldn't have paid so much for them.
2. they did it with bat man and iron man why not predators?
2. they did it with bat man and iron man why not predators?
1. That wouldnt be a very smart thing to say to customers, thats how you lose them
2. With Batman, like I mentioned before, the OC suit made an appearance in TDK, so theres opportunity and reason right there to make an improved version. Since the classic Pred looks a lot like the original P1 and made his lousy appearance in the new film, theres a justifiable reason for it to be re-made. I dont know what you mean with IM cause even though the difference isnt much in design, the Mark III and Mark IV are not the same and the BD Mark III obviously has BD, setting it apart from the original release. Theres no justifiable reason or opportunity for the original AVP Preds to be remade unless HT wants to lose the respect and $ from a large percentage of their fan base.

sorry, i don't buy the "piss off the 'fans'" argument. HT has zero incentive to accommodate johnny-come-lately collectors who got their figures from the secondary market. HT doesn't see a dime from what some idiot blew his whole paycheck on ebay for, or from the deadbeat who sold it. even IF they "pissed off thousands of fans", most of those same fans would still buy remakes/re-releases and be thankful for it. i would too. i'd buy a new-and-improved P2 Elder in a heartbeat. my old one is cool, but HT can do so much better these days. they did it with the DX Joker.
You can disagree, but I'm tellin ya, it will never happen. You can disregard the "piss off fans" argument, but the collectibility argument will stick. The only way you will see a improved Elder is if he makes an appearance in a future Pred movie. HT would lose all credibility if they just decide they will go back and re do figures whenever they want, not to mention they have so many new licenses and projects going on all the time, i dont see them having the time or putting in the effort.

i'm not saying they'll remake any preds, i'm just saying the "piss off the fans" thing doesn't hold water. their "credibility" comes from making amazing collectibles, not artificial scarcity. it's more likely they have so much on their plate license-wise that they just can't do it logistically any time soon. i guess time will tell.

i agree with this, even tho it would hurt some collectors who wasted money. If i buy something and a better version is released in the future, i live with my decision and keep the old figure or sell it and pay the difference and try to learn from it. Nowadays I only buy something if i feel it is a great representation of something and nothing will be better enough to warrant a new purchase.
