HT original Predator- photo thread

[abouttreefitty]

@ Abouttreefifty : that's a sweet collection of Lone wolf & Cub ...and that Megahouse version MIB u got there ??? holy molly ...searched for 5 yrs for a decent priced Megahouse Manji and Lone wolf...

Thanks. It also took me many years to find the Megahouse Lone Wolf and Cub at a price that didn't make me go

I can't wait for the Triad Toys Lone Wolf and Cub figures to come out.

@Taylerdardem: that's a classy answer mate. I'll be PM ing each of you later on, (my limited posting number disables me from PM ing..)

@Abouttreefifty: Yeah I am settling with my Alfex for now . (boy some of them clearly shows their age by now) until the Triad pops out.

Ok nuff with the words, here are some pics to keep this thread up & up .

Sorry about the lack of pose variety too guys, I'm just experimenting with shadows here for now.

Another one

and another

 

[Mr. EcKo]

that's right. this mask is made by me. but askhland copy my mask for sale
there are people who only know how to take advantage of others' work

i used google translator for TD

Hola amigo, soy soory para escuchar y ver que su máscara perfecta ha sido refundido por alguien en el foro. creo que es bastante bajo e irrespetuoso para hacer eso para usted. lamentablemente no creo que nada puede hacerse al respecto, ya que no su tecnología patentada. espero que la persona se siente avergonzado por copiar otros artistas trabajo sólo para hacer algo de dinero. espero que esto no le impide hacer otras grandes máscaras en el futuro de mi amigo. Mike


heres the english version , very simple to understand for him

Hello friend , i am soory to hear and see that your perfect mask has been recasted by someone on the forum . i think its pretty low and disrespectful to do that to you . unfortunatly i don't think anything can be done about because its not patented . i hope that the person feels ashamed by copying another artists work just to make some money . i hope that this doesn't stop you from making other great masks in the future my friend . Mike

I'ma bump this thread with another set of pics, I hope that's alright
if I'm breaking any rule or something Thread Bosses feel free to delete.

A little opinion on this figure:
Its a good figure alright, but not without its flaws:
1. biomask size & fit obviously.
2. his right "naked" biceps feels skinny on some angles, makes the shoulder joint all the more distracting.
3. his dreads are near horrible, what you are seeing in my pictures... I've swapped the head with Gort's

Other than that...timeless.

Cheers folks !

 

[Mr. EcKo]

awesome pics ^^^^^ i agree with on what you said , he is far from perfect but i still love the figure

 

[ah_t00t]

wow nice!!!! the last pic seems like a movie poster

 

[jayveeeusebio]

Nice shots chupanegro! I really love my P1!

 

[viruz777]

Fantastic pictures chupanegro. You make the HT mask look good in it xD

No wonder the hair seemed so flowy and natural I thought you used the dread hot water mod or something.

 

[sprig0701]

Here's an easy mod for the cannon, for whoever hasn't done it yet.
Drill a small hole into that plug, and twist a screw into it. Grasp the screw and twist it back and forth gently until that plug pops out. Done! Opens the cannon up and makes it look so much better.

 

[a-dev]

Wow, stunning pics! Well posed, well lit and even the stock mask looks good. I presume its modded to fit better.

Thats a real shame about the TD biomask recasts. Low move.

nice shots. cool use of depth of field too. i miss light painting in the dark. :]

 

[chupanegro]

Cheers fellas, its an honor to share the same deadly passion here

@viruz777 : I actually did the hot water treatment with Gort, pros: if you're lucky them dreads hang low / cons: simmering those dreads with Hot water will lose some of its slight tightness and subtle shine .

@A-dev: cheers buddy, alas no modding done, maybe the Bio just sit better on Gort's head

@Ah-Toot: don't you just wish a predator film minus humans and xenomorphs ... just a bunch of predators killing each other honorably alas very very sadistically

Cheers all, yep, making use of shadows and limited lights WILL make your HT preds look from great to Holy grail like.

All in all , I've been lurking here for so long and I notice that most of you are specifically in favor of Terminator & Predator ...now if there's only a way to make those two cross paths

 

[Mr. EcKo]

Terminators VS Predators


EPIC

 

[a-dev]

The Gort predator is just a repainted P1 head, the mask shouldn't fit any differently on that one. You must have just captured good angles on it in your photos or something.

 

[fosing]

predators really looks great in low light. \m/

 

[greygoose]

Cheers folks !

Incredible shots there! Probably some of the best photos I've seen of this figure.


What lighting set up did you use etc?

 

[jimaras2099]

great pictures !

 

[viruz777]

@chupanegro: yeah i've done the hot water dread mod several times with the original head but I was surprised that yours looked longer and flowy. It came to no surprise when you said it was Guardian Predator's head because I did the same thing too hehe. Doing a hot water dread on the original's head makes it better but the hair is too short to make it flowy sadly And I realised if you leave it in a cold environment, the dreads will VERY slowly go back to being SLIGHTLY puffier.

 

[greygoose]

Is the dread mod as simple as dipping them in hot water and pulling them down more flush to the face?
