HT original Predator- photo thread

[pjam]

I have yet to do the key mods, but I thought I'd finally throw some pics into the mix here:

I'm very late to this party but I'm soooooo happy with this figure. It's a wonder it wasn't even up for best 1/6th figure of the year. It should have been.

Looks Awesome! Congrats W-G. Love that last shot. Can't wait to see your Mods. And yes, absolutely, This should have been Figure of the Year, along with DX Joker.

hey MF, since yor an expert and all, how come HT didnt do the dreads similar to the elder P2? i have one and the dreads hang great, was there a problem with Elder p2s dreads? i just dont get why HT didnt pursue the method..

I love the the Predator figure, but the ol'P2 Elder is still my fave. I think the stars must have been alligned during every stage of his production, it's just 1/6th poetry in motion. But I think dedguy is right on the original Pred, his dreads did seem to be a little more 'flared' from the head, so they tried to reflect this, but it didn't pull off 100% as well as they hoped.

Finally got the original Predator a few weeks ago from qstoysandcollectibles and I have to say I feel really happy to have to him in my collection.







I didn't like how the dreadlocks came out of the box so I followed some of you guys suggestions and moded the dreadlocks.




Looks better now.



Rest of my predator collection.

I can't agree with you more about Elder Pred 2. I too love P1, but EP2 takes the cake. I never bought any of the older Preds just because they looked odd to me. Once I saw EP2 I knew that was going to be my first HT Pred. That figure just has so much bad *** hanging off him.

Kick *** P1 pose!!!!

The Preds get better in the body department with each new release and the Pred1 is really great, but I'd still like to see it bulkier, in particular in the thighs and the torso. It's almost like they are still making the body to be under clothing when in the Pred's case it is not.

I think it looks better in dynamic poses rather than standing stock upright though.

HT Predator (MMS90)

I'm thinking of getting this figure.
Is it the best posable pred-fig?

I dont like the jungle figure stand, but that can always be changed with a custom one.

Re: HT Predator (MMS90)

Yes it is. You should get one.
The stand is not important.

Re: HT Predator (MMS90)

There's a huge thread about the figure already. Read up about it to make your final decision. But it is a must have for any Predator fan. Hot Toys rarely disappoints.

My Stan's Predator after 3 days of hard paint and customizing job.

There is many in-progress videos on the You-Tube (it's in Russian, but I'm trying to give all needed tips in the descriptions). Work is yet not done, it's around 90% complete now. But it's much better now, seems to me. Hope you'll enjoy it!
