HT original Predator- photo thread

[8th wonder]

A term for someone who follows trends.

How is that even appliable here? Because i'm not a psycho who pulls his hairs out because a figure is slighty shorter than the other ones i follow trends? Great reasoning

I apologize for saying that you whine to much but i don't really understand how you can care so much about an inch of height difference on a figure.

Who said I care though 8th!? You won't find a single quote in this thread or any other on this subject where I say "This bothers ME". Or "I care about the height". Because I don't. I could care less. There isn't a single fiber in my entire body that could give a single, solitary ounce of a ^^^^ about this figure being short. Real talk.

I'm stating a fact. It's shorter than every other Predator figure released so far from HT. That's not my opinion. That's a fact.

The only reason the issue keeps coming up is, for whatever reason (but I'm sure it has to do with people defending what they own) people want to deny that fact. They wanna act like it's NOT short. They wanna act like everyone who clearly sees it's shorter than the other Predator figures is wrong or seeing things. hahahaha..

It's short. That's it. If it doesn't affect you or you liking the figure, great. Doesn't change the fact that it's short.

If you have on a red shirt and I say "Your shirt is red" and you say "Yes, it IS Red". End of conversation.

If you have on a red shirt and I say "Your shirt is red" and you say "It's not Red. it might be a little Red, more Red than White. But I don't consider it Red." and more people chime in like "It's not Red." Yeah.. the conversation will continue.

Now imagine in that example someone asking "Why do you care so much"!? I don't. How does my stating a fact = me caring!? I seriously don't understand that. If anything.. the people who continually deny that the HT P1 figure is shorter than ALL the other HT Predator figures are the ones that "Care". Because they seem to find it impossible to admit.

It has already been proven to be shorter than the other Predator figures, so yeah i agree on that. Not that i care .

 

[MaulFan]

I don't deny it's shorter, but some people think that's a flaw, and I think there are reasons that the fact it's shorter is actually a correct thing, that's all I've been trying to say, that being short compared to some other Predator figures is actually what the P1 should be.

 

[fawk3s]

dont care about it being alittle shorter. alittle variety is good actually, aint gonna pose em amm on one shelf anyway.
only thing i care about is the fact that p1 kicks ass and i need to have its figure.

 

[Furious1]

Received mine today from Toys2. Wow is all I have to say...this is my 7th HT Pred, and it is probably my favorite(although I still love the P2 Elder.) Some quick at work camera phone pics...

 

[Ben]

congrats man looks sick

 

[Morbach]

Yeah this thing looks great!

 

[Furious1]

I measured him and he is right at 13" standing straight up with the helmet on.

If you put him on his stand he would be right there with the other 13.5-14" Preds. He will be going on a shelf with Dutch and Billy, so the height really wont be an issue for me.

Cool.

Hey MaulFan, since you have both the P1 and P2 I got a quick question: Is the skull/spine accessory the same but just with EXTREMELY better paint on the P1 version? Because from the pics I've seen.. the P1 skull/spine looks A LOT better. I've said previously the one that came with my P2 looks almost Kool-Aid stained as opposed to bloody. And the P1 accessory looks sick. So is it just pics?

 

[MaulFan]

Cool.

Yeah, it's the exact same one. Which P2 do you have, BD or first release, because I've gotten comments that some of the paint looks better on the BD figure which I have, might be a difference in the skulls.

Personally, I think the skull looks better with the P2. On the P1, the whole thing is red, which is ok because when you see Billy get it removed it's fresh out of it and covered, but there's also chunks of flesh and stuff on it too that help sell the look, but the figure accessory is just painted red, so much it almost looks more like a red skull and spine instead of one covered in blood. My P2 BD skull has some bone color showing through and has more a stained look to it. That's my taste anyway.

 

[Devil_666]

I have a regular P2. I hear what you're saying though. My P2 skull/spine isn't really red, I think that's why it looks weird to me. Doesn't look like Blood at all. It's more pink than red.

 

[MaulFan]

I really wish HT would have packed in some spineless skulls from his trophy collection, that'd be really cool.

Maybe with the Battle Damaged version if they make one!?

 

[MaulFan]

I'm sure they'll make one, not sure what it will include. We wouldn't even have gotten the spine and skull in this set I'm sure if they hadn't already had the mold from the P2.

 

[SilentSurfer]

I am so going to cut that thing apart and elongate his legs and trunk when I get mine.

 

[a-dev]

Yeah but like Spanbauer said if you make him taller you risk making less in proportion to himself.

I have both P2s, and I wouldn't say either skull looks definitively better than the other.

Yeah that would be cool addition to a battle-damaged version. i still don't know what else they can do with a second release. Some blood ofcourse but you can't really do to much without making it inaccurate to the movie.
