My Review. The BD Predator2 is another Hot Toys marvel. It wasn't that hard to put together, and the instructions are a good enough aid. The knee guards, I just used a paper clip to hold his netting down, whilst edging it up over the calf, then it was home. Everything else was relatively easy. This Pred comes with lots of extra's. Once assembled, changing over any of the accessories ends in the need to reassemble some other part. His armour vest is in two parts for easy assembly, but it comes apart easily as well, once on. Three right hands, one left, rather odd. The left shin guard has a holster of some sort but whatever goes in there isn't included. The medikit attaches onto the back of the armour. I had a quick go at mounting it but was unsuccessful. I'm not going to attach it at this point, until I sort out how I want to display it because it will undoubtedly fall off if I try to change something else. I may leave it off all together. The shoulder canon is minimal and versatile, I like it. It's a great figure with lots of accessories, but much of it will sit in the box. Not a practical figure by any means. It's a great figure but nowhere near as good as the Pred 2 Elder.

You guys hanging out for the P2 Elder are really going to have something to sing about. There's something about the Elder that isn't replicated in the warrior. He just looks better standing, let alone posing. Yep The P2 Elder wins the day fer sure.

that '"holster"on his left shin, its a net gun.his fingers go in the slot.. illput up some pics of mine holding it when i get back home.
 
Thanks for the pics Creech.

Congrats on the purchase. I am waiting patiently for the SS Excl. version.
 
Thanks for your review creecher!
I already own a regular P2 repainted by Les but I'm looking forward to getting this one! The open mouth and the cool accessories are definitely worth buying this piece.

Thanks TOE. I'll take this opportunity to reciprocate and congratulate you on your purchase as well. Congratulations TOE.

It's what convinced me to buy it too, but in all honesty I wish I had stuck to my game plan and stayed satisfied with the P2 Elder. Still, it's a Predator and any Pred is a goodun.
 
Congrats on the purchase!! Small tip regarding the medkit.. it doesn't fit very well because Hot Toys didn't angle the piece of plastic sticking out of the medkit enough. If you take a sharp object and "dig out" that part of the medkit and make it more angled you should be able to fit it into the armor very well. Pardon my vauge language but it'll make sense when you have the figure in hand. As for the elder being superior to this figure I tend to disagree. I admit that the elder has a much better face sculpt (way better!!) I find that P2 poses much better. With the elder I find that his lack of accessories really hurts his poseability. I've had the elder for a couple of months now and the only pose that looks cool is the one they have on the box. With the P2 I had so much more fun because I get to pose him with the disc or spear, masked or maskless, breathing mask....in other words more variations. But to each his own I guess :D
 
Well, lo and behold... got my tracking notices for both P2 BD and Elder and it looks like they were shipped together after all! Arriving on the 29th... 2 ultra-badass Preds in one package... a think a bit of celebration is in order...

WOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

I've been waiting for this for soooooooo long!!!
 
heres a pic of my regular p2 figure holding the netgun.( in the movie he has his hands close together so all 4 fingers fit into the slot.)

man i cant wait to find a way to get a light source behind the lens on his bio. it would look so wicked glowing yellowish-orange:emperor.( if any of you havent seen what it looks like, hold a light source behind the bio.)

P.S. sorry about the blurry/dark pic, when it comes to photography im as bad as one can get:monkey4
 
Nice pic, DL! I like the steely metallic look and the grainy texture. Having orange light-up eyes in this shot would look outstanding. I should be getting back to Hurricane about the shoulder lamps and motion trackers for my Aliens Colonial Marines pretty soon, so I'll ask him about illuminating the eyes. If he can do it, I'd definitely like to have it on at least one of my P2's bio, along with the working laser. Btw, it's too bad HT didn't include a set of bendy hands with the P2 so we could have him firing the net gun with all his fingers inside it! :monkey2
