HT PREDATOR

[Seaward]

I ordered Scar first for this reason, that he at least bears a passing resemblance to the original Predator, but once I saw the Elder, I couldn't leave the Celtic Predator out in the cold.

Please HT make the original Predator!!! And Ripley!!! And Hudson!!! Drake!!! Bishop!!! Wierzbowski!!! Spunkmeyer!!!

oh heck, they're not reading anyways!

Now that I have this one I want an original Preadtor from HT so bad.....

What, no love for the Celtic's helmet? Love the design of the piece -- and wasn't the biggest fan of the first movie.

The Eldar is a must buy for me as well. But then I'll have to decide whether to get the Chopper Pred as well, since I'm getting Scar and Celtic.

Okay, I know it wasn't the best recieved movie, but I really dug Pred. 2. What's not to love? It was Robocop vs. Pred except instead of Robocop it was 1/2 of Lethal Weapon. So I'd want that Pred. and Danny Glover.

BTW, anyone order their's from Fireside? I keep checking their site to see when they're gonna ship but I keep getting a lot of nothing. I'm starting to empathise with Tom and his PF GG.

I actually really do like the Celtic helmet, but at $130 I had to make a choice and since I like the Scar better I went with that....

And I really like Predator 2....I like the idea of Predator running around in a kind of urban warfare deal.Pred. 1 & 2 are a couple of my favorite movies!

Yeah, I agree, Predator one had it all: action, science-fiction, drama, horror and one of the most visually impressive creature ever design in a movie.For me its as good as the first Alien movie.

And NO CGI...that just goes to prove the fact that CGI isn't as important as Hollywood would like to believe.....

 

[King Darkness]

Many of my favorite movies of all time had little or no CGI

Highlander
Predator
Terminator
Alien
Aliens
Near Dark
Friday The 13th movies
Dog Soliders

CGI is not all its cracked up to be!!!!

back in the 80s CGI wasnt as common as it is today. nowadays everything has CGI in it. and too many movies are using thinking it will make the movie 100 times better. i actually give Kudos to those movies that dont use CGI for everything and rely on the good old fashioned special FX.

Mad Max and The Road Warrior. No CGI.

No ****....really the list could go on and on..dont get me wrong, I do like CGI...I mean LOtR could have sucked big time without the aid of CGI...but thats all it was to LOtR....not the center piece...I was a great story, with great characters, great direction, great music...so the CGI was just an aid to put us fully in the land of Middle Earth...I wish more movies today would foucus on character development & great diolouge..Like Pulp Fiction, Fight Club, Seven, Usual Suspects, True Romance.....

Jurassic Park would be impossible without CGI. As would LotR, and a lot of other films. It's another tool that the filmmakers can use, it's true that some overuse it, but I think a lot of older films would be improved by using it. (Like the 80s Superman films, among others).

100% true...but over use of CGI sux...thats all I was saying...

 

[Wor-Gar]

Jesus...

I just got home and found the SCAR PREDATOR on my doorstep!

This box is huge! Its crazy insane -- there's a slip cover, then a velcro flap, then two trays of amazingly detailed parts! Hell, even the bladed weapons look like real silver metal! And the face/head look a lot better in person.

This is THE MOST AWESOME FIGURE EVER!

The packaging is so cool I almost hate to build him. Almost. Actually, I'm a little daunted by the complexity...but this will be fun.

First...gotta pose those crazy dreads...all 40 of them!

Sounds cool man. Can't wait to see your pics.

 

[Wor-Gar]

You don't have to wait long...

Here's just 3 quick pix of the packaging:

This is gonna take me awhile to build, and the girlfriend is over so I may have to wait until Monday so I can concentrate. But this is AWESOME. Anyone who has this knows what I'm talking about.

A friend of mine told me it was his new favorite figure, but until tonight I didn't really know what that meant.

I'm so jealous, man!

I placed my order in Feb. with Fireside and as far as I can tell they've taken Memorial Day week off. They haven't answered my last two e-mails and their site still says the Preds haven't shipped.

Where did you order your Scar from, Wor-Gar?

 

[JonZ]

Wow!!! That looks amazing!!! I may have to look into finding me one of these bad boys:chew

Adam at DARK SHADOW COLLECTIBLES. My first order with him. Awesome guy, great prices. I also ordered the 3 Aliens Marines from him.
