Lost Predator's looks like he's missing something.

[Dollmanron]

I got my Lost Predator and he's all together, but looking at the back of his chest armor there are some empty slots. Did Hot Toys decide at the last minute not to put a shoulder cannon on him? And, does the boomerang go on his armor somewhere?

 

[Devil_666]

The armor is from P2. So the slots are where the medi-kit would go. Not sure if the should cannon slot is there as well (don't have one).

Bommerang!? You mean the smart disc? If so, the answer's no. That disc goes on the P2's right leg armor, which Borg doesn't have.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Yeah, it's a bit confusing. The back portion of the armor is from the P2 figure. Nothing goes on and the disc is just an accessory with this one.

Interesting trivia for you. The front aromor, righ leg piece, and gauntlets are from an old Stan Winston suit for a movie called the "Vindicator". They just used what they had to fill out the Pred ranks. But the armor looked Borg (which came after) so that's where he gets his fan name.

i think the standard of the lost predator is not very good at all. when i opened mine the waist plate fell right off. when i looked at it carefully a hinge was missing... man and it was brand new.

any ideas what's going on with this release?

 

[Detale78]

The lack of a neck ring and shoulder cannon really make this predator incomplete even if it is accurate. Still an awesome piece though.

The Lost Predator was my first HT,,(shortly after my cleaner arrived).
I must say, i think the lost is great,granted it would've been nice for a few extra accessories,but hey,what can ya do.

 

[Devil_666]

Well technically EVERYTHING you get with Borg is an "Extra" because in Predator 2 he has nothing! No weapons. No Bio. Nothing.

 

[jutty]

ahhhh didnt know that lol,thanks

I had an extra wolf neck collar and the Predator 2 medikit (I won the Damaged P2 medikit with tools on Ebay).

So my Lost predator has the Wolf neck collar and the regular P2 medikit backpack (Repainted in black)

 

[Dollmanron]

I got a neck collar off Ebay for mine as well. Since the back of the chest armor is from the P2, I wonder if I could find a shoulder cannon for him, would any cannon fit or would it have to be from a P2?

One solution to the bare-looking neck is to add a self-made collar. Given all the threads about the durability of rubber (breaking down, and possible affect on the underlying neck plastic and paint), I found some black ribbon/cloth and fashioned a neck collar/wrap. You can even be creative with the use of fabric glue and glue in folds to recreate the ribbing found on a predator's neck collar. The back where the fabric meets doesn't look as neat and clean, but it's covered by the dreads anyways. I also found some shiny black trim - looks like a glossy and shiny black round shoelace - i wrapped some of this around the base of the neck/collar to create a more "bio-mechanical" appearance. This is easy to take off, and shouldn't degrade or negatively affect the figure. Plus it was cheap. The whole idea is to de-emphasize the bare neck and the ugly neck-joint.

I suggest a trip to Joann Fabrics. Never mind the weird stares that you'll get from the "blue-hairs" and the scrap-booking/quilting crowd that frequent the place. has anyone else ever had this experience?

what the crap is everybody's problem with the neck? it didn't have a collar in the movie, either.
and it already comes with plenty of stuff that it didn't have in the movie anyway.

how is movie-accurate not enough for some people?

Even though the movie suit looked fine without a neck collar, the HT version looks rather silly without it. Just because of how the neck on their Preds are made.

And it's all personal preference there big guy.
If you're fine with it, that's super for you. Others would, and obviuosly do, disagree with you.

Could you post some pics of this?

Right there with you buddy. Mine is bare bones displayed just like it's supposed to be.

BTW, got that GORT mask from my insider at HT, and though I have agreed not to show it again until it is announced, let me just say, DAMN, that thing looks nice in person. The pic I had gotten made it look like a rough sculpt, but it sure as hell is clean in person. It is made to fit the Pred 1 headsculpt, so we can expect the Gort Lost Pred to have a variation of Pred 1 for a face like the Snake Pred.

 

[jutty]

i got a 2nd cleaner chest armour ( with mounted cannon) and cleaning kit,was planning on trying to either put it on the lost,or mounting the cannon on the cleaner pred

 

[Devil_666]

I wonder if I could find a shoulder cannon for him, would any cannon fit or would it have to be from a P2?

If the slot is there, only the P2 cannon will fit the slot. But depending on how far you're willing to go with the mod, realistically you could fit ANY cannon on there. You could put BOTH of Wolf's cannons on there if you wanted to. You just need to figure out the best way to do it.. maybe use some sculpting putty and mold it on that way, sculpting and blending along the way. Then painting/touch-ups to blend it all together. Anything's possible.. just depends on your skill/creativity and most importantly how far you're willing to modify your figure; since these aren't cheap. Good luck.
