I think thats because it allows him to blend the colors more. Layered affect. thats how I have learned to do Predator spots.
 
Re: Making of HT Super Black Predator

It's looking to be one of the best Predators to date! :rock
 
Re: Making of HT Super Black Predator

I am excited to no end for this guy!!!!!!! It will be the the best, well, until Tracker drops.....:monkey1
 
Re: Making of HT Super Black Predator

Are we still getting some torso articulation? Is it going to be a rubber encasing, or one piece all in hard plastic (which would be a shame). They already got rid of the double knee joint, it seems... let's hope that's all they take off. Newer Preds means more-refined and improved figure construction and poseability. That's what we got out of P1 (which can squat more than any other HT Pred). Let's hope we still get some of those technical improvements here...

AND FALCONER RULES! Hell, I may sell off my older HT Preds and get all three. Together with my P1, I'd have HT's newest and most detailed Preds, all from the new movie.
 
Re: Making of HT Super Black Predator

I am really curious to see how they do Falconer's and Tracker's face, I hope it won't be like with the AVP preds and they are all the same.
 
Re: Making of HT Super Black Predator

Head sculpt would undeoubtedly be the same. Paint apps... probaby different. Can't wait to find out :eek:!
 
Re: Making of HT Super Black Predator

Falconer would/will be my second choice :D Love the design
 
Re: Making of HT Super Black Predator

it's my limit but i don't understand the criticism about the head. where is the inaccuracy?
It's about the most inaccurate head sculpt they've done in a long, long while. The head as a whole should be much larger, and the mouth especially should be about twice as large as it is. A guy did a great photoshop of the actual head onto the figure in the other thread. The only part they really got right is the crown of the head.

Re: Making of HT Super Black Predator

Man, that does look really good. I'm not sure if the head is accurate or not (in the film it was pretty hard to make out ANY of the Predators other than Classic because it was so dark) but that figure looks awesome and I'm not even a huge Predator fan.

The paint apps and textures are perfect.
