NEW HT PREDATOR, 'Dutch' full spec and hi-res pics

[JacktheRipper]

nicky, have you shortened the neck on Arnold? Well, not shortened but taken out the plug under Arnie's head?

 

[JediFirefly]

Has anyone posted pics of Dutch with a jointed body? (one without rubber skin) I want to get one and replace the body but I would love to see some pics. Thanks!

I tried putting him on a Standard TrueType when I first got him. The clothes did not fit right they were to big.
The reason I tried changing him is because I planned on posing him with his long shirt and jacket on and didn't want to worry about damaging the muscle body when posing him.

IMO the only major drawback of this figure. But for me a quite big one. I mean, if i want to pose Dutch...then mostly without the armor / vest. With the vest one he looks just fine, but without...mhh...i don't know. But that's unfortunately still a problem on most HT figures.

He was quite ripped then Arnie, but around the neck and shoulders he was massive as ever. The Toys just need more depth. T-800 came along fine.

Part of the reason I asked about the neck mob because In nicky's photos it's painfully obvious. Not knocking the photos just how funny the figure looks. Now, I don't know if he's done the change or not.

I changed nothing. Could be just the angles of the pictures.

LOL at the captions too, guys!!!

erm how come his neck looks longer....

 

[YouYongku]

is he worth the money?
is his body same as the 300's body?
sorry kinda noob here.

 

[fawk3s]

Oh its definitely worth the money bro... Go for it !

There is an adaptor (for lack of a better word) in the Dutch head that makes the head sit hit on the neck. If you remove it it will sit further down the neck.

No, the 300 is a full-upper body rubber suit. The Dutch body is rubber but there is separation between the torso and the arms.

 

[YouYongku]

can remove the adaptor?
or have to custom remove?
sorry to ask so much

thanks fawk3s and jacktheripper

Dutch is definitely worth it. At first I was kinda iffy but the longer I have him the more I like him. He looks great next to the T-800!

 

[JacktheRipper]

You can remove it yourself. You can soften the head in hot water and pull it out with some pliers, you don't have to soften the head to pull it out but it helps if you want to preserve the adaptor for whatever reason.

gotta agree. Dutch is definitely worth it. Here's a quick shot of mine with the Predator. Dutch has the neck mod.

I like the way you have posed Dutch. Looks BA !
Though Wolf with 2 whips looks odd

 

[crazypredator2]

great pictures guys.

haha thanks! and yeah, I agree, It conflicts with me constantly. I just like the fully geared up look and I paid good money for the original Wolf pred so damned If I'm not gonna pose him with the whip

I hate the orangeness on his face. I contacted SS for a repaint, but he said he was too busy atm and told me to ask again in August

 

[fawk3s]

Im trying to do the neck mod right now, but the joint socket just doesnt pop out. Im using knife, scissors, pliers and hot water, but no matter how hard I try it just doesnt pop out. My fingers are already starting to hurt
Any advice?

 

[cedric72]

All I did with mine was run a hobby knife around the plug then just pulled it out with some pliers. The job wouldn't take any more than maybe a couple of minutes.
