Official PREDATOR thread!

Did you guys know that the P2's dreads are no longer posable.
There are no wires inside them.

Sad for you Pred collectors.

What? That's f'ed up. I feel sorry for people getting this one if it's true because the dreds look a little out of contron and in need of some posing.

 

[King Darkness]

That sux!!!! One of the best things about these were the posable dreads

WHAT!!!!no more edwint kick ass action poses!!!!!!!

 

[drunk_leprechaun]

hmm i expected as much with the dreads they look a lot thinner than the avp figures..well at least on the p2 elder. the p2 normal predators dreads have a puffed up look. OH and does anyone know if hot toys have the lisence for avp requiem 1/6 figures?

 

[FACEBOX]

Well, "they" say that the dreads are made of soft material and are free flowing.

Furthermore, they also say that there are no wires in the hands either. Now THAT is messed up. I hope it's not true, but I'm getting my info from someone who already has one in hand.

Don't really know, though I hope so! I also hope they get the P1 license.

What!?! But I love their wired hands. Some of the best hands there are.

Everytime Hot Toys removes a feature, the monkey cries.

No bendy hands:

[King Darkness]

Double bummer.....no wire in dreads & no bendy hands

Plus the funky paint apps.

What the hell?!?!?!?

 

[gdb]

Those are good looking hands though. Maybe the old bendy ones will plug in the socket.

 

[FACEBOX]

Hot Toys sure is cutting a lot of corners.

As their cost of production rises, and their products decrease in quality... we suffer.

More pix from the same guy:

"Good News.

Please believe me. The dreads are completely natural like as a movie one.

I don't need to spend alot of time [adjusting] the dreads problem anymore. The soft dread is really good indeed. Yes.........the dreads hang down ......

Please see below pics:" (therock1914, spawn.com)

UPDATE:

 

[bagelsncheesey]

Still stoked for him, but looks like i'll be keeping his helmet on

 

[Bill-Jr]

That Pred looks great...with the helmet on at least. All I know is... 'I have got to get me one of those'.

 

[Bardoon]

Oh man,I'm still digging him a lot!!!!

I don't care so much about the dreads cause they were sort of a pain on the other figures to get down...though I will miss some cool edwint photos.

But I do miss the bendable hands and it looks like Hot Toys went a little too crisp with the paint on the Pred's face.

 

[Sachiel]

He looks great! with the mask on. He'll be my first Predator.
