Prop Predator 2 'City Hunter' Mask Prop Replica

[Python]

yep


Found a HCG one while looking around. Same price as the SS one that was linked, for the most part.
I can not comment on how good it is, as I do not have one. But obviously others can.

I have a lot of the SSC masks, the HCG P2 is better than then all imo. It also has pedigree given it is from the real thing. You just have to put up with people confusing it for the hero and asking why it isn't metallic bronze/copper.

Oh mine is....

That repaint!

I really like the paint HCG applied to this one, it's nice and is how the stunt should look. While a re-paint is cool, it certainly isn't necessary. If I had the SSC version however, I'd feel the need to change the paint as it is too dull for the hero it is based on.

 

[Collectorcol]

Don't suppose the seller from whom you bought it is a big seller with an inventory?

179 GBP.

I only bought it because I was quite impressed with the Classic I took a chance with, at a similar price.

 

[How2TrainKaiju]

Found one today on ebay going for about $225 shipped. Sold before I pulled the trigger.

That repaint!

Thanks.

@Python:Your right the stunt was painted different(from what we know from the HCG mask).
But because we will never become a cast from the hero(because its stolen), the HCG is the only screenused Predator 2 mask.
And because it looks very similar with the herodesign I painted mine like this.


To convert the SS P2 in a hero with a repaint is not a good idea.Its too much out of shape in my eyes.Only the stand is great.But ok its always a personal taste.

And from the real prop which has survived unlike the Hero. I don't think this SSC P2 would be converted into a hero, but it is obviously meant to be a hero and is loosely based on it so should be much more metallic. It wont be perfect, but a decent repaint should work wonders on it. If I see one cheap enough at some point, I'll give it a shot.

Original stunt mask.

Messaged the seller on ebay. Says he has more and will likely list them at same price. Having a bunch selling for that low has me feeling iffy, but others who got it from him gave him a positive rating.

 

[PermaG]

Might be selling that low or not at all.

I originally planned on getting one of these then CP teased Predator 2. Then that tease wasn’t a mask and then this arrived today…

 

[Collectorcol]

Congrats BS, looks good.

Mine arrived yesterday. Unfortunately the seller decided to wrap the picture box in tape and stick postage labels to it.
Not surprisingly it arrived battered.

 

[BugStomper]

Thanks!

Sorry to hear about the box. I got mine from the Collectibles Direct ebay so it arrived ok.

I really like this one and glad I finally picked it up. Now I just have to replace Classic with a true P1.
Some of the horror stories are putting me off though.

 

[Collectorcol]

I picked up the P1 a couple of weeks ago, reason I wanted the P2.
Turned out much better than anticipated.

I got the P2 at a decent price, £179, but still no excuse for the lazy, or lack of, packaging.

 

[BugStomper]

That’s a good price. Maybe I should have shopped around a little

I’m a bigger fan of the P2 Creature but the P1 mask does look nice and having them both would be great.

Dude, I bought a Bambaland version of Metal Gear Ray.

The sender, literally (cut and) glued a smaller priority mailing box to the outside on Ray's art box. GGRrrrrr!

 

[Collectorcol]

Finally got around to unboxing it.
To say the weathering is amateurish would be a huge understatement...

 

[How2TrainKaiju]

That looks like fingerprints left after handling baby powder. Is it from the flash? Not seeing it from the other recent pics.

 

[epitaph04]

Huh seeing it on the other thread made me think it was just the flash, but yeah that does look weird.

 

[PermaG]

It has to be just flash. But pattern/layout sort of match.

The layer of that stuff on mine is not noticeable like that.
I actually only even noticed the other day when I had bright lights on and overhead. Until then, I never even seen it.
