Predator 2: Shadow Predator (2011 Toy Fairs Exclusive)

[Andr3w]

Thanks, guys! Someone commented on one of my videos a few days ago, asking when my next review would be. I told them the weekend, assuming I'd have Shadow by then. Good thing I bought some clone troopers last month.

I'm eagerly waiting for your review

I'll have my mine on Tuesday.

[JEDSTER]

I have taken a quick shots of mine.
Go to the 'show your shelves' section and I have it up on my shelves thread.

Now I'm off to disneyland

I know many don't understand why someone would want a figure of characters that only have seconds of screen time. For me that whole sequence at the the end of Predator 2 is what took a "what the ____" movie and made it classic for me. I'll sit through that movie just for those last few minutes. So, any Pred from that scene I'll buy.

Got this today, but had to wait until the kids were asleep to really sit and inspect this thing (along with Bats and Spidey). Thought the foot was broken. It was just moving around. It only came off the peg. Overall it's a nice figure. Like the build on him as oppose to previous Preds. The paint is the only thing that kind of bothers me. Not enough to get rid of him. I know there aren't that many good pics of the suit, but the colors look harsh. To me, the application doesn't help with making it look realistic. It looks like paint and not skin color variations. One of the things I really do like is that he has the best hanging dreads since P2 Elder.

Totally agree with you there. I don't like most of this movie, but the end sequence with all the Preds is what makes it one the best parts of the whole Predator-verse. Other than that scene, I try to forget that the P2 movie even exists.

That scene,for me, even beats out any scene in Predator. And Predator is my all-time favorite movie.

One other complaint: It's not with the figure but with SS. For the money we dish out on these things SS should not just ship these items with only HT's shipper boxes. I don't collect boxes, but with these types of collectibles the box is part of the figure.
I got Bats with Shadow and the outer box had a big gash on it. Luckily, it did not cut into the inner box. It did cut into enough to ding the inner box.

Damn! They must have like two guys doing all the shipping. My card has been charged but zip, zero nada!

I got charged and tracking for Shadow, but for some reason still no charge on Bruce Wayne Batman.

Other way around for me except I've been charged for both.
I thought maybe they both got sent at the same time but the shipping weight is only 4lbs

SSC never sends these together, even though I would think it would be cost effective for both parties. I've ordered 12" figures at the same time or had 2 smaller items that are shipped around the same time and I've asked SSC to combine my shipping in the past and they tell me they can't.

 

[Butters]

You just have to request a pack-out if you want everything shipped together.

SSC never recommended that option to me.

Anyone got pic's anyone?

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Every time I see those videos I try to watch them but I find myself loosing a plethora of brain cells each second she speaks.

 

[CriterionCollector]

I like her reviews. See my most recent post under the HT Batman Begins thread.

 

[prefused]

I disagree. Anyway, just posted the review as I thought people may find it useful. But I'm not going to waste my time next time if this is the reaction it provokes.

that's all i ask. hopefully, Blade can get his on here pretty soon.
