Predator 2: Shadow Predator (2011 Toy Fairs Exclusive)

[LipSmack]

Oh, brother. The stories I could tell about Fed Ex. . .I hate them. I've had many fewer experiences with them than USPS or UPS, but they were filled with pure incompetence and arbitrary, bizarre behavior.

at least im not alone, They called this morning and said that the will deliver again on friday so thats a relief, does sideshow ever ship with standard post? I dont want to deal with fedex for my next purchase

Shot, I'm disabiled, always home and the UPS man doesn't like to drive down my long drive way, so he leaves my packages at the top of the hill (the start of it) for someone to steal. When packages have to be signed for he'll finally drive down, but knocks on the door with a feather and even though I could be sitting on the other side of the door, he turns around and leaves. To get signed package; and this is after having gone rounds with UPS over their drivers, I have to basically stand at the door and wait for them all the day of the arrival notice.

Once, I had a guy that kept coming while I was at work, and it was the 2nd of the the 3rd day or whatever when it would be sent back. So, I scheduled re-delivery for when I would be home with the 1-800 number they give, but the message wasn't passed on to the local unit, and it was sent back to the sender (this was tickets for a sporting event I needed that weekend). They absolutely refused to let me talk with the local unit via phone about that issue (no number was ever given), and even when I went in person (tickets were redelivered and I had to physically drive there to pick them up) they refused to let me speak to anyone in charge. What the ____ kind of business operates that way?

One that doesn't really give a crap about customer service and would rather just blow people off.

at long last... i got it. review - best pred yet. as far as sculpt anyway. he's noticeably smaller than my P2 Elder, which is actually a good thing this time because KPH wasn't in the Snake/Shadow costume. the dreads lay perfectly out of the package, which is a goddamn relief. i ____ing hate messing with those and i hope this is the norm for the newer figures. i heated up his left cutlass-holding hand so he can hold the spear in it like the shot in the movie. i threw the stupid useless Elder cutlass in my parts bin. and until HT gets a clue and makes a display wall, his awesome trophy skull is sitting next to his stand base. i hope HT will keep making this Lost Clan preds, because i'm definitely gonna keep buying them. GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL!

I wish you had to "build" this.

i'd rather pay extra not to. but, there's nothing stopping you from taking yours apart and reassembling it.

Where'd you get that mask?!?!

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Gutted,just noticed my sword is missing from my shadow pred,just spoke to ssc about it....should find out in the next 48hrs if i will get a replacment or send him back

They'll send you it seperately i reckon, no sense returning the whole figure for one missing accessory, it'll cost them too much.

 

[MIKE M]

i made it from the hot toys predator 1 mask its the scanner bio from the fan-made seed film

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Kinda sucks tat the fur is glued on, i dont plan on removing it, but i hope its secure all the way round.

 

[Rotfish]

Took the photos for my review. More will be shown in the actual video, which I can hopefully shoot and upload today, if not tomorrow.

Loving the paint job on those trophy skulls. HT's been getting closer and closer to nailing the bony look with their past releases and they've finally done it!
That last shot shows my little belt fur issue... I can position and tuck the fur to fill the gap, but I'm still avoiding that area just in case.

 

[zuckuss77]

Got mine and he stands out very nicely.

Hope so nova-force,i will be gutted if my shadow goes backany sign of your bio's of td?

 

[Butters]

Mine arrived, but I haven't opened it yet.

I've only had a a quick look under the slip cover...

He said they should be ready next week and then he'll ship them, hopefully, i can't wait.

This guy looks great. I'm still debating whether to drop the money on this guy. Having no other Lost Preds there's no great need for him, I just love the Predator 2 looking body.

I'm not sure if SSC keeps extra HT parts on hand. I'm thinking you might have to send him back, unless you contact HT and they send you the part (that could takes weeks for them to get back to you though).
