Exactly what I was thinking, by the time the new one comes, I've already got my moneys worth of enjoying the figure.
. Thanks for the reply!
Hey guys, I'm really itching to pull the trigger on a Classic Pred and get a conversion kit so I can make him just like the 1987 Jungle Predator but I don't know what to do. Buy it now? What do you guys think now? Will we get one? I know hopes are low but ... ?
Why has no 3rd party company ever made any Predator for us, is it too complicated, too expensive? I know simple Super Hero figures sell better but I don't see why a good Pred wont sell well.
I messaged InArt way before and recommended Predator 1987 and they replied by thanking me about the suggestion and that they will tell the team, here's hoping at least but even if they make one it would be at least 2-3 years with how things are there so I really don't know what to do man.
I just want a jungle Predator since I just started collecting a few months ago and I've been searching the ENTIRE web for a Classic Predator each time getting closer to finally order him and get the damn conversion kit, but every single time something told me someone's gonna make him as soon as I waste so much money to make him look just like in the 1987 movie.
That could be the case yes. For me that's allright though. While I'd absolutely love to have a jungle hunter I'm in no rush to get one or convert a Classic now. This isn't some hype-of-the-moment kinda figure, so I know I'll be interested even if it takes another five years for one to be announced. And I can be very patient.
I guess there is always a small chance. Lately HT seems swamped with lots of figures being announced later than we are used to.
This is the reason I've gone 1/12 for Predator, Alien, RoboCop and Terminator. I missed the boat on the HT versions and I'm unwilling to pay aftermarket prices. I may get the RoboCop and third parties are bringing out Terminator Arnies (I prefer an Endoskelton T-800 though).Same here! Predator has recently acquired my interest, and I'd definitely like to have some collectibles from the films. It'd be great to get my hands on a HT Pred, but they're a pretty penny in the aftermarket. Ideally, HT should unveil new/revamped Predator figures, but, that seems unlikely unfortunately. My biggest Pred figure wants are from Prey since it's my personal favorite from the series
To this day, no one has come close to topping the sculpt of the 1/4 NECA. The body proportions are perfect. But NECA is still a more mass produced figure and lower price means lower paint. Mezco's new figure is pretty good mixed media but it too lacks a quality paint. I'm still eagerly awaiting mine none the less.
The Pt II Delorean comes to mind. NO ONE would have predicted it coming especially since it's been so long and the first car sold poorly at the time due to HT showing off both models simultaneously.
It was simply history repeating itself. Remember the Power Loader 2.0?
