Predators - 1/6th scale Classic Predator Collectible Figure

[Spanbauer]

The words to photos ratio of this thred is absolutely criminal. What, did only three people pick up this figure?

It looks like it. I'm ready for mine to come, I really like how it looks.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Well, I consider the Sano piece to be the absolute perfect Alien collectible.

Might not be 100% accurate, but it's as close as it can be..

It will happen someday with the Predator..P1 Maquette was close.

That's reflected in the price for this on the second hand market at the moment.

I could be wrong but I believe only a limited few were made available for purchase at a recent toy show and it's not had an official wide released yet.

Right, but I guess I thought there'd still be more.

Hey, maybe the few released were a rush job and the actual wide release will look better. One can hope

We can hope.

I'm fine with the way it is as it stands, but any paint improvement would be welcome.

As far as this is not a P1 stuff I doubt it.
I mean the main issue is the head sculpt and they're not gonna make it better

It really is a gorgeous figure with the helmet on. Dare I say, HT's best so far. I'll admit to buying all of HT's attempts at the original Predators as they get closer and closer to perfection. Whichever figure ends up being their last (and therefore hopefully best) is the one I end up keeping.

Now if they could at least start attempting this with their Alien line...

Will there ever be a last Predator by Hot Toys...

 

[Rotfish]

Let's hope not. Typically the more they work at something, the better they get. This kind of progress just happens to be slower with Predators and even more so with Aliens than their other lines.

 

[greygoose]

Hopefully they put out several more Preds on the new body and when the next Predator film is made (fingers crossed) they give us a newer body again.

I'm not looking for it to better resemble the original Predator, I just want a better representation of the paint apps shown in the prototype. The sculpt's fine, but the paint apps make it look like a bad knock-off of a Hot Toys figure.

Yep - there's already another thread about the samurai pred https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97915&page=13

360 for one figure??? Oh wait its HT again now it makes a lot more sense to me!!!

 

[Lugal]

It's expensive because... maybe HT must paid licenses fee to Takeya himself and Fox for this has title "artist collection"?
For 360$ it's a quick pass for me. I'd rather buy Noland instead of this, thank you HT.

I'd say they're testing the waters to see just how much predator fanboys are willing to pay. Unless this is an extremely limited piece there's no reason it should cost double, and I saw nothing about it being limited.
