Yup! I wish I could put the clean mask on shadow...that would be so awesome! But his bottom jaw doesn't come out :/

 

[Kiva]

Damn!! Just asked that in the Shadow thread. I got a shadow for christmas and wanted to try one of my Classic' mask on him as i have 2 spare

 

[Mr. EcKo]

I just Ordered this Beast From Toy Anxiety - Great unbeatable price. Should get it soon

WOW this dude is awesome! Very impressed with the final outcome of the face paint. Would love a first batch head to swap out on occasion. Anyone looking to sell one PM me.

@ wake, may ask where you got the grass mat from?? Thanks

JG miniatures terrain mats. The long grass or rough pasture mats work well with Preds.

Sigh... my new Quantum shipping notice puts this guy's delivery on Tuesday, the 3rd. Bummer; I was hoping to have him before winter break was over.

So you did well, but still wish you had more....it's called greed.

Yep, I'll admit to that. I wasn't going to ask a fortune, but I think my price was actually a big lowball, considering I sold him before we even knew we were getting a Classic (and the price included shipping). Ah, well... as long as he's found a loving home, I'm good.

Batch 1 and 2 both have stuff which is more accurate than the other. Batch one's eyes and paleness. But then Batch 2 has the darker lenses and more quills. So its a toss up really.

Just about everybody will get a Batch 2 now. You would have to be very unlucky ( or lucky? ) to get the first batch.

There is still some first batch pieces on ebay now but the price has not been dropped since they were listed. They were listed at slightly more because they were out early and people would be willing to pay more. But now that all the batch 2's are out and at a lower price the remaining batch 1's will stay untouched until Classic's start to dissapear off ebay until the original auctions become the standard price in which case they will start turning up again. ( or the sellers lower them )

Im pretty happy ive got both versions now. And id advise if financially possible anybody who wanted multiples to try and get a first batch. Each batch has its charm.

All though you know in a year or two there will be a few Thousand batch 2's (3's?) floating around and at the moment there has only been like 8 batch 1's been accounted for. It might be the most ultra rare HT variant out there in years to come.

ahh...good analysis thanks!

great display!

 

[Reefer Shark]

Lovin all the display pics with classic pred here!

 

[Centurion]

Arrived today, opened it and had a look, looks great, can't take him out at the mo though got a full house today

P.S so glad i went for the Ex, the skull is ACE!!!!!

The details never fail to amaze me with the skull trophies.

Why? I don't see why you couldn't add more bulk without the need to add extra height. A little more height for P1 couldn't hurt, but I don't think I would add anything to Classic. It's not something I notice when everything is properly futzed and well posed. I think the perception of size has more to do with the way the movie was shot, because we know how tall Arnie and Kevin really were. And anyway, is it even really something that could be considered serious enough to cancel!?


The height and proportions look great to me in these pics.

love that pic! P1 looks great there. i've got Classic but i won't be getting rid of P1 any time soon. he can pull off the iconic roaring reveal pose (w/ a little foam under his neck to throw the head angle back). but from the pics it doesn't look like Classic can do it well because of the lack of torso joint. can't arch that back enough.

Just received my 2 Ex Classic Predators from Sideshow. Completely blown away by this figure! He is AWESOME!!!! Still love my P1 and will not get rid of him, but cannot deny the level of detail on Classic. Still on the fence on the new bodies, they look great but Im startn to miss the ab articulation and double jointed knees and elbows.

Anyone else miss the good old days of assembling Predators???

 

[Reefer Shark]

Don't miss the old "model kit" style preds at all. They were great and satisfying, but I like the instant gratification of the newer preds because I'm lazy bastard

Plus I think they just look better on the shelf.

 

[DarthTrafford]

I just ordered this for my twin brother.
He want's all the Predators from the latest movie now,since he got Royce and Tracker for Christmas!

 

[Mangrasshopper]

Love this figure. I added the bone trophies, the bicep armor and hose, elbow ties, hip pouch, and swapped the cannons.

 

[r5150s]

looking good Joe !!

 

[P.]

did you paint the left hand screens (black instead of unpainted metal)?
or you managed to replace it with the old variant?

 

[RIDDICK]

Still looks nothing like P1

I don't miss almost tearing the netting trying to get it on the body.

Great job Mangrasshopper. Best looking HT "P1" out there.
