I think thats the main thing holding HT back. Accurate sculpts.
If they never have that then they should not be increasing prices. :lecture

I disagree, actually. Take a look at an AVP Predator, then take a look at the new Classic and tell me you don't see an increase in quality worth at least $75 (if not more). The sculpts were always inaccurate, but the details and paint apps are truly better than before.
Or compare the old P2 to what they're capable of nowadays. They went from terrible to being the kings of paint in the 1/6 market, so that's worth something.

Adding accurate sculpts would probably raise the price another $25 or so... yet we all know we'd still gladly pay it. :D :lol

After seeing that comparison I can see it has improved a lot.
Another side of the argument could be that even at the old price, its still a lot of money so the paint and details should been at this level from the start.

I do see your point though and in some ways you are right but there is also another side to it. :peace
 
Classic works out at about 6'6 if you were to enhance the figure x6. which looks to be "true" scale for him within a couple of inches.

People have this delusion that all the Predators are 7-9 ft tall. Which is pure BS. Half the Lost Preds were Dannys height. AVP Preds didnt tower over everybody nor did the super preds and classic. Theres been more regular sized preds than P1/P2 Preds. People need to get KPH out of their heads when they think of a predator.
 
AVP Preds didnt tower over everybody .....

You're wrong on this one. Ian Whyte played Scar in AVP, and Wolf in AVPR, and he stands 7' 1" without the suit on. And except for stand-ins in some scenes in AVP, he played all 3 Preds in that film. So yeah, those Predators did tower over everybody in those films, as much as KPH towered over everyone in the original Predator film.
 
Yes Ian is a tall tall guy. And as Scar, AVP Elder(wasnt he?) Wolf he was tall. But in the movie it was not always him and theres plenty of scenes where Lex doesnt look dramatically shorter than the Predators on screen and she isnt tall for a woman or anything. The scene at the end with Scar laying on the ground made him look about 6ft tall. And all the crew member Predators didnt look to exceed 6ft by much.

I just do not like the idea that every Predator figure needs to be 4" taller than all the human figures on a shelf when you watch the movies the Predators are often half a ft taller than the human at best.
 
OK but it is a pity that not even the Predators that are definitively over 7ft tall, not just in this shot or that shot, also don't get made correctly to scale. Its not just HT mind you who don't get this right. None of the Neca predators are to scale with eachother or human figures either. In fact their 'super' predators are the wimpiest looking ones of all the preds they produced.
 
Got mine today, Overall I'm happy with him but his head peg comes off really easily, Anyone else noticed this issue ? It's fine once you set a pose, But if you knock it ever so slightly it just tumbles off lol. I suppose I could pack it out with some plastic wrap or something.
I don't get why ppl panic and sell the original one though as I still think it's good (better in some ways>medpack) It's not like it will be worthless in the future as its the original original :)
The same with the new AVP range on the horizon, Sure I'll get those providing their good, But I won't think any less of the original AVP range nor will I consider them less valuable\collectible, How many ppl in say the next 20 or 30 years will still have mint versions with their original boxes ? Kit preds for the winz :nana:

yeah its not a good sign that, coz with the option of wanting to change mandibles & swap out the bio's for different poses its gonna be a nightmare if the heads are toppling off so easy
 
I seriously hope HT gets there QC problems in order this year like they have said they will do. Theres some complex things getting announced & they need to be on the ball with QC for those, its cheaper to have a meeting to solve the problem than the constant returns for defective products
