Predators - 1/6th scale Classic Predator Collectible Figure

Awesome pix Spanbauer!
He does look very impressive. More I see the more inpatient I get!

I think it's the same size, but thicker.

...and that is NOT what she said. Well, maybe.

Thanks. I'm wondering will it fit in a giant box with the Enterbay T-800 and HT Superman. Eric from Toys2 said I could get a 3rd figure into the package with possibly (hopefully) no extra shipping cost beyond what I've already been quoted. I figured Tracker Predator probably has a bigger box and Shadow Predator, well not sure of the box size on that one but the figure itself is a little too expensive for me to get at the moment. Thus Classic seemed to be the best choice.

Watt duh hell is thhat....

Thats a horrible head sculpt!

Yyyeah. I don't know what it is. Is it just the paint or the sculpt aswell but it doesn't look great does it? They love it in the PF thread. The Dutch PF prototype looks far better IMO. Of course it remains to be seen how the paint turns out on that.

For 15$ it looks fine to me..

Sculpt looks great imo, paint not so much..but I think the eye looks pretty good.

Another example of why Tankman should work for HT..

..err..he does sculpt the Terminators too, right?

I'm sorry but for ~$400 I expect at least HT's Q of paint and not something that you can find on $50 NECA's 18" figure.
So yep, this is not a HI-END piece. At all

Haters in the house.

Being an owner of the PF in question (and the taker of the picture posted here), I can say that this statue is impressive as all hell. Apart from the paint issue--bloody splotch on the Ex. eye is pretty bad--this piece is pure quality. Fantastic sculpt by arguably the best man working for Sideshow today (the man also responsible for the Dutch PF sculpt)--Trevor Grove.

If that's not Arnold, I would sure like to know what is. I know fans of the Predator franchise may not be into Terminator, and you guys can knock all the non-Predator stuff if it suits you to do so, but the T-800 PF is about as nice as any PF I've seen over the last 3 or 4 years. It isn't Hulk PF, but what is? Comparing that to NECA is as ridiculous as comparing HT to NECA. And the paint overall is actually pretty good. Flesh tones look good, regular eye turned out great, but they phoned in the bloody endo eye for some reason.

Nah, I was actually mocking Igor Haterov... I actually think it's a fantastic PF, but the photo doesn't really capture it.

Not me... I can't wait for mine to arrive.

I love Alien, Pred and Terminator. However imo that eye just looks bad and the sculpt is bad. I much prefer the Enterbay Arnie.

 

[Butters]

Nice! Beefy mofo.

Guys, whats the size of the box on this? Is it any bigger than Berserker and Falconer's boxes?

It's 2" thicker than the Falconer box.

Apples and Oranges. You can't go on photos alone.

True but if you see a picture of a figure you do not like then what are the chances you are going to purchase it when it is not something like a $15 figure.

 

[Butters]

Why would you buy something you don't like?

Exactly!
So me seeing a picture I dont like wont mean I go out of my way to see it in person as I have been put off by it already. Plus its just my opinion..I hate it

I think the Enterbay one is excellent but again my own opinion.

Re: Part in bold

Trevor's own Dutch sculpt is Arnold! The T1 is very good but from the pics I've seen the jaw/chin is overdone. I think it looks as much like Brian Thompson as it does Arnie. And honestly, again just going on pics, I don't think the NECA comparison was far off when talking about the paint. I could see a NECA 1/4 scale have a comparable paintjob.

Well, nothing is going to change your mind if it's a figure or statue that you don't like.

I highly doubt it. Anyway, you're still comparing two totally different formats.

Yup!

Back to Predator now..for those with the classic, does the wire for the light up bio laser connect to the figure just like the built in mandables or do you have to be careful and put the wire in first and then bottom half of the bio?

Not sure exactly what you're trying to say... but there is a plug that connects to the back of the chest armor.
