Predators - 1/6th scale Classic Predator Collectible Figure

[Centurion]

Not to trying to be harsh or something, but that pose and with that thing hanging from his arm, it looks like a lady with a purse ready to go shopping , really, that was what it seemed to me when I saw it .

LOL!

Conversion looks good trigger2k10.

 

[trigger2k10]

I just found them!

I'll post a more manl...er...beastly pic of mine later now that it's complete without the purse. Gotta wait for daylight. Flash doesn't do them justice.

 

[Centurion]

LOL! Quit saying 'purse'.
It's taking all the coolness out of the figure.

Damn, can't get that image out of my head.

Better do it quick, you gotta "clean up" Classic Predator's image and self confidence after that photo!

I know, rite? Hyacinth Predator must be destroyed.

I think I'll have him killing one of my Dragon Vietnam figures tomorrow.

My Classic arrived yesterday and everything looked great, but the head was detached. It looked like it should just be a matter of popping the pegs back into the neck.

I put a scary amount of pressure on the top of his head and mashed down and I THOUGHT it was in place, but it rolled right out upon the first "pose"... A bit more force (I'm 6'2", 250 lbs, lol, assembling a predator. What a picture that would be!) and now I THINK it's in place, but still kinda being safe with the poses, just in case...

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Also, @Bakurenoh -- I see what you meant about his poses. They do feel a bit constrained, not by the joints themselves, but moreso by the armor and especially the netting that he wears... as if you'll tear something if you are too extreme with the movement.

I haven't located the batteries that are mentioned in the instructions (are they already installed (?) but probably won't get some focused one-on-one time with the little guy till the weekend.

All in all, very pleased with the entire look of this one.

 

[EndIessRAlN]

Yea batteries are installed on the Classic. Just remove the tab in the back and it's good to go.

Yep, it is still available at SSC.

Family pictures, so far... (cellphone) -- will post a few more later once I have time to pop open my REAL camera. 3 Hot Toys, 1 big Neca, 1 li'l Neca.

You can tell that they weren't real happy about huddling so tightly together, but I coaxed them with a bit of hamburger meat and caviar.

Only one suggestion from someone who's been there: Exchange it.

I had the same problem with mine. The head simply would not stay on. After posting the problem here I had someone tell me it's common with these Preds, and someone else say theirs was fine.

My replacement has no issues. Just a small amount of pressure and it's locked in place. I can pick this one up by the head without it popping off. I know returning things is a pain in the neck, but for something this expensive it should be damn near perfect out of the box.

Does anyone kno if the arm pad is supposed to light up when you have it in regular mode? (without the blue parts) Soz this has already been discussed but its a big thread to look through.

Well, so far mine seems to be ok now. Just in case, how did you go about getting a replacement? Contact Sideshow -- or whoever you bought it from? In my case, I got it from a hobby store on Ebay.

It was shipped in the Hot Toys brown box and looked great. The inner Hot Toys box is perfect, and was obviously never opened -- so I'm not faulting the seller.

My thoughts are that a lazy factory worker or an employee that couldn't get it to go on was instructed to keep his mouth shut and just packaged it as it was -- un-assembled fully -- without saying anything. I can't see it just falling off in the box.

For now, it SEEMS ok, but again, just in case...
