Predators - 1/6th scale Classic Predator Collectible Figure

[Centurion]

Oh believe me, it does.

I remember when I was obsessed with these figures, now I'm selling them all off.

..There was a time when I would be so excited to pose them, after several months it kind of became a chore.


...but I'm kinda OCD and if I didn't pose them perfectly i'd go insane..so...

Taken up a new hobby LT?

I'll start buying the figures again if they make them more accurate..I've been trying not to spend much on collectibles until we see somthing from Prometheus though.

The 1/4 HT Preds are going to be hard to resist..I just pray that they sculpt them accurately.

Cool photos.

I like the embers and fire, although at first I thought, "What's he doing in an iron foundry?"

the final fight at the camp site ? durr
wish i had berserker to go with it, but i'm not a big fan of the new breed without masks

Berserker would look much better had they sculpted his mug accurately. I know HT doesn't do the most spot-on Predator work, but the gap between what we saw on-screen and what the figure looks like is massive, even more so than that of their other Preds. We can always expect the company to screw up a little, but Berserker? Nowhere near close IMO.

I think with the case of the super preds, Hot Toys decided to go with a design they could use across the board, with all three preds.

Berserker really needed to have his own sculpt and, realistically, a second head with biomask glued on. The shape of his head doesn't seem to accomodate the biomask he is wearing. Berserker's head was long from front to back.

Even in the movie itself, you don't see a complete, uncut shot of him wearing the bio and removing it. The scene where he removes his bio was cut.

Yeah my main issue with HT Berserker is inaccurate head.
It sticks out like a sore thumb so been hesitant in getting it.

The scene were Berserker removes his mask was handled poorly in the film. It was too quick and we don't get a good view of hs unmasked head. It's a shame because in the behind the scenes pics you can see the amount of detail they put into the head. It feels like they only had him remove his mask because that's 'what a Predator does' in a film, he then put his mask back on after about 2 minutes.

i think the colour was off as well, he seemed more grey in the movie than green

Doesn't the berserker have its own thread?
But I gotta agree with what everyone said. I don't think the bio is ever coming off the head. The inaccuracies are just too much to bare. May throw some double sided tape on the back of the bio so it'll stop Fallon off at times and maybe carve some battle damage into his bio like in the movie.
What else can I do to make berserker better?

DOUBLE SIDED TAPE.... great idea! Hadn't thought of that. I was one of the many that were blessed with a Classic head issue. Doesn't stay on when positioned certain ways. I'm spoiled with the precision-perfect-fluid movement that the Berserker and Falconer necks have.

Someone else suggested altering the neckhole with a few layers of nail polish or even super glue (not superglue the head, just create a film and apply the head once the glue dries.)

Maybe a sliver of double-sided tape will do the trick, just maybe will be enough for there to be something to grab onto. Maybe.

Thanks!!

How about airbrushed spots like the proto and Classic instead of carved in details?

Finally i had succeeded to get a Super Predator Skull for ebay.

Now my Classic Predator got a trophy.

My normal Classic Predator version had "changed" to Limited edition, haha.

I definitely will take out the battery to prevent the batteries leaking.
So the batteries in all of my Predator figures had been removed.

Great collection.
If you have Berserker, you can include that too.

Time for a wall of trophies custom, like we saw in Predator 2.

Now you just need the alien skull from the BD p2

 

[EXOTICLEX]

I may use some credit and get this guy. Do you guys foresee HT's redoing P1? I know they have a P2 in the works. I really was letdown by this film. But the first two Pred films are cult classics.

We need a clean human skull with P2, as well as a bloodied spine version. Maybe an updated Alien skull could be the exclusive accessory. Then we'll get the giant dinosauresque noggin with this summer's Lost Hunter (yes, I expect we're getting one this year).
