Awesome display. I noticed that I had already given it a thumbs up from before!

I can't believe it's been 10 years since the figure's release. I so wish for a newly dedicated Jungle Hunter Predator from Hot Toys...

You'd think with all the buzz around the Prime 1 studios Predator statues that Hot Toys would at least consider a 2.0 Predator. I know that the world of statues and 1/6 don't always crossover but it shows that there is still huge interest for figures and statues of the classic Predator design.

The iron is hot. If they solicited a Dutch and Jungle Hunter, they'd have an extremely tempting alternative for fans of larger Predator pieces.

Thank you mate. Trying to improve my figures and displays rather than buying more figures. I enjoy them more this way

Nice work man, looks beautiful.

Might I suggest tinting the armor green? I did so on mine and it looks quite stunning, the silver kinda looks cheap without some weathering. #thispostisuselesswithoutpics.

Will check movie pics and that difference you talk about. Did not notice before. Thanks for the input

Did not notice before

P1 has armor with some green tints, brown dirts, burns. but not the shoulder cannon mount with the cannon itself, that one should remain dark steel if i remember it correctly.
not sure about little right shoulder part.

I think the Prime 1 Jungle Hunter promo pics should be a decent enough reference for tinting the armor. The Classic is too silver so if anyone's converting their it's not a hard thing to do with some acrylic washes.

 

[P.]

they painted the cannon base into green as well, which should be metal with no green.
also their armor looks a bit too green and with no metal gloss on it. but at least it has green in it, unlike most P1 representations.
oh and yes, the left shoulder guard has no green also and is lighter than other parts.

also the blades box should be same dark metal with no green as the shoulder cannon mount and cannon itself. probably s the parts that were molded separate from the suit (shoulder cannon post with the medkit, blades box) didn't share that greenish tint.

Because I'm stupid, I've never realized that to convert this into the Jungle Hunter, his hands are the wrong color, so I'm painting them black as it was in the movie and modding the palms to be more accurate (the JH has more exposed flesh). I'm also using straws to make the hair beads, will post a converted P1 Pred soon.

huh, i used old P1 hands because of difference in Classic's and P1's palms, but i never thought about modifying Classic's palm instead!
as for the color, they are not actually black, just not so warm brown as on Classic.

 

[Jay Virtual]

Here is the finished repainted hand if anyone's interested. No resculpting whatsoever, just painting the palm to create the fake skin, the glove & rings.

Nice job, Jay!

Now it's time for yet another request for HT to revisit "Predator" and provide us with updated versions of the JH and Dutch, at the very least.

Thanks and bah! They won't do it, cuz it's all MCU/SW now!
