Why not rubber. Have they done any rubber Pred bodies before? I hate the articulation joints on the ones we have.

I bet Sideshow will be all over this with maquettes. Oops, hang on. My wallet's trying to hang itself. Gotta go...

I'm hoping they steer away from rubber bodies fro the preds actually.:peace
id rather have the articulation than the LIMITED articulation the rubber suit offers...

...hellboy was an eye candy. but he gets his a** kicked repeatedly with my kroenen on a HT narrow shoulder TT.
 
Yeah I'd say no to rubber bodies aswell. Not only would we have to worry about them disintegrating over time but any paint would rub and flake away in a much shorter timeframe.

</object> heres a sneak peek at the new predator's by robert rodriguez
 
the last predator hot toys made(P1) was great, even if it was a little short compared to the others, i hope they stick to har bodies and not rubber.
from the sneak peak i counted 3 diferent predators but on the last image there are 5 or 6 lasers pointed at brody´s caracter , i hope hot toys will make all of them
did they anounce any plans for them ?
 
And a big reason to not have a rubber body like the muscle bodies is loss of articulation.

However, something like the Wolverine and T-800 bodies, with hard sculpted pieces the better blended together would be nice, there's room to push how close to a guy in a suit you can make the Predator figures look without losing the articuation we're used to.
 
It has potential, I just hope it doesn't feel too much like a Predator remake and is fresh and original enough.

4 predators, 1 hasnt been unveiled yet.
and they come with "SPECIAL" plasma casters, hunting gears according to the script.

Hot Toys got the license for all the predator movies released. i'm pretty sure they're not gonna let this one slip away as well.:monkey3
 
I can see at least 7 predators in this movie, look like Predator got a new pet too.

I want to see HT make their new Predator with new rubber body material like King Leonidas body it looks more realistic.

The story, as explained by Rodriguez is this: A tribe of predators has kidnapped a group of humans, the most deadly killers to be found on planet Earth, and dropped them on an alien planet which serves as a predator game preserve (note: It is not the predator home world). Think of it like a fisherman stocking his pond with trout. The primary trout here are played by Adrian Brody (who has seriously bulked up and against all odds is utterly convincing as a total badass), Topher Grace (who still looks like Topher Grace), Danny Trejo, and Alice Braga. They’ve been dropped in with no idea how they got there or who brought them, and they don’t really get along.

Here’s where we get into spoiler territory. So if you don’t want to know, bail out now.

The clip shown features Laurence Fishburne’s introduction. He shows up after our leads have landed, as a human character already on the planet. He’s utterly kickass, both here and in the trailer, chewing scenery up and spitting it back out. Rodriguez describes his character as “the one who got away”. He’s survived on the predator hunting preserve for an unspecified period of time, he knows all the tricks, and he’s figured out a way to beat them at their own game. The predators’ game involves real hunting techniques the likes of which we’ve never seen before, leading to the development of some of those new types of predators mentioned previously. Yet somehow, Fishburne’s character has survived.

Rodriguez and Antal talked at length about the film. Detailed bullet points containing everything they revealed follow:
The idea for the movie came from a 1996 script by Robert Rodriguez, but it’s been rewritten extensively since his script featured a return by Schwarzenegger’s Dutch from the original movie, while this movie does not.

The original Predator design from the original movie is in there, used for the first time since the 1987 movie. It’s a small part, but Rodriguez describes it as” a total flashback”, like seeing an actor you haven’t seen in a long time on screen.

Predators won’t be in 3D.

The movie uses primarily practical effects. The predators are all actors in costumes, there are no CG predators. Green screen was used only on a few brief sequences. They shot on location in Hawaii and in places around Austin.

Predators will definitely be rated-R. Fox may be planning an Unrated DVD.

James Cameron told Rodriguez that he came up with the original design for the Predator mouth used by effects guru Stan Winston.

Their first attempt at a trailer was rejected by the MPAA, and it ended with the Predators title fading out to leave only the “R”, a clear hint at their intention to deliver a gritty, hard-R film. You won’t see that in the trailers which were finally approved.

The film will introduce new kinds of never before seen predators. The concept was to develop the “ipod of predators”. Rodriguez explains these streamlined predators as being part of a different tribe from the ones we’ve seen before. It’s like the difference between “wolves and dogs”. New predators include Falconer predators, a massive Flusher predator they call “Mr. Black” (referred to in some internet rumors as a “Super Predator” which is just a meaningless script description), and you’ll see predator dogs along with airborne predator creatures.

Rodriguez and Antal wanted each human character on the planet to feel like they could be a character in their own solo story.

Expect to see lots of different alien creatures, including predator animals and other “prey” brought to the planet by predator hunters.

You’ll see two different predator tribes in the movie.

All of the film’s characters are new and how they get to the planet is new.

There is a reference in the film to the original movie in the form of something a character believes was a ghost story. This character will recognize the original predator for what it is when it’s seen.

So far so good, this movie might actually turn out to be ok.
But I wont hold my breath.
 
The trailer pormises so much :rock I hope it delivers! The one with the bone jaw for some reason reminds me of Celtic. I don't know why :lol

But I stick by guns saying the one with the two tusks coming out of his mask is my favourite!

Gotta say, after seeing this, my pump level just rose. :D Looks awesome, so far! :rock
 
Yes, this is looking great. Looking forward to the first trailer, and more related info. BTW, I would love to have that poster, looks bad ass.
 
I can't believe how great that looked, even Brody appeared semi badass. I will be there first day it opens and I haven't been to theaters in at least 10 years. Also hottoys has all my money for this line, every single damn dime is theirs now.
