I miss him.....

He is pretty bad ass with the mask on. It would be better if you didnt have to lean him on the wall so he doesnt topple over now.

NOPE. As Nam posts "FAIL"

Should have never sold him. I've learned from others' mistakes. Don't sell something you're gonna regret. So I know for sure that none of my HT Preds will ever leave my side. If I need money I'll do overtime and sell blood or something.

Sorry....Rain, i hear you but the kids come first. I had to take my son to the E.R and had to pay almost $800 in medical bills. The V.A doesn't pay enough. Ohhh trust me I've had my blood spilled.

Guys, I'm going to have to give my 2 cents here, since no one seem to have figured this out yet...

The "Celtic" that Ash bought is not a Celtic at all. Since all the Preds from the PVA series share the same body, face, and armor, you can replace the mask with a fake Celtic mask and call it a poor man's Celtic. That's why it doesn't come with the box or stand, cuz there is no Celtic nameplate or box in the first place, it would have given away that the figure was never a Celtic to begin with if he included them. I have seen that 1:6 Celtic bio sold on Ebay before, it's a pretty common 1:6 bio sculpted by someone who pretty much has he's own version of all the 1:6 masks including ones not released by Hot Toys.

I'm not super familiar with the going rate of HT AVP preds, but my guess is he used a cheaper pred, gave it a fake Celtic bio, and sell it at a higher price.

not a true fact.

The arm gauntlet is not the same on the Celtic.

It has the net launcher on it.

Your rite but all three of the figs with the same body sell for 700 or more new. So for him to destroy a Chopper for a Celtic or a Scar isnt very logical. But with this guy anything seems possible. His time is ticking

Well like I said I'm not super familiar with the going rates here, so I guess that's not the case. But I'm pretty certain I've seen that Bio before. The seller on Ebay usually has all his 1:6 bios up, but they're not listed right now. I'll check and see if they come back on later and see if they are in fact the same mask.

I looked at the completed. Its a different mask then what I have in my hands.

Ehem!

The cheaper AVP pred compared to Celtic right now would be either the Elder or the Chopper. The difference in price isn't much really. And there are more than a few differences that people who own them knows.

Celtic comes with the net launcher gauntlet just like what tnaig said above. (Celtic is the ONLY one that comes with that in the AVP series.) He also comes with the same feet as Scar with the smaller toe blades. (If he was replaced with a Chopper or Elder body, the giant blades on the feet would have given it away.) Elder comes with a much bigger necklace with human skull on it and not the small animal skulls that the Celtic comes with. Chopper however DOES come with the same necklace as the Celtic but instead of the tanned/bone color, it is bleached (painted) in WHITE! To go through all that trouble (swapping the feet, getting a net launcher, getting the proper necklace) to make the Celtic look almost identical would take a lot of work. He wouldn't go through all those details just to smack on a clearly fake HT Celtic Bio.

I won't even mention Scar since the differences are even more noticeable. (Abdominal armor, Scar on forehead, no chopper blades...etc.)

Not to mention that PvA said he will supply the stand. If it says anything other than "Celtic Predator" on it, he's only digging himself a deeper grave so why bother?

The reason that we haven't figured it out yet my friend is that because there's too many factors here and it's not as simple as "swapping the bio" like you mentioned. It is true that they come off as clones of each other right off the bat but HT made sure they included small items and details that makes each one of them slightly different.

Those are my 2 cents. And you're welcome.

Hey Ash. Can we get a full body pic of the Celtic in question that PvA sent you?




Edit: HEY THIS IS MY 3000's POST! WOO HOO! Sure have come a long way here.

 

[ashkanls]

Here you go.

 

[EndIessRAlN]

Here you go.

Looks about right. It's a Celtic minus spear, stand an authentic bio. Sorry Theo but it's not quite figured out yet.

 

[darthjuan007]

It's not?? I was told by the seller(of that Bio mask) that is was. ____! this is Bull____(on my behalf and his) I'm trying to make this right, but who has $420 laying around? I sure as hell don't.

I can send $50 right now, and try and sell some other things(like my custom P2, I had a thread on it, but Ash ruined it)

This IS my fault, I thought I was selling an "original"(streching the original part) Celtic Predator.

I need more time then "till Tuesday" bull____. Everyone I've delt with on here, know I'm a trustworthy buyer/seller.

WTF....dude i even offered to help you out.cuss

Dont help him out. He might screw you over to bail himself out on me. Bernie Maydoff style. How old is he Darth??

20-21 if I remember but don't quote me on that. I only talked to him on the phone once. You know I sold him a Chopper Pred too.

How much did you sell these for?

 

[darthjuan007]

I'll send you a PM.....and you'll know why I go like this when I think about it.

 

[Theokan]

Here is the custom Celtic I'm talking about, I know this isn't the exact same mask that you got, but people have been converting a Chopper into a Celtic for much cheaper than buying one. I looked at the Celtic you got and immediately thought it looks like the same kind of custom to me:
