Why isn't there more of an outrage that HT hasn't made Predator 1 yet?

"Why isn't there more of an outrage that HT hasn't made Predator 1 yet?"

Cos no amount of whining is gonna make HT hurry up plus we've whined enough already.

pretty much sums everything up. no point in in whining about it because they are gonna wait until the Dark Knight steam winds down before they come out with Predator. to be honest they can take all the time they want...just give us Dutch, Dillon, Billy, and the rest of the squad.

Honestly, I want one, but these things are expensive. I know it'll come eventually, but I'm not in a big hurry to pay either! Well, at least not until the promotion/raise kicks in...

 

[Dr Daystrom]

It'll sell like hotcakes whenever they make it. Where's their incentive to rush?

 

[DinoLast]

Well, the Hot Toys Bust is not that popular with some people. So I guess it's worth the wait if they do a good head sculpt. You could always get the sideshow dio or if your mega rich the cinemaquette while your waiting for the figure

they'll probally make so many they won't be worth much down the line.. but we'll see. I know I'm buying.

i think SDCC 08 we will see a proto. 09 is way too long

 

[magman3]

I've actually lost interest with this line. I love the movies...some of my favorites in fact, but with lost predator and the machiko's release, I've just found myself zoning away from the line. In fact, I'm down to just my Wolf and one alien. Have to make room for stuff I'm more active with.

We just had SDCC 08

And Toy Fair '09 is only 4 months away.

The Slug is drunk again

After just receiving the 1/4 scale bust, I truly hope top notch effort is put into making the P1 figure the best in their Predator lineup. The bust is ok, but a figure of it could look much much better and anything resembling the bust or lesser will be a HUGE let down and a wasted opportunity.

 

[Darth_Fatso]

I don't mind waiting. Gives me extra time to save up for other things *cough* TDK suited Batman and Two-Face *cough*. Mark my words, HT will make a P1 Pred, it's just a question of when.

 

[Kuzeh]

Well, figure can easily be out by now, all the outfit is already done on P2 Elder,
only headscuplt and mask is needed, I think HT already has it...
they're just waiting for the right time once the DK hype is over

I think there isn't any outrage because fans are pretty much "assured" that Hot Toys will do it. They did announce they had all the Alien/Predator licenses (to my best knowledge) and they've delivered plenty on ALL their licenses...so fans have a lot of faith and trust that Hot Toys will show the original PREDATOR in due time.

And most importantly we have faith KNOWING THEY CAN MAKE IT. Unlike the case was with Sideshow and whether they could actually make or WOULD MAKE armored figures.

Obviously they have a lot of other releases out or coming soon that have kept fans satisfied. The ALIEN crew...The Dark Knight...and upcoming soon the Lost Predator and ALIEN 3...so even though people WANT the Predator...we're still happy that what they are delivering and those are keeping our wallets busy!

Plus, it gives Hot Toys plenty of time to practice, refine and perfect their direction with the Predator figures. You can see that evidence with the new body style with the Wolf and whether Hot Toys is going to go a similar direction with the PREDATOR or not. I'm sure fans want the best possible sculpt and design and Hot Toys wants to deliver that.

I think also Hot Toys is pushing to get Dutch and Billy out first...and right now they might be struggling with the likeness issues. I have a feeling they DO NOT want to put out Dutch without the Arnie-likeness...they might eventually be forced to...but let's not shake it here...How many of you would buy Dutch if HE DID NOT look like Arnold Schwarzenegger? Dutch's whole thing is that he is Arnold. So this also could be putting an unfortunate "pause" in the PREDATOR line.

 

[DarthTrafford]

I'm just getting into this line and I know I won't be able to get all of them but if they do make a Predator from the 1st movie I'm all for it and I can wait. That way I can save up the cash for him LOL!
