Wolf Predator LSF leg cracking

[Python]

A totally different color is one thing, but something that logically could and/or should have been on that character is fine with most.

Why is that logical? A few of them had pieces missing, it is part of what made them unique. Wolf didn't have any, a 2k statue based on him shouldn't have. And the Proto that was sculpted by the same people that designed him didn't have it so clearly ADI didn't want any. If I get one, first thing I'll do is rip the leg netting off. It's cool if people like it and all, but it was a mess up plane and simple.

yep, one of the biggest factory blunders I've seen from anyone. And a clear example that SS doesn't have much control over the factories that work on these. For 2k, highly unacceptable. Of course I bought it anyways, but I am selling it soon.

Of course it is wrong, not saying it isn't. Someone told the factory to put them on, they would not have on their own. What I am saying is it is not as huge a deal as others are saying. I would probably take them off too, but it still looks good either way.

How soon AP? I am still waiting on another member for a trade to get mine, but I have not heard from him in a while so I may be SOL. Send me a PM.

But on the flip side, plenty of people think it is a big issue also, especially given the premium price point. Nobody would have intentionally told them to add it, why would they? It is more likely that when the factory made their first sample, which all production pieces would be based on, they just didn't pay attention and added it at that stage. It should have been caught by somebody but clearly it wasn't.

The Q.C guy was asleep... I think he's always asleep.

I agree. Completely enhances the piece in my opinion and is logically sound.
One thing that I may do.... And I stress 'may do' is add the detail of the life size 1:1 scale plasma cannon from sideshow to the shoulder cannons on the wolf LSF... Does anyone know if the red countdown system is the same when the cannon is a shoulder weapon rather than a hand weapon?

[El Mule]

I don't think, the cannon doesn't seem to need a cooldown time when it's placed on the shoulder (probably powered by the backpack). But I'm no expert, lol

I've got someone coming this weekend to look at it. I don't really want to ship it out of state either....

Indeed. This isn't a piece that you would want to risk with shipping.
The fact that it got to some customers from Sideshow, with both portraits and dreads intact, is amazing.

 

[Heavy Metal Spike]

S'funny isn't it - we all like Preds - but some think this is the best thing since sliced bread and others wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

Still - that's true for all sort of collectibles.

Yep, the packaging blows.

BEST Predator ever.

 

[El Mule]

City Hunter is THE Predator, imho. Stan at his highest, with all the time and money he wanted to put a s**tloads of details on the beast.
Jungle Hunter is the original one, the one without which there wouldn't have been any Predator, but City Hunter brought the design to the next level. Too bad none of the following Predators followed the same route.

 

[Rogue_Predator]

The City Hunter is very cool. Putting aside who designed which predator etc... Wolf would destroy all other known predators in a fight to the death with using there full arsenal of weapons and gadgets etc! No contest... Which is why he is my No 1!

[El Mule]

Dunno, strictly going by "canon" isn't the Berserker the strongest one?
They did a real mess with the "super" Predators. Only super things they manage to do is being killed easily (a Pred killed by a katana, seriously? The City Hunter stopped 6 shotgun bullets from close range with just a scratch) or beating an already beaten regular Pred. Meh.

 

[Xenoburger_]

You could argue which predator is the strongest/most skillful all day, because what we see in the films can be very contradictory due to limitations caused by the suits, the budgets, etc.

Scar can jump 20+ feet in the air, do all kinds of flips, etc - but he's supposed to be one of the least skillful predators we've seen in the films as he's young and unblooded.

At the end of the day I think Wolf was meant to be the greatest predator we've ever seen. He's a veteran badass who's called in to clean up the mess that a normal hunter would make. He's the unbeatable secret agent who's seen it all and can do anything. A predator fanboy's wet dream, which is exactly what the Strause Brothers were going for.

Scar though, I think has shown the most skill and combat prowess of any predator we've seen on film.

So you take Wolf's story as it's stated in the script, add Scar's moves from the film and you have the proper representation of Wolf IMO.

Wolf was an Elder, of course he'll be decent in a fight, that and he had a specific job being the clean up guy... you're forgetting there is an even older Elder in the canon though, and I don't mean the Fugly AVP version. Could probably finish of wolf before he even eats his coco pops.

 

[Rogue_Predator]

I'm not sure an elder would wipe wolf from the universe before he had his coco pops lmao! Wolf is a dark character.

Wolf in the sewers proved it to me... Wiped out loads of aliens... Whereas Celtic and Chopper were wiped out my a young alien lmao!
