Re: Hot Toys - MMS173 - Predator 2: 1/6th scale City Hunter Predator Collectible Figu
After seeing the Toy Hunters video I'm definitely getting this now, I'm actually worried that the Classic will look a piece of ____ next to him though

I'm still rooting for the AVP Preds, Wolf and P2 Elder to be remade in 1/6. All five will probs work out at the same price as two 1/4's.

What they said. Seriously Lar'ja, just buy it and sell it if they come out with a superior version. I'm crazier about Predator and Alien than any other franchises, and I too notice the inaccuracies (especially since this is also my favorite Predator from the original movies), but I'm not denying myself an overall rockin' figure because of a few issues. Take a chance and enjoy it for what it is since it still has quite a few pros -- way more than the original. If something comes up down the road, you'll at least know you'll be able to sell it.

Definitely with you on that. I think Tsang's weird mandible-sculpting tendencies will work perfectly on Wolf. He's got a habit of making them thick and strong-looking, which is what Wolf actually needs. The first one's face looked like a raisin with stringy tendrils coming out of it.

 Classic is so much better then expected when you have him in hand. P2 will too no doubt. Plus it's P2, this is my first chance to own him in figure form.

And Wolf's closed mandibles look like how the current closed HT's mandibles look. OMG, Wolf would look so awesome!

You know that for the quills all they have to do is make interchangable faces problem solved.

I didn't expect quills on the 1/6 remakes to begin with. The 1/4 P1, on the other hand... maybe. They'd have to be made of the same rubber as the dreads, so as not to break off with the biohelmet on.
