im sure you have...its been a while since ive last seen ur videos


i ordered mines from bbts and im waiting:impatient: maybe i should have ordered it from cornerstorecomics instead, but their trying to sell masked predator for $95 i believe :gah:
 
I'm kind of hoping I can just find them at Toys R Us. I always like to inspect before I buy if I can.

Me too...but in this case, with all the hype about these I wanted to make sure I even got one.

Otherwise, I'm checking each box and picking the best one I can find. My TRU hates when I walk in... :panic::panic::panic:

I'm pretty sure mine does as well, especially around Transformer season. In 2009 I had them bring up 2 pallets of figures, well they offered but the grunt that brought them up seemed disgruntled. Same goes for any figure really, always check the back before I leave. :lol

until i see something by NECA saying otherwise, you can only get these online or specialty/comic shops who also get them online. basically, it's a crap-shoot and you either get a nice one or you don't.
 
This NECA figure is very good. To me it serves good as a origional factory model, and also a great base to start off with. Neca really has done it with this figure, its great. I want to build up from it. I will be getting a set of 12 maybe or just 4 of 1 of the same and working that one. I plan on putting the following to make it the most screen accurate figure of its kind ever. Some of the things I am about to list have been done on Hot Toys Predators figures. Here they go.


1) Add a strong LED to the Mask
2) Give the helmet a more goosebump look, the way it looked with a more noticable purple dots on his nose.
3) Try to replicate Tankman's guy custom paint job that he did with his expecially the hands. By also looking at stills.
4) Add real quils to his face.
5) Maybe toutch on the dred's if I think they need it once I get this.
6)Open up the self destruct device, build the inside the way it looked and add electronics to make a countdown sequence with actual sound. Also to the top when you close it.
7) Add the blue dots on top, and the yellow colors. (Maybe sound effects too)
8) Add the missing wire that runs along the medical kit.
9) Try to add a removable medical kit by cutting it off, and making it from their. Just like the Hot Toys one. With actual removable things. Paint it nice shiny crome silver.
10) Maybe like someone else said before, make a removable mask.
11) Add a few tweaks to him to make him alittle taller not that he is not already wheoo!
12) Add accurate netting.
13) Over all give him that goose goose bump bump look he had. While still keeping him drooly and slimy.
14) Add more articulation points to him to get him in any pose possible.
15) ADD real metal blades with still details on them. Have the blades retract all the way, split apart and come back together.
16) Add sounds to him. This has been done before by a guy that is a member of youtube.
17) Add plasma to his mounted caster, which is blue lights shooting out of it.
18) Find a way to make his eyes glow yellow/orange firey.
19) Add a peril eye rolling system.
20) Add a nice HUGE forrest jungle base with alots of room.
21) ADD A pleac of " Predator Any Time" in origional font in big red.
22) Possibly create a new box or have a company to do it which is much bigger with better cool pictures.
23) Put him back in his box and come back 15-20 years later to check on him. And everything else I possibly left out that I remember later on.

AND THATS IT.


Tankman has said to " work your magic" with this one, and I think hes right. I always dreamed of something so cool and nice like this.

Most of you are probably shaking your heads thinking, this guy is insane.

Well, I am shaking my head because I dont even know if I can get all this done too. But I will not try, I will do it. I will post pictures in a couple of months, MARK MY WORDS.

lol, people always look at me like I am crazy when buying something, I always check each box and check each toy, I look at every detail,
one time a girl asked me why was I doing that, she thought I had a problem or something lol

My earlier pics might've been a little deceiving - Crappy phone camera and all.

Here's some even crappier pics of him right next to Vader & Talon. I'd say he's still a touch shy of true 1/4 scale, but it's working for me in my display so far.

Even these pics are pretty warped and deceiving.

LOL That's a pretty Hot Couple!!!! :love
 
just got back from TRU...no 1/4 scale Preds...yet

Thank you for the update, although, I should probably check my local TRU anyway because I'm sure this is a 'your mileage may vary' type of thing.

Could the Preds be available in stores even before they ship them to the people that preorder?

I wasn't thinking much about it but, this is worrying me again, damn :monkey4

I hope and Pray and Hope that Toys R us Comes through and ships their preorders soon :pray:

the troll is back in all his glory. l mean WTF. l thought your posts couldn't get any more rediculous.

like you're going to do anything you just listed. that list is pretty much rediculous. by the way tell us how you are going to make plasma shoot out of his cannon. :slap. and why the hell would you try to get a company to make a bigger box for him with better pics on it.:cuckoo: you say you will show us your finished predator in a few months, well you hopefully wont be here in a few months.

hahaha, I think these ones made me laugh the most :rotfl
 
Wall is ready for the Preds. :yess:

I made the shelves from larger one's that I cut down and painted a dark satin green, I couldn't put the one right under the poster like I wanted because I found out there's a stud there so I had to revise my plan.
After (Bring em on!)...

2 days and counting...

:yess:

That's going to look great once you get your Preds. I've managed to find the original poster like you have but it's over £100.:horror All ebay has is smaller reprints.

All we need now is a 1/4 scale skull trophy for him to hold

I second this.:lecture

hahaha, I think these ones made me laugh the most :rotfl

It's all crazy.:cuckoo:

:lol
