Predators - 1/6th scale Classic Predator Collectible Figure

[Annunaki]

Nice review, joebizz34. Send an email to Hot Toys ([email protected]) or Sideshow and that will fix you right up.

I tried the email-to-Hot-Toys-route. They emailed back in about 3 days, asking for pics of the figure and proof of payment. Here's their email to me:

I sent pics and a paypal screenshot.

They never responded after that.

The ebay person I purchased from is an actual hobby store who sells nothing but figures and accessories. Maybe he wasn't an "official channel". Either way, it's resolved, but it would have been professional of Hot Toys to let me know one way or another rather than just ignore it.

Did you really expect them to help you..? Hot Toys doesn't give a ____ about their customers..

They have to protect themselves from people trying to get free parts out of them. But if you send them a screengrab of your paypal payment they will help you out. It might take them a while to respond, but when they do, it's usually to tell you they've sent the part and a tracking number.

I've never dealt with them but this is the general impression I get from reading opinions on here.

I have constantly mailed them about my Bruce Wayne/Batman figure because of the color on the suit turning grey without me doing anything to it. They never responded.

Classic in the rain... (ok, not really). Just a weird effect I had on my cell phone, thought it looks kinda cool.

 

[joebizz34]

I did deal with HT once directly for a small issue with another figure I bought and they made me go through the same process of proving the purchase and emailing them pics. Then no response for a very long time. One day a few months later, I received an email back saying they were sending out a replacement part and I did receive it. So for all who has contacted them, be patient. If you have given the proof needed, you may be surprised.

Looks good...Classic goes P2 meathouse brawl.

That's seem to be Hot Toys way to do 2nd better versions, Batman, Joker, Terminator all got the DX treatment, I just don't see how Predator could have its DX version, aside from detachable shoulder cannon or medikit it doesn't have enough accesories.

A tree base and an extremely well articulated body maybe?

You either have not seen any of the movies or not creative enough.

Great job with the video joebizz.

 

[Robban]

My Classic, and my Shadow.

They complement each other quite well, I think.

 

[greygoose]

Congrats Robban.

Classic seems to photo well in every pic he is in. Top figure he is!

 

[Wulf]

Nice photos Robban! They look great together!

 

[Firebird]

Some quick pics of my Classic Predator & final pose I will be going with. ​

 

[Centurion]

Love the BD bio look.

Good pose there, firebird.

Thank you!!

Any of the movies?

how many Predator (1987) movies did they film?

how many accesories for the Predator of that movie can you think of?
