Hot Toys - MMS173 - Predator 2: 1/6th scale City Hunter Predator Collectible Figure

Are you people sure you want Wolf redone? He will most probably have 2 complete mandibles if it's done by Mr.Tsang .

Yeah, but Wolf is the only Predator that actually needs Tsang-style mandibles. The original one looked terrible. Like a shriveled raisin with needle-thin tusks.

I know. Tsang, accuracy and source material don't mix too well.

those are the only ones i really want to get too

It's all about the mask. It just needs afew changes and it could be perfect.

Why don't any of you's want the AVP Preds? They look ____ing awesome.
I definitely want Wolf & Elder like you guys already mentioned too

why really?

 

[a-dev]

Way I see it - P1 and P2 still look the best. All others have been aesthetically inferior but I can still accept them as different members of the same species. They have individuality even if I happen to think they look crappier.

but I can still accept them as different members of the same species.

and i cannot see species in them as they are just poor painted low quality rubber masks with no life or talent in them.
that's even not speaking about difference between thomas br. hunters on picnic and avp elf-samurai abominations.

 

[a-dev]

One of those things we'll have to agree to disagree on. Inferior yes, but I would tolerate them using my rationalisation mentioned above.

Why you-

Regardless of any other Preds at the mo they'd better just concentrate on improving this figure for production.

I hope to see a new head sculpt on SDCC.

Do they not usually give updates on their facebook when they make changes though?

Imo HT Wolf Predator looks amazing (especially with his mask on) and he's one of my favorite figures to own because of all the poses he can hold. Now, consider the Wolf Pred re-made, it's going to take a VERY different body size than whats been used for the past like 6 preds??? And the new Pred bodies also offer less poseability. Wolf was NOT bulky, he was agile and well equipped, that was his advantage. Now when you re-use all the parts they've been using for a Pred like P2, it ends up looking acceptable. But when you use those same parts on preds like Wolf or the AVP preds, I am a little worried... I just hope HT is smart enough to foresee this before they tackle these projects. What do you guys think??

That being said, I am VERY excited to see how this P2 turns out, as well as seeing a new Wolf, etc etc

Naaaaaaaaaaaaah. Alice is a perfect example - first time ppl saw her "updated" sculpt at ANI-COM fair and HT never said a word about it even after the actual release.

Here's hoping then.

Well it's not that I don't want any of them. Don't get me wrong I still love almost every pred there ever was but since I dont want to spent that much money I'd rather just have 3 or 4 of my favorites and call it a day

 

[MProjects]

I really dunno what to think of this figure at the moment...NECA really is where its at for me but c'mon Hot Toys.
Seriously are they really this lazy and cheap to their fans? I dont like that mouth sculpt at all.
Im looking forward to their new Wolf the most hoping they dont screw him up. I loved the original.

I think the new P2 is going to be very similar to the classic pred from predators. If they remake wolf they would definitely have to pay attention to his more athletic body as opposed to the bulkier P1 and P2. They can't honestly screw up something like that when they use a full image of the character to base their initial sculpt off of. I do think he will have far less poseability than the original though. I seriously hope they don't mess it up or they'll have a lot of angry customers

Famous last words.

All the new Preds will most probably use the current Predator body. Classic, Shadow and City Hunter all use it.

The dreads don't look rubbery. Are they?
