I have a question for all you fellow 'Freaks' out there... What do all of you suppose is going to happen with the original HT P2 once this "new and improved P2 City Hunter lands in our hands? Predictions anyone?? Prices go up? Prices gonna plummet like original P1 did when Classic came out? Or is Orig P2 going to continue to be a pretty sought-after piece?

The P2 is already been dropping, there's a couple freaks here this week alone that have listed theirs for under $200, one was $175. I don't think it will be as hard to sell as the P1 because some may opt to put the original P2 head on the new P2. I want to see what the effect will be like when they re-release the AVP pred(s).

Probably the same way as the MK I, prices will drop. That was up for similar prices as the AVP figures until the MK I 2 was announced.
 
I guess we're contradicting ourselves in regards to wanting accurate Preds.:monkey1 :lol

I've accepted Hot Toys for how they are. As far as their figures go, it's pretty much whatever looks cool. :lol I do, however, want the P2 Elder mandibles to look at least 80% accurate. That threshold may seem a little low, but if you think about it, the current mandibles are only 40% there. And you can't expect perfection from Tsang, sadly.
 
:slap:slap:slap:slap:slap:slap:slap:slap:slap:rotfl

Stang sucks, but they're cool and I'll be buying them...

Accuracy>accuracy>accuracy>OCD>OCD>OCD...blah, blah, blah... GTFO. :lol
 
Mandables are important for a Pred so they need to be somewhat accurate. Not like the new CH!

I just have a threshold for accuracy. City Hunter still strikes me as acceptable, but his mandibles on Elder will be a major turn-off. Add to that the fact that the original Elder looked fantastic (not perfect, but very close). The remake should, if it can't outdo the previous one, at least be in the same ballpark as the first.

Yet around the board fans are expecting perfection on other major characters.

As an example; if you look at how the Joker sculpt has been progressed over the years and it's continued to improve everytime. With this though I don't even think Tsang tried to better the first P2 sculpt; I don't even think he was bothered about matching it.

It sticks out like a sore thumb for me! :lol
 
How does it usually work on here? Is there one big SDCC thread or do exisiting threads get bumped with new stuff? I don't want to miss it all! :panic:

If any new products are revealed that we didn't know about before, threads will most-likely be created in the appropriate sections. If it's something we've seen, but not at SDCC, pics will be posted in the existing threads.

I hope we see a thread titled Hot Toys 1/4th Scale Jungle Hunter Predator...
 
He hunts jungles for sport!













ever get that moment where you wonder did you just post something really stupid and thus you would like to delete it before anyone sees it? Or on the other hand what if it did actually raise a giggle and maybe you should leave it there. I'm having that now.
 
....no responses DELETE DELETE DELETE!!!
