Hot Toys 1/6 The Predator Figure Speculation

Actually it's a "twist" in the middle of the film.
Unless they've recut the movie and changed everything...

That would be cool , so sick of the movie patterns as of late. Need none stop madness

I'm actually ok with that. Same reason as zuckuss77.

Yeah it would help me in the theater for sure. I will definitely go but I hate the build up to this movie after the trailer. Shane hyped it up so much as if it was going to be so different than any movie we have watch and I seriously doubt that

Well, the restler perdator WILL be killed by the trio of leads (kid, his dad and Munn).
That's cliche Hollywood in a nutshell.

Guess that's that then. Woof.

Awful design. From Wolf Predator to this?!

 

[Rotfish]

I hated Wolf. This is an improvement for me.

A bit jarring in bright light, but the gold pops nicely in the dark. Thought it looked great in the trailer.

Wolf was closer to the original "tribal feel" design. This one looks like it belongs to a power ranger episode.

Even side boob...

The fishnets on the legs completes the travesty.
Man, ADI just can't make a good lookin' Predator even their lives would depend on it.

 

[P.]

oh, if it's adi again, everything is understandable.

I hope this thing gonna die in the first minutes of the movie cause it's not a true Predator ! It's some kind of joke. They have so many good references from the lost clan

 

[toyrewind]

They should've gone to Legacy Effects for the Predator or maybe it wasn't ADI's fault but the director who chose that pred design.

 

[P.]

Tor maybe it wasn't ADI's fault but the director who chose that pred design.

if a director chooses ADI for predators, it says a lot about what he wants.

Posted this in the movie thread, but that image is of a promotional statue, not the screen-used suit. Compare its helmet to the one in the trailer and it's not accurate. Colors are more muted on screen, bio isn't as tall, edges are rounder, more fine details and ridges, proportions of the shapes are different. The statue at that convention is more akin to a Sideshow attempt at recreating the suit.

Reposting this so people can compare. Note the shape of the central "mouthpiece" area. Looks like a rounded triangle here, but on the statue it's more of a classic rectangular shape that they just painted gold.

As for who designed the armor, it's my understanding that ADI simply built the suits, but the design was done by someone else.

^ on this screenshot you can also see the undermask area of the headpiece exposed because of the poorly made suit. And they left it in. *sigh*

I mean, I didn't say ADI were good at building suits.

That totally looks like an neca predator
