Hi Guys, Due to a pending house move, and the need for funds and space, I've decided to put my HT Predator collection for sale. This includes a few items that I suspect Freaks would really appreciate...

I know NECA have said no plans for AVP, but there are at least nine "official" Predator designs they could pull from that movie. Heck, there are two more from AVP-R they could use.

Big Red is a surprise, but makes more sense that HT's Samurai Pred. Still hoping they go back and do the AVP preds.

Please define "a real fan". I'd like to class myself as one - you know, collecting Predator stuff since the 1980s, have read all the books, comics etc - and I personally think that, like the Guardian, it's very cool to see the Lost Preds getting a pretty decent 1/6 scale treatment. Yes I can...

Hmmm. I think that's just persuaded me not to buy HT's Shadow Pred...

Re: Hong Kong Ani-Com 2011: Hot Toys SAMURAI PREDATOR (Sculpture?) I can't see the Plastic Enemy pics (danged work filters!) but there's something that looks suspiciously like an elbow joint on the main pic. That said... if this is a figure, then are we looking at where HT are going in the...

Re: Hot Toys Predators - Classic Predator - MMS? QFT. I am beginning to think that the best way to get 'accurate' P1 and Classic will be to do a body swap between the two... put the dminutive body on Classic and the big one on P1. After all, Kevin Hall remains the tallest guy to have played...

It hasn't, and I'd be astonished if the retail was higher than Tracker with his hound. Still - thanks Prefused for your selfless efforts to drive down the value of scalping. I have to agree that the current Ebay auctions are showing the worst aspects of collector mania...

But I don't want to stop it! Surely it's a good thing that HT are producing more figures, and distinctive ones to boot. What I *want* is to be able to buy this at a retail price not an inflated one, and that can be achieved by simply exercising some discipline. Of course I should be grateful...

Absolute rubbish. No doubt a lot of people are seduced by exclusivity, but some of us genuinely like the P2 designs. I wouldn't pay $400 for it, but "Snake" has been on my want-list of Predators for years (heck, it was my avatar at one point...)

I'll be interested to see how many of those crazy 'preorders' actually sell - it's not like the sellers can even guarantee the item! I rather hope that the experience of the Guardian predator last year will exercise a positive influence - I mean, it seemed that *everyone* who got on the...

Hi Guys, For a putative custom I'm considering, I would like to get hold of an AVP Ancient Asia edition Bio helmet. I'm not nuts enough to expect to get a genuine one but would happily purchase a recast. If anyone has one they'd sell, painted or otherwise, or could suggest where to find one I...

Well, this is a no brainer purchase for me if I can get it for anything like a sane price. Here's hoping for the same sort of trickle-feed that we got with the Guardian Predator last year...

Hmmm. So, in a year's time when they finish the P2 Lost Hunters NECA are going to cease making Predator figures...? Regardless of their current position, I could see the decision being reconsidered if the P2 line sells well.

Since my Predator display is only(!) big enough for 15 figures, and the Predators stuff is piling up, I've decided to clear out the two figures which are closest to duplicates. First up is an AVP Ancient asia edition...
