Hot Toys Falconer Predator Figure (now with full spec and pics)

[Centurion]

Sounds like a conspiracy theory. Watch out for the guy on the grass knoll.

I'm always skeptical of his kind.

That's a good possibility, but the implementation of the falcon suggests otherwise:

- Why not have the wings fold back? HT could have used a simple hinge to have the wings of the falcon articulate and fold back.

- Why isn't there a way to allow docking of the falcon on Falconer's shoulder? Both figures may be using the same left shoulder armor but HT was able to create a mount for Berserker's plasma caster.

- Why does the packaging have the falcon sitting right on top in its own tray, stickered to the main tray, instead of inside the package with everything else? If the falcon's tray wasn't there, you wouldn't even notice.

All three questions have the same answer...there wasn't enough time.

I don't sculpt or paint. But in the hands of an experienced artist and for those doing it as a full-time job, I'd imagine the falcon we currently have could be created in less than a week.

Mine fits fine in my detolf. I had to rotate the clear rod a little,
but it doesn't look bad to me.

Like the skull you added to Berserkers Bio.

That's what I thought. I guess we will never know though.

Added to the figure in a rush, too much money for overhaul changes once in prod, the end.

Hot toys still sells figure, they make money, you, me and every collector bent

Such is life.

Goodbye.

Question for those who manned up and put a face on their Falconer: Did you leave the red from the 'serker sculpt or not? I'm currently working on mine and have done a little apoxie sculpt modification as well. However, I've seen a couple of the faces in this thread and I think they all kept the bright red of the berserker. Is there a reason for that? I mean, I understood berserker having red on his head because he had it else where on his body. For Falconer to have it seems kinda out of place IMHO...
Thoughts...

^^^ I thought the same thing and that they look like twins next each other without masks...

Simple Solution To Mount Your Falcon on The Falconer Predator

Get a pack of these magnets at Michaels Arts & Crafts

Put Magnet in the hole on his shoulder (perfect fit)

Get a Drywall screw

Cut it just below the threads

Put the screw head in the falcons hole (won't damage , perfect fit)

And BAM !!! easy , effective cheap solution to the stupid translucent rod

 

[Mr. EcKo]

THIS WAS BEFORE THE MOD

 

[HottoyzJoker]

^^^ Cool ideal like my ideal of the Falcone sitting in his hand better though...

 

[toylion]

Great mod. But does his head has to stay to the side?

No it moves , i just posed him like that , kinda like a Michael Myers Head tilt

 

[Centurion]

Mr.Ecko, very creative solution and implemented well because you were able to find the perfect magnet size.

I lucked out that i bought the magnets about a month ago for another project , an it just happened to be a perfect fit . Thanks for the comment buddy i appreciate it

I'm going to have to use the magnet trick, when I get my Falconer. Will the falcon have room on his shoulder without tilting his head though?

Took a few more pics earlier today:

Yes there is plenty of range for movement

 

[Spiderwebb13]

Nice pics, really like that first one.

 

[915stag51]

[toylion]

Damn you Mr. EcKo I wasn't going to buy this one. Know you got me thinking about it.
