Hot Toys - MMS130 - Predators: Berserker Predator (Full Spec & Pics)

[azurepred]

Mine looks pretty bad. Oh well.... ____ it.

mine looks like that too, i dont see how that looks like crap. It seems everyone's has a similar look.

Mines the same but I maintain my view that it doesn't look all that abnormal. The scratches are simply revealing an underlayer of paint thats the same as is between all the scales while not disrupting the red or green to any significant extent. And since everyone's has it I'm even less bothered by it.

Looking at the pics, I almost get the feeling the scratched paint was intentionally done maybe to kinda blend in or something but was sloppily executed.

Don't think so. Each "scale" should be filled in fully. It was on the prototype.

if you have the expectations of a production piece looking like the prototype in terms of quality paint app, your dreamin man.

The Hot Toys site? Yeah, stay away. I had to reinstall my laptop after trying to access it.

Honestly, I think I can see some of the same not-totally-filled-in spots on that proto pic . . .

I'm just pointing out that the spotty paint application is not a feature, it's a flaw.

Mine is like that too... I dont mind I kind of think there supposed to be like scars... I could be way off...

I agree. Hoping to get mine next week and hoping that its free of this "spotty paint application"

Perhaps but if you look at the red scales at the bottom of his torso, some of the light green kinda shows through. No much and it looks natural on the proto but obviously on the final product it didn't turn out as great.

The paint on the scaling on my Berserker doesn't look as bad as this?? Mine was one of the very first batches sent out to VIP customers...maybe there was a slight difference?

Yeah, I do think they got sloppier as they went along; looking back at OMG's photos, his isn't nearly as bad as those of us who got our figures in the past couple of weeks.

i have berserkers from about 2-3 days after it was released and they didint have the red scale problems but the latest ones that i aquired they all have the red paint problem , so maybe they rushed out on production who knows

Doesn't bother me.

I ordered a few Berserker bodies and all of them have the paint pealing around the chest area. It appears that the paint doesn't bond with the body very well. I noticed the paint is pealing off of the neck joint, chest, and elbow joint in particular. All the bodies show signs of this happening.

We only paid around $200 for it, it's okay if it will be ruined within a year.

 

[a-dev]

I've assumed that the scratched paint is something that would have occurred during production but if its actively being peeled off as I touch it then yes that will p!$$ me off.

Hi,

First time poster but long time lurker. I recently bought the Berserker Predator and it's my first Hot Toys figure and I'm really impressed with it. I usually stick to building Gundam models but after lurking in this forum for a while I decided to get one. Below are a few pics and a video of my first and but definitely not last Hot Toys figure. More pics and vids here.

Welcome to the forum Otaku Surf. Those are awesome pics. What an amazing view.

 

[Furious1]

Yes, that first shot is awesome...perhaps a view of the other side of the planet in the movie...

 

[greygoose]

Top photos and welcome

 

[Hex]

It's not bad really...

It looks just like the prop to me...

 

[Hex]

Here's mine - LED works perfectly, no problems at all with this awesome figure!

ZOMG! Great pics!
