Why don't you buy a few of those games when they're cheaper? You can count on the games getting cheaper if you wait, you can't say the same for 1/6 figures.

I still have some hope that this will turn out OK in the end.
The head being as it is at the moment is not really going to be a problem once we have the figure in hand. Classic is incredibly incorrect but it doesnt stop people giving it exceedingly high praises. TBH Ive not read a negative comment about the head sculpt in months. There probably has been somewhere but i must of skimmed and missed them.
I liked Classic's headsculpt from the start, and chose to oversee its flaws (closed mandibles mind you. the open ones were and still are unforgivable). When I got it in hand I proceeded to oversee its flaws once again. Then after a couple months of getting bored with my display I realised that the headsculpt was the problem. No matter how much I tell myself it looks like Classic, the cons just pop out at me.
Now after putting on the BD helmet on, I feel like the display is a whole lot more accurate and fresh. Plus I'm finally satisfied with it.

That's what I was thinking.
I actually thought Classic's headsculpt looked stronger with the open mandibles than with the closed ones. This seems to be the case with the new City Hunter, anyway.

For me the difference is that Classic Predator in the film looked like ____; and I don't mean that in a subjective way. I mean it looked like a cheap halloween mask. Hot Toys knew what the filmmakers were trying to do - recreate the original Predator - so with the figure Hot Toys just did that.
With the city hunter though, they aren't improving upon the creature used on film; they're just being cheap and lazy and recycling an old head sculpt.

I am eagerly awaiting the AVP Preds (Scar, Celtic, Chopper and the 2 Ancients) as I missed all the original releases when they were still being sold at retail prices. I only have the AVP Elder Pred.
Skipping this P2 to cut down on cost as I already have the original P2 BD version.
