Hot Toys - MMS173 - Predator 2: 1/6th scale City Hunter Predator Collectible Figure

It's sad that it doesn't have anything to do with how HT has done it with that pole thing. Not sure why they couldn't make it that way...

Still, I'm not too disapointed with the figure, I like it, but still I feel a bit disapointed with some things.

That brown pole is SO, SO, SO awful...just doesn't fit that figure at all. Looks like they were confused how to attach the cannon and used some LEGO to fix it in place.

Looks like it has the same paint issues a s several other HT figures. With the, pixel-like paint used on the black parts of the forehead

but still I feel a bit disapointed with some things.

Like them sticking an ugly brown pole on the figure.

I think they nailed to character essence of the "Scar" Predator. Especially the open mandibles (looks cheap and animatronic just like the movie). Unfortunately I do not see the "City Hunter" in this face sculpt. I think "Beserkers" body paint job is the best so far. So much Bang for your Buck!! Ofcourse it is the source material.

Yes...

Yes...

I wish I hadn't looked at the pole now. It's horrible.

You guys are absolutely right about the plasma caster. I can not believe they did nothing to improve it. Overall though I'm still impressed enough to pick this guy up, only I will wait for his price to drop as low as possible. given the skepticism this figure has already been met with I'm certain it will be easy to pick him up for under $200 soon.

Me too... it looks absolutely terrible... out of place... I'm going to have to try to modify that...

Yeah, no way will it sell out. They never do anymore.

I'm sure we will see lots of mods done to this figure.

Maybe Samurai will sell out since it's a unique design not prone to be remade, but I'm not following the sales, so I don't know, but damn do I love mine!

I'm looking forward to see what people will come up with to modify the cannon attachment, I'm still unsure what can I do to make it correct.

a couple of in hand pictures from toy world HK. There is more so if you wish to see more give it a visit. But i liked these

I know its not a work of art or re-inventing the wheel but i think its a damn nice looking Predator.

I must admit this figure does look great compared to Berserker and classic. I'm pretty sure these are the main two predators most collectors were intending on posing this guy next to.

The only thing that really really bugs me with this figure is that left elbow joint. It just looks super weird in every picture I have seen.

Dammit... once seen cannot be unseen... that... the damn pole...oh god why...

At first I thought it was because they were not pushing the arm peg in all the way. But it's the same in every photo.

The cannon is an incredibly easy fix for anyone willing to mod this guy. As it is I have seen a production still that looked a lot like how it is now. But regardless if it is movie accurate or not, the brown pole looks like **** and I will be removing it from mine. Movie accurate is not always better, just look at scars face

but that ridiculous pole is the worst of all the problems, it's completely out of place.
