Someone expressed a desire for a new thread that gathers all of the most essential information one would need to build any of the many Hot Toys Predators that have been produced. There are already quite a few excellent threads dedicated to HT's Predator lines, but hunting for tips or trying to find specific information about putting them together usually requires sifting through hundreds of posts.
So the purpose of this thread, first and foremost, will be to provide the basic information that anyone new to building these awesome figures will need to help them assemble their Predator/s with complete confidence... without having to spend hours looking for the information in other threads.
Since I've personally built all of the Predators except Ani-Com Scar, and in some cases more than one of each, I thought I'd go ahead and get this thread started. There are many other veteran HT Predator collectors who also have loads of valuable tips and insight to share, so I welcome all who wish to contribute by posting their suggestions here, and I will then compile a list which can be updated periodically with new information and pics.
First of all, there will be a general assembly guide to cover all of the basics, but since there are so many figures out now, it would probably be best to categorize them first into basic groups, "AvP", "Predator 2", "AvP: Requiem", and eventually "Predator". Then each figure can be listed individually, so that we can gather specific information particular to each, as they all have unique characterisics and differences.
Note: This post is just to get things started... I'll edit/delete some or all of it once the lists are set up. After that I'll try to keep all the information gathered updated on this page.
Let's try to keep comments and photos related to assembly, painting and so forth, so we can keep this thread free from general discussion about Predators... please! Thanks everybody!
