Predator 2: Shadow Predator (2011 Toy Fairs Exclusive)

Ebay then.

Why eBay? I got the Guardian and GM Iron Man from Sideshow. Pretty smooth really, especially IM!


Where do these names like Snake predator come from for Hot Toys to refer to him as Shadow?

 

[Silasya77]

Wait... as nice as that sculpt is, those closed mandibles are kinda' turning me off. Not enough to still not drool over pics, but something I'd note if they're gonna repaint it for Classic.

Sorry, I never realised you could get exclusives through SS.

I think it's a given that Classic's mandibles won't be right.

They'd probably give "classic" different mandibles. Classic Pred doesn't have horns on the lower mandibles.

Heck, if it's a repaint of this sculpt, the face wont be right.

They'd probably give "classic" different mandibles. Classic Pred doesn't have horns on the lower mandibles.

Hopefully.

It's one thing to be inaccurate, it's another thing to use a P2 head for a P1 predator and pretend they're the same thing... HT for sure wont use this head if/when they do a classic.

 

[usswanker]

Thats a pretty bad ass Pred!

 

[capellamusic]

This will look amazing in my Detolf . Now, to buy it... damn... Sideshow + Fedex? I'm doomed... Can't OSB offer a limited stock of these exclusives for european people?

 

[BISHART]

so will sideshow sell this on the site like they did with the iron man?

 

[Jedah Kalm]

I think this looks awesome. If it's available through Sideshow via some late entry kind of thing, and it's no more than $190 than I'm sold.

 

[Boba Ben]

Noboby knows for sure, but these are for the Asian Toy Fairs only from what I've read so far, so they won't be at SDCC or anything. I'd say if you really want one, you could go through Toys2.net or one of the Asian Ebay retailers, but you'll end up paying more. Then again, it seems like a lot of the 10th Anniversary Hot Toys exclusives are now being offered in the U.S., so you never know. Maybe if you wait six months, Sideshow will distribute them.

 

[a-dev]

I'd agree with those who've said he looks a bit boring compared to other predators. I'll still buy him though. Theres nothing really wrong with him, just the most interesting choices except maybe hippie have all been done already.

Hmmm, not sure I can remember my SS priority preorder password if thats the way this ones gonna go.

 

[sixxshooter]

I personally think the paint apps look incredible . Better then anything out right now. And the new body looks realistic .I could care less about articulation in waist. The new predator is going to look fantastic !!

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Consider this guy bought! He looks amazing!

Yeah, I've gotta eat my words. I was a naysayer claiming that another Lost Pred would look silly on the new body when placed next to the older ones, but I can see this fitting right in.

I can't wait for the inevitable pics from people who do have all of the P2 preds so far.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

The paint looks amazing! So glad they did a Snake Predator! Now I kind of wish I had Guardian back.... Okay, feeling's gone.

 

[Violator66]

not my cup of tea easy pass nice fur though...........

 

[VALVOLINER]

Not interested, but.....

-This new body is a clear step forward for a possible classic predator (from predators) or even a predator 2 remake guys!

It's a real shame that HT did'nt keep the old double knee joints... insted those ____ing limited single pin knee joints from predators figures
