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

[predarnold]

People keep bringing up the elbow issue. I've answered it a couple times but have fallen on deaf ears so here's some pics:

That's it fully plugged in. If it bugs you, you'll just have to get used to it.

that is not a movie shot.
that's an advertising picture of the suit.
actual movie length (& shape as there were words about straight or bent shape):

Damn you are quick!

Was just watching through Predator 2 to find the blade lengths...

Ok, Spanbauer was right about the blades not extending super long, but you are right about them extending...

By the looks of the blades, the extend straight.

Hot Toys made them curve to probably just to 'stylize' the blades...

Damn you are quick!

can't stand mistakes about predators

Iono, maybe I simply dislike it more in person. Something about holding the thing in your hand makes it less tolerable.

To be honest I'm really dissappointed with the figure now I have him. The posing issues with the lack of left hand to hold the spine or spear are one thing but then you think about changing the figure and you can't really because it looks awful unmasked. The body colour looks off now too that I am seeing him in daylight.

just got my city hunter today
quite a few issues that i have
1. lack of left hands causing the posing issue, i was expecting a left hand that can hold the spine
2. its really hard to put on the mask on the city hunter, i pushed so hard to put the mask on
3. the left elbow problem that everybody has
4. the wrist blade is too tight, too hard to pull it out and back on
5. the paint job on the body (not accurate)
6. both the net cowling and the disc fall off easily
7. the spear.....really tight on one side and really loose on the other side

Sadly I agree.

Question, would the shadow predators hands work with this guy, I mean they should right, there basically the same color and body for the most part, What do you guys think?

the color of the shadow's hands are actually darker than the city hunter's hands, also the brass knuckles of the shadow's hands are black and the city hunter hands are brown

Oh ok, worth a shot I thought. I will be receiving mine a day before my birthday so happy birthday to me Though I'm getting concerned with all the negitive feedback on this guy I may have made a poor choice in purchesing him

Hmmm having now seen the opinions of both hardcores and moderates, I'm not feeling much of an urge to buy this figure. And I'm glad for it because theres just too much other stuff I want.

If you compare the dreads on the figure to shots of the real deal, the length is pretty much bang on.

Seems no one is posing him with the dreads out over the shoulders. The Dreads on the old pred are too poofy and maybe a tad too long.

I am happy I went with my initial decision not to make the purchase. I haven't felt this figure from prototype to in hand pictures/reviews.

But unlike you there is nothing out there I want. What I want is Batman Returns so I will continue to.....

Back to the dreads, I don't think mine are torn. I think it's just some of the edge of the dread is not glued on the head. If you lightly press down on the end of the dread connected to the head, do you see that the outer edge isn't completely glued on?

I'm trying to gauge whether or not this is a problem that I need to address for a replacement.

I think exactly the same as your.................

I think exactly the same as your.................

Most of them are cosmetic issues too and have nothing to do with accuracy issues. Hot Toys really let P2 fans and themselves down on this one.

Hopefully future releases don't feel as rushed and half hearted.

Ahh yes, looks good.

If thats the case then no sweat, luckily its just that and no paint scrapes or anything more major like that.

Yeah, I'm starting to think that maybe there's a nub at the end of the dread that sits deeper into the head and gets the majority of the glue. I think I may be okay.
