Hot Toys Classic Predator from predators movie.

If you are referring to my post above yours, all of the Super Preds were 14", and the Classic is advertised to be 14" in the production run.

If you are NOT referring to my post, then my mistake, but I have no way of knowing since you quoted no one :)

I wasn't but now that you say something, I'm kind of disappointed that its not 13" but its a kick ass figure ether way
 
How does flexpay work you guys?

Do they take out 70 right away?

Thanks for help on this one, im trying to see if i can get the shadow and classic a.s.a.p
 
I thought the same to sell my P1 but on ebay they dropped alot due to the classic coming out.I was thinking to put the new head on my old P1 if it fits, as a whole the predators look great short or not, he bends in the torso and he looks great.I have been reading the hate of the hot toys P1 and i think we as collectors have gotten very picky.Not you hunter's im referring to the freaks
i agree perhaps we/they have gotten a bit picky, but i certainly didn't mean to dis the HT P1 too much, i love mine, added some custom elements, some quills, expanded the base, the P1 is damn near my favorite next to my custom losties.
just due to his slightly smaller stature i have tended to display him solo (on his own little shelf) mainly cause of how big i made his base, but two, drove me nuts him being shorter than the rest, cause to me he is superior to the rest (besides the elder) and not to say he couldn't be shorter and superior, i just, i dunno... tis just me i suppose...

but as far as the ebay sale, that sucks, i was kinda afraid of that, but on the other hand, there are plenty of collectors who would buy not based on appearance, but just the fact that it is what it is, HT's original (ex. in this case) P1. they're still worth some dough :) but i'm not greedy, as long as i broke slightly above even i'd be fine. that's the beauty of HT figs, you'll certainly without a doubt get at least the sticker price for em, but usually more.

i've found patience is the best method when buying or selling on ebay.... you can almost always come out ahead if you are patient.

i once upon a time got a NIB chopper for 215, got a celtic for just under 300 and this was not too long ago, just gotta wait for the right moment to strike!

but sorry, now back to the discussion of how cool this new P1 is.

i do believe, and it depends on how many "installments" you have to make but, let's say something is 300, you have to make 3 payments and it comes out in six months. in most cases in three months from now, they'd take the first payment, a month later the next, and in another month the last, or perhaps when it comes in the last but still

to answer clearly, no they should not take it out right away unless the fig is coming out soon enough to have to take the first payment, they'll tell you in the description if an immediate (down) payment must be made, hope this helps bro.

Depends on the price of the item is correct. I ordered the Tracker and it came out in 2-$70+ installments then the last one was $90+. :)

My feelings exactly with every thing you said!! I do feel that most hot toys predators are very cool short or 14", I get the short P1 thing but if u line them up together hes taller than a human 12" so i never though about it until i read the discussion on posts , i have owned the P1 already for a couple of years.I honestly didnt even know there was a debate about it.So to my surprise i was kind of sad they didnt just see a bad ass figure, i mean i only had the lost predator and the P1 and would look at them and think "F^&K Yeah there awesome!
I was thinking in tribe terms the classic with the P1 and the pred crew around {plus the peeps who dont have them and see the pics we post} go "WOW AMAZING".

Yes very helpful ,thank you .I think hes the first flexpay predator only because of the super pred skull.Im afraid to miss out and as we all know the ex classic will be on ebay for 50$++ more.Not Wizard!!!

I was worried about the first payment mainly, i have to wait till i get paid and hoped it would'nt sell out.I dont think it would but without the skull its the same price is what gets me.But good to know i will be prepare for the 90 bones at the end just in case.Thanks brosive.
 
This pales in comparison to the 1:4 NECA version...

I was admiring this new product when I stumbled upon this post, and I have to agree. NECA really set the bar up high, add the much lower price of NECA's product and it's unbeatable. ...but anyway, if I had the loot, I'd wrestle with the idea of getting this as my first HT purchase.

as far as getting down to actual shape and accuracy of the original, neca definitely nailed it in a way i don't think HT could due to the kind of figure it is, but lets at least face the fact that as far as the dynamic of pose that could be achieved with this figure vs. neca's, i'm sorry but as accurate a sculpt as neca's is, and even though they damn near have as many articulation points, nowhere near as pose-able.

HT is selling display options at this point...

Bensin im a Hot toy pred fan and have the neca stuff too, so take this for a grain of salt if you will.My 1/4 predator is amazing , he towers over everything for 70$ bones.But he is very limited with the weight and what he can do, i look at him and see a statue with netting.So i think it depends on the collector because im not a statue guy or i would own Narin's stuff over the 1/4 predator in a heart beat.I love figures and you cant do this

without him having a back ache because he cant bend.
 
I like both, but I have to admit that Neca's go a looong way in terms of price/quality ratio.

That being said, while the neca pieces are fine, they lack the statue- feel HT does bring to the table.

For fellow hunters in the UK/EU region: forbiddenppanet.co.uk has them on pre-order for £150, no exclusive though.
 
I agree as well, there is only so much you can do with the NECA figures articulation, it would be nice to be able to make it look like he is about to set his wrist bracer on self-destruct. Not to mention the whole variant thing, I could buy this fig and get closed and open mandibles along with two masks for about $200 but if I bought all three 1/4 NECA figures I would have to pay almost the same thing but with less articulation and not as much accessories.

Exactly! Well said! B)
 
Yeah that is a good point with price and size, i guess it depends on the person.I love to pose my predators but im not messing with the 18" neca predator they fall way to easy
