You prolly dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all the new series on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my girlfriend recently :)
Another beautiful figure. You were totally right to redo these reviews, really nice job. Yet another excellent Predator fig I missed out when it was released and now is too expensive to get. Twice I've kicked myself this week. I have issues with Wolf Predator but I think I'd be kicking myself if I missed out on him.
Great work once again Dean! Thanks for all of the additional information surrounding the character and his development. As other have said, there is a lot of potential for a series of films based on this chap. They would make a refreshing change to the trash that is The Predator. If I was to make an objective top 10 Hot Toys list, this piece would feature in it. The level of detail on view here is right up there with BD Robocop. My guess as to why HT's didn't do one seamless sculpt was perhaps because it would have been a lot harder to paint the inside of the mouth if they couldn't detach the mandibles.
speaking from experiance, i think the headsciulpt is multi piece because it would be a hard task to cast something like that in one piece..the tusks would have air bubbles and such..also painting in the mouth would be no picnic..thats why you see alot of hair seams on even human sculpts
Elder Predator is still the best predator ever made, the paints apps on this are the best I've ever seen on any Predator and I feel it will take a lot to beat this one, I will be getting this predator soon on ebay. I saw one for £245 but some sellers want over£300 for it.
@@deanknight333 Ok good deal! I’m going to purchase him tonight. I’m so stoked I’ve wanted to get my hands on a HT Predator for quite some time. Glad this will be my first.
It would be nice if Hot Toys did an updated version of the original Predator, but I'd really like to see them do 2.0 versions of the Big Chap and dog alien. They've really neglected the Alien license.
Fun fact: The Predator's dreadlocks aren't hair. In Predator Strange Roux, a Predator got his dreadlocks shot by a double barrel shotgun. The dreadlocks bleed green. Also, nice Elder Predator figure👍
I bought this day one, it still holds up and it's fantastic. Sadly I would guess Predator much like Alien is going into hiatus for a little while after both having box office failures with Alien Covenant and frankly abysmal The Predator movie. I've been intrigued to see if they'd do an 87 Predator & a Big Chap remake as both have been high on my most wanted Hot Toys figures for a long time now.
Love this, love everything about this, its the holy grail of predators for me, the detail, the paint job, i remember when neca announced the 1/4 elder but so gutted when i saw the reviews, looked like they chucked the paint on, i know theres hell of a price diff but this pred wipes the floor with the neca one, love me some preds, the ones on the screen not the ones that sit next to you in a empty cinema :(
@Lil Gremlin In MOST cases Neca beats HT in almost every aspect when it comes to sculpt and FILM-ACCURACY. I own HT's Elder 2.0 , Classic and City Hunter 2.0 - and I only use City Hunter with a custom made movie-accurate mask (cause default one is Just as terrible as is the face sculpt, so innacurate). ONLY Elder 2.0 is trully accurate to a film, they did a fantastic face resculpt and painting job. But others HTs predator are really bad when it comes to accuracy. Neca on the othee hand - has fantastic accuracy but meh painting. I own Neca Alien Queen (my fav neca model) and Jungle Hunter pred. They are so beautiful
@Lil Gremlin Such a mature reply, sheesh. Basically just proves how you know nothing about Stan Winstons work and what is the "movie-accurate" term. Did you even read what I wrote, clown? I own 3 HTs predators for which I paid full prices in release, but I also own Neca stuff for sculpt accuracy (I dare you to show me a better, more accurate sculpt versior of Neca's Alien Queen or Jungle Hunter pred). And, unlike broke clown like urself, Im not afraid to point out HTs flaws because I can afford to buy peaces from more than one company and I dont go broke after owning one HTs peace. Fucking lol. Go into sideshowfreaks forum (hardcore aliens/pred collectors there) and they will visually show you how innacure HT predators are when it comes to eye positioning and mandables. ELDER 2.0 was an exepction because they RESCULPTED his face to make it movie accurate after the fans saw the first prototype photos of Elder 2.0 - ppl went crazy on HTs and asked to fix it. Now gtfo and dont speak trash about the stuff you dont even understand.
@@Sharp47 Neca also gave us all 7characters from the1at Alien film 79. And about 8 or9characters from Aliens 87 Neca figures are bigger/better when they gave us the ultimate 1:4scale Jungle Hunter City Hunter Greyback/Red Samurai Yautja you can,t them in that scale from HT as HT ain,t gtta clue how to make them in that scale/size
Neca awhile back also gave us a1:4scale Ulitmate Greyback/Neca earlier on this yr gave us a7 or inch Greyback figure with his2LED biomasks which i fucking lov
That is a great figure. They should make a movie just about the Elder and how he got the flintlock.

@Damari Moshe yup, have been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself =)
Cheers for the elder predator link dean for the story behind him. You learn something new everyday.keep up the great reviews
Your review really showed him off beautifully! Nicely done! 👍

I have issues with Wolf Predator but I think I'd be kicking myself if I missed out on him.
Excellent once again good research also he was my first Hot toy still have him also detail is insane in detail
The original costume from the first fim was used to create the elder costume from what i remember thats why its similar
One of my favorites, the “come hither” hand holds the flint lock pistol

correction, samurai predator is the best, then the elder.
Man oh man I just found this guy at a great price… do you still have him? How is he holding up? Great review by the way dude! Love it!
Thanks Andrew. Yeah, it's holding up well mate 👍

Elder 1.0 is really legendary. Wolf however is the worse here. Great job .
Elder predator is my favourite version, I wish I could get my hands on one
The last but one mystery hand is used to hold his pistol
He's very mysterious. Kinda like the Boba Fett of the Predator universe.
Neca awhile back also gave us a1:4scale Ulitmate Greyback/Neca earlier on this yr gave us a7 or inch Greyback figure with his2LED biomasks which i fucking lov
In my opinion the best they made
I only collect Star Wars 1/6. No interest in Marvel stuff. But F me if these predators aren't tempting little buggers. Awesome stuff man.
I really need this figure! He's so expensive now...
Fantastic figure predator is the coolest creature ever !! I just reviewed my 1/1 bust on here !!
Original Predator (MMS90), Classic and Elder are the best Preds HT done.
Pointing hand for the flintlock?
good video please review mr and mrs smith pop toys please
Good
TOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Beautiful figure, great channel. 👍
