I have cloaked City Hunter (from #2) and the 100th (Alpha, 1st predator). I have on order (BBTS) the Elder (from #2) and Lasershot. I did not have the original Lasershot, but I had another and love the idea of one of the Kenner designs in that scale. If I could spare the money (it would be thousands at this point) and space (which I can't) I'd have them all. They're great figures, though they don't stand great.
I added them to the My Collection forum at the Green Lantern Corps Message Board, but for some reason it appears to be there but not showing up as new.
I saw the first PREDATOR movie when I was 7-8 years old! At first I was a little scared, but my father explained to me what was the matter with that predator and I continued to watch the other movies, I started to learn about well, and in 2019-2020 I received my first PREDATOR figure (EMISSARY PREDATOR 1), after which in 2023 I received another one (BATTLE DAMAGED CITY HUNTER ULTIMATE EDITION! And before you say something: It was my father's fault:))) But I thank him for teaching me about them (AND ALIENS) BUT I LIKE PREDATORS MORE!
Its weird I have a Celtic and Scar Predator literally exposed to the same environment both in a case and both exposed to the same amount to lit. And the Celtic has flaking but Scar does not. Makes no sense.
I'm very sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, degradation seems to run through the HT line with several figures. At least you have one that is still intact.
Very nice review thanks. I can get one for $300 boxed but i,m in doubt because of the pleather issues. Is there a way to fix that when things go wrong? In other ways is it worth buying? I know Berserker is going Berserk in price,like 5 to 700$.
I've heard of people replacing the pleather, which seems inevitable if you want the figure to be accurate. The only other area of concern is the rubber on the Predlocks. I'm not sure how those will hold up in 20 years.
I had to scrap all of my plether off, and i re painted them with fake looking leather paint. Came out just fine. I'm not sure if you have done this yet. I know the video is old
@@somersfamily That's a smart move. I haven't tried anything like that because I feel like any premium collectible should also be durable. Unfortunately, this isn't the only HT Predator figure with serious degradation issues.
@@emeraldenthusiastoh I know😂 my Eric Draven fell apart like you won't believe I really wish they would just charge a little bit extra and start using leather all the time. For what they charge pretty stickers they need to be making them last a lot longer
Cool. I’e never had a Hot Toys figure, but I have two of NECA’s Predators and two more on pre-order because I also love the franchise
EXCELLENT! I found an Ultimate Ahab Neca Predator figure today, so that one will be reviewed in the near future.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the review. I have a Predator playlist if you're interested in more Hot Toys/Neca reviews.
Man I still wish I had this figure
Cool review
@@FallenAngels1994-u2u It's certainly not easy to find at an affordable price these days. I subbed your channel.
@@emeraldenthusiast thanks for subscribing also yeah I found one but it was like 500$ so really am just saving up money

It's worth it! It just be careful of the leather and maybe try replacing them the details on that figure is 10/10
