That is awesome buddy, and one of the best reviews I’ve seen of this piece. I especially love the way you taken the time to go through all the various switch-out’s. Mine is finally coming in January 24. Shipping cost is insane, but after watching all these video’s, I feel will be well worth the wait.
Great review. I have number 158 and to this day is my favorite piece in my collection. I don’t see you can make a better statue. Would love if they did a Wolf Predator.
Awesome piece! Have been debating on getting it myself. Regarding the different helmet, it was the original helmet design that was produced (post entire creature redesign). It was actually made, and you can find a few behind the scenes images featuring it. However it was later redesigned into the more streamlined version we eventually saw in the movie. Their reasoning being that the design was too similar to the predators actual face under the helmet, and they wanted to leave it as ominus as possible until the final reveal. It did later feature in predator 2 however, worn by one of the Predators (nicknamed Guardian, or Gort) towards the end of the movie.
Impressive statue to have. I've got the Jungle Hunter indoors and City Hunter on PO. I'm just waiting on Prime 1 to put up the AVP Scar Predator for pre-order. I'm hoping they do Wolf - AVP Elder and then I'm done 😅
Nice!!! I do not have any others from the Predator line currently on PO, but Scar is on my radar. The base alone on scar looks AMAZING, but man it’s going to take up tons of room 😅
@TopGunCollector Ah ok, you're looking to get Scar, too? Cool. Yeah, his base is sick with the dead Xenomorph and face hugger from the scene in the film. I'm also gonna have to do some rearranging myself to make space 😅
Awesome statue. Way too big and expensive for me. If I could just get 1 it’d be city because I grew up watching that one. Saw the 1st later. You going all in or is he 1 and done? 👊🏼🍺
Hey there again , got a question ..The battery department for the arm light up won't open on my piece is there a special way to open it? instructions are crap..Shows it under the arm next to the switch and I'm missing something? As should be only a magnet holding it on the plate? Thanks let me know tony
You can message me via the TGC Facebook group for pictures, but it’s essentially a small plate under the arm that is attached with 2 magnets. Unfortunately, can’t attach a picture here to show you, but feel free to message me on TGC page-Link is in the description.
Hello... Your figure looks amazing! Can you please share with us the series of numbers that are written below the name ''C E Hooper''? Thank you and best regards.
@@TopGunCollector Great! I was always curious to know all the data contained in the dog tag because they are not clearly visible in the film image. Thank you so much!
Yea, would have love real leather! The pouch is attached to a magnet on the belt, so you may have the belt backwards (I looked at the instructions lol)
@@Slashi85 that would be awesome!!! Longer lasting for sure! lol I would be a bit surprised though, since P1 has been producing statues for 10 years and they’ve never used real leather on any 1/3 piece 🤔

Wow, congratulations! A behemoth of a statue, but one of the BEST statues in my collection. You’re in for a treat.

Yea, it’s hard comparing a piece like this next to a comic book piece. It’s day and nights
Love that look when he’s holding that bloody spine. 🔥
Yea, that's my favorite switch-out from this piece. Looks gory with some amazing paint apps.

Wow, thanks so much for background story! 🙂
And in AVP movie Celtic Predator bio mask was inspired by Gort bio.
Awesome piece congrats 🎉
Where’s the room tour!? 😅
Thanks for watching!!!
I’ll be dropping a room tour in about a month 🙂

Yea, this piece and the remaining predator line take up a TON of real estate. I’m one and done with this one.

Can you please share with us the series of numbers that are written below the name ''C E Hooper''?
Thank you and best regards.
Hi Mark,
The dog tag reads as follows:
C E HOPPER
555 88 2731
A POS
CATHOLIC
@@TopGunCollector Great! I was always curious to know all the data contained in the dog tag because they are not clearly visible in the film image.
Thank you so much!
Can't believe they didn't use real leather? As pleather will fall apart over time.Also why is your pouch on the right side as mine is on the left?
Yea, would have love real leather!
The pouch is attached to a magnet on the belt, so you may have the belt backwards (I looked at the instructions lol)
Oh yea..but actually i like on that side as can see better..
I don't think this is pleather.
@@Slashi85 that would be awesome!!! Longer lasting for sure! lol
I would be a bit surprised though, since P1 has been producing statues for 10 years and they’ve never used real leather on any 1/3 piece 🤔
@@TopGunCollector I mean, I can't say for sure but for me it feels like real leather. Maybe someone with better knowledge can help us out? 😊
