AceSimba Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 zach have you seen a spine accessory for these? and if you've seen em will they be sculpted or will the spines be able to plug into any head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubya Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Hmmm, while I still think sculpted mandibles are the way to go, I can understand wanting to reduce the amount of toolings (even if they could be reused multple times for Lost Clan, etc.). The profile may look odd, but I suspect a brow-forehead/dread cap will suffice. However won't each mask variation require separate toolings, or are the plans to utilize one headsculpt with the unique masks being separate pieces? That could be a cool way to kill two birds with one stone if done right. Just a suggestion! I was hoping for essentially a helmet piece where the dreads and mandibles were sculpted but the eyes and mouth would be a tampo, so I'm a little worried about the whole face being a tampo. I guess we'll see how it looks.That was how I imagined them, but it may still work. We'll see. I'm more concerned with sculpted details and overall silhouette (stature, proportions, etc.). If they put as much care into these as with the Alien/s Xenos (despite slight inaccuracies), I think we're in for a treat!

Shogi Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I may not like every single different Predator, but as long as there's a basic movie Predator with sculpted mask, I'm in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_CRIPPLER Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 So any idea on when we will be seeing pics of these Zach? The wait is killing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricM Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 After getting the Aliens Minimates, I was thinking how cool it would be to get Predator mates. And since I've gotten some colonial marines I totally want Dutch and his team from Predator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious Stranger Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Mid April? So in next months Previews catalog or just reveal pics from you directly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 So I finally got around to watching Predators and other than that Machete guy, there's not really anything from that movie that I'd like to be seen done. Does this license cover just the original movie or the two sequels and the AVP stuff too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregio Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) I saw them in the Toy Fair. The mandibles are just tampo the head is sculped on top giving the a more round read with the sculped dreads. The heads with masks are totally sculped. From what I talked with Zach, the license didn't include AvP neither the comic books, just the movies. All three. There in the Fair they showed a few characters from every movie. Dutch (2 versions), Billie and Dillon from the firsts (among with two different versions of the Predator), City Hunter and Harrigan from second and Edwin and Cuchillo from Predators. No super predators showed. For now. Edited March 22, 2015 by Gregio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 No AVP. Yes Predators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 So they can do Aliens and Predator but not AVP? Interesting. I'm gonna have to keep my Predators separated from my Aliens on my shelf then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubya Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I actually hope the success of both Aliens and Predator lines leads to an eventual merger. Say what you will about the quality of the AVP films, but there were some great creature designs. Wolf is possibly the most bad-assed Yautja despite starring in the worst film in the franchise! No humans necessary other than maybe the lead female from AVP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAnvil Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I hope Jesse Ventura (Blaine) gets one!I'll get any Predator 1 'Mates, but probably won't endeavour into the other films as I never enjoyed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Not even any of the Predators? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAnvil Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Not even any of the Predators? Hmm, I should probably give the other films another watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hailtotheking Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 So for Predators, not counting the different variants (invisible/battle damaged) we could get Jungle Predator (Predator)The Lost Tribe Members: City Hunter, Elder, Boar, Borg, Snake, Shaman, Gort/Guardian, Stalker, Warrior, Scout (Predator 2) Captured Jungle Predator (Predators) The Wolf Predators: Berserker, Falcon, Tracker (Predators) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregio Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 In the Toy Fair they showed a battle damage version for city hunter and a infrared vision version for jungle besides masked and unmasked versions of them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
