MisterPL Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Yet another set I'll happily pre-order from Luke! And yes, let's offer the pilot and General to wrap up the cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Those are going to be exclusive to TRU, aren't they? Or am I miss-remembering that specialty was taking a break from Predator? And aren't we still missing one of the 4 Predators from Predators? Didn't one have the elephant tusk mask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's awesome that we're getting some recreations of the Kenner line, but some are a bit off. I imagine this mostly has to do with DST not wanting to mold pieces for things that will be potentially reused. Jungle Demon - Not much wrong here, rather spot on recreation Renegade Predator - Not green enough, this figure is a bit too yellow and originally had a blaster and more curved glaive Lava Predator - All of the armor should be red, I applaud the chest tampo here though Nightstorm Predator - This figure is great, but will need the horns added onto his mask Hive Predator - Really well done, albeit his weapon is a bit off Overall I am so stoked we're even getting these figures at all. NECA did great recreations of these figures over the years so it's nice to see another company taking a swing at them! I'll just be modding these slightly! Bring on more EU! I need Scarface and the Dark Blade Clan from Concrete Jungle. I also hope we eventually get to see some AvP waves.

Yeah, the Predator we are missing is the Tracker Predator. He's the one that utilizes the hounds we just got. So I hope he's still being made.

I was surprised we weren't getting Harrigans two cop pals (Leona and Danny) from Predator 2. I figured at least one of them would be in this set. I feel like we could've done with a bloodied Harrigan, Leona and Danny and at least one of the remaining two ship scene Predators. Still, these look great!

You're other observations appear spot on though. This is another assortment I'm looking forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I would do P2 detectives and PS humans before the general and pilot from P1. Thisis wave is exclusive to TRU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Man Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 We're just getting a TRU set this wave, right? I'm wondering about the likelihood of Predator 2 detectives in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffBohn Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Found the Masked Battle-Damaged Predator Vinimate at GameStop today. Not listed on their website but had seen a DST Facebook post about it. Took 4 GameStops, but it was only 6.99 (and not on clearance). Added a couple Valiant t-shirts (Harbinger and Bloodshot) from the clearance rack and those were buy one get one free. Total cost under $14!

M.Spctr Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I'm super hyped for the new wave, and a huge fan in general. The series one blind bags are what got me started collecting. If only we could get a queen Vinimate now, ellipsis ellipsis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cylonchaney Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Would also be useful to display Platoon minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 That does it. My Sgt. Rock is gonna travel through time, pick up the squad from Platoon to form contemporary Easy Company, and help Dutch's crew defeat a party of Predators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NerdyTrev Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Zach, since you guys are moving into the Kenner realm with the Predator variations, what're the odds that we could some Kenner Aliens figures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I believe we still have SEries 4 in the warehouse. And if the COvenant wave does well at TRU and/or specialty, I suppose KEnner ALiens are possible -- not sure what our post-COvenant plans are!
