fwoosheyman Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Meh. ? really wanted to like this but the trailer is generic and blah as you can get. Kids and "Scientist" Olivia Munn don't give me a lot of hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCW Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 It's almost like they don't realize that the only reason the ONLY good Predator movie worked was because it was the Predator versus a bunch of absolute badasses that in any other movie would have been unstoppable and yet this crazy hunter alien was able to take them out. Predator 2 was okay because it was at the height of Danny Glover's "action" career, but even it was a pale imitation to the original which really set the tone. Everything else has sucked. This looks to continue that trend. It looks like an okay "alien" movie, but doesn't feel like the Predator at all. It's such a shame that this really unique, absolutely awesome creature has been continually watered down in so many bad movies. I guess there's no reviving it at this point. Once Dr. Olivia Munn and the Hardy Boys are fighting the Predator, it's pretty much past the point of no return... Then again it's kinda been that way ever since the "spear" scene.

youbastards Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Shane Black has a solid track record of writing/directing quality films, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Shane Black is the only reason I'd expect think this movie might possibly be decent. The trailer definitely didn't hook me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_CRIPPLER Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Here is the newest trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffBohn Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 So now that we have a glimpse at the new Predator, how long before they lift the embargo on the reveal of merchandise? Beyond the box set, we don’t know of any plans yet. Was there a TRU wave planned? Will it make it out somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Only a box was planned, iirc. Mixed waves are on pause until after the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I hope we get all the cool characters but I suppose DST will still be able to follow up on in-demand characters in the mixed assortments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTiger95 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) NECA showed off their figure for The Predator and they are calling it the Fugitive Predator. Im assuming that's what DST will call it. I guess we'll see them at SDCC? I hope we get a masked head for it as well.

MisterPL Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Unless there's a good possibility for a followup box set or inclusion into a future legacy assortment, I'm all for including masked heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Or they could do five variants like the other Predators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Not sure if DST was actually planning to do another box set but if it includes Edward James Olmos' character, they may want to rethink it since he's been cut from the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or not. When is this boxed set due out again? With an absence of Marvel Animated and Infinity War Series 2 at Walgreens I'm getting itchy for new 'mates.

RedTiger95 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Are these coming near the film release in two weeks? We still have no clue what these look like yet, not sure why the secrecy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffBohn Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 “The first Predator Minimates box set revealed! Casey Bracket, Quinn McKenna, Rory McKenna and Fugitive Predator make up the four-pack, coming this winter to a comic shop near you.” Not what I was expecting. Hopefully this means another box set with the other Predator, Traeger (Brown), Keyes (Busey) and Cole (Key). Or any of the other ‘Looneys.’ Can’t wait for next weekend.

MisterPL Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Hopefully I'll be a lot more excited about this after I see the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I'm going to have to be very excited about the movie to pay $25 for that set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 At the moment, I'm wishing they'd just offered a 4-pack rounding out the remaining 'mates from Predators. Gimme Stans, Mombasa, the Tracker Predator and the captive classic Predator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I get that DST wants to spread things out and do more multipacks from the movie but this is a really boring pack. Hope the movie is good and it sells well enough that we get another pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 A yay shot often helps. What kind of accessories are we getting that aren't already pictured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTiger95 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) There has to be another set, the Ultimate Predator(?) and the hounds seem to good to pass on. Stirling K. Brown's character interests me so him as well. Im hoping for at least an unmasked head for the Fugitive Predator.

MisterPL Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Film reviews are coming in. From what I've read so far, this is the Thor: Ragnarok of the franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
