Kostisfire Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 It's metallic/gunmetal grey, isn't it? I admit I've never seen Pred 1&2 (only Predators), so I haven't seen it in action. Even then, the breather should have a different colour than the skin, otherwise it looks like it's part of the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnim zola Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 breather is actually the color of the skin, but with more copper. Predators have admitted in galactic interviews that fashion is not their forte` Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I like the masked Predators but I'll have to wait and see what the actual finished product looks like for the unmasked. The early photshopped pictures never look as good and the colors are always off some. oh boy another Topher Grace minimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mnemosis Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm with Fwoosheyman. Masked for sure. Unmasked... maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI_MYTE Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Now let's assume for a minute that the follow up release to the blind bag assortment will be a wave of 2-packs (it could be boxed sets, but only DST knows for sure). How would you, the collector, like to see this wave executed? Would you like a mix of 4 pairs of mates from each of the 3 Predator movies or would you rather one wave / one movie?

homestar17 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Danny Trejo!! Looks like he should be easy to grab an extra & mod into Bubble Boy DT! Also... I get a whole "lady vibe" from the thermal one (maybe cuz the head is slightly slimmer than the others). And J, your twitter response made me spit soda!

toy showdown Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Isn't thermal just a repaint of masked jungle? I'm definitely supporting this so we can get staff and discs and trophy wall pieces packed into series 2. I love the NECA versions and their accessories but they take up so much space.

NerdyTrev Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Let me just say that these look fantastic! I really like the whole 'Legacy' line up where it isn't just characters from the first Lredator, but it's a series of Predators from different films of the series as well as other humans from the different films. I can't wait to get my first predator and have him hunt down a ruthless Xenomorph! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Pablumo Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 http://www.toychestnews.com/Home/1/1/4/678?articleID=162499 The first wave of blind bags are here. Super excited, really glad with how they turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I have a question for the hardcore Predator fans. If I have multiples of the exact same Predator in the exact same armor, could you use that as an army builder, or does each individual Predator have a specific look?

karamazov80 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't consider myself a hardcore fan, but I can say that most of the Predators are different from one another. I believe some do share the same armor more or less, though. Here are some shots of the guys from the end of Predator 2: "Classic" Predator from Predators is only slightly different from the original Predator. Having said that, no reason you can't army build them to your heart's content if that's what you want to do.

TheAnvil Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Probably only going to get Billy and the Predator from the first, how come there's no Arnie or Jesse . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I see, I appreciate your info, most of my knowledge about the variety of Predators is how many different versions that NECA has been able to put out. So I wasn't sure if there was a standard look or if they were all very different. Probably only going to get Billy and the Predator from the first, how come there's no Arnie or Jesse . I believe Zach has confirmed that Dutch at least is definitely coming, so he will be along in some form or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have multiples of the exact same Predator in the exact same armor, could you use that as an army builder, or does each individual Predator have a specific look? Well, if you go by some of the "mythology" from the graphic novels, each Clan tends to wear similar armor, so yes, you would have many Preds looking the same (or similar). The movies were not like this. In Predator 2, we see a group of Preds on a hunting trip and most of the armor and all of the helmets were different. Even in K80s images, you can see similarities in the armors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Ehhhh, I'm not sure how I feel about these. They don't look quite right to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I love them. Without sculpted mandibles, they retain the Minimate style yet have enough detail that you know they are Predators. The stealth mode Predator is awesome, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst case scenario, you'll end up having to switch up the armor between the different color pallets of the figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 The thermal Predator really needs fluorescent paint. I want to see that one glow under a black light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 These look great! In fact, they look better than I expected them to, but I'm disappointed that characters I want are being offered via blind bag. That kind of turns me off of line in general. I've got no interest in Danny Trejo and whoever the other guy is, and I can't imagine that the predators from 1 and 2 won't see some kind of release in whatever follow-up we get, and I'm not sure I need each of their costume changes. So there's one figure here that I want- Billy. I would probably pick up some of the predators if I saw them at an LCS, but that'll never happen. So even though these look good, DST hasn't really sold me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
