Mysterious Stranger Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I love how these translucent and clear figures come out. I'm thinking of getting a small artist lightbox to use as a pedestal to display them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of getting a small artist lightbox to use as a pedestal to display them on. This one was just back-lit, but often, I'll use a small stick-on light that runs on a few batteries. The lens is usually close to the size of a Minimates stand. Buttons on the front/top make it easy on, easy off. These also work for boot-jet effects. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Amerelle-Light-N-Up-Stick-On-Lights-Includes-Batteries-75201/100645886?MERCH=REC-_-PIPHorizontal1_rr-_-100645888-_-100645886-_-N Although I have also used a Star Trek transporter pad, below, which plays the sound effect every time you push the button: Edited December 29, 2016 by DSTZach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Those LED lights are nice and exactly what I was wanting, I just haven't seen any with a flat lens like that, they're usually a little curved. I'll have to check Home Depot for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Those look better than the ones I have, which have smaller lenses. But I got mine at Home Depot or Lowe's. Here's one of mine: Edited December 29, 2016 by DSTZach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloDelorean Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) That Predator Hound looks fantastic! I'd be interested to see what skin tone Isabelle will have. If I can use her head for my Kitty Pryde QC, I'll likely pick up that set, despite having never seen a Predator movie. Detective Lambert looks nice too, especially for a civilian minimate.

DSTZach Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Holy cow, see a Predator movie. Predator, Predator 2, Predators, all are great in their own ways. I cannot really comment on AVP or AVP Requiem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017  These are pretty friggin' awesome. Even more so simply because they're not blind-bagged. Nice assortment, DST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedTiger95 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Those look great. No other company will make Anna, so it's cool to have the full cast made for display. I'm guessing TRU will have the Tracker Predator to go with the hound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Dude. That hound is awesome! So cool. And Hudson's ancestor Lambert! If only the Terminator line had included the blue-mohawked punk, we'd have the trifecta of dead Paxtons... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) How many hounds were in the movie? Three? I haven't watched it in a while. Whatever the number is I don't need any more than that plus one for possible future customizing. Lambert, Isabelle, Anna, Poncho... man this line just keeps hitting all the right notes. Now, speculation on the TRU assortment? The info on actionfigureinsider says each of these 2-packs contains a figure not available anywhere else. I'd guess the Hound is going to TRU as well, just to make up some of the tooling costs. The others though... Anna is for sure exclusive to specialty. Lambert and Poncho and one of the Preds as the other carryovers? Or all the Preds are carryovers and we get some new humans and other Preds at TRU.

SCW Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 You guys should make that voodoo drug dealer guy from Predator 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Only the Hound will be shared. TRU will have: Hanzo/Hound (Predators) Guardian/Snake (Predator 2) Stalker/Scout (Predator 2) Hopefully we can revisit Predators at a later date. I still want a few humans AND predators.

elhonez Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Yeah, there are exactly 3 Predators 2-packs I'd want: Mombasa / Tracker Stans / Cloaked Tracker Nikolai / "River Ghost" alien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhonez Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Oh yeah! I had forgotten that Cottonmouth was in that set, not Diamondback. Mombasa QC it is, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdubya Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Awesome asst.s!  Predator looks complete, now we just need: Nikolai, Stans, Mombassa, Tracker and masked Beserker from Predators. Predator 2 still needs Lost and Boar Pred.s, Leona, perhaps Danny. A King Willie and skinned- corpse would be cool, too! Any chance for a deluxe "trophy wall"?

elhonez Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Danny, Leona, Garber and King Willie would do it for me re: the humans of Pred2. And yeah Boar and Lost are musts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffBohn Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) After catching the end of Predator, I kind of want a General Phillips just so we have every one of the named cast! Edited April 9, 2017 by JeffBohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
