MisterPL Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Nor I. Not sure I’d pay double but I’d pay more. With the tariff situation, we’re probably looking at increases anyway unless DST can find a source outside of China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Spctr Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Posting from another source. I think DST would have made a much better Machiko Noguchi than NECA. I'd have bought anything they made, especially comic stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Overall I'm very happy with my Predator mates. I recently raided my Aliens / Predator mates and have enjoyed revisiting them, but there are still a few options from the first movie I'd like to see. Looks like they will be beating this dead horse once again, with Dan Trachtenberg now set to helm a reboot, so if this opens the window for "one last shot," here's what I'd like to see in a 3-set wave or boxed set: 1. Battle-Damaged Blain (aka chest hole) with Plasma Casting Stealth Predator 2. Battle-Damaged Dillon (dismembered arm) with Skinned Corpse 3. a New Dutch Release, with a New Predator Release & spinal column accessory More streamlined and therefore perhaps more achievable would be a box set: Battle-Damaged Blain, Plasma Casting Predator, Battle Damaged Dillon, Dutch Variant, with bonus spinal accessory. In one pack, you'd have the three most prominent/popular human characters and a Predator. In other words: two State Governors, Greef Karga and a hostile alien.

MisterPL Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 It was only a matter of time before Disney decided to start looking for a return on their $72 billion acquisition. Personally I'd love to see DST pick up where it left off. I'm trying to cobble together some more key characters from The Predator. A couple Yautja are notably absent, too. I'm expecting a new film to pull a Disney Star Wars and bring back Schwarzenegger just to play it safe. Maybe they'll drop him off on that game preserve with the armor from the last flick and we'll get a proper sequel to Predators, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cylonchaney Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Arnie in a sequel to Predators might actually work for me. They should ignore The Predator and just pretend it never happened. Even the AvP movies were better than this one IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I think I understand the disdain for The Predator but I enjoyed it. (I feel the same way about Thor: Ragnarok and people loved that flick. ?) If the only thing taken from the last movie is that armored suit, that'd be fine with me. Not sure what Disney has planned for AvP (if anything) but I imagine it falls under the same licensing umbrella now. Even poorly received movies can generate fun toys. Look at Star Wars.

MisterPL Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Not gonna lie: When I see what NECA has done with this franchise compared to DST, I frown a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The water emergence one from the first movie is well done showing the cloaking shield failing. The one figure that really did make me smile is one of the blacked out silhouette ones. Ultimate Warrior Predator, I know its nothing to do with wrestling but as soon as i read it I couldn't help imagining one of those figures with bright purple, orange etc paint work WWF style. It really did make me grin. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I wonder if DST might be interested in offering Minimates based on the upcoming Prey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I recently learned that not only were Schwarzenegger and Ventura governors, but Sonny Landham (who played Billy) also ran in a primary for a Kentucky gubernatorial election. Shane Black or Carl Weathers need to run for office, and keep the streak alive. I'll also take this time to campaign for a new/final/commemorative box set, with "a Dutch" variant, a chest-hole Blain, an arm-rip Dillon, and a plasma-casting Predator with spinal column accessory.

THE_CRIPPLER Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I would love to see them do a reboot of the Predator minimates. This time give them sculpted mandibles and longer dreads to look more movie accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE_CRIPPLER Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 How about a set from the new Predator movie (Prey) coming out next month? A four pack would be great. Plus I really just want a whole reboot like I mentioned earlier in this thread. Fully sculpted mandibles and longer dreads on the Predators would look fantastic. Mezco did it with their Predator Mez-its so I don't see why DST couldn't have also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhonez Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 It was good, I was surprised. And the Predator had so many toys at his disposal. If I had a nit to pick, it would be with the very poor bear CGI. They should have just done stop motion animation with the Tekken Kuma MiniMate.
