Hot Toys - Artist Collection - AVP: Samurai Predator 1/6 Scale Collectible Figure

Would be even cooler if the swords ended up being removable, but I doubt it.

Machiko has a removable sword, they can definitely do it, it would be really cool. And for this price, they better do it!

Right. The details/features of the final released product need to justify the already high pricetag.

Now, if only every predator figure would come with an equally detailed base:

Now, if only every predator figure would come with an equally detailed base:

Then you'd need a really big place to display them.

 

[capellamusic]

^^ And a really big bank account to pay for them...

 

[Centurion]

Well, it would be nice if it was at least offered as an 'accessory' for purchase.

Suddenly, this one doesn't seem as appealing anymore:

 

[capellamusic]

^^ it's like a lite version or something...

So what's with the huge stand? Is it to trick people into buying the figure?

 

[Predator1221]

I just had a funny thought. I know everyone on here is likely just as anxious for more pictures and news about the upcoming 1/6 and 1/4 scale predator re-makes as I am. right??? Well I wonder if we may not receive that info until after this guy is released. It would make sense for hot toys to wet our appetite for many many more preds and then pump the breaks as to not steal business from this Samurai Predators release, and perhaps in doing so also encourage more collectors to purchase this figure. Collectors who other wise may have passed on this guy. I don't mean to sound like a wacko conspiracy theorist, but let's face it this isn't hot toys first rodeo. Either way it worked on me b/c this guy and 89 joker will undoubtedly be my next purchase.

 

[edstuff]

I try not to knock on this figure because I actually like it. But 360?! Damn! If I could buy just the figure for a good price I totally would.

The huge stand is for the statue version, right?

 

[vareika]

Yup. The statue / concept base is too sick. Do we even know if the statue version will be available? I think its just a concept and at least initially we'll only get the figure version, which we saw in the prototype pictures.

 

[Centurion]

What!?
So there's a statue version of this figure?

 

[greygoose]

What!?
So there's a statue version of this figure?

I thought it was just a figure?

 

[SpawnFan]

The statue that was referenced is the diorama the Samurai Predator figure is standing on.

 

[Centurion]

OK I see now.
I must get that statue.
Hope they decide to produce these.

 

[MxBxM]

Yeah, the statue base would have been better, and about $300 more.

The problem is they don't offer it for sale.
Offer it as an optional piece that way those who want the figure only don't have to buy something they don't want.

 

[careyb]

The statue may be a concept piece of which the sixth scale figure is based. (who knows?)

Too true.
We may never see this in hand.
