i just got him yesterday and im impressed with him, only issue i had is his crotch plate hangs uneven will have to tack it up under his belt with some glue, you are right about his leg hip joints they are a bit sloppy.
@dsaillant811 You can get help them move more easily by using a hairdryer or submerging them in boiling water, but be careful. I've never done this with an HT figure since a little force in the right places did the trick.
If you can move a joint but it's simply difficult, I'd say keep it the way it is. If, however, it's impossible to move, only then should you use the methods above.
Good review. If Hot Toys are gonna make remake figures for older models, I hope they all wouldn't be exact replicas so as the older figures can still be bought and sought after. I would hope for a stealth Predator 2 with light-up eyes maybe. Maybe an actual female Pred figure. I know Hot Toys can make a basic figure like that. Give the fans something new!
Nice review you had there....Clear voice and good lightning but it would b good if you zoom more into the figure instead of having us to try so hard to seek for the figure detail, hope you got what i mean, no offense :D
@thedarkknight081 I wouldn't say it's "nothing" like the prototype. People have to understand that pictures are not always the best basis for judging a figure, especially when it comes to color. Here are some newer in-hand pictures from a member on SSF without flash:

nice review. I know you are a predator fan. Are you getting the new samurai predator? I am it looks really cool check it out. I hope you make more vids. It's good to know that there are still true collectos out there.
@214sandro Nah, the Samurai Predator isn't really my cup of tea. More power to anyone who'd like some expanded universe material, but when it's that big a departure from the typical movie designs, I usually pass on it.
@1Whiplasher1 I'll have one up after the Classic Predator arrives. By then, I'll have received all of the figures I've ordered for the holidays and my lines will have reached a complete- and rounded-enough point to include in a video.
I could do one now, but considering that I've gotten into Star Wars and am buying a relatively large amount of Sideshow figures in December (enough to fill at least one level on my shelf), it'd make sense for me to wait until after and have more stuff.
@1Whiplasher1 To answer your second question, I own 13 Hot Toys figures at the moment (including a custom made of authentic HT parts). Over the years I've sold 7 others.
As far as how many figures I own in total from all companies, it's hard to say -- mostly because the price points, scales, and manufacturers are varied enough that I wouldn't know what "counts" to someone asking that question. I'll show everything in my collection video, that's the easiest way to do it.
Cool in depth review man, this is a great looking figure and i'm looking forward to getting this soon. I should have it between Christman & New Years.
when I saw it at the comic con I thought that it was not worth the price of those scums on ebay but I asked to one of the sideshow gays that if they will have in for pre order and they say yes. saw I got mine and is a really cool figures one of my favorites form the new predators, hope they re release the predators from avp with these new bodies.
@AncientPredator1 They're on the horizon. I've got the new packaged images from NECA posted on my channel. For the most part, they're looking pretty darn good for that scale.
Thanks for the review, you helped me to decide not to buy Shadow =P
I don't know if you take any requests, but I'd like to see a review of HT Wolf, in best case both versions in contrast because there are already many reviews of him, but also many sloppy ones.
Because I heared there're still some to get and I'd rather buy figures with character, with story you know ( that's mainly the reason why I'm gonna abandon this one )
The 3 dislikes are completely heartless. A 17 minute review! That must be a lot of efforts. I'm touched.
But I must admit I only watched the first 3 and last 2 minutes. Can't sit here for 17 minutes in one seating to watch a review no matter how good it is.
Ever consider talking about the key points only? For people like me who have no cash and no room to collect these toys, we only want to get a good look at the stuff and know something general.
@himsonli If you have no room nor cash to collect these toys, then these reviews aren't really for you, I'm sorry to say. I'm just going through all of the information and community controversies so potential buyers can make the best decision.
@WarhawkLegend69 That's why it's so awesome! Check out the P1 and P2 screen-used costumes, those things have chunk and it really sells the accuracy and realism of any Predator figure. It's why NECA's 1/4 P1 looks as good as it does.
I do agree that 'Classic' is a must. I bought the 3 "Supers" and received this one as a gift but if one doesn't jump at the chance to get the 'Classic' well...I feel sorry for them.
I would love to see NECA or SSC delve into the novels and comics too and bring some characters from those mediums into the action figure realm. They couldn't loose.
Hey Thank you so much for posting it i just ordered it and im pre ordering the classic its gonna be my first pred do you think its good to be a first pred
@alienizedgodzilla I'm not sure if Shadow would be a good first Predator, but if you plan on continuing with the line, then he's cool.
Classic, on the other hand, is a MUST. I'm really excited to receive and review him. Definitely a great-looking figure, as far as I can tell at this point.
I really wanna grab the elder predator to complete the set of lost predators but seeing as to how hot toys are re-releasing stuff, its really scary to go hunting for the older preds now. Great review though!
@steyfrosty I'm not sure if they'll make any more human characters, since the rest of them don't have too many accessories to really warrant a figure. Could be wrong, though.
I wouldn't pick them up, as I haven't bothered with Royce nor Noland.
i disagree about Hot toys needing to make another Predator 2 city hunter, the original is incredible, it`s pure milk if they do, fair enough for the people who missed it the first time and will get another chance but it does not need to be done, Hot toys should move on. good review on this figure.
Nah Dean, I have the original P2 model kit since the fisrt year it was released and as the whole thing it's bad. I mean sculpted by Pan Mak parts is awesome and Joseph Tsand will newer get even slightly close to this... but the paint apps just awful and body is rubbish. I pray for rereleasd P1 ans P2 coz I love HI-end collectibles and not just somethnig s0/s0 =(
I just received mine yesterday!!! I LOVE it but wished he came with a Plasma cannon and Bio helmet! In regards to the closed mandibles i think he looks like he's going to kick some arse!! Awesome!
