I need some help, what do you guys think about the Hot Toys Elder Predator from AVP??? Because i found the way to buy it, but it costs US$250 :-\ Those who have the figure maybe can help me? Thanks
I read you're from Uruguay, right? I'm from Argentina.
Just saying hey. ;D
I used to live in Uruguay so I know it's difficult to come by with these sort of merchandise; it's a little easier in Argentina, but it's still difficult (and expensive :P )
Yes i know, i allways go to bsas, "camelot comics" :o :o i have a friend here that have a contact in US and thats the way i get this things, but they are really expensive finally i ordered the Hot Toys Elder Predator 8) i watched a video in youtube and i was impresed

They ship worldwide, I don't know how much would they charge exactly but it should definetely be cheaper than $250.00

It's OK for the price tag I guess, I liked it until Hot Toys released theirs!! 8)
I used to like McToys a lot, but the quality just keeps getting worse and worse, and AVP figures suffered a lot from that, but they're cheap, so depends on how much money you want to spend I guess.

Can win one here.
I pretty much won the thing, but I couldnt get the "Why arnold didnt get P2"...he's gonna draw anyway, so its fair.
...lol You won the thing? It's still got 'till the 10th of September man. I'm sure it'll be a draw. The questions weren't that hard. :P
No good sir, I believe I won... It was a fun quiz!
I knew the answer to the bonus question in a snap! The only hard question was the one about the pistol from P2.
I do hope I win this!
Never! I WON!
i´ll win ;D
How bout... We all win?
We can split the pieces between us all!
I call the head!
I need some help here, yesterday i recived my first hot toys figure the avp elder predator, after an hour of putting it together i was going to put the head on but I CAN`T DO IT!!!!! is there some special trick to put the head on? dont know...im desperate :'(
Theres a couple things you can do. I just got my elder a week ago ;) . First, you can try a blow-dryer to make the neck softer, or, what I did (because the blowdry technique can cause meltage on dreads) take some tweezers or somthin and look inside the neck (the part attatched to the head) theres like a hard-rubber ring inside the rim. Pull it out (kinda hard) then you can get it on the body-neck pretty easy. Then stick the head back on to that. Use a bit of super glue to make sure it stays there though. Thats what I did. (but make sure the glue is only on the ring-inside of the head, so you don't accidentaly glue it to where you cant move his head anymore. ) If you need more help let me know bro ;)
OH, fyi, brute force can result in the spliting of your pred-head. Trust me :-[
Also, you can try to put some lotion or somthing in there to lube it up. Slide into place easyer.
May I suggest an easier option?
Boil some water and dip the neck for a minute or so, then try again, it'll pop right in, no sweat!
Let us know if it worked!
That don't harm the figure? I'll remember that myself then ;)
Nope, I've used it in 3 Preds already, no harm at all!!
That actually helepd a lot too if you have the Hot Toys Snap Kits! (man those are a pain in the neck to put together!) As much fun it is to put dress them up, for the price tag, I wish Hot Toys spared us the assembly step and packed them fully assembeled...
:D Thats cool. I actually enjoy puttin em together, but I would'nt mind it bein a tad easyer ;D.
Thanks for the advice then Demonio! And slipknot, hope you get your elder pred fixed! Mine was a bi***...wish I'd known the boil water thing a week ago :D
Thanks for the help :)
Finally i spited inside his head and useed some brute force, and it worked!!! 8) lol i was so stresed, the elder predator is awsome!!!! i still have to put the quills on his head :-[

yeah the necklace is upside down (im not going to take his head off to put it right)
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg216.imageshack.us%2Fimg216%2F7870%2F1191163751fwu5.jpg&hash=7c1e208f9cd82892000d8ca3e50d158811e972ec)
Oh man don't remind me about the quills...took me forever!!! lol Glad you got it on there dude ;)
YOu can also cut the necklace, flip it and tie it together again, it sure is easier than popping the head off!! ;D
Yeah im going to do that :P taking his head off again its not an option :D

Because Hot Toys kicks the crap out of MacFarlane. Trust me, once you get one Hot Toys Predator figure, you'll be addicted to them all.

The Alien head on the stick is pretty badass, if you ask me.

Thats a kickass figure. I cant wait to get my Predator2 Elder and a Wolf one :o
For the ones that were asking me how did i put the quills on my elder predator i have to say that i dont know how to explain it in english lol, but i used some sort of big needle, i didnt used fire like "Pitu" did, that and some super glue and some dentist tools to grab the quills one by one...i was like 2 hours doing it :P
Yeah, that it was limited to about a 250 PCS run, so it's pretty rare. I have no interest in the AVP regular Elder, I like all my Preds with masks. I'm also having a professional customizer look in to seeing if he can sculpt some fist hands for my Predator. If it's one thing that's wrong with them, it's that they didn't come with fist hands.
As for the quills, just get some tweezers, put some superglue on the end of the quill your attaching, hold where you attached it till the superglue dries it onto the head. It may take awhile, but in the end, it'll get the job done. ;)

That ones very nice.
Aside from the dreadlocks.
I can't stand those ugly AvP dreads.

What's so bad about the AVPs dreads? From what I can see, they're the same as the first 2 Predator's dreds. The only thing I don't like about them is that they're wired, which prevents them from hanging freely(They corrected this with the Hot Toys P2 Predator) and gets in the way of the shoulder cannon.
The AvP dreadlocks were longer.

Yeah, just noticed while viewing come compare pics with the P2 Pred and AVP Scar. Still prefer the un-wired P2's dreads, though.
