Interesting. I wonder if the Elder will not wear a mask and be able to use the plasma caster with the laser sight on the plasma caster?
Elder uses a mask, it's a undamaged but rusty version of the 87 mask


Damn! Someone level 150 already?

Nah it looks like he was 102 based on the screenshot. But you can still see him in the game now before you can unlock him.

I'm saddened the Samurai Predator isn't based off the Prime 1 Sengoku Predator.


Kailem

For some reason in my mind I was thinking it was, even though they clearly look different! :laugh:

If anything it looks like it's based on the Hot Toys figure rather than the Prime 1:



Weird that it's got the "AVP" logo on it though since there doesn't seem to be anything Alien-related about it. Maybe they just already had that license.

Did we have alternate roars before? I know we have some variation on the classic but I don't think I've heard that one specifically since AVP 2010 or maybe Mortal Kombat.

Paging Voodoo Magic; Is this roar in Predator 2? I feel like I should know where that roar comes from.

Elder has custom sounds by the looks of it

That's really cool, definitely makes him seem a bit more unique.

Yeah, that'll do it! :laugh:

The little crown looks more like Sengoku rather than Hot Toys. TBH I didn't even know Hot Toys had ever made one!

Interesting to me they opted for yet another mask. The guy actually has three at this point with 1718 having the stylized take on the JH helmet and the version from the cover. And now it's just a rusty (albeit intact) JH.

Well to be fair that 1718 cover wasn't really originally its cover, right?  That cover art was co-opted from something else if I'm remembering correctly.

But I'm personally okay with using the JH mask with different shaders on the Elder, since, as you mentioned, his mask in 1718 feels like a stylized version of the Jungle Hunter's.

Yeah, that is definitely not a straight City Hunter pull. That roar sounds customized.

Aye. It was a cover for Kindred, I think. Same artist, so I think they just did both.

Ah, yes, that was it. Kindred. Thank you kind sir!

I really like Kindred. It tells pretty unique story

Now I feel stupid for not figuring that out myself  :P

Yeah the reason I mentioned the cover was that it was used for Golden Angel's Neca figure and if they're supposed to have canonical backstories then the designs should hold at least some merit. It's not the worst thing and had he had one in Predator 2 it probably would've looked something like that. That being said he's already been given two so while it's not out of the question he had or has others I'd have appreciated them going a bit further with that.
