Prime 1: Predator 2 - City Hunter 1:3

[Xenoburger]

I already know what pose I want. Slaughterhouse scene with closed combi-stick and targeting system aimed at Keyes.

Good call, I did have that one in mind, but a combination of that with his stick extended and beside him.

One thing Sideshow did really nail on their P2 maquette was the relaxed nature in the pose. Predators don't always walk around with their chests puffed out and "carrying carpets" (If that expressions works internationally? Basically arms rigid outwards) Even the new 1/3 Jungle hunter falls victim to that a little, it'd be much nicer if they relaxed the arms a bit.

Something similar to this for this City hunter would be just fine by me.

Agreed. I vastly prefer museum poses. I think it allows you to put all of your focus and attention into the fantastic design of the character and not be distracted by too much movement/action.

I love when he's slowly walking towards Keyes in that scene, after retracting his combi-stick. You can just imagine him grinning, thinking "You ----ed up". He's eliminated Keyes' team and is no longer in a rush. He's going to take his time now, but he has no respect for Keyes and is happy to grant him a dishonorable death.

And I completely agree about the new jungle hunter as well - I would have preferred the arms to be more relaxed. I don't know how I feel about his pose. It seems a bit unnatural and for some reason reminds me of the NECA pose. I appreciate that he's not doing some crazy yoga movement though.

My dream is to afford a line-up of custom, 1:2 predators in museum poses with loads of switch-outs and simple bases. Sculpted completely to my direction. I think that is my sort of end-goal with collecting. No company can make the 100% perfect predator statue. So I hope I can spend a small fortune to have it (them) commissioned and created one day.

I would like to see a pose like this.

YES. I was thinking the exact same thing, especially when looking at it from the side. I do appreciate that they at least made him look like he's stepping forward a bit, about to challenge Dutch.

Personally, I would've liked to see a torso twist in the opposite direction of his front leg, with his gauntlet arm raised a few degrees. I think there's a bit of room to add some dynamism and torque without making it busy, but it's fine as-is.

Anyone else think it odd they didn't do these in 1/2 but they have other movie licenses?

I for one would be interested even if the sculpts were identical anyone else?

Wonder if they've already planned for it.
