Product Description

Amazon.com

Part of the Movie Maniacs 6 series from McFarlane, this 8-inch Hunter figure is detailed right down to its scaly feet. It's covered in bits of coppery plastic armor and articulated at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist (twice), legs, knees (twice again so its legs can both kick and swivel), and ankles. Unlike the Predator 2 version of this figure--which is basically the same toy--this Predator comes with a spear that can be extended on both ends, although it seems to be permanently fixed in the figure's hand. There is also an included throwing disk, albeit one that doesn't fit through the figure's fingers as with the other version. For added detail, a tiny panel on the left arm flips up to reveal alien buttons, and the figure's front jaw is wide open. (One can only imagine what this guy's breath must smell like!) Delicate dreadlocks hang over the back of the head, underscoring the idea that overall this figure is meant more for display than play, and won't survive a whole lot of abuse. --David Morel

Based on the title character in Predator 2, this fully articulated figure is openmouthed and includes the spear weapon and throwing disc. Also has movie poster.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most awesome figures anyone will ever own!, May 12, 2003

Since a small child, the Predator films have been some of my favorites and I especially thought the Predator from the second film looked awesome. I dreamed of a really awesome, detailed figure, but for years all I got were the Kenner ones which were fun, but not detailed, not true to movie and not articulated. McFarlane who is famous for creating some of the greatest detailed figures ever created this and it now is proudly displayed in my home. It is my favorite toy I own, I would say and it looks exactly like it's film counter part. Great to display in or out of package and the great articulation enables many different action poses and so on. However, I warn that this figure is not meant to play with. McFarlane's figures are very fragile and especially the small parts can break off easily. Don't give this to your kid...display it with pride because it's one of the best around!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool but flawed figure, May 9, 2003

Don't get me wrong...this is a really great looking figure. Unfortunately it has very little to differentiate it from the other figure released in the Movie Maniacs 6 series. Some of its features include an open-mouth head, as opposed to the other figure with a closed mouth/mask. Its wrist compartment on the left arm opens up, and it includes a spear accessory, which the other figure did not have. The detail on this figure also seems to be alot better.

The problem with this figure mainly comes from the spear accessory...it is by far the flimsiest and most delicate accessory i've ever seen. It doesn't fit into the position indicated on the packing (which would've been a great pose). It breaks very easily, and no matter which position you have the Predator in, it looks like he's trying to break the spear with his bare hands because it bends so much. The pole arms don't stay out because they are so loose. They always retract back into the grip.

That's the only real gripe with the figure, otherwise its a great looking piece, of somewhat identical to its counterpart. Nevertheless, its worth having in your collection. I only wish that instead of releasing two vesions of one creature, McFarlane Toys would've produced a different type of figure, namely the elder Predator seen at the end of the film Predator 2.

I was in a toy collector's shop today in New Jersey and ran across this astonishing figure. While they had 2 other Predators from AVP-R, THIS was the one to get.

I was very happy finding it and it's going to look even better displayed on my shelf!
