This piece has held up incredibly well! Looking super. Most certainly worth the grail status. That being said - I don't, however, appreciate what I saw Hot Toys do with the new ''2.0'' ''Jungle Hunter''. They just decided to take the lazy route with it. It's just the Classic Predator from Predators. Probably a ton of reuse. Looks more or less the exact same. Most definitely not a true 2.0, and certainly not the '87 JH. I would be more okay with it, if they just labeled it as the Classic. Hoping it was just a placeholder. They may have cared about this IP back in the day, but I'm not so sure, anymore. I feel like they just treat people like idiots. ''They'll buy anything.'' Anyway, that was my two cents on that. I appreciate the review! Very informative and your close-ups of everything are very welcome. Cheers!!
Thanks for your comments and supporting the channel its much appreciated 👍🏻 I have to say I’m with you on this and not convinced by the spate of V2.0 were seeing from Hot Toys. The cynic in me see’s recycling due to a lack of ideas and IP’s in order to cash in on the aftermarket prices of “grail” pieces, with no real 2.0 improvements. (the recent Catwoman release is a prime example) I dont know if its just me getting old and nostalgic but the quality and attention to detail just seemed to be so much better back in the day. Take care of yourself and happy collecting 👍🏻
Awesome Predator! Great review, love the little trophy skulls and leather strings and extra detail this one has, I only got the city hunter from Predators 2 but I think I'll get the new jungle hunter to fill the void in my collection, I would love to get my those 1/4 predators from neca as well, they look impressive
Thanks again for your comments and support 👍🏻 this is still one of my favourite Hot Toys figures after all these years. I cant recommend the NECA 1/4 scale version enough, it will be coming up for review on the channel soon and spoiler alert….it’s amazing! and represents great value for money as well. Take care of yourself and happy collecting.
No way 😅I took the photo you used for the thumbnail, that's awesome! I sold my custom Classic a bit back, I wonder if this is him? 🤔😄 Was my first Hot Toy back in the day. Great review!
My apologies, I thought that photo was a Hot Toys promotional shot it is that good. If you want me to replace it I will or I can at least credit you for such amazing photography 👏🏻 Did you add the bone necklace, shoulder strap and bindings? and did you sell it on Ebay about two years ago? p.s thanks for your comments and supporting the channel its much appreciated👍🏻
@@goFigure623 Hey, no it's fine mate. Looks awesome 💪 and thank you! Yeah I added all those things and also the time sounds about right too. I could be mistaken but cool if so 😅 I'm pretty sure that photo would've been in the listing when it was active. No worries, bro. I just watched your Wolverine (Deluxe) vid, cannot wait for that. Great content
Thanks for your comments and supporting the channel it’s much appreciated 👍🏻 Wolf is a good choice but I’m more of a classic person myself, it will be interesting to see what HT do with the 2.0 version. Take care of yourself and happy collecting.
Thanks for your comments and supporting the channel it’s much appreciated 👍🏻 I’m sorry to hear it didn’t stand the test of time 🙁 maybe a V2.0 upgrade is in order. Take care of yourself and happy collecting 👍🏻
I agree this is such a special figure isn’t it🔥I enjoyed the movie I must admit was surprised at how good Adrien Brody was as Royce and loved the idea of predators fighting themselves… much like humans unfortunately 🙁. The figure is so well detailed and as you mentioned a real 💪 flex from hot toys . Hard to imagine a 2.0 being so very much better there would be any need for you to pick it up!. Thanks for sharing your, thoughts and love the new lighting👍. Whilst I don’t have any new figures coming in this weekend I do admit I bought myself a cool collectible during the week …. Don’t laugh but I am having a go at building the JAWS Lego set😂 seen it in the window of the Glasgow Lego store and it looks fantastic, so had to pick it up😂 haven’t had Lego since about circa 1978 😂 so this could be a very long project😅, wish me luck, have a great weekend and as always mind how you go 👍
Thanks as always for the comments and support its much appreciated 👍🏻 honestly I’m not the biggest fan of Predators the movie and got this one to futz into a an orginal Jungle Hunter Pred as the first offering from HT was off imo. I’m a little suspicious of the current spate of V2.0 figures….the cynic in me sees HT recycling figures due to lack of ideas and IP’s and wanting a slice of the silly aftermarket money that “grail” pieces command by devaluing them with new versions. I might just be getting old but sometimes it seems to me HT are not putting in the same love and attention to detail they did a few years ago. No laughing about Lego here Sir….its amazing stuff! I saw some pics of the Jaws diorama and it looks fanatastic😮 I’m a huge Jaws fan…a classic. Lego do some amazing work, I have managed to avoid the rabbit hole becuse I know where it will lead 🤣 Enjoy the build and remember dont go walking around with nothing on your feet🤣 Take care of yourself and happy building and collecting.
Great video as always! But I can't believe you gave a 10 out of 10 score to the Classic Predator figure! This figure is not worth a 10 out of 10 score in my opinion (and also many of hardcore Predator fans' opinions). First, the unmasked face is absolutely inaccurate and looks ridiculously terrible (it doesn't resemble Classic Predator or Jungle Hunter at all). Also, the mask is inaccurate as well. Hot Toys has always been inaccurate with their Predator figures in terms of face and mask while Neca and Prime 1 Studio always did a fantastic job. It will be beyond ridiculous if they recycle the Classic Predator figure parts onto their coming-soon Jungle Hunter 2.0 😑
Thanks for your comments and supporting the channel its much appreciated 👍🏻 Although I have a number of Predator figures and statues in a variety of different scales I definately wouldn’t describe myself as hardcore on the subject. Imo describing this figure as ridiculously terrible is a bit harsh..…I go on what's in front of me but I realise its all subjective and its just my opinion, and opinions vary. Like you I’m hoping HT don’t just recycle this version for their 2.0 version (the same goes for the battle damaged T-800) but with their track record recently in 2.0’s I’m not holding my breath. Take care of yourself and happy collecting 👍🏻

What’s the difference between “classic” and jungle hunter? I thought it was the same 😭

@@iNf3cKTioN Thanks for that mate its much appreciated 👍🏻take care of yourself and happy collecting.
Great review. If I had to choose one... would it be this or something else like Wolf?
Thanks for your comments and supporting the channel it’s much appreciated 👍🏻 Wolf is a good choice but I’m more of a classic person myself, it will be interesting to see what HT do with the 2.0 version. Take care of yourself and happy collecting.
@@goFigure623thanks. Purchased a classic brand new... should be arriving at the end of the week. Quite excited
I have a Jungle Hunter kit for that Predator that might look great.
Thanks for your comments and for supporting the channel its much appreciated 👍🏻 what does the kit involve? Take care of yourself and happy collecting.
@goFigure623 the kit consists of updated bio mask, bone necklace, skull pendant, spine pendant, biceps armor and dreadlock rings
I've got this figure i've had it for years and he's fallen apart!
