r/predator

Honestly this is just insulting to collectors and fans. It's a straight-up repack with maybe six new accessories. A fancy box and a higher price-point. What do you think? Do you think this is worthy of being called better than an ultimate?

Now on my wall displayed proudly.

He looks awesome-especially under the UV lights! But I passed on the battle-damaged Feral, so I probably will pass on this one, too. I already have the original Hot Toys Feral, but we'll see.

Revisited the series and in particular, the first volume pissed me off aesthetically and storyboard wise. In some panels, I get the grit, like the art style, but it's genuinely hard to tell what the fuck is going on sometimes in the action panels. As a young teen I didn't notice it as much, but the fluidity just isn't there on a lot of the sequences for me as an adult.

Whilst you get the gist of what is happening, you're left thinking - Surely there was a better way to display that to the reader?

In the first image, Predator smashes through a window, and somehow people are behind him, despite the dude with the eye patch diving for cover in the prior panel it shares a page with.

Then in the second two examples, it just seems like a really lackadaisical way of drawing and sequencing this event. Batman throws a nut towards the electromagnet to draw the Predator under it, he succeeds and drops a shit load of scrap onto him, he starts advancing in the Predators direction with a fuck off wrench. He gets wounded by the plasmacaster, turns around for some reason from the direction he was shot? the predator is revealed to see him in the panel after pushing up scrap metal? THEN says, SEE YOU before grabbing his cape?

Anyway, are there any other comic crossovers that you can recommend based on my critiques?

I bought a figure in a second hand market weeks ago. It was interesting bc it was the Jungle Hunter body with the City Hunter head. I thought maybe i'll try to make a custom repainted figure. I'm not as experinced how i wanted to be, i'm just made some dinosaur figure repaints from Papo. So this was my first time for a real action-figure repaint stuff. The colour scheme came from the AVP: War comic from Dark Horse, where the beginning Top-Knot and his clan starts to landing on a xenomorph infestated planet and planning to capture an Alien Queen. In the comic this clan has one member amongst them with a gold biomask and a purple body armor. This was the inspiration came from.

I used Vallejo Game Color for the whole procces, a Vallejo White Primer before that, and an AK Gloss varnish after all.

The biomask got a gold metallic paint with some orange, gold and red wash. The eyes just red like in the comic.

I'm not an expert, so i decided i'll not repaint the rings on the dredlocks, but i've painted it's tips with it just like it has on Berserker's dreds.

The armor pieces got a mixed purple colour, and each day i've painted some parts with light blue and an orange-gold mix to making it look the armor was used, corrodated.

It was so cool to working on it, it was day after day, but i really like how it worked out at first.

Hope you guys like it!

Personally, I would love a sequel to Predators. There was an interview back in 2020 about potential storylines, but when I saw the mutated Yautja from the prequel comic it made me wonder whether we'd see something like this in the movies, too.

Here's also a link where they explained the process of designing the planet:

I think ever since the sword segment in killer of killers.

People have been brainstorming and thinking of other time period in not just Japan, but also East Asia for a predator story.

For me, I can imagine two Eras that would be a very interesting time for a predator

The FALL OF THE SONG DYNASTY:

basically predator versus Chinese and Mongolian warriors.

This was a very, very troubling time in Chinese history.

For a time in the song Dynasty, the emperor was just a baby that is barely 2 years old.

And then came the grandsons of Genghis Khan, that help overthrow the dynasty and established their own

Now imagine how interesting would be if a predator got involved.

It’s not just an medieval Chinese warrior

But also a but also a Mongolian warrior.

THE QING Dynasty:
This one is more I would say straightforward.

Basically, what if a predator got involved in the movie crouching Tiger, hidden Dragon.

Like similar to how the first two films were an action movie that had a monster appearing in the middle of it.

This one would be a straightforward Wuxia action movie that suddenly has a predator.
