Hot Toys Announcements: Predators and Terminator T-1000/sarah connor disguise Figure Unveiled,



Lookin' real good so far, as Hot Toys recently unveiled over at Hot Toys Tokyo International Toyfair 2010.
The supposed ''Super Black Predator'' which was named/dubbed from the movie's casting, debuts itself as to how it would look like in 1/6th glory here. And it's giving me the itch to catch the film and building up every ounce of geek hype!
T-1000 disguised as Sarah Connor comes in a limited run of 300 pieces, as far as sources over at MEDIWORLD go... loving the realism of the free flowing hair, intense expression and liquid metal bullet hole battlescar....
Can't wait to see the full announcements for these figures!
Hot Toys June Announcements DO COME QUICKLY!!!!

Predators (Sneak Peek Trailer)



Skipping the sequel to the original predator, Robert Rodriguez takes the helm as the director in this film, Predators. I am highly anticipating this movie as it'd be definately mind blowing to watch a film that stays true to its roots, or so Robert claims, as opposed to the severe dilution and over the top gore/blood fest that the predator and alien franchise has now become after Aliens Versus Predator.

Not that AVP isn't awesome. it's been falling steadily through the A grade to a B grade film with each sequel.

So for a reboot of a franchise of which fans have mostly since lost faith in its credibility to deliver, hey, i'm game to watch this film!

The full trailer releases on the 18th march.

Hot Toys 12' inch Predator: Major Alan '' Dutch '' Schaefer



I guess the bets are up now, with this headsculpt, upon release will be the BEST, Arnold Schwarzenegger headsculpt out there. Beating the previous line of arny's terminator t - 800 headsculpt. Pretty pleased that they've scored the license to make this really wanted figure for predator fans out there..
still remember when i was a kid and my dad would watch this movie with me, and i'd be awed by Arny's blazing gun and showdown with the predator...up till the removal of the predator's mask etc...
a must score for me...that aside, NOW GIVE US TERMINATOR SALVATION, OR AT LEAST TERMINATOR 2/3 LINE WITH ARNY HOT TOYS!!!! you've got the license! no excuses !

Hot Toys 12' inch Predator








I do not believe an introduction is required for this piece of cinematic history, and legendary beast/creature/monster of all time.
though to note, this whole pouring of AVP2 till now is getting me hooked onto the predator line of figures however much i am trying to avoid it.
so i'm sorry dear wallet, but i'd gotta wring it out for some wrinkled dollars for more figures!!!

Hot Toys: 12' inch Dutch ( Arnold Schwarzenegger ) from Predator

Sourced forums from OSW, mediworld etc for these hot items...









what more can i say? Likeness - check, gear - awesome, old school cool - check. Must buy.

Furthermore it seems apparent from the first picture that there's going to be, perhaps, a new muscular body for Dutch. ( correct me if i'm wrong )


Furthermore if they could do an arny governator likeness, i feel they should re-explore their terminator line, and redo the t-800, and give us for christ's sake, TERMINATOR salvation. Dont' leave it to Sideshow please!!!! loose bodies and poor paint jobs, DOH! HOT TOYS please do terminator salvation, it'd make the recession year so much more bearable!
