    The past two or three weeks is the first I have seen these figures…unbelievable. These are the best action figures I have ever seen. I may just shell out $150.00 per figure to get them.

    They have the Scar and Celtic Predators from AVP, Hicks, Vasquez, and Apone from Aliens, and John Connor and the T-800 from Terminator. The link is for an eBay auction for One of the Predators. It has the best pics. The Celtic Predator also has the huge wrist blades that fit onto both gauntlets. The data pad on the left wrist also opens but is not shown in the pics.

    I could only find pictures of Apone and Hicks:

    Very cool but not worth nearly the $150 they are going for.

    This place has all 3 (Hicks, Apone, Vasquez) at $114. Still a bit much IMHO.

    I added some links to my above post. These are even better than the Sideshow Star Wars 12″ (not that I am going to stop buying them). But I can definitely see adding these Hot Toys ones to my collection, even at 150.00-200.00 dollars per.

    EP – I saw that site. There are some buy-it-nows on ebay for 99.99, but there is a heap o’ shipping tacked on after that.

    And Takara has these two Predators and an Elder Predator in there Microman line that are equally unbeatable for a 4″ figure. Obviously they can’t compare to these, but for 4″ they are as good as it gets(except that they are VERY flimsy, and oh so easy to break). They run about 20.00 after shipping.

    Wow, I can’t believe the detail of these. I was checking this guys other auctions. Noticed he has Hot Toys Rambo and Trautman. These are the same figures offered at Sideshow’s website, saying they teamed up to make the Rambo figures. Hmmm

    No surprise there. Sideshow also teamed up with Medicom and is dirtibuting their RAH line. Interestingly enough, there are no Medicom Star Wars 12″ from the RAH line on Sideshows website. I wonder if the agreement included Medicom not making Star Wars anymore or if they are actually the ones making them for Sideshow. I’ll be checking the bottoms of the feet when Luke gets here.

    I just discovered these last week too. Ended up ordering Hicks, Scar Predator and Celtic Predator. Hicks is on the way, should get him this week! :thumbsup:

    After shipping, Hicks came to about $125, and the Predators are just under $150 each. Not a bad deal for collectibles of this calibur IMO.

    Here’s some links to the auctions I won:

    Predator Auction

    I am jealous, Reefer. But I am about 85% of the way sure that I will get them as well. I will be getting both Predators, all three Colonial Marines, and both Terminator figures.

    I got the Sergeant Tech-Com Kyle Reese figure from Terminator. He is amazing. I passed on the T-800 because it does not have Arnold’s likeness. I will get the Endoskeleton if they ever release it.

    I am also making a custom 20th Century Kyle Reese using Connor MacLeod’s sneakers and trenchcoat. Just have to dye it army green. Looks dead on.

    My friend got the Corporal Hicks figure and has been trying to convince me to get one. He says it is amazing. I’d get one if they had Ripley.

    Hot Toys is not teaming with Sideshow for the Rambo figures. HotToys is a Japanese based company and Sideshow is their new official U.S. distributor. So hopefully sideshow will get the predators so we can pick them up at $65-$75 a piece. It would also be cool if they made mud covered Anuld from Predator and maybe Carl Weathers.

    I emailed Sideshow to find out if they are going to carry the Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece line which has the 12″ wonder-figures from Aliens, AVP, and Terminator. They gave me the following response:

    Well it looks like Sideshow will be selling the Hot Toys Predators after all. Here’s a link to a news article —-> click me! Now I feel like an idiot for jumping the gun and pre-ordering them from an ebay seller….. :stupid:

    On another note, I received my Hicks yesterday. Let me tell you guys, I’m very impressed! I haven’t even put it together yet, but I can already tell this is the highest quality 1/6 scale figure I own, and I own figures from lots of high-end 1/6 companies (Medicom, Marmit, Sideshow, Ignite, etc…).

    This guy is almost more like a model kit, as you have to assemble to whole thing (even the limbs on the actual figure). I’ve opened it and checked out all the accessories, just amazing. The detail is incredible, and everything seems nice and sturdy. The body itself is very nice too. Super articulated, and the major joints are held together by metal screws – this means that if it gets loose, you can always tighten them back up (a HUGE plus in my book).

    Another thing I noticed, is that the box is huge, heavy, and sturdy. It’s got the typical box w/flap, and that box slides into a sleeve. There are so many accessories that it has two levels of trays.

    I honestly can’t find one thing that I don’t like about this figure, and that makes it well worth the high price IMO.

    I can’t wait for the Predators, and I might have to get Apone and Vasquez now….
