Did a massive purge of my collection recently, took to my local shop almost anything that wasn't Predator/Alien or Lord Of The Rings related and really debating using the credit to put towards a Hot Toys Pred..
Out of the ones I can get without spending money out of hand, I can get either Shadow Predator or Beserker Predator. If I'm wanting to spend between 25 and 50 I can pick up either City Hunter or Scar Predator.. I'm wanting all four of them at some point but really on the fence on what one to get first.
Crazy Pred may be the guy to ask on this one.. but whats everyone else think/feel on them?

I'm no Hot Toys expert, but I've been partial to their Berserker since I first saw it, it's so much more big and imposing than Neca's. Scar looks really nice though, not bulky like in the movie and you get the benefit of the classic style Pred mask and more accessories to play around with. City Hunter's the most iconic of the 4, Shadow's not one of my favs of the Lost Tribe. It's a tough one, Berserker looks so awesome with his unique coloring but Scar seems more fun to find that perfect way to display, and its mask is instantly recognizable. I didn't expect to, but after looking at pics of each, I vote Scar.

I was leaning towards Berserker lol. I know a lot of people shit on the movie, but honestly I enjoyed it and the Pred designs are great. I may just flip a coin when I go down there...lol its really a toss up between Celtic and Berserker.

I'd NEVER drop money on the scar predator, hated his design. Celtic, maybe. Nut the unmasked scar is ugly.

He looks a lot better. But I think he still has that massive Arnold chin

Based on looks alone I think Berserker is far and above the more interesting design.

My Berserker pred is awesome and I love him!
One thing to consider is that he's built the sturdiest out of all the Hot Toys I own.
But on the flip side, he has less articulation. No torso joint.

Thanks for the input guys. I said fuck it and put the credit towards a Predator 2 Diograma. Looks cool, I have the option to keep it on its base, or hang it from the wall via picture hooks I'm assuming.
Did put a preorder down on the Hot Toys Elder Predator V 2.0. Love me the looks of it

No, I honestly don't really like the skull wall. This one is by Sideshow Collectables.

Razz, to the top of the Helmet its 11.5 inches. Found via google, that there is a whole line of these, may see what other ones I can find. Not 100% about hanging them on the wall, but the owner of the shop I got it from has a few, so may talk to him about what he used and if his fell or anything
