Predator Figures from Hot Toys that Aren’t Predators!
Hot Toys has been consistently making some super sweet toys for awhile now and even though I really admire a lot of their products, it took Dutch from Predator to make me want to buy one of their toys. Perhaps it is because I’m gay for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s action characters…
…or maybe because I love Predator so much and a Dutch figure is something I never thought I’d ever see. This thing is like flapjacks on ice. What’s even better is that if you got one, you could pretty much customize him to be any of Arnold’s roles from his vast action film library. John Matrix from Commando? Check. Ben Richards from The Running Man? Check. Howard Langston from Jingle All The Way? Double check!
If you think a Dutch character is cool, there’s a Billy that looks like he’s on his way too. Billy is the stereotypical Native American that lasts about five seconds against the Predator and dies horrifically off screen. Way to go on that one, Billy.
By the way, Billy is not the stereotypical Indian that was in the War of the Worlds TV show. The stereotypical Indian in War of the Worlds was played by Richard Chaves, who strangely enough plays a Hispanic in Predator.
Anyway… if they make the rest of the crew like Mac, Carl Weathers, Hawkins, Jesse Ventura, and especially Anna I will grow broke. No questions asked.

I gotta keep echoing Poe’s refrain:
“Don’t start collecting twelve-inch figures. Don’t start collecting twelve-inch figures. Don’t start collecting twelve-inch figures.”

Honestly, getting the humans from Predator is a lot like getting the desk chairs from GI Joe. Yes, there were some in there, but nobody really gives a crap.
Man, that analogy went nowhere…
