AvP Wolf Predator by Tamashii Nations

Review of new #predator #actionfigure by #tamashiinations, 4/5 stars!

Introducing the big and the bad Predator Wolf by Tamashii Nations. This is the follow up figure in the S.H Monster Arts line after the Alien that was released a month ago. Just like the Alien, the Predator Wolf has a fantastic build quality. He has excellent joints, customisation and comes with plenty of accessories. My personal favourite is his whip which is made from an Alien’s tail. He also comes with his signature shoulder gun, spear, medical bag, “acid” effect part and blade extensions. There is also a rolled up version of the whip which can be attached to the belt as well as a retracted version of the spear which can be attached to his back. He comes with ten different hands to use with the various weapons as well as two heads (masked/unmasked). For the unmasked head you can change his mouth bits for a wider look. The only issue I have with the figure is that the mouth bits have a tendency to fall out easily and that the heads are quite hard to put on. I recommend using a blow dryer to soften the PVC in the head before attempting to attach it to the ball joint.

Overall I am very happy I bought this guy and he looks wicked posed with the Alien! They are also releasing an “Alien Big Chap” in May and another Predator version in August so I cannot wait to get my hands on them as well!

AvP Alien Warror Figure by Tamashii Nations

Sexy new #Alien #Xenomorph from the #AvP movies by #Tamashiinations !

Grab your flamethrowers everyone as a new threat has arrived to take over your shelves! The brand new AvP Alien Warrior by Tamashii Nations. This is part of their S.H. Monsters Arts line which has been expanding recently. When I first saw this guy on display at their showroom late last year I knew I just had to have him. Ever since watching the Alien movies I have always dreamed of having an Alien figure. Sadly up until now I have not been satisfied with the pose. That is until now! This figure is fantastic. Every bit of him is poseable from his tail to his claws. You can have him stand, hunched or in the pose I have always longed for… on all fours ready to strike!

This is my first Tamashii Nations figure and I am very impressed with the quality. Both the molding and paint job is impeccable. He looks like he has jumped right out of the movies or H.R Giger’s work. One of the best parts is how the mouth opens allowing for the tongue head to burst out! The tail has stunning flexibility allowing you to wrap it around over his head for a menacing pose. The figure also comes with an egg, a chest buster, additional hands/feet and a base. I find that he stands perfectly fine without the base. I was even able to clip a pen to his arm while maintaining a sturdy pose. Overall, he stands at about 6”7’ 

I highly recommend this to any fan of the Aliens and AvP movies! The Predator figure will be released next month which I have on order so I cannot wait to have them side by side… now if only I could get another nine Xenomorphs to surround him…
