🔥 New Wolf Predator by Hot Toys review. Enjoy the crisp 4k footage done with my new cam (Panasonic GH5 🎥 ) and a revamped video structure that I would apply to future content if you like it.
Editing took lots of time, I hope to get faster soon but with 4k everything is also approx. 4 times longer & bigger (rendering, file-size, export, upload, processing on youtube). Thanks for the patience.

Great comprehensive video review! I like the new style the image had the same crispness to me since I'm not viewing it on some ultra HD electronic which I don't possess any just my old IPad 2. As far as the new Wolf, let's just say I'm glad I finally landed on decently used Ancient Pred 2.0 in 2017. Talking about authenticity I wish for that figure they put the exposed toes shoe from that scene but didn't. Quite fortunate your Doctor Strange from infinity war is coming early sounds like. I can't wait to get him those lines to Thanos and his moves were just pure godliness! Plus I'm a sucker for characters that can use magic and I loved him in Marvel Ultimate Alliance, where I first was introduced to him. I'm just glad I caught AlterEgo's stock regain or whoever cancelled their PO.

Thanks for the nice coment! :-) Yeah, mobile and tablet devices don't support 4k. I think i'll check how many of my viewers are actually checking my vids on desktop...producing in 4k is so time consuming, so I need to decide if it's really worth the additional effort or just go with full HD. Good point on the exposed toe, was not aware of that! First I was unsure about magical characters in the MCU...but they did a magnificent job introducing Doctor Strange. :-)

Thanks buddy, just subbed to your channel. :-) I just checked the replacement hand pegs - it's for no use. But i found an easy fix - use some bluetack and put it right into the hole, then the handpeg in - this will tighten everything up.

Great Review did love the structure. Do you have P2 ELDER 2.0? If so between Scar 2.0, Elder and Wolf what is your ranking? I’m on the fence with Wolf. And leaning towards a pass bc two Predators Elder & Scar is enough in my collection. Might use the money on Dooku

Thanks. Yes, i thought to put P2 elder also in it...but the shelf was already too packed. :-) Elder 2.0 is a beast on its own. When I had Scar in my hand yesterday during filming I was again amazed of that one too.

@bcali7343 5 жыл бұрын

Phenomenal image quality and great review. I was really excited about this figure but now I am pumping the brakes a bit just because of the quality control issues, for example the loose wrist peg would absolutely blow my lid. Did you try maybe swopping that peg for the back up that comes with it? I actually don’t mind that there are no closed mandibles, I would have liked another set of hands instead of a coiled whip but the most important thing to me is whether the figure functions as it’s supposed too. Right now I am debating between this figure and the Elder Predator 2.0 and I think im going with Elder because I have wanted that fig for so long and it seems to have very few QC issues. If I can get this fig also, I may still do so since the sculpt is totally sick and the weapon arsenal is mind blowing. I would give this figure a 9 if it had just 1 simple issue but it seems there are a lot, so I would have to agree with Dean and give it a 7.5 - 8. Thank you so much for the badass review, I will definitely be scratching my chin over this one, well see how many more people have issues.

@Xenom0rph 5 жыл бұрын

Many thanks for the great comment. I just found an easy fix for the loose peg , just put some bluetack in - this will tighten up the inner chamber where the peg is sitting. Here a photo what i did: instagram.com/p/BsSl4WMHbIz/, the extra peg did not help. I'm curious to see customizers coming up with a closed mandible version. Elder 2.0 is also a must have...so if you have to decide I'd hunt that done first and then Wolf, there is really no bad thing about the Elder if you ask me. I was thinking about a rating system for the new video structure as you just pointed out the numbers...but then drifted away putting more work / brain into comparison, movie / behind the scenes footage as a focus to get closer to the movie side of the colllecting passion.

@bcali7343 5 жыл бұрын

xenom0rph, as far as your video goes, I give your video a 10 out of 10 for real. Never seen anyone use as much behind the scenes footage to compare a figure as you did and you picked the best footage as well. I really had no other questions about this figure after your review, so hats off and great job again. Besides the hand cannon Hot Toys really did a phenomenal job with every other aspect of this figure, that head sculpt/paint is just, wow, I love it, not going to lie, I still do want the figure and will end up getting one sooner or later.
