McFarlane: Alien vs. Predator - Celtic Predator Throws Alien

 (4 customer reviews)

This toy is not for play. I collect the predators and aliens from all the movies. I'm just a kid and my collection is pretty big. Every now and then, I play with them. But not this one. IT has almost no poseability. The guys aren't removable and are small. But, it does make a good collector's item.

The site I ordered this from didn't have dimensions, so we were a little surprised to find how small it was, but we are impressed by the details in the piece. For example, the alien even has a second row of teeth in his little mouth and the positioning of the dreds on the predator really add to the throwing motion. The sculpt isn't hard plastic- the arms and tail are bendable (but not posable) because of this, but the figure is sturdy and good quality. The only posable parts are the heads, Alien's torso, and Predator's arm sockets. We actually removed the Predator's hands from the Alien's leg with a knife, re-posed them on the same stand, and used this as our wedding cake topper. (AVP was our first date movie, and I, the bride, love Predator.) Good buy if you love the AVP series.

I love this figure set. It may be my favorite scene in the movie AvP and the figures are gorgeous. These are display figures only as they have virtually no poseability but they sure look great on my shelf. The detail is fantastic and it captures the imagery of the scene perfectly. Even if you can't play with it, it looks outstanding.
