McFarlane Toys Movie Maniacs Series 6 Alien and Predator Action Figure Predator the Hunter
Part of the Movie Maniacs 6 series from McFarlane, this 8-inch Hunter figure is detailed right down to its scaly feet. It's covered in bits of coppery plastic armor and articulated at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist (twice), legs, knees (twice again so its legs can both kick and swivel), and ankles. Unlike thePredator 2version of this figure--which is basically the same toy--this Predator comes with a spear that can be extended on both ends, although it seems to be permanently fixed in the figure's hand. There is also an included throwing disk, albeit one that doesn't fit through the figure's fingers as with the other version. For added detail, a tiny panel on the left arm flips up to reveal alien buttons, and the figure's front jaw is wide open. (One can only imagine what this guy's breath must smell like!) Delicate dreadlocks hang over the back of the head, underscoring the idea that overall this figure is meant more for display than play, and won't survive a whole lot of abuse.--David Morel
