Science fiction horror film fans (aren't they everywhere?) just love the Predator film series. Fortunately for collectors, there is no shortage of cool action figures representing the characters from these flicks.
The Predator Franchise
The Predator film series is a science fiction horror film franchise. The series started in 1987 with the film Predator, produced by 20th Century Fox. This was followed by a sequel, Predator 2 (1990), and numerous novel, comic book and video game spin-offs. There were also three more incredible films: Alien vs. Predator (also known as AVP, 2004), Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (also known as AVP:R, 2007), and Predators (2010).
Many Choices
Whether you consider them toys or (like us serious collectors) works of art, the many action figures associated with the Predator movies will thrill you with their variety of colors, sizes, details, and accessories.
There are really a great many Predator action figures on the market. There are dozens of related figures to be found using a simple online search. Quite a few companies have produced Predator action figures, including Sideshow Collectibles, NECA, and McFarlane Toys.
McFarlane Toys released, in 2004, a series of figures from AVP that range from 8-1/4 to 8-1/2 inches tall. These articulated (poseable) figures are finely detailed and some come with removable accessories. The five figures in this series are Scar Predator, Elder Predator, Celtic Predator, Grid Alien, and Battle Alien.
Cost
The cost of the Predator action figures runs a wide gamut. Some can be bought for about $7, while some of the figures from McFarlane Toys can fetch up to $300. Some of the rare figures that are no longer in production are hard to find in the usual retail outlets, but may be seen on eBay for $500 or more!
Other Features
The available figures differ in size, ranging from 2 to 24 inches or more in height. Some are rigid, and some poseable. Some figures require assembly, and the product description of these should include the terms "kit version" or "some assembly required".
Bundles and Related Products
You can buy sets that include two, three, or even four, separate characters in a single package. There are also bundles of characters with dioramas. There is an Alien Lunchbox With Drink Container, and several T-shirts with related artwork. You can even get an AVP Chopper Predator Mask Life-size Prop Replica.
Final Words for Buyers
Some people buy these figures as toys, while others consider themselves collectors. Be aware that some of the Predator action figures are known to be fragile, while others are quite rugged. The best way to find out about specific products is to look for reviews that go into detail from personal experiences. Don't buy real small products for young kids who may swallow them. I'm sure you will find a great selection, so have fun!
