I just bought a figure from Kenner's line of Predator toys from the 90's. It should get here within a week!

Woah, that's a peculiar one. Was it a variant of some kind?

Hell yeah Ace! Those AVP toys were awesome! I had a good assortment of the toys including the one you pictured as well as glow in the dark predator and various xenomorphs. 

This one by far was my favorite, when it lowers its head spikes come out

Kenner's entire line was like that. Each had their own gimmick, like one could glow in the dark and there was another whose dreadlocks could be used like whips.

Oh, okay. So they just created a whole lot of random, unique Predators to expand the line.

I have been using the DS Bolt 3 for about 3 days now, and wow. Amazing. I have Star Wars Battlefront maxed out at Ultra for every visual setting, and it may as well be a dos program. Smooth as ice. Sweet.
