I'll never be able to figure out just what it is that causes not just Predator, but horror and sci-fi film figures in general to jump in prices the way that they do. I get the whole "limited distribution" and "cult favorites" and all that, but it is ridiculous. Look up the prices of Jason Voorhees figures done by Mezco, older Walking Dead, or Hellraiser figures in general if you don't believe me.

Case in point, one of the very few figures that I'm missing from my Predator collection, is the original Falconer and Dog Tracker Predators. The only reason that I never picked them up when I had the chance, was that the line was still in it's infancy, and had really bad QC issues, as most of the ones that I ran into had either broken tusks or wrist blades.

After coming into my tax money this year, I thought I'd give it a shot, but when I checked on them, lone behold they were hitting almost 100 bucks in some cases on the secondary market. Ridiculous. For an extra 60 or 70 bucks, I could get the Hot Toys versions of both characters. (Which I might end up doing in the long run...as I've been eyeing to make my first Hot Toys purchase in the Predator field, I just haven't been able to narrow down which one I'm willing to commit that sort of money to, since I love them all.)

I would suggest giving actual doll stands, such as the ones made by Kaiser a try. I had a similar issue with my Walking Dead figures (as some figures do not have pegholes on their feet) and was able to find the right size to make them work. I was able to use those same stands on other figures as well, clipping them on the figure's leg as opposed to their waist.

It doesn't get more top heavy than the NECA FvJ Jason Voorhees, and if it keeps him standing, I don't see why it wouldn't work on your Predator there. Although, as I said, Kaiser makes them in multiple sizes and colors, so you can probably just go ahead and get some properly sized for your yautjas.

The stands I use can be found on Amazon.

There are similar ones coming soon that are sold through BBTS that Pixel Dan and Shartimus Prime recently reviewed and gave solid marks. Those can be found here.
