Pretty much...It’s a damn shame also for people who have picked this up and are not happy with the turn out. It’s ok to like something if you can look past its flaws it’s just that this thing has way too many unfortunately. But whoever is happy with it thats cool also

Has anyone else here had loose heads on theirs?

2 other owners have contacted me about them having the same issue.

Damn that's annoying. Did you contact Sideshow about it?

Yes...I wrote them over the weekend. Now I'm waiting on the 3-5 day response. There are still a few people here who have not received theirs yet. I am anxiously waiting your reviews and opinions.

Just to catch up anyone who missed it...watch at 7:37

That sucks about the rolling heads issue. I remember on my SWS maquette both heads were boxed in their own separate styrofoam containers and sealed within the main styrofoam and they both had their own QC stickers including the individual number that corresponded to the ES of the statue. Giving you the impression they did a proper inspection and fitting before preparing each and every piece for shipping. You really don't feel each piece gets that same kind of TLC from Sideshow anymore. It's all a big gamble.

Burtial, is the leg armor with the wrong position on the right leg, a separate sculpt (glued or pegged)?

$1000+ NECA figure made of cheap polystone... Keep it classy, Sideshow.

The unmasked head on mine is very loose and won't go all the way into the neck. The tiny piece that goes into the shoulder armor wasn't included also.

I'm at work, but I believe it was a separate piece, I only say that because the leg netting went underneath it and the paint looked to too. Probably pegged AND glued. Felt like it didn't want to move at all, and I didn't want to mess with it beyond that point.

Yeah - it'll be pegged AND glued.

Someone will be asked to smash one eventually, so we should ask them to try prising it off then.

Everything else OK though?

Yeah.

I'm extremely satisfied with mine. I'm not even gonna bother taking the unmasked sculpt out of the box. I've never cared to pose any of my Pred's without their masks.

Just two quick shots, no editing.

Great pic! Question- do you have any blood in the left eye socket of the skull trophy?



And zero issues with the head magnets not working?

Hey Jaycepticon, any chance you perhaps could take the unmasked sculpt out of the box to take a couple of pics with your Predator?[from the front if possible].Cheers!

 

[Collectorcol]

Nice shots Jay.

If only they didn't move that piece of armour and leaving the unmasked portrait in the box is the way to go.
I really like the base.

Yeah, I'm swapping portraits tonight.

^Thanks, buddy.

I'll try to take one tonight when I get back home. Here's one that I did take though.

Let me check the skull when I get home. Any I didn't notice any issues when I moved the whole thing from my photo table to the display stand. Seemed pretty secure to me.
me.
