NEW PREDATOR 1 MAQUETTE by Sideshow

[tchalikias]

This has got to be the most expensive Bobble head ever produced.

Hah, I was going to post the exact same thing!

The base is nice although not sure why he's balanced on a tree stump.

If it ships like that I personally think it has bigger issues, harder to fix, than the P2.

Thankfully this is only the prototype and all can be remedied.

Man this looks incredible! Can't wait for the PO to go up!

Not sure if this was mentioned or even picked up on yet but there's no arm quills!??

That's true.. Can't say that I blame SS for leaving them off. Lots of little pieces that would prompt lots of replacement request when they break off the body during shipping.

Dude - you know better than that.

No way in hell are they going to re-sculpt an entire body AND head.

This confirms it categorically for me - the head IS too big, AND the body is too slim.

I can only hope now that this looks better with the unmasked head (which is the way I'd display).

Anyone else hit the 'Mute' button while watching?

I'm glad they used the brightest shade of green for the leaves on the base!

I actually quite like the vivid colours on the base. Adds a bit of life to it. I'll bet it is exaggerated by the harsh lighting there however.

Yarp - within about 5 seconds

Appreciate him posting the vid though.

Regarding the size of the head, I think it looks fine, and about it being too slim, I thought the same thing, but someone over at statue forum posted a screen grab of the Predator from his right side in the movie, and it looks the same.

Facts?! We don't need no stinkin facts!

Are they going to add the missing spine trophy in the future?

No idea. No more info has been shared.

However, there will likely be a left hand skull/spine swapout which would arguably make the strung chest spine trophy redundant.

We'll see shortly (hopefully).

Just want to hear from Sideshow that the blimmin' thigh armour will get fixed (we already know the Bio & body sizes won't be).

Don't forget the exclusive coupon if things don't go well.

Not sure if "Phil the sixth" is a member here under another name, and would have posted this himself (I'll delete this if so) - but here's what he just posted on Statue Forum . . .

"Bad news about the Predator guys...I have two friends at the con right now and this is what they had to say about the maquette:

"Phil funny you should ask about the Predator. When I first saw it I thought it was a bobblehead. It's ridiculously huge.

Raf and I were just looking at it and I think we both agreed it's oversized, not just a little, but obviously so."​
