NEW PREDATOR 1 MAQUETTE by Sideshow

[LOTRfan85]

Finally found pics of my Neca Predator... As you can see I really thought a lot of the piece... Lack of true 1/4 was it's undoing for my collection.

27 inches of top is what is needed

Painted black mesh/material.

• You can sort of see it if you view THIS video (full screen) starting at 4:28 . . . https://youtu.be/wYfai9TyvxA?t=4m28s
  .
• Or (better still) this one (full screen) starting at 7:53 . . . https://youtu.be/QIaExI7XaZ8?t=7m53s

Okay thanks! That's not too bad. Hopefully this one will be the same at least in that area of detail. I was afraid they'd go with a flat matte paint job all these years later which would definitely scream cheaping out to me.

I never actually saw this one before until now. I think that was a main reason I didn't touch any of Neca sculpts. No true 1/4 scale pieces, even though they looked amazing. But the pose is very nice in this one Jaws

 

[Heavy Metal Spike]

Yeah - those 1/4 NECA's look awesome. We've got all 4 of the P1's and (I think) all-but-1 of the others.

Perfect "heft" / "body mass" or whatever the right term is.

You'd need more than 1 hand to reach round that!

No wonder mine is so stiff!

Put it in hot (not boiling) water for a couple of minutes - that should make things soften up.

I found this Steve marshall predator head...I think it is close. for me.




I just love the character but in no way a predexpert though.

Wow that head sculpt looks extremely close! I prefer the mandibles that way also not totally closed

 

[zombini]

yes, it is close because as a "living" creaure it would be able to move its mandibles whichever way he wants, so for me, the mandibles are not fixed to a position.

I mean Scott Marshall of course.

 

[Centurion]

The bust looks good. I don't why they painted his forehead like that though.

The bust also shows the quills on the maquette are too thick.

 

[zombini]

They are probably worried they might break easily if too thin. Maybe they could have used a rubbery material for the thinner quills...that would solve the problem of breaking.

Hot Toys didn't seem to have any issues with putting quills on their 1/6 Preds.

Sideshow's gonna Sideshow.

The crown is flatter, more accurate, making the proportions much better.
