As long as 'most people' recognise it as an '87 Pred I'm in!
I thought it was '78 - damn - and I got that date from a Sideshow Predator expert too

Sounds like an oxymoron.... a Sideshow Predator expert ...

Well put mate, and very respectful. I've been aware of the shortcomings of this piece from day 1, but I still think it's a bad a$$ looking piece. I had the chance to purchase the original Maquette, and whilst I'm aware it's more accurate than this, I never cared for the pose, and I felt this new Maquette would make a better companion piece for the Dutch PF
Thank you, and honestly, the pose is so much nicer in person, I think many of us who own that maquette had similar reservations until we actually got hold of one. If you ever get the chance to see one in person, take it. But yeah, I'm sure this will look good with the Dutch PF.
Fine tell SS the give it a cloaking device and people will like it better lmao
I'm getting it and like it and nobody I know collects anything but age so they won't say anything bad.
So I guess those who ordered it are idiots? No offence to anyone in this thread, but it's getting tiresome coming in here and seeing the same people make the same negative comments over and over and over again...
We get it guys, you don't like it, you think it's not worth it, you want an exact replica of the Predator in 1/4 scale for this money, blah blah blah. Does it really need to be constantly repeated over and over? End of the day, most people who walk into your room and see it will instantly recognize it's the Predator from the 1987 classic.
Guess what? There's plenty of people that like it enough to have ordered it. It's a little disrespectful to make these people feel stupid for ordering it.
If I look at most of what Sideshow produce, I can find inaccuracies FFS. Can't tell me their likenesses for any of their human characters have been 100% spot on. Hell, Cinemaquette release statues with poor likenesses for thousands of dollars, and even their creatures have some inaccuracies. Steve Wang's Predator is an artistic interpretation of the character that sells for over 4 thousand these days, yet nobody doesn't mind the inaccuracies on it.
End of the day, it is what it is. This forum makes up a tiny percentage of Sideshow's overall customers, so the opinions of members on here mean diddly squat. To constantly complain and crap on a product is pointless, when you know Sideshow won't change it.
yeah i dont get why anyone would buy this given the glaring inaccuracies and price. It's not like this is a normal $400-500 statue, it's $1300 for crying out loud. For this amount of money, why would you compromise? especially on a character/license that accuracy is absolutely key
I'd rather hear justified criticism then this noxious BS. People are frustrated and it can get testy. If you can't take the truth you could have waited for a better one or tracked down a SWS Maquette(or the NECA isn't actually that bad, it sure is a hell of a lot more accurate than this mess). Yea, nothing is perfect, even the SWS, but that is a poor argument to justify getting something this far off.
Buy it if you like it, just accept the truth and stop trying to make yourself feel better by complaining about people discussing its glaring flaws. Let the facts be known so the next guy can make an informed decision. The worse this sells the more likely they do a better job next time or stop camping on the license altogether.
Good post! And just to be clear people are entitled to speak how they feel about a piece. I have no hate for people loving this. How I felt about it in a negative way was way before I even came on the forums to find out what others felt. It is what it is. And if this does turn out better once in hand then that's great also.

. . . I Feel like the P2 maquette and P1 maquette are going to look great on both sides of my TV
I thought they'd stopped making those 1960's black & white sets?
.
WTF dude!! Color TV for me!!
Perfect - just make sure to put the maquettes BEHIND those doors . . . . AND . . . always keep the doors open.
.
Now you just sound Jelly.
I am.
I REALLY like that entertainment centre!
.
Ya know that is just my Living room TV... I got this set up in my theater room . . .
The maquettes will look even BETTER behind that one!

Here is what the Predator thinks of all your hate
