NEW Predator vs. Dutch kit

[Furious1]

Yea, thats the real issue here...the commision cost. Once you consider the piece plus shipping and the commision plus shipping, you are in a world of hurt.

Good use of film quote!

I was wondering if anyone would notice...haha

I couldn't think of a decent follow-up unfortunately. I think the bit you quoted was the end of that exchange!

Yep, I would rather have a Predalien bust

The environment piece alone is something I'd love to have. It seems to be designed to hold water in the base?

No, if you had real water in there it would eventually damage the resin and paint-job, surly.

If the Pred is 15" tall then I'd say this is a 1/5 scale...I mean his legs are bent. The HT Preds are 14" at 1/6 standing straight-up.

This is a kit I would love to have and would love to paint too but at $500. WOAH!!

its not like hes squating, theres a slight bend to them, but it would still come in at 1/6th scale. The water just looks real, just like on the CM and SS pred

That looks ****** awesome!!! Nothing else needs to be said about it

HT Preds are short. P1, P2 & The Elder Predator should all be slightly over 15 inches tall to = true 1/6 scale.

Kevin Peter Hall (who played all those Preds) was 7' 2". With shoes/Pred feet + the Predator Head he would easily be at least 7' 6".

You can see in these pics how much foam was used for the heads:

HT Preds are short. You shoudn't use them as a measuring stick for other 1/6 Predator stuff.

That looks soo funny!

I've been wondering about this pic from Predator 2 on-set - it's in the cemetery scene, right? But we never saw the Pred in decloaked form in that scene, only cloaked so during filming KPH would have been wearing the red SFX suit. So what's the deal here?

They may have been shooting another scene earlier or later and just hasnt changed. Or just dropped by after his bit was done

...tell em large Marge sent ya

thanks Sabres

BWAHAHAHAHA!!! I just shot water out of my nose!!!

~~This is so freaking awesome, but as Furious point out. Cost +Shipping + Paint + Shipping = Sideshow 1:1 Bust pricing. While this will definitely be worth it for the die-hard Predator fans, I personally can't justify that kind of coin when I could get my hands on a bust. Good luck to those that want one though!!!!!

 

[Furious1]

Yes, as awesome as this is, I would prefer a bust. Its a great purchase for someone like SilentSurfer, who can do the paint justice...

 

[Ash Housewares]

No doubt it is an impressive kit but for $500 you need a damned good painter to do it justice

Which means Mo' Money.

Very cool diorama!

So was this the guy who posted in that other forum looking for referance material on the predator I wonder.

Nah.. that was NECA for their new Predator Figures.

This guy is Narin, who makes unlicensed Pred/Alien statues.

Dan aka Faken no longer carries any of his stuff on his site because everything Narin makes is unlicensed i.e. illegal. And according to Dan that was becoming a problem for him and his site. You can still check out Narin's past work on Dan's site though.
