Official SS Predator Maquette thread/roll call

[Collectorcol]

I need to do that...

 

[Lugal]

The claws are obviously a plastic to me. Should've made it metal like Hot Toys but oh well...
And Neca, those should've been called 18 inches action-figure rather than 1/4th. Much like Medicom calling their figure 12 inches rather than 1/6th.

Yea, a $200 fig can have metal, but SS is so cheap they still insist on resin blades. I had all the "1/4" P1s and P2s, they were ok, but comparing them to statues is a stretch. They might be more accurate in some respcts, but they just have a very cheap toy feel. If Hot Toys ever delivers on their promise of 1/4 preds they might be acceptable substitutes for statues, but I don't see that happening.

Ehh that NECA really isn't anything to write home about at all though. In any way.

It certainly isn't, but that's what makes it so sad.

Congrats!

There's an Ex on eBay(UK) for £2,750

3x what I paid for the Reg.

Sold for £2,750

Yikes, I love my to the end of the Earth, not just because it's cool, but because it has the legacy of a great man behind it.

But for that kind of money, I'd be tempted to let it go... Better get the regular head fixed on mine.

Updates to the list have been made.

I actually own the Exclusive, sorry for not being clear. I think it's awesome you still update the list.

 

[Collectorcol]

To be fair you were quite clear...

I recently purchase #53 Predator EX Maquette!! I am still in shock. I never thought I'd see the EX on sale. I've seen the regular on sale from time to time, but never the EX.

But yeah, great work on one of the coolest lists to be on

Just came across this thread. Was unaware of the cool list here. I have the EX 221/300 from about 4 years. Pardon the amateur pics. Its in my home theatre and kinda dark.

That's awesome, good for you. I recently got my EX and the dumb seller did not seal the styrofoam that hold the portraits together. Some of the quills broke, when I say some I mean the right side of his face. The guy refunded me $500 and I already gave to a local guy to fix. I'm hoping he does a good job, wish me luck.

Expensive mistake.

The quills on the regular potrait and dreds are truly delicate, sorry to hear abt them breaking. Hope the fixes will restore it like new. Best of Luck!
Its heart breaking when you open the box with anticipation and something is not right.
I don't switch out the portraits as frequently as I would like to myself, to avoid handling the regular head. Congrats on the purchase.

Mine has no quills either if it makes you feel better. In fact it has half of the paint ripped off with them. A project for a rainy day, I haven't rushed it as I prefer the bio option.

Thanks a bunch for updating.

Damn! Hurts just hearing this.

Yeah - cue scrunched-up "oh-man" face . . .

You would if you saw it, needs an entire repaint really.

Thank you, they are truly delicate as you say. I was so excited about opening this Predator when it arrived, like Christmas, then upon seeing the damage all the glee is gone. I try to avoid handling the regular portrait myself, it's not friendly to grabbing. I hope the guy restores it like new too. I'll post pictures of the job after it's done.
