Yes, we need someone who actually cares about getting it to look good and delivering on a good finished product, even if they don't particularly like the license. SS can do it, but it seems for some reason they don't want to.

I honestly think at this point the best thing that could happen would be for Sideshow to lose the license for Predator, at least as far as the rights to produce 1:1 scale replicas.
They've shown over and over again that they either lack the passion, or the skill required to pull it off. Not sure which is worse.
These most recent masks are full of defects, lousy paint jobs, rough castings, and cheap corner/cutting choices. (I only recently found out about those Scar Predator masks... Paper lenses?? Wow!)
I understand Sideshow is one of the companies camping on the Alien and Predator license and keeping others from taking a shot at it. That is a damn shame.
I could only imagine what we could see from a hungry and passionate company like Chonicle Collectibles. Seeing the way they are handling the Tippett Robocop replicas and the Stargate props... Imagine the same quality, passion and artistry put into Alien and Predator.
Damn shame.
Did you ever seen a prop from Chronicle in hand?The prototypes are also nice from sideshow!
I´ve seen an interesting detail on my Wolfmask.Sideshow glued little plasticparts on the magnetic block.I think its to hold the mask in shape on the base.

Yeah Cain. Sideshow aint even in the same league. Sideshow just cant do predators their inhouse sculpters can only supply a basic sculpt of the character and their painters just cant deliver. Time to let someone else have a crack at it while they concentrate on cotd

Is Cain just released?On the Chronicle webside its for preorder.
We must talk about the retailversions and not the prototypes on photos and conventions.
From what I know the Chroniclepieces are made by Toynami/HCG(Manufacturer/Distributor)...and not Phil Tippett himself.
So what you will become for your 1300$ can look very different from the Promopics!

Not sure if links to other forums are allowed, but here you go. Chronicle have most certainly put their money where their mouth is... This is a retail version.

Yep, there you go.
And the photos of the Terror Dog from the factory look just as perfect.
So far they are delivering what they promise, and then some.
Can't wait for my Terror Dog to arrive.

Glad you like it, does it connect to the base properly? It looks pretty level.

It connects to the base perfectly no issues!
Looks great with the other pieces just need the Predator Maquette to go next to it now.
But seen as I've been scammed twice for one and there's non for sale anywhere... It'll be a long wait. :/ DAMN!!!! Really want it!

I have the EX, me and the mrs are saving as much as we can, planning on moving in two years, and given I spent a fair whack of my savings on him I may have to let him and a few other pieces go when the time comes. I won't though if I can get away with it... In fact I probably won't either way haha.
By then the Narin P1 1/2 or 1/3 should be out hopefully.
