Predator 1 Bio Mask

[Python]

The Wolf bio has long been known to be by far the best, and it goes for huge prices on the secondary market, I love mine. The AVP masks were awful, a punch in the nuts in fact from Sideshow and ADI with all the lazy lens issues and the horrible QC. I could rant for hours about how bad they were but things seem to have improved a lot quality wise lately if you ignore the Elder (Another ADI design) the broken P1 from Predators looked to be of a pretty high quality, as did the Berserker and Tracker. Hopefully SS will come through with this one. The fact they went straight to the source and hired Matt Rose is a sign they had very good intentions for this one I'd say, if anybody has the right to re-sculpt the P1 and say it feels right it is him. They obviously wanted this to be as accurate as possible without having access to the original. A shame the P2 wasn't given the same treatment. The price is what it is, they are going up accross the board as we all know, time to be more picky with what we buy.... And for me a nice looking P1 bio is a no brainier.

And as Verbal21 said, this will gain value, it is a P1 bio sculpted by Matt rose with an ES of just 500. I'm more than willing to give this one a chance in person. I just hope those lenses aren't painted underneath that outer mesh.

30 left.

Less than 20, getting low now.

Last 10 apparently...

Not falling for that anymore. If people are getting their WL's converted on the Alien LSB's, there'll be plenty of conversions for this too. With the masked Predator LSB now available, I'd imagine there would be a lot less people interested in this now.

 

[Python]

No, me neither, at least the ES on this one has been announced for some time however. I don't think the LSB will impact this too much as they are very different items, I have both on order. I do think the dome on this is far too flat however...

I think its fine

Here the dome looks fine..but the mouth looks a little bit too big...but in the second pic the Predator is looking up and not direct front like the SS promopic..:

Eyes are too low set and on the wrong angle by the looks of it. Still pretty good, but I'm sticking with my HCG for now

Yeah it looks okay from there, but from most angles it looks a bit flat, I like it otherwise although I do wish the lenses were much darker silver, almost black. It would have helped if there was a side on picture of it but we didn't get one for this mask. I like it but if I had the HCG version, I wouldn't feel inclined to buy this one unless space was an issue and a wall mountable bio preferred.

I think when I have mine in hand I will build refelective lensematerial in my P1 mask...like the HCG one.And when I´m not happy with the look I will sculpt the flaws away and repaint it.But I think the SS P1 looks good enough to buy one.Not like the terrible SS Predator 2 helmet...that I really don´t like.

Another point is,that we can make a lot better pics at home with the correct angles like on the movieshots.The SS Promopics are not so good for comparisons.The predator looks up and down in the movie...and on the stand the mask is attached.
Its the same like a Darth Vader helmet...the position of the head and the distance to the cameralense is the key for the look on pics.

please keep this in mind when you start

Decided to give this a shot and see how it turns out in hand. I used the expiring today $20 coupon. I was going to use it on the LSB, but it is not low quantity so I will wait on that one. As soon as my order went through it went to checking and now it is on waitlist. Seems I got the last one.

 

[Python]

So it is, can't even find it on the site now unless I sign in and use my order history.

 

[mr.thrifty]

It'll be back up in a day or so with less then 20 remaining...

possibly, but this has been on low quantity for a while now

 

[mr.thrifty]

Well.. I just got on the wait list... Want to guess on when it converts?

 

[Python]

I think you'll have one set aside already, just depends on when they get around to converting them. I was on the Engineer waitlist for a couple of months first time around with no luck, I cancelled it. When I rejoined the wait list only last month it converted in two days!

 

[mr.thrifty]

I'm sure... Wait for that email on Mon. or Tues.

 

[Hed_Honcho]

Zavvi cancelled my order stating there was no stock left from sideshow

Will have to source one elsewhere
