Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

If this came with a King Willie head it would have been sold out day 1!

I agree, the tried and trusted one knee up actually does us a favor for once since most Predator statue's that have attempted something else have failed. The only dynamic pose I like is the Wolf LS. I'm not fond of the P1 stance but I can appreciate the Cinemaquette. The 1/5 line stances are mostly horrid.

It surprises me no one ever went for the classic arms wide open bent over roar stance, since that's pretty much THE iconic pose for Predator IMO.

As for Sideshow I don't think they've learned that fans actually like simplicity. Superman doesn't need red twirls coming out of his eye's, or a stupid curling fist pose. The best statue's are often the one's with a strong but simple pose. They always try and do something when most of the time doing nothing would have been just fine.

As for bases they are hit and miss. I love the Keaton Batman base. This base is a bit ..meh but it's not terrible, just not worth talking about.

No, that's just rubbish lol...

This though would be like printing money if somebody did it right...



If I had the talent I would make a display stand for the C.O.H based on the pillar design.

Just go for it, play around. What is the worst that can happen. I might have a go at that one myself as well.


Edit: Actually, looking again it might be easier said than done lol..



Alternate base ;)

Yeh. That mandible thing, the paint and the terrible lack of QC you get out of a shed are things to worry about.
To be honest it would have to be really cheap, the sculpt isn't even that good.
 
Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Love those Dios...

They yours Matt?

Yeah, the P2 broke however and as I'd only had it a short while I returned it, there were no replacements available which sucked, I really do need to replace it. Great little statues.

I maintain that that little inexpensive statue is more representative of the P2 than the $1200 maquette which is weird, and unfortunate. And the P1 is just great.
 
Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

I'm not complaining. If I don't like it when it finally arrives then it goes back. If I like it... it stays. :)
 
Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

idk to me the base makes sure the focus is on the predator..i don't mind it or feel a certain way about it the way some do..it doesn't blow me and I'm not like oh wow..but i definitely wouldn't say that it detracts from the statue..its just simple, and allows all the focus to go to predator…and for $1200, every single detail should stand out, which it does..short *** spear and all
 
Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

See...You're getting excited now! :yess:

Haha, I'm really trying to, I'm just thinking how easy it would be for them to just nip the ends off of these dreads during production, or drill deeper holes for them to push in too... biggest problem solved.

Could be done if you are feeling brave when it arrives lol
 
Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Yeah, but it would be soooo much easier for SS to just do it now... I don't feel like sawing up a $1200 statue myself lol.
 
Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

I certainly won't be messing about with mine, distinct lack of skillz yo! :lol The dreads don't overly bother me though so am cool :)
 
Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

I'm excited about this! I think I will put it on a pedestal. Anyone have a link for custom acrylic display cases in the U.S.? I will need to get one made for this.
