. . . And with that I'll stop pestering this thread. Hans Gruber has left the building... vertically... and at speed . . .

Best to get him now anyway as you may still get a P1 down the line yet I like this P2 for all of the grief we've given it, It is just disheartening knowing how much better it could have been. I think when that massive box arrives some disappointment will vanish... I hope.

Don't forget it's only 1:4 with a deep base, box ain't gonna be massive.
Still charge you over $100 to ship it though

I was looking at in stock items to get an idea of shipping charges and prices have more than doubled recently.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

It is going to be pretty massive when it comes to finding a place to store it Big enough I'm sure, the P1 had a pretty huge box. And yeah I did that myself, some of the shipping costs are shocking. Still slightly cheaper than buying elsewhere though, I got the HCG P2 bio from a guy in the USA recently, that cost me $120 to ship...

Some good news with regards to this one just to raise a very quiet thread, I assumed it didn't include one but a stand for the spare head has been confirmed, always a handy feature.

Thanks for the info Matt.
'Bout time there was some good news regarding this piece.
(Quills now please SS)

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

A portrait stand is cool, but it makes me think why they didn't use that time and effort where it is needed? Improved biomask, quills, and a larger combi-stick I think would have been much better use of their time and resources. I know I'm not alone in saying, I would gladly exchange the stand for just one of those.

Still, there's time. We'll just have to wait and see.

Yes, stand is a nice addition, but hopefully not a smoke screen to make us forget about the main problems.

A step in the right direction with the stand

I don't think it is a smoke screen at all. Mr Igo from Sideshow came out very openly and honestly about the P2 maquette some time back so no smoke screens required really, I don't think people would be swayed by a stand at any rate. There could of course have been bigger changes and extra bits but this is just a nice little positive addition, so lets just take it as one.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

I'm happy with a stand and hope they add quills. Easy fix that's much needed, he looks almost bald without them.

The other issues were never going to be addressed unfortunately.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Yeah, you could add some using toothbrush bristles or something similar but it would take a brave person to rill into the head of a $1200 statue multiple times

Not me. You won't find me drilling any of my collectibles.
I'm not talented enough to take on that project.

And there is no excuse for needing to on a $1200 figure. I want to like it as is, just can't. So much wasted potential.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Thanks for the news - 1 issue down, about a dozen to go - shame it's the only one we could have rectified ourselves

How did you find out @Py?

Seeing as Matt has signed off I'll answer HMS.

Igo told him

Easy job adding quills, no drilling - Get a pack of thin wooden toothpicks, and use their tips as quills.
Just a tiny dab of glue, stick it on. Done.

Slightest knock and they come off with a chunk of paint

This bare faced beast NEEDS quills!
