Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Yeah, you have to look at the regular page for it now, the EX page just says sold out with little added info. Still Feb for now but I honestly wouldn't be bothered by another delay as long as the final product impresses.

That's the P2 Maquette leaning or propped in the corner.

Where is that picture from?

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

So XM are working on the P2?

Looks like a Gladiator Hulk, without shield, next to it. I'm confused.
Looks like the P2... Same factory?

Did they take an XM piece to the SS factory to show them how well these could be painted?

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

XM post alot of production pics of their statues at the factory on FB and on SF. All the companies use basically the same factories. As I understand it the quality difference comes from the pay scale of the factory workers plus the oversight by XM to ensure a top notch product. I've seen SS and PCS statues in the background of some of the factory pics XM posted up.

If the factory that produced G Hulk is doing the P2 I'll still have hope

The factory that made Apoc and BC needs dropping.

wow, BW looks great. That P2 on the other hand, hopefully the ones you guys get aren't leaning like that

My Flex payments resumed today for this guy after the delay. Not sure what to expect after recent arrivals but I'm cautiously excited.

I'm now at the point where I don't know whether to cancel & lose the NRD or just wait for it to turn up, ship it back (somethings BOUND to be wrong with it) and lose out on the exchange rate.

So fed up with Sideshow and their crappy excuse for a business.

I am foolishly keeping the faith, I really hope they deliver on this

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

I'd be very worried. @ $1,200 I'd be super critical which could end in tears.

Fingers crossed for you guys.

I have considered these options myself again lately if I'm honest, but then I look at the pictures and I think this could actually be awesome if it does turn up as one of the good production pieces. I have come to the conclusion giving it a go is definitely the best option for me, if it does turn up like one of my last three items, it will go back quicker than a cheetah with a caffeine addiction. But if not, we may be well rewarded for having a bit of faith. I do suspect this one will be like the Engineer maquette, the legs are crap on that frankly due to the ugly fused blobs where they meet, but get it in the right position to hide them and it is nothing short of a masterpiece, it is also pretty much spot on to the prototype so lets hope I'm still comparing the two in February.

I suspect this will be available for quite some time, if it is awesome, flex it helped me no end paying for this one, a one off $1600 payment would have made me cry I think, but over 7 or 8 payments I haven't really felt a sting.
