Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

This is too bad since the only relevant Predators to me are the original and the City Hunter.
Original is now very expensive and I'm not crazy fond of the pose, this City Hunter... well, it comes with a lot of inaccuracies, once I pile up all the little details, it gets too much for a 1200$ piece.
Between the two, I'd rather buy none and use their combined money to buy a single, *****ktastic Cinemaquette Predator, eventually.

Only other significant Predator I could fancy is the Berserker, mostly due to the "cool" factor - different wrist blade, awesome biomask and particular unmasked head sculpt. But no real affection to the character, would be a difficult purchase.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

i ordered but believe me if it doesn't come out pristine, for this price, it will get returned with no hesitation on my part…its not a PF and for this price I expect perfection; from XM, and I expect it from SS. Anything less and they can send me a prepaid returning label.

Not relevant enough imho, with his screen time.
Just rewatched a few bits of Predators, actually the Berserker looks quite skinny, never took a good look at him but his proportions seem off.

Maybe due to the extra large head on the super preds? I only have the bust, skull, and bio left. I sold my Hot toy and Maquette, but don't remember him being "skinny", if anything the supers were very muscular.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Pretty much cancelled!!!


Thank you for placing a pre-order with us for a Predator 2 Maquette. We appreciate the patience that you have afforded us during the manufacturing process of this item. Over the past six months our teams have put a high emphasis on quality control so that the final presentation is the best representation of our creative objective. When we have identified that an item is not meeting our standards in the production process it's our policy to halt manufacturing in order to address any concerns.

At this time, we have made a difficult decision to halt the production of the Predator 2 Maquette because we are unsatisfied with the quality. Rather than move the delivery date out again, we are electing to completely remove the item from our website with the intention of reintroducing it at a later time. Because of this, your order is being canceled and your deposit or any payment toward the Predator is being refunded in full. We’ll send you an email notification when your refund has been posted.

However, we will retain your order information in-house and contact you first via email with an offer to rebook a Predator before it is listed on our site. We expect the solicitation to be within the next 3 – 4 months and the delivery of the finished item by the end of the year.

It’s unfortunate and awkward for us to be this delayed, but we’d rather not ship an item that we feel can be done better, especially for Predator fans. This license is very important to us and we will continue to work on developing new Predator products for many years to come.

Thank you for your patience and patronage of Sideshow. We apologize for disappointing you with this news and hopefully we can wow you when we provide the delivery of the finished product.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Probably due to seeing him near to Adrien Brody. Knowing that Brody is not big at all, I found the Berserker quite average. Also read somewhere right now that the original guy playing the Predator and the City Hunter was 220cm, while the Berserker is only 195cm.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Oh ****. Well, hopefully they fix everything and pick a decent base.

Maybe ask them to apply it to another order instead.

I asked for my BC refund to be added to a pre-order and they wouldn't do it.
Worth asking I suppose.

My whole P1/P2 display plan has just gone **** up!

Alien, I don't think so. They Just announced the Space Jockey.
Predator, it would be great. It's about time for someone else to grab the license, someone that cares in what they do.
Jerry from PCS started a poll for 1:3 lines, and Alien is included in the poll, lots of people requesting Predator too.
1:3 Predator by PCS >>>>> anything Predator by Sideshow.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette (CANCELLED!... For now)

Fingers crossed for Machiko and Masked Hunters future.

Hope they read this thread and adjust accordingly. I will be all in if they do it right.
