Was that painted by Narin himself? That looks excellent, I just wish it was bigger.

Nah - by the dude on the link.

It's a big beastie - about 1/5 I'd guess.

Interesting. I was under the impression it was 1/6. I might have to look into getting one.

The standard label for Narin's stuff is 1/6, but a lot of his sculpts are a bit on the "larger" side.

Maybe this will help - 17 3/4" (44.5cm) including base - so (after removing the base) this is closer to 1/5 than 1/6 (unless my brain cell is futzed again).

. . . and here's the base & alternate head (wow!)

I think that the Berserker is supposed to be taller than regular Preds - he should be around 240cm, removing the base he's around 40-41cm in that pic so this would make him 1:6.
Watched Predators right yesterday... I never looked into the Berserker, talking about design, proportions and so on... but after doing it, I really find him uninspired. The only one of the 3 "super" Preds that I like seems to be the Falconer, and he's very similar to a regular Pred.
In my charts, City Hunter still reigns as the best design, followed by the Jungle Hunter and, with more distance, the Wolf.

One character I'd like to see in statue forum is Noland. Really a nice design for a human in salvaged Yautja gear and would pair greatly with Machiko PF. Especially if you put a severed Predator head on the base.

Once you allow for the angle of the head and the legs being akimbo, it's closer to 1/5.

But who gives a crap - it's a BIG bugger

Agree with your placement of movie Pred preferences - but many of Narins beat even those 3 (for me).

Yeah, Narin does have a lot of original and exotic designs I really like. Only thing is that all damn Predators are so expensive that I need a nostalgic feeling to justify the expense... and this basically reduces my "to buy" list just to City and Jungle Hunter

Narin is THE Predator sculpting God - the only person ever to have improved on Stan's original P1 & P2 designs, and the very best at getting accurate movie likenesses. I owe him an email so I'll let you know if there's an update (he's been busy working on non-Pred stuff lately).

.

I can't argue that. I'd like an update on that 1/3 P2 as well. Thanks HMS.

Where did you get that? Looks like the lean in that old leaked pic wasn't a one off.... netting looks ****e also.

Thank god they didn't send that out. $1,200?

the source hasn't been identified as of yet but this pic inparticular got leaked on facebook not long ago...basically, the majority feedback coming in from looking at this pic is that it doesn't look like a $1200 statue

It certainly doesn't, I'd have sent it back before I even finished sighing! SSC made the right decision here for sure...

Wow good job it got cancelled!!! Looks ridiculous

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

From what I can make out the paint doesn't look too bad, as a whole it looks awful.

When compared to that ... wow! Just..... wow!

I don't think his teeth are the problem. It's his equilibrium!
