Yeah, there's quite a few of us here waiting the announcement on what kind of damage this will do on our wallets.

When that news comes, we're all gonna feel like the little guy in your signature...

Or perhaps the Sideshow P2 maquette will be a fantastic piece even with its flaws-just like the Michael Keaton Bats that got so much hate before it being released because of it's movie inaccuracies such as the turned head, the pose, etc. just saying.... I followed that thread too and man early on it had so much negativity and now it's a must have; interesting I thought as this piece is getting a similar early reaction.

I'm keeping my order on this one and again reserving judgment until in hand. And even if it's not a great (grail)and accurate movie piece it will be a very very nice piece nonetheless. I think anything better and pricier coming out will likely be out of my own personal price range anyway; so I think I'll be okay with quill-less less movie accurate biomasked, short spear, weird teeth stand design, and slight leaning pose Predator 2 just as I'm happy with my movie inaccurate Michael Keaton Batman.

Happy Collecting!

Happy you can overlook the bald face, I can't.

Dreads, Spear, Bio and base don't bother me as much.

Head with Quills = Purchase
Bald Face = No Purchase

Same opinion as Col with regards to the latter issues.

Hope you enjoy it Max. I mean that. It would just look unfinished to me every time I look at it.

It's an interesting detail to be left out, I agree;however, I'd be more upset about that detail left out on a 1:1 or even 1/2 scale piece/bust as it would be hugely noticeable. Looking forward to receiving it though and making a video of it.

Thanks man! I understand how you feel. It will be nice to see what Prime has in store for this franchise, if anything.

The quills will be added to mines by a buddy. Shipping it out the same day I receive this baby. Like most say the bio and base doesn't bother me as much. But the spear is kinda annoying but I can deal.

I don't mind paying a little extra for it to be customized because " PRIME 1 HASN'T SHOWN [emoji90] YET".
I mean no one else is making predator stuff, so I can start saving when they show something in 3 years. I mean if they gave a damn about predator like you guys are reaching for they would have shown a WIP picture.


Prime 1
1. Batman
2. Transformers G1
3. More batman
4. Azrael
5. Bloodborne

6. Noooooo Predator yet[emoji41]

I'm really surprised the quills are so many peoples biggest issue, they are an easy fix. The bio is the P2's most unique feature and isn't represented on this very well a all. It is by far my biggest grievance, along with the wacky dreads. But each to their own of course. I'm still torn, I think the decals were the final straw for me though. He's in the coming soon list now, so no reason not to wait it out now and see how it looks in hand..

I'll be seriously impressed if anyone can drill out all the holes for the quills and not **** it up.

It wouldn't be that hard for anybody with any amount of moderate modelling skill. For those who understandably don't want to de-face a $1200+ statue, there would be easier solutions though, such as just gluing some on. Or even just using a temporary sticky material which should hold them well enough for display and could be re-attached as needed. I am of course in no way making light of their absence, they should most definitely be there and it boggles the mind as to why they aren't... I just think that issue pales in comparison to the bigger ones that can't be altered without huge risk/effort.

Answer is guys...
At 1200+ it shouldn't need amending. End of really. The fact that people are buying this from a 'professional' Collectible company who really strive to create quality, accurate pieces... :/
We should be buying this and saying... It's spot on! Not...
As soon as it ships in I'm shipping it out to get amended lmao!

You can also say the same thing about plenty of other statues that are released. Yes 1200 is a lot of dough but you get to choose how you want to spend your own money.

We all have repeated how much you dislike the statue flaws numerous of time in the thread and nothing has changed. So if your not gonna buy it why come back to talk about the same stuff LMAO.

As soon as a person fixes all the flaws your gonna say bad *** this is what sideshow should have done in the beginning and a person shouldn't have to amend a 1200 statue.

Firefly...

The problem with forum text is that it can be read in any manner. Especially given the persons current mood at the point of reading.
I am in no way repeating myself on the same topic by initiating the complaints. I am merely replying to fellow freaks comments who are also replying to other comments. It's a discussion forum lol! Given that this particular thread has been a read 'sore' and rightly so...
The fact is we can indeed all spend our money how we like and others can spend more than others, however that isn't what's been stated...
The financial commitment to this piece is a big factor but not the main.
The major fact is that this piece should of sold out straight away... Given that it was relatively movie accurate lol. However... It's not. It has been scrutinised by 'Predator Professionals' such as Python, Collectorcol and me I'd like to think... And after dissecting a statue that has had more time than any other statue to produce... Well... WTF happened. Who actually signed off the spear, the bald face, the bio, the dreads etc etc...

So in short Firefly... I / we do not want to spoil your excitement for this piece in any way, shape or form. Just having an aggravated moan at what should be right on this piece and easily fixed by sideshow... Especially with them pulling the original release.

That's all mate.
