. . . if your not gonna buy it why come back to talk about the same stuff . . .
It has been scrutinised by 'Predator Professionals' such as Python
ermmmmmmm - Lemmy think - ermmmmmm - NO.
I don't care WHAT they call it - I buy (or don't) based on how something looks (or functions) - not because of some arbitrary label.

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.

I would love to see the "Predator Professionals" collections because I would assume that they will have nothing in it, because every predator statue made has a flaw or two.
While I would never use that silly term, I'll assume I'm included here and simply say that nobody, me included really expects perfection. I have lots of Predator pieces, none are perfect but I love many of them. As for this being a maquette, you're right about what a maquette is Max, but Sideshow seen to use the term in a different manner. Also, the guy behind the project actually wanted to make changes to make it a bit more movie like so it isn't intentionally altered from the character seen on screen.
Explain all the other maquettes SS has released then, such as the P1.
I am by no means trying to start crap. I'm kinda like some of the other guys who say I just want to see it in hand.

ABOUT THIS MAQUETTE
"Hunting season opens again..."
Joining Sideshow's tremendously popular line of Predator film collectibles is the Predator 2 Maquette, commemorating the return of the dreaded hunter in the 1990 sequel of the same name. In town with a few days to kill, the 'City Hunter' has chosen a new location to stalk his prey amidst the sweltering concrete jungle of Los Angeles.
The sequel film introduced fans to a more colorful Predator for the urban setting, and Sideshow's artisans have faithfully hand-painted the vibrant complex skin patterns of the ruthless hunter with unrivaled authenticity.
Fitted with tribal garb and gear comprised of gladiator-like armor, fabric netted body suit, and backpack with medi-kit, the vicious warrior wields his sophisticated yet brutal weapons of choice, including leg cartridge net launcher, razor sharp wrist gauntlets and customary plasma cannon.
Standing over 28 inches tall, in roughly 1:4 scale, the Predator 2 maquette captures every aspect of the cinema icon in a truly unique and customizable display, featuring interchangeable masked and unmasked portraits, and a swap out accessory hand with combi-stick spear.
