Wait a second.

1/5 predator -> $300 for Sideshow
"roughly" 1/4 predator -> $1200 for Sideshow


Terrific math here, yes.


Seriously people, do you think the Premium Format-sized collectible on the pic is $1200 worth?

I know, It's crazy.
Stop reminding me

How much would a P1 Maquette cost now?

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

This was a surprise coming home from work, i just read the last 20 pages which seems to be nothing but price discussions. Here are my thoughts:

1) The original 1/4 predator maquette was $1000, making this statue a 20% price increase over a 4+ year period, which seemed reasonable.

2) The original was made by stan winston studio - the pinnacle of creation. Viggiano Studio is also a very respectable studio, but nothing compares to winston.

3) The exclusive disc is a must imo replacing the empty hand, the breather hand on the flipside i dont care for, i think the regular spear hand looks much better.

4) My strategy will be wait until the edition size for the exclusive is announced, if it is low (<1000) i will order right away, if it is high (>1000) i will just wait for the waitlist as a high priced high es statue will have no problem converting later on.

5) Can we change the discussion towards the statue itself, everything looked good to me but i am not a hardcore predator fan like some of you. You experts notice any inaccuracies or issues with the statue? both masked/unmasked head, body, netting, etc.. ??

reward points of $167 used on predator 2 maquette . yeah

This is a horrible idea please dont do it. By applying $167 reward points on this $1200 statue, you just lost $60 ($1200 * 0.05) worth of reward points coming your way for purchasing this.

It's a favorite trick sideshow uses.

Given that the price is so ridiculously high you can expect it to remain the topic of discussion for some time to come, the statue is very nice despite its flaws, but it isn't $1200 nice.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

I was just thinking the cutting disc must be removable if using the disc in hand. wonder if it's magnets or pins
Agreed Gag, the hand held mask isn't needed but the disc in hand is a must.
Will spear and disc in hand work?

Well this statue is 4.5" taller then the Winston Predator. I think it's equivalent in price point.

Dreads, mask, Spear and crappy base are the most notable ones. It is never the less the most imposing P2 statue available and SS know it... hence the rip off price for a PF!

Said exact same thing few pages back. Tempting, but totally wrong.

I'm very happy with the size.
Think it will display nicely with the CM, Even though this base is much higher. Base design is the biggest let down.

Maquette not PF.
That just means they can add serious $

Yeah sorry... my mistake SS, of course this 1:4 scale statue with various materials is a maquette.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

I don't mind the base, in fact I like it.
Dreads - Yes, however there is always a chance this will be corrected in production.
Mask is not bad, besides, will stay in the box anyway.

I already see this selling for $2k and up as soon as it sells out.

That depends on ES.
I hope they don't take the piss. Simply don't want this to be worth $800 as soon as I open it.
Anyways, Too many threads with ES debates ATM. Let's wait until it's released.

People said the same thing about the Big Chap Maquette, that it'd lose value and that didn't happen.

Doubt it will here.
