Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Generally it seems that the "maquette" label gets put on Alien and Predator creature type licenses more so than any other license. But maquette in general always seems to be more expensive than it's PF counterpart.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

I still cant get a solid answer as to what the difference is between a 1/4 scale Premium format and a 1/4 scale maquette...besides the wording of course...

great question I was getting ready to ask.

It's whatever SS decides to call it
Maybe a $1,200 Maquette sounds better than a $1,200 PF.

sad but I think this is the best answer to the question. I dont see any diffence between this and a big pf? Except the name maquette but it is 1/4 scale.

thats bs...im 90% gonna PO this piece but I'd love an honest answer as to why this is costing double Gladiator Hulk...you cant say its size, as GH is taller, so what makes this piece that much more?? Its a little absurd unless they can answer that question and thats what people (myself included) should know b4 we ***** about prices....unless they come back and say theres no difference then let the *****-fest begin!

this is exactly what I wanted to ask as well. Why the huge price for 1/4 let's say maquette?

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter Maquette

at all the people who swore up and down that this would not be over 1k.


I really want this and am very close to hitting the preorder button...I am just terrified that the paint apps will come out looking like crap.

Sideshow puts it out there, we either order or pass.
I don't think they need to explain anything

Obviously if you'd rather have the money then leave it alone.

This one I will take the money sorry no trouble intended. Just personal preference. I like galactus better anyways for half the price.

Either send it back or smash upon request, simple.

Exactly. What makes a "maquette" $800 better than a PF? I still find it amazing that people will spend so much on collectibles from terrible movies. He does look great, though.

Thats a little short-sighted, no offense...when you buy ANYTHING, you are told why youre paying XYZ...if you go shopping for a car for example, you know why a corvette costs more than a civic (engine, performance, etc)...even a homemade product or what have you, youre given some logic/insight as to why it costs what it does... ESPECIALLY if there is are other comparable products, like for example the Gladiator Hulk PF, (same height), then why is one costing more or less than the other...its not about the money its WHY does this cost more than this thing...is it cheaper material, is it licensing, is it production costs, whatever, just tell me why dont just throw the word "maquette" in their and justify it that way.

I'm right there with you. I keep going back to the order page, but I am worried about the paint.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

If I collected Predator then this piece would probably be a Must Buy. But the price is Crazy!! 799.99 would have been fair. IMO anyways. I just look at that photo above and I don't see a 1200.00 piece. But I am not a Predator Nut like many of you guys are. Hell I guess it' no crazier then when I paid almost 1200.00 for the 36" Bruce/ JAWS maquette by Mile Schultz..... Except that that piece came from the greatest film ever and this one comes from a so so / bad film


But let me say congrats to those who love it and are getting it. I am sure it will look cool in your collection.

if it was 799.99 I may want it. I just don't see a 1200.00 statue either in the pic. again this is only my opinion. im sure for those who can care less about the price. this will be an amazing statue, no question. So maybe apocalypse will be 1200.00 too since he is big.

Technically a Maquette should be bang on as far as detail and likeness go, I imagine that is why the asking price is high. Thread in link should explain more. What Sideshow decide to call some of their pieces is still a bit of a mystery though. https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80829

Congrats to everyone ordering this too! Looks incredible!

Forget that picture. Get a ruler out and imagine this standing infront of you at 28.5"

I hope the paint apps don't look like the bust, no way this is a 1200 dlr piece

But the big base takes up some inches.

Really? It just came on PO?
