Prop Predator 2 'City Hunter' Mask Prop Replica

[mr.thrifty]

Doesn't seem to be much interest in this at all.

I've just got the laptop out and it looks very nice.
I don't really collect bios and will stick with my Berserker only.

This would really bug me though...

That would get it sent right back!!

The more I look at it the more warped it looks

 

[mr.thrifty]

Yeah.. That is a bit wonky.. Could all be the pic..

one thing I know is what to expect from sideshow with their bios.. The same old complaints show up every release.. Lack of paint depth and some certain "accuracies" ... I've let those things go awhile ago so I can appreciate all of the bios I have.. Only missing the bone grill and one other I think.. Can't even remember which one...

That's to be expected with SS's bios. The Entire AvP trio was warped, and I know more have been since.

The paint on this came out better than expected, but not enough to tempt me to purchase.

Case in point....

Well it's true.

Has anybody got a picture of the inside of this mask? I'm wondering if the lenses are easily accessed like on the prototype or if they have been filled in on production pieces?

 

[mr.thrifty]

Anyone else get this in yet?

 

[mr.thrifty]

Looks like there's two of us... Just got this in and overall I'm liking it!! Gonna go well with all the others.. Looks like that slightly lifted side of the disk is a production issue as mine has it also, so I'm not sure what sending it back will accomplish. Mine has a lil scratch by one of the eye holes that was bugging me but overall it's great! So on with a few crappy pics..

Oh, and for who was asking if you can get to the lenses.. Yes you can. So replacing them for someone would be really easy...

Congrats thrifty!
Can't believe they couldn't get the base level

 

[j97e1]

I think the base was done that way on purpose. I have the disk prop replica, and when it's in closed position, the tips overlap each other, thus, when in open position, they are not at all leveled. If the back of the base have the same raised tip, then it is accurate to the actual shape of the disk.
Now, whether it's esthetically pleasing or not is a totally different question

 

[Collectorcol]

Now that makes sense if the right side overlaps on closing

Thanks man! I don't think too many folks collect these bios.. #11 for me though...

 

[Python]

Hairdryer might fix that if it annoyed you Col. Good news on the lenses being easily accessible. I might pick this up down the line, doesn't see like there is much of a rush though going on the three sold on here... and none over on SF.

Thanks man! I don't think too many folks collect these bios..

I do, can't say I've always been impressed with the production pieces however. THE HCG P2 is my favorite by far. Have the P1 coming from SSC in a few weeks.

 

[mr.thrifty]

The P1 bio is shipping in a few?

Not confirmed, but it's a December release so could be shipping in less than two weeks. You ordered?

 

[mr.thrifty]

Yessir!

I love life-size bios. Honestly they'd probably be the biggest part of my collection if Sideshow's quality was better.

 

[Python]

Has anybody had this next to the HCG stunt version yet? I'm curios to see the size difference etc given that the hero was larger.

Burgerman? Come on!.. Doesn't it get a bit old with the SS quality comments? I mean.. Are they perfect? No! Could you have ones custom made? Sure! Do you? No!

How many sideshow predator bios do you currently own?
