Mine just arrived. First impressions are that its a bit lighter in weight than the other masks and the base is nowhere near as heavy as the Predators ones, but just as sturdy. The pictures I've taken are under quite bright light, but the paint job is VERY dark and quite plain looking with very little evidence of weathering effects. The 'holes' on the bottom of the mask look very cheaply sculpted in. The overall piece just lacks a certain wow factor which is disappointing.
It arrived undamaged but it sounds as if there are a number of bits of debris rattling around inside the hollow interior of the mask! It doesn't feel like the high end collectible it should be, not for the money we're paying for these things. I think I will keep hold of it, as its my favourite of the Predator characters, at least until I see what Cool Props has up its sleeve. Otherwise its time to get the clay and sculpting tools out myself!

The mask looks like it warps to the right if you look at it straight on :/
Thanks for the detailed pics Grond29. I currently have the HCG version which in my opinion is the better mask for sculpt, paint and weight...
I'm a little disappointed deep down as I was hoping to be blown away and end up buying one, but I'm not
Going off what you've said about yours.
Still looks like a very cool piece, but one I don't regret not signing up for with SS.

Hmmm, I almost ordered it but might have to hold off now as it's what I feared.. wrong lenses, wrong colour and very little detail paint. A shame, I'd love to see it next to the HCG version.
None of the trademark metallic green splodges??

Yeah, you can see the warping in the prototype pics. I was hoping it might be slightly different in hand but as you can see its still there and its off-putting. It looks pretty cool from a 3/4 angle and in profile. I used a crap load of reward points on this which softened the blow a little. Whilst still a cool piece, I would say its not worth the full price tag.
I don't mind the lenses so much, but the paint is very flat looking. On closer inspection there are tiny flecks of green deep in some of the texture but you really have to have it right in front of you to see it.

Congrats! Looks pretty cool. The base is awesome and I like the hanging slots better than the felt covered holes.
Pity you're not happier with it for the money involved.
It is a funny shape straight on but looks symmetrical from above

Just called sideshow to have them charge my last payment a bit early.. Liking the looks of this one... But now I'm wondering where all the naysayers are at...

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...

One reply on the statue forum thread, nobody seems to care about this one and all of the flaws have been pointed out so no point people returning now to mention them again, the Naysayers have shrugged and moved on then. I'm a huge P2 fan as most will know, I wanted to love this, but it isn't easy. Base is great though.
I'm considering getting it in the knowledge that it will require a full metallic repaint and a lens mod for me to be happy with it, the warping is annoying though.
Might just wait and see what coolprops does for now.

that sucks, if i do get it, i prob repaint it, and add correct lenses
Looks better than I expected, but still not good enough IMO.
