Statue Predator 2 Legendary Scale Bust

[Empir3]

Unlucky man!
Yours is probably the best I've seen yet but the chip on the shoulder is bad.

Yea I always seem to have **** luck with QC :\. Its gotta be like 90 percent of the stuff i get from them at this point has some issue one way or another.

I try to convince myself that this bust looks good but i cant, this is the hardest predator to paint but daaaaaam, ss is not even close

Glad to hear you received it but those paint chips are a big fail for Sideshow, it's going from bad to worse!
Are you going to return him or happy to get credit from Sideshow?

Im hoping they will swap it out really. If they cant its gonna depend how much they offer me in credit off. I can paint so i can most likely make the spots look better but i shouldn't have to. Its a real shame because I really like the piece and the P2 is my fav pred

If they swap it out you might get one where the triangles arent as aligned with the lines. that's something u might wanna consider.

I've only spent 5 mins checking it before returning it to the box, really busy now a days but....

I really like mine! I think the paint flaws gives it character!

The dots that stop half way and look at those eyes! They look totally in line!

White spots and black spots that no amount of cleaning I could get rid of gives off that "battle damage look" lol

Paint chip at the edge:

Kinda like the grey paint stripe and the black paint residue, gives it a unique look:

And how the two bottom lines are not in line, gives it a more natural look too!

But my favourite part was probably how the eyes are not in line. Shows that predators aren't perfect too. hehe

so sorry for that bro I would love to take your bust and drop it from the 90th store straight to the head(s) of the so called QC team.

So much FAIL...

I think it's a little pricey for that bust,but it does still look great.I woukd pick one up before there gone.Mine has a few paint apps but it doesnt take away from the look of it.

wow Freak Zombie, thats got to be the worse one so far!
The miss aligned eyes, paint chips, the forehead (black) paint is way off & the dreaded triangles are just a horror!!!
Return it mate & get your money back buddy, I made a video of my one if you would like to check it out:

lol, what? I thought mine was just the "battle damaged version" lol
And I thought he was just one of those unique predators with misaligned eyes! It happens to humans, I'm sure it can happen for predators too....although that wouldn't really make them that great of a hunter I would think. lol

Sigh, normally I can live with a partial refund but it looks like this might be the first piece I want to get a replacement for. The misaligned eyes kill it for me.

Get in touch with them & tell them your bust has a missing quill, they should be able to help you out with this one!
Are you happy with the bust?

Of course,your product is missing an item,they should replace it or send the missing quill.

Hope they send me spare quill! I just opened it up did quick inspection. Took it under the spot light & the forehead is bit glossy (reflective), the triangles seems aligned so the touch up can be easier, the paint is decent in the first half, cheap looking in the upper half.
If I don't already own the P1 bust & saw this in the LCS, I probably will pass. All & all I give it 7/10. But since I have the first bust they will compliment each other nicely.

But this is all my first impression! My feedback might change (for the good or bad) once I display it in his spot in my mancave next to P1.

 

[mr.thrifty]

Seems hit or miss... Depending on the camera used... Gonna call on Monday and have the last payment charged.... I'm still in the game........

 

[Hemooo]

had a closer look today, small QC issues here & there (most of them already posted here). I think Sideshow didn't give this piece the attention it deserve, missed opportunity to make this a masterpiece. having said that, I forgot about these issues once displaying them together, they look great together!
the scale looks fine, he have bigger forehead & the head position/angel makes it worse. at least this is the way I see it. not perfect, but a keeper for sure.
