Predator 2 Lifesize bust (Coolprops)

[Charled4400]

I have only noticed 1 flaw on his turtleneck under the chin, a tiny area of black paint is missing or was rubbed off, it can be touched up easily though. Other than that i do believe i got a good one. No googley eyes or crooked teeth or anything else i noticed. Cardboard box was damaged and inside box (something ripped through it) but statue was fine. I dont really care about the box damage though as i keep but dont collect the boxes. Box gets shipped to storage room, ive got no place in my housr for this packaging!

Glad yours turned up (mostly) intact and that you are happy with it Charles

Went over mine with a torch to check things a bit more carefully. Not too bad. If you look under the chin (on each side) there is a gap / seam-line between the inside of the front dreds and the chest armour / back dreds. Shows how they cast/assembled the piece. Totally non-visible unless you crouch down with a bright light

And....it gets even worse. Noticed a hole in the cheek /mouthView attachment 302342

Yup, that's a hole.

Nothing major but my concern would be the paint around it could be very brittle.

Well, that along with the pink paint smear on the forehead means it's going back

Is that a paint chip between his eyes too?

Yeah, it's a pain keeping this box here, but I can't fathom paying $1300 for this item. I can live with a paint flaw on the dreads or side, but definitely not on the forehead. I've emailed them this weekend, just waiting to hear back from them. I really want this bust, but one a little more perfect.

All night????
You are confusing me with Sideshow's EXCELLENT AND PROMPT Customer Service crew.

You mean the one that never answered the phone yesterday morning, even after pressing 0 after the prompt 7 times until I finally left a message like the machine asked?... to have yet receive a call back?

that one?...

Got mine, shipping turned into a fiasco, but I'll forget that ever happened.

It's got crazy presence, I'm stoked. One tooth is slightly crooked, but I don't care - other than that it's looking good.

Seriously? - maybe for the mouth issue, but the paint on the crown - wow!

Yup, I may just keep it and have it repainted. It's going to be a pain to send this thing back. I mean, I can't even fit this box in my car, and will have to rely on UPS to schedule a pickup, smh
