Predator diorama

[Malice]

For low budget, I don't think you'll ever beat this for a cool P1 statue, sure CM and Sideshow 1/4 are great, but also pricey, this is an affordable consolation prize.

that what i tell myself when i look at the CM.

I sold my 1/4 pred reg and exclusive and I am not disappointed. I am a predator fan but not a $2000 predator fan. I really like all the detail they squeezed into a piece this size. It's goes great with my Alien dio which I absolutely love. Funny I like the second movie the best but the 1st dio. The first dio just screams ALIEN to me with it hiding in plain sight amongst the walls. Through out all the movies that is one thing that never changed.

Now Terminator........ While not a $6000 fan I am deff a multiple thousand dollar fan.

I want a predator maquette so bad but I am not paying 2k for it and i am sure as hell not paying 3k for CM maquette.

I rather save and get 1:1 endo combat.

I thought the CM Maquette was only 2K?? Did it go up in price?? When I POed it from BBTS it was only 2K.

Predator Maquette is one of the most valuable after market pieces I've seen from Sideshow. Fetches real good money out there over original price.

Anyone else have issue with getting the laser canon locked into place and come up with a solution other than cutting off the rounded peg cuz I don't wnat to do anything that permanent.

I couldn't agree more MF. To me these dios capture the movies feel, look, and overall tone of their respective films without actually being any specific recreation of a shot from the movie(s). I just wish the SW ones were just as awesome, but the Vader is tempting.

Well, the Star Wars dios definitely take a much different approach, they try to capture and exact frozen moment from the film, with slight interpretation. These Alien and Pred pieces really are about showcasing the creature, summing up their presence in each film, and throwing that against an environment reflective of the movie one, but they're not about creating scenes at all. I like the different approaches, I think the maquette thrown in an environment approach of these dios is great for their subject. Sure Predator vs Dutch dio would be cool, but nothing wrong with just the Predator caught in a cool pose at all.

I will try to have film up sometime today.

This thing is not camera shy at all.

Sorry to be a reposter, but hoping to get this resolved so I can really enjoy this thing, kinda sucks without it at the moment.

Well...I FINALLY got my Sideshow Ex. Predator Dio today. After the incredibly long wait for SS (and missing the first delivery attempt), I can say it was worth the wait.

VERY cool sculpt and some great paint apps. The exclusive alternate head is alot better than I thought it would be.

Sideshow also threw in a $20 gift card in the box. Not sure why...but I'll take it.

On to the pics...
