Predator Jungle Hunter bust 1/3 - Prime 1

[Python]

It occurs to me that this little guy might warrant it's own thread. The 1/3 statue gains so much attention that pics and discussion of the bust might get lost in that huge tread. Plus there will no doubt be plenty of people out there who will only want the bust, not the full statue. Personally I have the statue on order, and I think that the "Suspicious" head from this bust improves it even further, but I also think that this bust is an awesome looking collectible in its own right. I'll be grabbing this, and I'll switch between the movie mask and the new unmasked head on it depending which one is on the main statue at the time. I almost hope that this comes out before the main statue so that we can get an indication of the quality to expect on that rather expensive investment.

Details are sparse for now, no price etc. Although it looks like there will be four options, including a tribute to the damaged ask from "Predators". If Prime 1 can match the paint and weathering on these, they will be unbelievable, but it's a big ask.

I'll cancel the full statue if the paint app turns out underwhelming, but just may keep my order for this bust as it'll be easier to have repainted. Some form of this immaculate sculpt must be in the collection and a smaller piece like this is a great way to ensure that. I wish they did the same with their Alien stuff.

The sculpt is fantastic. It deserves a top paint job.

Well, we don't have too long to wait for it. It's up tomorrow.

Still trying to understand what they mean by limited version?

Will there be 4 buying options available or are the extra heads in the one set?

I wonder what limited means? What will the edition size be, and will other retailers like Sideshow be selling this? I would rather not order direct from Prime1.

That sculpt is fantastic! Would be a shame if it's extremely limited.

 

[Goonsack Steve]

Im personally hoping its edition size is 999. Match the DXS

I love the close mouth sculpt but it will depend on the price. I might end up passing on it if its too high....

I wonder what limited means?

Take note of how the limited version has an extended medipack to the rear (plus internal detail) I guess that's what makes it the limited version.

I'm kinda pi$$ed off that they made th med kit exclusive. It looks so cool but can only get it from the bust. I could somewhat live without a closed mouth portrait, but now it's the portrait AND the med kit, a punch in the sack lol.

 

[Rotfish]

The limited closed-mouth bust (with exclusive medkit) will not be available on Sideshow, according to a comment from Prime 1.

 

[greygoose]

Is the shoulder cannon removable then? Would drive me crazy displaying the open mouth with that.

Good to know, but not good news. Maybe Secret Compass will make it available. If not I'll probably have to order from Prime1

 

[Rotfish]

Busts are up on Prime 1's site. $900 each. Closed-mouth limited to 1500.

Way too much, what are prime 1 smoking? It's not silicone and only weighs 6kgs.

The DXS cost $500 more and you get two extra heads and a bucket load of goodies.

Prime rip off.
