Not sure, wouldn't someone have to cancel their order or miss payment for that to happen? You still might be in with a chance!

I've only had it a few hours, so here's a few quick thoughts and some pictures. Lighting is terrible here today so I'll try to get some better pics another time.
In short, this is phenomenal!
I fully maintain that Prime 1 ripped us off with the price, this is too expensive for what it is, you can get full on statues for this kind of money ($1400 total to my door) However, they have at least put a lot of effort into making this thing good and they have succeeded spectacularly. This is the collectible in my collection that most looks like it just jumped out of the screen, this IS the jungle hunter, and the bust is very well produced. Almost everything about it is about as perfect as we can probably expect from a factory produced statue. Materials are quality, paint is really good! I'd have preferred a 1/2 bust for this kind of money, but tbh this is almost the same size as the old Sideshow LSB anyway and as you can see, the detail and quality isn't even comparable in any way. This is definitely a smaller scale to the LSB, but the overall size of the bust is similar. This is a heavy old lump also.
I had almost been regretting ordering it once I actually thought about the cost, and I'm still not happy with that, but now I've actually seen it I'm definitely glad I have one. I will probably order the City hunter bust now also. I'm happy with just that rather than the whole statue, so I figure that's money saved over all. Yeah I'm not really sure what more I can say about this thing, it's just fantastic. It definitely lost a bit of head tilt, but it still has plenty of character for a bust, the eyes look great in person also, I had reservations about the missing pupil, but actually it looks fine and said pupil is half visible anyway.
Size wise, you will see from the following pics that it is noticeably bigger than their own 1/3 Big chap. It scales better with the SS Warrior LSB although that always seemed a little small anyway.
I will just say that it's becoming a little tedious how a few people just keep on slamming the Prime 1 1/4 JH in every single thread. That's their right but I don't really get it. Personally I absolutely adore that statue, it's my favourite in my collection. However this bust is a step up in quality over that, as it should be for the price. The base tones on the 1/4 are definitely darker, they have been corrected on this. Also the quills are much better implemented and the gloss coat on this brings it to life. But for anybody who can't stretch to the super high price of the 1/3... Go grab that 1/4 and enjoy it, it holds up pretty well given the huge difference in price. I think it's great that we have options at this kind of quality either way, that LSB was what we had not so long ago. This new Prime 1 stuff is awesome whichever one you go for.
That's about all I can say, I love this thing and can't wait to receive the full statue.

P1 have any companion 1:3 Alien busts up atm that could pair well with this?
None that are sold individually, unfortunately.

Can’t really add much to the well reviewed commentary so far. It’s a keeper, the full statue is going to be insane judging from this bust, which by it own rights is in a class of its own for a mass produced item. Paint is great, quills and dreds done well other than a bit stiff. It is as solid as a piece gets for the size it has to be all filler poly, p1 did not skimp the materials.
A shot or two…..

Looking positively unreal.
Come on, Sugo, ship this sucker.

Congrats to all that have got theirs, it's definitely a keeper. Hope Sugo get their allotment in very soon. Great pics everyone!

Been given one last opportunity to buy this.
Definitely overpriced but it looks amazing, I'm really torn.
If I did go for it I'd have to get the P2 Bust also...
