Thanks RP, I honestly cant say I favor one more than the other because I love them all. I mainly collect predator and love trying to acquire anything related. I normally don't post pictures on here because of the bios but this is what I own. I'm out of town as of now for thanksgiving and can't wait to see my masked predator LSB got number 48/400 so I'm happy.

Like I said - not meaning to troll OR insult anyone else's tastes/likes - it's just personal preference.

  • Hate the base - partly because I can't stand the design of the aliens in AVPR.
  • Don't like the pose - makes a killing machine look like an epileptic morris-dancer.
  • Netting on legs.

I could go on - but simply put - it's like the new (ish) 1/4 P2 maquette - it bugs me more than it warms me.

I understand it's not trolling to me. I don't like the netting on the legs. But we all know they all have flaws so I look for the best in them. Sometime you have to do a little networking to fix thing (quills on P2) but I don't collect much so it doesn't bother me that much.


On that note backs to masked hunter LSB.

I'd take the netting off the moment it arrived for sure. I like it myself, it was sculpted by ADI and is the best Wolf we'll ever see I'm sure. I'm not sure I'd ever actually pay $2k+ for a collectible with no ES however.. Even the Wolf.
 
Python - fantastic pics mate! Thanks for that. Really curbed my impatience until today when mine arrives.

Firefly - amazing room! Serious dedication right there!

Regarding the Wolf, I think he is a great looking predator, but just can't get past how crappy AVPR was. It makes it hard for me to like Wolf, even though he looked pretty good. I think they should have given him leg netting in the films though. Predators need netting!

Thank you, I'm sure you'll like it when it does arrive. Just to save you panicking for a few minutes as I did... The detached dreadlocks are hidden around the back of the box ;)
 
Okay, had a good look at this now, I like it. It isn't perfect but it's a very decent addition to the line and looks nice on display. As ever there are some pros and cons, this thing is heavy! None of that feather light nonsense here, it is so heavy in fact that it is a bit tail heavy and you have to be careful not to nudge it too much or it will topple, the base definitely should have been extended back a bit to compensate for the extra shoulder armor. The paint isn't actually bad over all, it lacks P1 specific weathering which is always the case from all companies making Predator stuff and the blast mark on the head is bad but doesn't ruin it over all as it is more subtle in person. The main problem is the usual lack of refinement by the factory rather than anything specific. The cannon and dreads don't slot in correctly for example and some parts are poorly constructed with areas missing paint (the belt buckle and the area between the head and bio mainly) Fortunately none of these areas are too obvious once it is up on display where it does look nice. I do wish it had proper lenses though, why is that still being overlooked? especially on these larger scale items. Still, very much recommended...

Not the best pictures as the English midlands are as dull as can be today, but they will have to do for now...

With the SWS 1/4 bio for comparison... That has real lenses!

received mine from us yesterday box a bit battered so was no looking forward to seeing state of it but inner box was ok and quite pleased with the bust apart from the silly scratches on helmet i thought at first it had been damaged but looking at others it is battle damage but will look good with our other 3predator LSB hope they dont sstop the line now i was really looking forward to the elder pred before it was pulled
 
Yeah, my box was battered also, shipping and art box, no damage to the actual bust at all however fortunately. I'm just hoping for a masked P2.
