If the Prime 1 had the accuracy level of the NECA 1/5 Predator I would be all over this. When the proyect was announced I was seriously impressed by the size, optional parts and possibilities of this statue. Now that I see the final product I’m not. I know this one has a better painjob, quills, better netting, tons of accesories, lights and a beautiful diorama base, but when I see this I don’t see Kevin Peter Hall in a suit in a frame taken from the movie, and that turns me off.
I want a perfectly scaled replica that looks like the real thing shrunk down, and this is not what Prime 1 did. They created a very complex, detailed and clean computer model of the Jungle Hunter that lacks the soul of the Stan Winston creation interpreted by Kevin. I’m happy I passed on this as I was seriously considering having it as the ultimate Jungle Hunter, but for me its not. And I’m happy for the owners that will enjoy it.
I hope someday a company would do a proper 1/4 or 1/3 KPH in a Jungle Predator suit. While that I’ll stick to my NECA with their limitations.
